Here are photos of the Goulburn Supercharger yesterday 8 Sept 2015. The fence is still up and work is still going on. But, it's getting very close now! It will be handy to have it available, although I won't necessarily stop here during a Syd-Canberra trip. It gives me flexibility to head down...

Congrats ZTrekus!

Thanks for the photos DGH! Those silver things (transformers?) look cool. It's a shame they get covered up later on. I guess there are 4 because one is for each pair of superchargers (eg. one for 3A & 3B, sharing the current). From the photos I've seen of superchargers in public, they're usually...

Exclusive: Teslas 6-bay Supercharger location in Wodonga revealed | techAU Woo hoo! Wodonga supercharger construction has begun!! See pics in this article.

The wall connector I installed in February was one of the 'early' ones and was apparently limited to 32A (although I'm not sure why). Then I installed a second HPWC at a different location in April. It is a 'newer' one and it runs at 40A in a standard NSW house. I run it at 40A all the time...

It's taking shape! These photos were taken today!

I called the service line a couple of times, late on a Saturday night. The phone was answered straight away by a Tesla employee. Admittedly he was in Europe, but he was very helpful and got the right Australian service guy to call me back. My issue (self-inflicted...ahem...) was resolved.

I think it's Shell with a Coles Express. Happily I don't need to collect petrol discount vouchers from supermarkets anymore! Chuq, thanks for the suggestion about supercharge.info , I'll put it there now.

Location, location! I found out the location for the Gundagai Supercharger and took a drive to check it out on Saturday. Council has approved 6 Superchargers at the "Dog on the Tuckerbox" site just north of Gundagai (I read the Council minutes online). The chargers will be outside Oliver's...

Hi all, I was there yesterday (Sunday 16 August). The formwork has been removed from around the poured concrete. I'm guessing the next thing will be putting a substation on top of the concrete, and wiring up some superchargers? Then there'll be concreting around the base of the superchargers I...

Heath said Goulburn is under construction, then *Gundagai* and Wodonga are next. Woohoo! Great event. I did the slalom and acceleration runs about 4 times each. So fun!

Less than 24h to go!! Forecast is a chilly 11 degrees in the evening. I wonder what that feels like if I open a window at 200km/h?

OK, Ztrekus! I drove through Goulburn on Saturday 1 Aug. The gravel pad is where the new substation goes I think (next to the existing one). Plenty of bark mulch has been laid for landscaping, marked up with where shrubs will go...

I'm going! The demos should be awesome!

Construction of the Goulburn Supercharger has begun! As expected, construction of the Goulburn Supercharger has started. The whole footprint has been fenced off! I heard a rumour that building works should be complete by 5 September. Hooray! Can't wait to have supercharged road trips!

I've had the standard sound system for a few months and it's great! Much better than my last car. You'd have to be a keen audiophile to need a better system. I don't think most people could notice the difference. I saved the $$ to spend on tech package and air suspension, which I find very useful.

Apparently Goulburn construction is due to begin this week. So exciting! Here's a photo from yesterday (Sunday 26 July) - nothing to see so far. But soon I'll post photos of this very spot transforming (ha) into a Supercharger location!

I'm guessing that construction must be coming very soon. The last thing I can find is this article in the local paper: Charge and go stations coming | Goulburn Post I'm driving past every few weeks so I will keep checking on it...

I haven't been asked for my plates, but I haven't been there for a couple of weeks. I thought they would already be taking note of it anyway - I can kind of hear the pause when I think it's being written down by the operator on the other end of the intercom. There is a camera right in front of...

Re: Shipping info: Yes, you can get the name of the ship your car travels on! My S85 came in March. I asked for the name of the ship and was given it after the ship left CA. I enjoyed watching the ANL Barega cross the ocean. re: Acceleration: I'm loving the acceleration. Makes every day a great...

I'm pretty sure that was only the second time on TMC. But, NSW plates from CXB90A to CXB90Z are all Model S plates. So a bunch of similar plates may have been spotted, from A to Z. White is a popular colour too, at least in NSW.

This is an awesome parody video. Not available on Youtube anymore, but it's available on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/125746164 Includes Tesla frunk sitting!

Tesla partners with places such as hotels and clubs to install charging points for customers to use. It seems to be a mutually beneficial relationship. They're known as "destination chargers". The actually connector is the same HPWC (High Power Wall Connector) you would have at home (not...

Hi all, Before ordering my Model S, it was hard to decide between solid white (a standard colour) and pearl white multi-coat ($2,000 extra). Pearl white has a beautiful lustre and it looks amazing up close. However, I decided on solid white, and I've been totally happy with it. At the Sydney...

Hey One Gear, I can see a good looking Model S in the car park! I stopped by on 5 May and one of the ladies inside said that an electrician had been there making preparations, but there's nothing to see yet. But it must be close!

Visited the town of Young NSW last week. Young is the Cherry Capital of Australia. Driving through scenic rolling hills in the Model S was an absolute pleasure.

In mid March I asked about servicing before picking up my car. The response was "We’re still working out the details of how servicing is going to be best for our customers. We’re working with the US to iron out the details. As the Model S only requires its first service at 20,000km, we should...

I picked up my car on 20/3/15. It's been great so far and has completely lived up to expectations. Every day I find clever new features. It's so much fun to drive! Acceleration is amazing. I want to reassure others that Tesla delivered exactly as promised for me. From the time I placed my...

Hooray! I am excited about this. The site is opposite a park and within a couple of hundred metres of several of my frequently visited places including: http://www.paragoncafe.com.au/ (open 7.30am to 9.30pm seven days) http://www.therosescafe.com.au/ (open breakfast and lunch seven days)...

I'll be there. Apart from meeting all you wonderful people, I want to check out tinting options!

Hi Keiron, My traffic aware cruise control is working fine. One idea: perhaps it was bug splatter on the camera, or a bird dropping that blew off at 100kph? It's kind of mind blowing using TACC in heavy traffic, huh? I've found it sometimes useful to twist the indicator while on the move, to...

I drove past the Artarmon Service Centre tonight: the show room looks almost ready to go! The "COMING SOON" signs were taken off the fence today... I will be wearing some Tesla red to celebrate tomorrow!

Hi Timpoo and all, I've confirmed my order on 25/11/14 - very exciting. All the info I've seen on this forum inspired me to go ahead. My car is: S85, solid white, 19" wheels, white roof, black textile seats, piano black decor, tech package, smart air suspension. What a great car! Can't wait...
