Mary and Roger Bauche tell the story of their journey from ordering a Tesla to Building their Dreams with the Atto 3.
What do you do when waiting in line at an electric vehicle launch? You swap stories. At the recentin Brisbane, Roger and Mary told me the story of their journey from reserving a Tesla Model 3 to purchasing a BYD Atto 3.
On 31 March, 2016, we made a deposit on a Tesla Model 3 at Carindale Shopping Centre, being third in the queue. The car had yet to be unveiled.We subsequently rode in a Model S and experienced Ludicrous Mode. We both, Mary and I, test drove a Model X prior to the arrival of the Model 3 in Australia. We then got a chance to test drive the Model 3. As Mary is vertically challenged, she found the Model 3 not as suitable for driving as the Model X.
By the middle of March 2022, we had had no indication as to when the Tesla Model Y would be available, but we heard that a small SUV from BYD would be available by August. We decided to place an order for the Atto 3 extended range. When the release of the Model Y was made, it was for the Standard Range and the Performance, not the Long Range, which we expected would be around $80,000. The Atto 3 at $47,000 is certainly a big plus even though it may not have all the bells and whistles of the Y.
We have had investments in both Tesla and BYD for approximately 2 years. Both have been good performers. BYD’s growth is steady, currently up 40%, while Tesla has fluctuated wildly, currently up 85% . Tesla makes all the news while BYD is well under the radar. It’s like the tortoise and the rabbit. BYD’s largest investor is Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway with just over 8% ownership. His $232 million investment is now worth $8 billion.
