    New location - Cremorne Vic

    Probably a crash repair centre, spun off from the main site for extra room.

    Great Ocean Road

    Go visit the redwood forest and Houpton falls: Google Maps Bit of a dirt track but a model x will handle that easily.

    Tesla "Range for Rural Living" Video featuring an Australian

    Sounds like this is the 'live with a tesla for a week' deal, so nobody on here probably. Probably around Warragul or thereabouts for the township stuff then footage from out at Loy Yang and up around Noojee or Bunyip state park area for that ferny gravel road.

    Chadstone Store - Closed 24/10/23

    Was seeing a movie on the weekend and while parking I noticed Tesla are expanding their charging area behind the store. Currently there are 5(?) carparks but they're for demo cars only. 6 new (extra wide) spots with wall chargers installed and embossed Tesla signage on the carpark pillars are...

    Supercharger in Eastern Victoria

    I doubt there will be a supercharger in Eastern Melbourne. If there was, Baxter might be an okay location, on the way down the Mornington and not too much of a detour from the South Gippsland Hwy (Cranbourne) for those heading to Phillip Island and Wilson's Promontory. But to get that built it'd...

    Chadstone Store - Closed 24/10/23

    Yep. Which are nowhere near the store now.

    Chadstone Store - Closed 24/10/23

    That is just a mockup of a supercharger, they are in most (all?) stores. So the staff can explain the supercharger network.

    Chadstone Store - Closed 24/10/23

    The largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere and also central Sydney? Nah, pretty smart. Huuuuge potential customerbase and also brand awareness. Brisbane will get a turn eventually, but with a 5m population city (both Syd and Melb) having a store in the busy places first makes...

    Chadstone Store - Closed 24/10/23

    The new wing of Chadstone opened today, with a lot of new stores and even more stores relocating from other areas of the shopping centre. This means that Tesla has upgraded from a static display located outside of Myer which has existed for a bit over a year now, to their own storefront on the...

    Australian Supercharger network

    Oh sure. I'm just saying that with 4-6 more superchargers you've got Victoria done and dusted, maybe some infill locations in a decade depending on the uptake of the model 3 and future cars but most of the other areas would be served well with destination chargers.

    Australian Supercharger network

    Parkes would work better because of the crossroads, although it is only 120km from Dubbo; it'd also end up being moot if Orange or Bathurst got a supercharger IMO. With the SA route (including Ballarat), you could easily cover most of Vic with a few more supercharger locations: Lorne &...

    Spotted in Australia and New Zealand

    Saw 4 today on the roads, one this morning from a distance going to opposite direction, white. Then at 3:30 on Elgar Road I saw 'Megha' and a minute later on Wattletree Rd I saw a white one but only got a partial plate, 'AFW-xxx' and 10 minutes later on Warrigal Rd I saw a black Model S with the...
