    Y RWD Supercharging 170 kW Max?

    Model Y has always said 170 kW charging on the spec page when you select "Rear-Wheel Drive".

    Superchargers in Australia

    Remember these are superchargers, not destination chargers. If someone is using a supercharger to do the bulk of their charging, there probably isn't enough convenient destination charging in their area. Superchargers need to be on major roads as the goal should be to get you back on the road as...

    NSW EV charging master plan

    This video does a good job explaining how the US 120 V system is wired to the transformer. Our transformers are wired differently so we don't have level 1 (120 V) charging, we only have level 2 (240 V). TLDR; US neutral is wired to a centre tap on the transformer, resulting in two 120 V to...

    NSW EV charging master plan

    We need level 2 chargers at local shops and other destinations, the idea is to charge while you're doing something else. In the city I'd rather have a lot of level 2 than a few DC rapid chargers. Level 2 chargers are mostly FREE - 0.40 c/kWh. DC rapid chargers are 0.60 - 0.70 c/kWh (unless you...

    Popularity of Utes in Australia and the prospect of electric versions

    Most cars will at least briefly float, that's why they get washed away in flood waters. If CT floats, it will also float down a flooded creek. Given the roadster will have an option for air thrusters, the CT could have an option for pump jets.

    Popularity of Utes in Australia and the prospect of electric versions

    This is off topic, but vans make more sense as commercial vehicles in the city, but vans are purely utilitarian so not good for private use, same as a single cab ute. People are buying dual cab utes to pick up kids and the groceries, and to carry a motorbike/ATV/surf board/skis/landscaping...

    NRMA fast charging network

    Why not use the 50 kW evie charger at Macquarie that is only 40c per kwh? That should give you almost an hour to have dinner without being the "guy that needs to move their EV" and is a much better choice for an extended stop.

    NRMA fast charging network

    Being expected to use the most expensive charger in an area is an inconvenience too. Third party networks need demand signals to expand stalls per site and improve availability. Tesla owners should be part of that demand and will improve the experience for all EV owners in time. Even 2 chargers...

    Superchargers in Australia

    Tuggeranong is on the other side of Lake Burley Griffin. Canberrans rarely travel between the north and south sides. In which case, there's a case to install the same in Gungahlin and Belconnen, and even Kingston on the south side.

    The future of CHADEMO in Australia

    The reality is this is what should have been installed in the first place. We are seeing so many new installs with 1 CCS2 plug that the second person who turns up ends up leaving or has to wait. As for Alexandria, there are better options in the area if you have the time to use AC charging. With...

    First Australian-made Seat Covers for Model 3 - Neoprene

    I'm saying the front seats are exactly the same between model 3 and model Y. Obviously the rear seats are different

    First Australian-made Seat Covers for Model 3 - Neoprene

    Model Y is the same seat as the model 3, sitting on a plinth giving it the higher seating position.

    I don't know what's going on with the Tesla accessories, they have snow chains for the 21" performance wheels listed but not the 19/20" wheels for the RWD that is arriving in the middle of snow season.

    It would be cheaper to subcontract to an agency in the UK. But that's a business decision based on client needs/deadlines. Only Model Ys currently in Australia are at Tesla showrooms.

    BP Pulse Network

    A lot of service suburban stations are poorly positioned to entice EV owners out of their car to make impulse purchases. Freeway service stations are better positioned providing somewhere to eat a fresh meal outside the car and stretch one's legs while charging for 15-20 minutes and a more akin...

    Ampol is the same company that was trading under the Caltex brand, just the trademark licensing deal with Chevron expired and wasn't renewed after a demerger with Chevron who own the trademark. Ampol is a revived trademark of the company that originally merged with Chevron.
