    The new nose

    Personally I love it. Love the look of the whole car. I don't need such a huge car, and couldn't afford it anyway, but this makes me very excited for Model 3 :D

    Australia Model X delivery estimate is now late 2016 for new reservations

    Hugh, that's actually pretty close time wise compared to the Model S launch down here. The first MS's landed in Aus around the end of last year. Which makes sense I guess being a new market. But a year difference doesn't seem so bad

    Chevy Bolt test mule photographed

    I am a fan of Telsa (obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be on this forum). I have test-driven an S, but had to be in a different state to do so as Tesla hasn't made it across the desert in the middle of our country yet (Think roughly NY to Seattle distance). Well, there are Tesla's here, just not...

    Is anyone else planning around the Tesla III release?

    magic definitely waiting on the 3. I'm curious about the Leaf too (obviously a completely different experience, but currently cheaper). Aus Nis San messed up the launch for the Leaf here though, so we're still getting 2012 model cars here. So I could get one of those (currently 0% finance), or...

    Vanity Plates

    There was a Leaf at Electrikhana today with 'RA VOLT', as is sun god and electricity, plus play on revolt. Don't know what I would get when I eventually get one...

    Anyone in Perth?

    Done, I will definitely be there :D

    Anyone in Perth?

    of, how are the cars? Does anyone live around Midland? I'm trying to figure out what my chances of catching a glimpse are :)

    The dream comes crashing down

    Sucks about the car, and the accident in general, getting in an accident is never fun, and mostly terrifying. Not to bring about a huge argument, but just to mention it, here (Australia) I was taught not to measure in distance or car lengths, because that gets confusing especially at high...

    Australian Model S pics

    So excited to see pictures of cars in Perth! I think I might go a little crazy first time I see one here in person :)

    EVs in Australia (non Tesla)

    I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but it's growing on me. Hopefully by the time I have saved enough to be looking for my first electric car, I'll have a few to choose from ^_^ Now just to somehow make sure they release it...

    Chevy Bolt - 200 mile range for $30k base price (after incentive)

    I thought when Elon released the patents, he specified that other companies were welcome to use the SC network as long as they kept it free? Have I remembered this wrong? If I'm right here, that seems to me a 'good' reason why other companies won't use it; there's no way to turn a profit. On...

    Tesla in Australia

    I agree on the service centre, I assumed that service centres would have superchargers present, so therefore would make at least a small blip on the map :P As it is, we look to be all but ignored. Which 'makes sense' but is nevertheless frustrating for those of us who live here. More frustrating...

    Tesla in Australia

    I know that I probably shouldn't be surprised, but I am a little disappointed that on the 2016 map there was nothing about Perth. I want Tesla to explode here, but how many people can afford to both buy the car, and ship it back east if it needs a service? I really hope this changes, or my first...

    What car will you be coming from?

    When Model 3 comes out, I assume I will still have my current car... So whenever I can afford it, upgrading from Toyota echo. Or maybe a leaf by then. Getting really sick of petrol knowing there's another option.

    List of confirmed Australian Orders

    Swan Valley is really close to where I am. Pity I won't have a Tesla to drive there. Looks like I'll have to wait a while for a meet up :P
