So, now that Gundagai has opened officially, I guess this thread gets "un-stickied"? Awesome that MEL-SYD is so easy now!

Congrats! :biggrin:

I believe that Tesla have a "destination charging" program for the installation of HPWCs. This would be much cheaper than spending $3k on the unit you've mentioned. It shouldn't be too long before the 3 phase HPWC is released here, which will provide a similar amount of AC charging current.

I reckon. What a shocker. Couldn't believe what I was reading. Surely he knows someone with a Model S.

They like it, but they still get a lot of things wrong. "Acceleration to 100km/h 5.1s" That would be 4.4s for the P85+. "The Tesla we drove is rated for 502km, but realistically you'll get about 300km, and probably less if you have a lead foot." Wouldn't 300km range only be if you have a...

Yeah, I'm partial to the Blue too. Saw it at the launch event and loved it!

Love it! Great to see a pic mate. Looks like you're having fun! P.S. Has having the car helped in rebuilding some "spouse capital"? :wink:

Thank you for providing a non-vertical, normal, horizontal video. Vertical videos need to be stopped! I like on my phone that there is an animation showing that the phone needs to be turned before starting a video if you're holding it vertically. iPhones need this feature badly!

Apparently the whimper is a sound effect he added in . Classic! :biggrin:

That's pretty impressive for the Outlander! Especially considering it only really went on sale around April/May. Definitely my choice from that list after the Model S. I think the Model S should do pretty well this year as the public get to know it exists and due to the efforts of enthusiastic...

The chargers at Chadstone are HPWCs, not Superchargers. As Roentgenium said, it makes a lot of sense for there to be a rollout of HPWCs in the capital cities, as well as other "final" destinations, rather than superchargers. Superchargers in cities are mostly of use to people who live in...

Totally agree. I think the best option in Australia for the price is the Outlander PHEV. It's only marginally more expensive than the top diesel Outlander, can tow, has 5 seats, has SUV space in the boot and is still $10k(!) less than the Volt. Of course, the best EV in Australia is the Model...

It would be great if they put one at the Taree service centre as far as convenience goes in getting on and off the highway. Only problem I can see is the charging spaces possibly getting ICEd during busy periods, unless they put them some place away from the eating area.

The other thing I've picked up from reading about it is that the US$30k price is after their $7.5k federal incentive. So, US$2.5k more expensive (US$37.5k) than the projected base price of the Model 3 (US$35k) before incentives (which obviously aren't available to us Aussies). Looking at how...

Exciting to think that that photo was taken in Sydney! Very much looking forward to tonight!! :biggrin:
