Well at least the council is doing things, even if Tesla isn't. This is from their meeting on 24th April. https://www.armidaleregional.nsw.gov.au/ArticleDocuments/259/Agenda%20-%2024%20April%202024.PDF.aspx

I don't know how long ago this changed (some time in the last few weeks) but the Hobart pin on the Tesla map now says "coming 2024" instead of "coming 2023". As if that helps at the moment :-/

I've been persistently a glass-half-full person over all of the Tesla (and by extension, Elon, Twitter/X) happenings over the last couple of years. At first it was "I guess he was having a bad day when he said that". Then it was "OK he has an opinion, I guess he's entitled to do so". Then it...

Haha... posted by George. I bet it's the exact same George who is always saying the same thing on TheDriven comments:

An absolutely rooted situation for Australia. On the other hand, who's going to be the first to identify the not-a-supercharger-site from the photo above? Hints are: Regional Victoria, private business. We have to keep ourselves entertained somehow!

Obviously they'll be using the wireless charging, from the company that Tesla bought last year and was being worked on by Rebecca Tinucci's divis... oh.

It's not taboo, it's that it's been asked, answered, and if you ask the same question again, you'll get the same answer. It makes a hell of a lot more sense for service stations, fast food chains and shopping centres to build charging networks, than it does for a vehicle manufacturer.

Two things: 1) We don't have high standards for the other manufacturers 2) We don't want every manufacturer to build their own separate charging network. Tesla *had* to, because in 2013 no-one else was doing it. And everyone else was so disinterested in it, that they grew to become the market...

Looks like 2024.14.3 is rolling out, including to vehicles in Australia. https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2024.14.3/release-notes

Yeah, most of the expected etiquette about DC charging doesn't really make sense when applied to AC charging. If someone is slow charging while at a restaurant or movie (say, parked for 3 hours) they shouldn't be expected to come out and move at the 2hr 30m mark. (But similarly if they know...

Stan from the Kangaroo Island TV YouTube channel has posted his experience of charging here with his Polestar 2. And the two Teslas which showed up about the same time!

It seems they wanted to get on the front foot of this - hence why they've started to call it "Full Self Driving supervised" for the recent wide release. It's very clear, even to the most intentionally obtuse journalists, what it means. My guess is it won't be called "Full Self Driving" until...

It would be a different branch/update number for us I imagine. (Whirlpool comment says likely the same update as the matrix headlight update, but I'm not sure where that info is from...)

Spotted on Whirlpool today.. surprised this hasn't spread through the rumour mills like wildfire! The following have appeared on vehicles in the US. https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2024.3.25/release-notes
