Great news! And the single charger output of 150-180kW (presumably shareable) is really useful. Midland Highway traffic (and most oher places IMHO) needs more than 50kW chargers, but 350kW units seem like expensive overkill to me.

To get 7kW from the UMC, you will need to put in a 5-pin 3-phase industrial socket & buy a new tail to fit the UMC. I have one (which cost ~$185) with only 1 of the 3 phase lines connected. The most you can get from the standard tails is ~3.5kW using the 15A tail. if you can afford it, I would...

Ah yes, The UTAS tritium was tuned on recently, but at $0.80/kWh for a 50kW charger, you'd have to be desperate IMHO. I have used the AC chargers there in the past, but they weren't working the last time I tried. Not sure what amount of maintenance Exploren actually does on sites they "manage"...

Thanks @Chuq. Happy to stand corrected :) Out of curiosity, what was the single one added in 2024Q2? Glebe Hill in Hobart? Yes, I do know about the *planned* installations and that EHT is working hard to get some of them in, particularly the expansions. However, Tullah seems to be delayed by...

Yes, really great... if you live on the mainland :-} I cannot help but feel a little left out in that the number of new fast chargers available in Tasmania over the last 12 months seems to be approaching something like... zero.

I use Apple Music (AM) all the time and it works well. But, you will need to log in to your AM account within the Tesla app (which I gather you have done). Tesla Premium Connectivity is required for it to work. Unlike Spotify, there is no basic account that comes with the car that can be used...

I had it installed by Tesla. Very quick process. It's fine. I'm glad to have it. I think it should be required on all cars (not just an EV). A lot of ICE cars are really quiet at low speeds also. The spaceship reverse sound is very noticable, but the forward white noise sound is so quiet, you...

Yesterday, I DID turn off CoS under Schedule/Charge and it was no longer available. So, I could not turn it back on! However, I got the CoS install option showing again after logging out of the app, restarting the iPhone and logging in to the app again. It would be good if you could turn it off...

It came good for me after I logged out of the app, shut down the iPhone, restarted the phone and logged back into the app. Good explanation, with one exception. You do NOT require a Tesla Wall Connector. I don't have one and it works just fine. Nope! Only in the mainland parts of the NEM. Not...

I had to log out of the app, then completely restart my iPhone before the CoS option appeared. I had previously done the logout, then login dance, with no effect. My phone was already paired to my PW, but the process seemed to either do it again or it accepted the existing pairing.

Nope! I just started charging the car. No option appeared. Ah well, I guess it might happen when Tesla deign to bless my account.

Pretty normal from my experience. Electric Highway Tasmania uses some 80kW Kempower units (e.g. Oatlands). They share the power more intelligently between the CCS & Chademo plugs.

Of course. I was completely wrong about this aspect. I became confused when reading the manual's description about what is and isn't available in conjunction with Scheduled Charging. Apologies for posting incorrect information.

Rather than the Scheduled Departure setting, I think it is more some limitation on the Off-Peak Charging. It seems to be just a case of not being able to complete the charge (fully) by 0600. See the note at the end of the manual Charging>Scheduled Charging & Scheduled departure: "Once charging...

Yeahnah……. Doesn't work for me, unfortunately. Apple Watch added OK as key (both from phone AWT app and from watch AWT app), all settings are as described, but no unlock without phone. Series 4 Watch, AWT v1.3.11 (1349), 2022M3 RWD, v2023.38.6, iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17.1.1 Dunno if my watch is just...
