    Model S history, anyone know this car ?

    Well see how quickly it sells. Sales manager petulantly forced me to take back deposit because I couldnt organise finance quickly enough. I wasnt familiar with the way they do finance these days and wasnt satisfied with the security of bank document transfer. I still kind of like the car, who...

    Sydney to Melbourne via Tesla Superchargers, how long?

    I thoroughly enjoyed my Spirit Journey on the way to the AEVA AGM in November last year in Devonport albeit in a ICE Mitsubishi with the Ripperton Electric Superbike in the back. Those Magnificent Ladies of the sea have an aura of their own.

    Sydney to Melbourne via Tesla Superchargers, how long?

    Its better than reasonable, its spot on. On my Syd Mel Syd 24 hour trip, I averaged exactly that. Sometimes 35min sometimes 45min. Simply only charge untill you have enough to get to the next SC but dont forget to add 15% for temperature error if you are driving in the middle of winter or summer.

    Red Centre Adventure !

    Tessie still looks like she just rolled out of the showroom Richard, you must be a very careful driver, or a lucky one to not have had any Roo's jump out in front of you. Is there any way to feed 2 or even 3 caravan leads into that 240v charge cable. I used to use both charge point outlets at...

    My Light Bar Project

    The LED lightbars with large cooling fins on the back resonate loudly if they are out in the breeze unless you tape them up. Good thing yours is hidden away. Very musical...watch this (Mitsubishi Express)
