    Anyone Smash Yet?

    My (green) Model S came slightly damaged on the rear passenger door - Tesla wouldn't let me pick it up until they sorted it out with a body shop. I can't tell where the damage was, although when I picked it up there was still a bit of wax in the area.

    Sydney-Newcastle meet up Sunday April 19

    Had a great time, thanks for organizing. Will definitely need to do something similar again. Frunk sitting should definitely be a thing (if it's not already). We should do a list of actual name - number plates or similar since my memory is terrible. Like: Tim - CXB-89Y

    Spotted in Australia and New Zealand

    A fair point - charging from about 20% and started to really drop charge rate at the 50% mark.

    Interesting that you say that because I used to get a faster charge rate at The Star. But not for the last few times I've been there. St Leonard's seems to top out at just under 600km/hr but I've had The Star's rate go well beyond 600 and up to 690km/hr. Perhaps something has changed recently.

    Spotted in Australia and New Zealand

    Yeah, the parking spots are a bit odd with regards to the chargers. I noticed with the other car charging, mine was only getting around 50% of the usual power as documented. Also, a few days ago the supercharger was only pumping out 40kW and my car was the only one there at the time... As for...

    Issues with the car

    Mine has only one reverse light. Unless that's how they are from factory? Apprently the water in tail light thing is quite common.

    Features I'd like to see

    The one feature I regret not getting - upgraded audio. Lack of sub is crippling, limited detail but I suppose it's not bad for "stock standard". As an audiophile I wanted to get the upgraded sound but talked myself out of it by saying "I'll just build an even better system myself", however that...

    I was going to say I spotted yours, but you beat me to it. It was a double-spot. I was taking a picture as you were honking/flashing at me :-)

    Experience with electricians in Sydney

    My charger was installed by Phil Manning (0418 288 992), and he has previously installed another Tesla charger so he knows what he is doing and is an excellent electrician. I would highly recommend him for the install. I have no financial gain here, just really happy with his work.

    HomeLink Australia

    Getting HomeLink to work is not that big of an issue. If your receiver is incompatible then buy one that is, or buy a conversion kit As far as all the frequencies go, here's a list of the UK manufacturers and their implementations here Perhaps it's not as straight forward as pairing with the...
