Bugger missed a PS. Ive just switched insurance to InsureMyTesla $2150. Was cheaper than the QBE quote by $110

Congratulation Hansel, Its a bloody big leap of faith (& money) for many to step in to a Tesla. Was for me too way back when it all started in Australia. I'm in Melbourne so you contact me directly if you like. I have just upgraded to 100D having knocked up just short of 90,000Kms on my original...

Well Ive done it- upgraded to a 100D as of today. Nearly 90,000kms later/ 3 years in my S 85. I was surprisingly emotional about seeing my Signature red beast go....:( Quickly replaced with the EV grin of a new beast.....:)

Gudday Brewster and co I am happy to add some voice to the need for an SC in downtown Warrnambool. I am due to do another run down that way to visit customers etc and whilst Portland is a nice spot I begrudge having to drive the extra 90+ Ks both ways to get to the motel to charge overnight...

Interestingly Ive just had a trade in offer for my S85 from Richmond with 75,000+ Kms on the clock ( pre EOFY ) . I was very disappointment with the $75,000 trade In offer against the prospect of a P100DL. The remark was made that once my beast passes over the 80,000Kms it would be expected to...

$0.35c/KwHr is a bit over the top. I agree they have to recover costs plus volumes of Model 3 about to hit the deck but I buy power at $0.235/KwHr 24/7 now so the "Retail" Supercharger costs will run at a net +48% Margin based on today costings. Tesla are in danger of souring the megastar image...

Hi All Just arrived back from 5 days in Surfs/Brisbane. To my astonishment I did not spot a single Model S in the 6 days and I had help from the 2 young grandsons.! It brought up the question : How many Model S rego's are their in QLD at this point.?

A new update... The 12 volt battery failure is a result not a cause. The main drive unit( Inverter) in my beast has decided to start to die. When the main drive inverter has stability troubles on the high volts rail it shuts down the recharge inverter for the 12 volt battery. Result: Waiting a...

Thanks Meloccom I hadnt thought of that possibility in all the 'excitement' of the unforgiving traffic. The guys in California on the remote link were great - system full reboots etc but Ive yet to get any solid response from Tesla Melb as to a loan car, truck pick etc.. that was 9hrs ago.....

Hi everyone, Ive experienced my first serious vehicle failure by way of a 12 Volt battery failure. 4 days ago an alarm came up saying 12 volt cell faulty please change soon. No performance change AP unaffected all good... 2 days later new battery fitted in richmond by Tesla - everything back...

Not sure if this is the right thread for my question. I may have to do a quick sprint from Melb to Smithtown NSW. The only charger system I haven't notice much discussion about is Port Macquarie NSW 2444.( mind you I may have missed it with traveling) Can I safely assume its all up and running ...

Ive just picked up the latest IIHS safety challenge and it was surprising. Link is here:

Ive just done a trans Californian trip San Diego thru to Sacramento with my brothers P85 ( earlier version no TACC ) on 19"s and the road quality was super crappy much of the way. Sheering points on concrete road slabs was really bad so I'm not at all surprised 21" cant cut it in the states but...

Hi EcoCloudIT this evidence would suggest that you are a safe sensible and careful driver who doesn't often "'Punch it". If only I could hold back...:cool: Once a revhead always a revhead.

Bugger!. A price rise is unfortunate timing for me. I am seriously tempted to trade my 85S (60,000Km+) in over the next few months and go out to the end of the limb and go P100DL :D. Has anyone sold there 85S or variant privately recently? Would be interested in the numbers of what buyers are...
