So around $20-30 entry divided by 5, divided by 3 ?? That's a nice return.

And yet in the US Intel Atom FSD cars are getting the new full screen visuals, so there is hope for a future update.

Mini-bar style markups.

Only occasionally use Jolt but with some changes to my regular charger might have to a bit more in the future. So been watching their countdowns here and there on my closest charger, given their FAQ doesn't say much. For many cars, it seems to simply set a 20min clock (basically 7kWh) which is...

And probably have a generous separation agreement with a non- disparagement clause. Still seem to be a few people in the AUNZ team.

And from earlier posts, it should now be at Parramatta. Tesla Parramatta: 13 - 19 May 2024 Tesla Miranda: 20 - 26 May 2024

I think there are multiple things contributing to this. Elon is getting investor pressure as sales are slowing and there is a global EV price war, particularly with the Chinese manufacturers, and even some suggestions of high stock levels among various Chinese manufacturers in Europe. And at...

New sites under construction will get us back on topic.

Tesla Australia email just received. Notably the comments on the NSW and QLD part-Govt funded sites.

Per Neerav a new battery backed Elumina stall to be installed at Mittagong. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/QgxSiRGNxtQVNWyR/?mibextid=oFDknk Couple of these already deployed in Qld. https://techau.com.au/new-nrma-mittagong-rsl-fast-chargers-are-elumina-d1-with-built-in-193kwh-battery/

But ultimately sounds like BYD screwed up. The question is are they going to replace units under warranty, or even clas it as a paid upgrade (like BMW with its CCS1 cars) or so nothing (ergo Nissan and CHAdeMO). And all of that seems to have been avoided in the canned response given to Neerav.

Also did it.. kind of a weird survey that could have hidden some questions depending on how you answered others. Also missed a trick imho. I'm a fulltime public charger (large apartment building that is still slowly inching forward) but my decisions for day to day charging are very different to...

Since iPhone 11 (late 2019 release) but not in.cheaper SE 2nd/3rd gen (2020/ 2022 releases).

Engie at Wynnum in Brisbane's East. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/AAQBxSn3vrUgS1Zq/?mibextid=oFDknk

And appears NRMA has removed the Freewire units at Mittagong. Reportedly replacing with a different battery solution. Presumably this decision was taken prior to the Freewire news...

To an extent they go together due to the C-rate. Why you can charge a LR/P faster than a RWD/SR+, even when they had the same chemistry

Already does in some CCS2 markets (Europe, Australia)

As well as regulatory approval, insurance approval at a reasonable rate... All of which take time. Plus the fact that Tesla still isn't using FSD in the Vegas Boring Co tunnels, a highly regular and controlled environment.

Bureaucracy is a long word for a reason.

Been once every 24hrs for a while now, albeit if the car is not in deep sleep and an update is pushed believe it will alert you.

Suspect it's a bit of a see what works strategy. Within those 3 council areas you've got a few different systems - Original council network (mostly 22kW) - Chargefox - $0.42/kWh, spaces marked EV only - Intellihub pole network (22kW) - Exploren - $0.50/kWh, spaces not marked - Glenyar Ave smart...

Chargepoint in US/ Europe (Left Aus some years back) And while their share price has jumped post the Tesla news, it's a much smaller market cap than a few years ago.

Posting here as NRMA seem to be the only one using a Freewire unit (at Mittagong). But appears Freewire are also on the endangered list having shuttered their many factory and R&D facility, and laid off the majority of employees...

First case I've seen of someone ignoring and waiting out a "Reservation". Canterbury in Sydney, on Exploren network.

And some road markings

Which would be fine if Tesla owned the site and there was unlimited power. Unfortunately reality often gets in the way. In the US at the larger sites Tesla has been buying sites, but suspect expanding power is still a crapshoot at existing sites (and still requires employees to negotiate)

Some just don't get business concepts. Probably also complains at paying more than $1 for a can in a vending machine, and thinks Coles and Woolworths should have their prices because they are making too much money. And at the same time probably spent $2000 installing a wall charger with a life...

Agreed. And if you are looking at building a big battery, or solar farm, what additional risk factor due apply to a bid from Tesla, in case Elon nukes that unit. There's Jack Welsh style 10% cuts, there are deeper cuts, and then there is this

Too early to tell. An unknown of those Qld projects and 29 in NSW also have government funding and various agreements, so might make it more challenging for Tesla not to roll these out. But I see this more of a blip and delay, rather than total cessation, but probably with greater effort to...

Interesting that this update seems to be going out much more widely in Australia than anywhere else. TeslaFi shows more cars have it in Aus than the US. Are we the new guinea pig market? Or has it been pushed to address the UMC charging issues in 3 Highlands?

Email from Tesla that model is showing up at new Alexandria showroom

This one. Basically anything under construction - continue, anything yet to break ground - stop. But he also points out utilities may have spent $$s on starting to run power to sites yet to break ground.

Also a report he 2024.14.3 now includes the UMC charging speed update for 3 Highlands. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/KRcDYW2woE8SGZCB/?mibextid=oFDknk

Anyone with older cars (Intel Atom chip) received the update yet. All the YT vids seem to be later AMD Ryzen cars

Of course it's not falling.. but it is a little darker. One of the reasons I and many others bought Tesla's is because of the supercharger network, and an expectation that Tesla (or others) would continue to expand it as EV sales grew. And unsurprisingly Tesla has gotten great market share in...

Well they are in other places * Electrify America - VW (originally from dieselgate penalties) * Ionity - Europe network. Joint venture of the car manufacturers BMW Group, Ford Motor Company, Hyundai Motor Group, Mercedes Benz AG and Volkswagen Group with Audi and Porsche, * BYD - Massive China...

TeslaFi currently tracks about 10,000 non-FSD beta cars (who were mostly previously on 2024.8.9) This update has reached about 290 (pending plus installed) (so not even 3%)

All of which still requires a charging team doing most of the same thing. Negotiating with site owner, electricity providers, managing contractors etc. And in many cases increasing the amount of power might be expensive or time consuming, or a site owner might not be willing to give up more of...

I'd be less worried about this one. More about those yet to commence construction.

It certainly seems a crazy decision, particularly as the unit was profitable and designed as such per Elons tweets, and a major reason why people buy Tesla's and with their party charging other EVs. Massive loss in corporate knowledge and contacts on projects that are often years in the making...

Normally a few days behind and a staggered rollout. Not sure this is a thing for non-Tesla equipment. Certainly I haven't seen my SoC shown on any third party AC chargers with a screen when charging my 3.

That's a pretty useful improvement - gives you a sense as to how long someone might be.

I'd be more OK with reservations if there was some external notification. But with Jolt (mostly single chargers) someone has likely driven up to the charger, parked in the spot, plugged in.. and then fired up the app only to see it says reserved and they can't charge

The UMC is the ultimate solution to range anxiety. In the worst case you have millions of options, just might take a while.

I suspect it's install only on the basis that Tesla already owns the units. The part NSW Govt site was also listed as 6 stalls so possibly it is a changed location.

Looks like it's back to the future for Tesla at 118-124 Bourke St Alexandria in Sydney (the original showroom/ service/ delivery centre, now showroom and collision repair) Last week they lodged a DA for 6 V3 superchargers just off the street, in a public area before the gate line (This is...

Definitely some reductions. Standard regional rate has dropped from 70c to 68c/kWh And seemingly even bigger reductions in the cities, with some 30-40c off-peak rates at TOU sites

Somewhat interesting that driver didn't even press the brake despite the warnings sounding. The habit in a Tesla need to be to lift at first sign of danger or alerts. (Well other than phantom braking in which case you need to hit the pedal)

Yep it's still not common in Android territory. Sorento (and many other cars) do the tailgate via separate dedicated sensor.. and we all know how Elon feels about dedicated sensors (eg. Rain)

I suspect many of the weird location ones are actually duplicates that someone, presumably frustrated with the Plugshare editors, has just moved rather than properly reported
