In Australia the demand for Tesla electric cars continues to grow and new owners often decide to exchange their old cars with new models of this brand. However, it is interesting that the most new Tesla buyers on the continent choose the exchange with Japanese cars Mazda.
In particular, Tesla in Australia has recorded high demand for the exchange of old cars for new medium models , among which the most exchanges are made on Mazda, in particular on popular CX line models According to Tesla in Australia Tom Drew, this trend creates a " healthy balance" between existing Tesla electric vehicles and new customers who are just beginning their journey in the world of electric vehicles . Tom Drew noted that Tesla actively seeks to reduce the number of cars with internal combustion engine on the roads. And this actively promotes the program of exchange of old machines for new electrical models. Among the most popular TESLA exchange cars in Australia were Mazda CX models , including CX - 5 . Over the last five years , Mazda has sold almost 120,000 such medium SUV in Australia , and many owners of these machines now choose Tesla Model y . The leader of sales in the country, the interest in sharing with Mazda is the most expressive, which can be explained by the similarity in prices on Mazda CX- 5 and Tesla Model Y. These two models are in the same price category, which makes the exchange profitable and convenient for Australians .
Interestingly , in other countries the situation looks different . In the US, for example, Tesla also notes the popularity of exchange with other brands, including Ford , Cadillac and KIA. Models as Ford F- 150 Lightning, Cadillac Lyriq and Kia Ev9 have become one of the most popular among those who exchange their old cars for new Tesla. In 2025 , 1.2% of all exchanges in the United States were carried out for new Tesla, which demonstrates demand for electric cars and similar trends in other markets. One of the main reasons why many Australians choose to exchange for Tesla is the desire to reduce the impact on the environment . Electric cars have a much lower CO2 emissions, and Tesla , as a leader in electric manufacturers , attracts more and more buyers who seek to reduce their environmental trail.
Thus , Tesla not only continues to capture market , but also actively affects the change in transport habits and environmental standards, offering favorable opportunities for the exchange of old cars for new models.
