I've visited Denmark several times in the early days of the RAC Electric Highway. The trip was done via Bunbury RAC charger. Yes, it is a longer drive but I enjoy driving this car so much and the route through the forest from Manjimup to Denmark is so nice that I don't mind the extra time and...

Service response for WA is very good based on my experience and that of other Perth owners. A Tesla service team was in Perth recently for two weeks to conduct an annual services.

Hi Tim, RN108913595 / online / existing owner / 1 April John

My car on the south coast of WA at Torbay near Albany.

There's a thread here http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/53488-Battery-aging-degradation-over-time about battery aging. I charged to 90% yesterday and got 336 km typical range. I bit low I thought. I'm going to do a range charge on Friday.

I plan on going off grid with my new home and a PowerPack would be perfect. Surely if there was enough demand, Tesla would consider selling PowerPack for the domestic market. I think there would be good demand in Australia despite the current Government's anti renewables policy.

I care. I power my car from my home PV system during the day when I can, and so avoid using power from the grid. I offset all my carbon emissions such as trips in aircraft with carbon offsets at Community Climate Chest https://www.climatechest.org.au/host/ata/ When people say "electric cars...

I was paying for "natural power" from Synergy but now I offset my all my carbon at Community Climate Chest https://www.climatechest.org.au/host/ata/ It's a donation so tax deductible and a share of the proceeds go to local environmental groups. You can choose which renewable energy projects...

Hi Timpoo, Please put my car down as delivered on 4th Feb.

I think politics should be discussed on a separate thread, if at all.

Hi Danuson, Welcome to the forum. Did Tesla mention anything about a service centre in Perth during your visit to Sydney? As far as I am aware, there are five taking delivery of their cars in Perth in the coming week. You are welcome to take my car for a spin if it helps you make a...

I'm going off grid next year when I build my new house. What type of batteries are you using? Lithium?

What happens if you have an accident? Do you have to Opti-Coat the whole car again or can you just do the repair area? Probably a good idea to let your insurance company know so that you are covered.

From a novice point of view, looking at the chart the trend is down.

I don't think you will see the 2016 Volt or the Bolt in Australia. Holden must be questioning the non success of the Volt in Oz. Nissan must also be asking the same questions.
