    Superchargers in Australia

    supercharge.info has an unofficial X account that automatically sends any update as a post. https://x.com/superchargefeed They have reported at least 20 new supercharger sites getting opened in the last 2 days, most of them in China. Not bad for a pause 🤣

    Going through Troy’s timeline, one wonders if he is a market researcher, IRA credit expert, battery materials expert, automation expert, CEO, China auto expert & Nostradamus rolled into one? 🤔 Asking for a friend.. but I will leave this here 😛

    I don’t know about the US, here the utilities love an opportunity to gold plate their network because their regulated rate of return is based on the capital expenditure. This will be a drop in the ocean of spending that’s not needed.

    I think we’re going way off topic on a supercharger thread. Meanwhile, there have been reports from the US of new superchargers being magically commissioned today & communication going on as normal with the contractors ( apparently reported by Kyle, but I need to figure out which of his zillion...

    Won’t someone think of the little contractor whose email bounced? 🤣 Their interest is protected by a contract and they will be suitably compensated for any breach of contract by Tesla. We as customers are not affected. This is a storm in a teacup. If the email hadn’t leaked, we’d have been...

    The sausage making I am referring to is all the real estate lease signing, liaising with electrical subcontractors, councils, power companies etc. ..The boring, slow stuff.. The SC factories in Buffalo & Shanghai are still running. Please refer to my earlier comment.. There will be a...

    I prefer Bjorn Nyland’s content, quirks and all, compared to Kyle. Although they do similar tests, Bjorn’s channel is more customer oriented & covers EVs that are more available here (Tesla, BYD etc)

    Yeah. Rome wasn’t re-built in a day 🤣. That’s how Elon rolls. Notice that actual Tesla customers aren’t impacted by this (unlike the time Elon personally yanked Twitter servers off-line in Sacramento and the app had stability issues). You can still go out today and supercharge on sites with 99%...

    You have reading comprehension issues or deliberately malicious. I used “interim” to refer to new models on existing assembly lines. you twisted my words - “making RT's "in the interim" Hope this is comprehensible. 👋 SPadival said: You are mis-stating what Elon said. He said they will...

    Cursory Linkedin lurking and I see some AU based SC deployment PM getting fired. They haven’t updated their bio yet , but they are liking & reposting stuff about the SC layoffs. He has already done that on X. But no clicks in that for the legacy media to publish it.

    You are mis-stating what Elon said. He said they will continue with the unboxed method for Robotaxis. i.e. in the interim, they will use the existing assembly lines & some next gen processes for the new vehicles (note plural) until the unbox method is production ready. This is sensible derisking...

    Elon has fired an entire team of literal rocket scientists (working on Starlink) and yet managed to launch thousands of satellites into space a year later. No disrespect to electrical engineers and PMs, but they should be easier to hire/re-hire in comparison.

    Elon Musk said Tesla will focus on "expansion of existing locations", which is exactly what is required to handle peak demand during the holidays. We were spoilt for choice on where to supercharge on the Melbourne-Sydney route. Some of the SCs will be under-utilised because unless you...

    I don’t know why we wittingly or unwittingly keep repeating this FUD. Giga Mexico is paused because Tesla are trying out the unboxed manufacturing method in Giga Texas first. This is a logical, rational, financially & technologically sound reason to pause Giga Mexico. Also, the second...

    He fired a bunch of literal rocket scientists and still managed to hire some dedicated/exceptional people to launch thousands of satellites into space. No disrepect to their profession, but a few dedicated/exceptional electrical engineers and paper pushers cant be harder to recruit/rehire.

    Anyone who is invested in Tesla should probably invest some time in reading/ listening to Walter Isaacson’s biography. Elon is in “Demon Mode”. As his ex-girlfriend said, it’s harsh, but it gets sh** done...

    Starlink is literally rocket science and earth orbit is the largest real estate there is that is accessible to mankind. The guy is obviously s*** posting like he said🤣 The same process has happened 2 other times - Recently when he fired 80% of Twitter and before that when he announced the...

    It’s not a big secret If you have read Walter Issaacson’s authorised biography of Elon, where he talks about Elon’s “Demon” mode. The same process has happened 3 times before - Recently when he fired 80% of Twitter - when he announced the closure of all Tesla showrooms/galleries & move to an...

    Yes. We are spoilt for choice on where to supercharge on the Melbourne-Sydney route. Some of the SCs will be under-utilised because unless you manually add them as a stop, the nav will simply skip them (for example, Exeter SC) by default because the nav is optimised to reach a lower charging %...

    The guy fired 80% of Twitter staff and added more features than it did in its entire existence under the previous management. So let’s wait & watch before jumping to conclusions. Meanwhile, please take a vaccine against STED (Smarter Than Elon Disease) 🤣

    No. He unfollowed them after they shared “The Information” article on the leaked layoff email Also, notice that these “journalists” never publish the full text of the email, as it may provide additional context to the readers 🙄

    Elon taking 80/20 rule to the extreme 🤣 Let’s remember the doom & gloom when he fired 80% of Twitter and everyone in legacy media predicted that the sky will be falling. He has also fired the entire Tesla “influencer” team 😅

    Baidu replaced Navinfo, another Chinese co partly owned by Tencent back in 2020. Google was never in the picture. I think legacy media is spreading what they thought was FUD (Tesla dependent on Baidu.. blah blah), but it is gloriously backfiring on them 🤣 . Edit: Ironically, Reuters has...

    Tesla has been using Baidu maps in China since 2020. They have been using Mapbox Valhalla for route planning in the rest of the world (not sure about China). They use Google only for map tiles and satellite view. The only recent change with Baidu maps is the spring update with 3D buildings...

    Tesla is building & commissioning new data centres right now. Elon mentioned the spend will be $10 billion I am not an AI expert, but I don’t think it is a straight forward process to port over training to a new chipset. So no harm in Elon earning his non-salary as a skilled negotiator and...
