Elon Musk’s electric car giant Tesla will quit the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, claiming its members are seeking to ‘raise’ not ‘reduce’ total vehicle emissions by 2030.
The FCAI is the long-time representative of the auto industry – it lobbies the government, makes submissions and puts out vehicle sales stats.
On Wednesday, the FCAI gave its response to the government’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, noting SUVs and light commercial vehicles make up around 80 per cent of total sales.
Tesla responded to FCAI CEO Tony Weber, saying, ‘Over the past three weeks, Tesla considers that the FCAI has repeatedly made claims that are demonstrably false.’
‘If consumers believe the FCAI’s false claims that electric vehicles are about to reduce in price by as much as 25 per cent next year, many will conclude they should avoid purchasing one now.’
Tesla also argued if high-emission vehicles are to increase in price by $13,000 from next year, people might rush out and buy those instead right now.

I see a lot of scorched spots on the freeway where cars spontaneously combustion..
Tesla needs a country where it can dump its Chinese made vehicles.
Good riddance
Climate change is a lie,those pushing it should be ashamed of themselves.Propaganda,brainwashing,repeat a lie constantly and some people will believe it.Same with the science,the virus,the injections,these people are mad.The climate has always changed,this is not about emissions,this is about total control.The WEF,U.N.W.H.O.,Bill Gates,agenda 2030,CBDC,Great Reset,etc….leave us alone,you are not our Masters.
Every time I hear the government and celebrities preach we must do xyz (Climate, C19, etc) for the greater good, Im calling BS. Remember net zero means zero for you not them, it's a big club and you're not in it.
Australia likes giving short notices especially to innocent immigrants
completely true because all other makes of EVs are unable to cut prices they already selling EVs at a loss.so it makes sense
Elon has making demonstrably false claims since he has been in te EV industry.
The irony… where Musk has lied literally about every single thing he ever said…
Get raid of ELON MUSK.
The bottom line is that anyone who really needs/wants a diesel powered 4WD for work or recreation e.g. towing a boat or caravan will obtain one. They will either pay the additional price for a new one, buy a good second hand one, or hang onto their existing one.
My 2004 pre common rail Prado is looking more attractive all the time. Got at least another 300k kilometers left in it, which should be enough to see me out.
It's about time Tesla owned up to all their false range claims.
Good bye go home Elon you big sook !
LOL Well Australia that's what happens when you go full statis/communism. Stifle innovation and force unrealistic timetables. As an American I would of pulled out as well, even more just to punish your WOKE commie government.
Just another tax, that WE will pay!
What a nightmare! A
Hilarious. The biggest vapourware company on the planet complaining about false claims.
Really been craving for Elon to put microchips in my brain lately.
Go research what the Elites own.
ICE WILL NEVER DIE.
The Mask of Elon Musk slipping off………..

John Cadogan sums up the FCAI as a self appointed, self serving, old boys club of a lobby group in most of his vids.
Was that door at 0:06 actually open or is it legendary Tesla build quality?
Elon's just having a hissy fit because Jeff Bezos is now the richest man!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good luck Australia. (You have eco-lunatics and psychopaths for a government, who probably spend their time behind closed doors licking the windows) you`re gonna need it!
Climate alarmists are notorious for promoting green propaganda.
When you wish Tesla was just a blowjob instead of being born.
EV are so overpriced the majority probably over 70 percent of potential buys can't afford them…EV sales are going nowhere but down along with the number of units sold…buy what is useful and affordable
A cold undercurrent of ICE industry political power.
When a electric car manufacturer sais the government is lying about CO2 emissions then you definitely know there full of it.
FCIA isn't that owned by Toyota?
Good riddance, crap cars
All a ponzi scheme
This guy does amazing work debunking Elon 's claims https://www.youtube.com/@Thunderf00t
For the vast majority of people an EV will mean buying a Chinese car (other options being way to expensive). In the same breath the government says we need to be wary of China and its expansionism, spend BILLIONS more ramping up our military capacity in response, yet at the very same time we MUST become more reliant on China for manufactured goods, especially energy generation and transportation.
Do I sense a whole lot of BS is being peddled????
Global Tribunals Have Begun… the Elites Can't Escape Nuremberg 2.0
War criminal
Say no to the green scam .
EV’s are by average 30% heavier than a gas vehicle of the same size and should therefor pay 30% more road tax for road repairs😬
Why wouldn't they? The lobby only represents the likes of Toyota and Volkswagen – two of the most dishonest auto makers in the world – and the oil industry. Wake up, Australia.
Government is organised crime at its most organised level.
More government bull 💩trying to destroy the Australian middle class
The people who do the work and pay the tax for these bludgers 😡😡
Burning fossil fuel cause heart and lung diseases and cancer. Can people finally understand that. Buying diesel cars especially is just ludicrous. Its just pushing the oil companies agenda. Can people actually think these days? For small distances use a bicycle. Holland as a flat country has twice the bicycles per capita. Ex petrol head.
Teslas are over priced rubbish, running on coal in Australia. With dangerous so called hi tech engingeering. And Causing more damage to the earth, it's just a shift in what's being mined and all mining is finite. It is about making money and then controlling all the population, except for the polys and elites.
People, you need to wake up.
