I suspected from your recommendation, paulp, that you may have had some prior experience. Rick and I discussed the matter extensively. ;) Congratulations. The Frames are amongst the most brilliant (and brilliantly executed) concept I have ever experienced; and accept my word on it, I have...

Every election in Australia only ever focuses on health, education, jobs and tax cuts. I've personally experienced over twenty state and federal campaigns and each and every time it's the same issues, the same promises. And yet ...

You can see it's fairly flat once out a little from Sydney explaining the good average - for my whole road trip (Melb to Scotts Head and back) I averaged 197Wh/K. Most of the drive was sunny (April) and I used autopilot sparingly. I think the other main factor would be head wind if any - not...

It's my son's (who is in St Petersburg wind tunnelling at the moment); there for safekeeping. PS Thanks (not) for your concern about the anni prezzie! ;)

Road trip update! Take-off tomorrow morning 8.45am. Packing scooters - tick Trip Elevation Plans Printed - tick Batteries Charged (Scooters) - tick Undies packed - tick Anni prezzie bought - .......

First ;) at Cassegrain's Winery Supercharger NSW 01/04/2016

D'oh. Sorry Astroboy. Got your date. BUT unfortunately LGGD beat you to the punch - he holds the claim for WintergardenBrisbane on 13/9/15! (Great. Already the competition starts!) Dylanpete - need your dates. TesAus - nice! LGGD - really nice as well (and congrats for knocking off Astroboy)...

Hi Moderator (meloccom?) - as this trip is now imminent (take off Thursday), could you please rename this thread to -> Road Trip - Take 2 - Yaaaaaaay! Melbourne to Adelaide ...

I've had a continuing problem with Spotify and my USB stick music since the last update - hopefully this one will fix it.

Really? Is that it? I would have thought after a day of this incredibly exciting thread we would have had dozens of "Firsts". But just to reiterate - to stake your claim of being the first somewhere we need a photo with plates and a date. Come on!

You too Astroboy, date please?

Great shots Dylanpete but I need dates please.

Okay raynewman - 2 April 2015 - Claiming 'ran out (or nearly) while still trying to understand battery range'. Not a place but a situation - that's okay. Good memories hey?

Oh what! I thought I'd already been spotted (have been on slack). Not fair!!!!

Hi LGGD and nice to see you join this thread. I've enjoyed yours for a while now. Nice photo but I need id's to ensure validity of claim (;)). Thanks to the game I was playing with you and Colin trying to avoid being spotted by standing in front of my licence plates, all my photos from our...

@raynewman - I'm not sure where you are claiming? "Lost" perhaps. Or maybe, "miles from nowhere". I'll need a date too, okay? @meloccom - snap! Sydney Harbour Bridge 3/1/2015 - all yours(so far)! Nice shot.

Thank you meloccom. AndrewNSW - done and well done! Not only a wonderful shot, but that red car - wow - such a superb colour. So location 2 - The Red Lion Tavern in Glencoe 16/4/16 - filled. Come on - keep 'em coming!

;) Done.

Good idea - but - how do you rename a thread? PS My next road trip will be Melb->Perth so maybe MDK might have some competition.

How about we start a thread where, instead of posting photos of previously unsighted Teslas (don't get me wrong, I like that thread), people can also post photos of their Tesla being in a place (city, monument, view ...) for the first time ever. (I can hear the cheers already! What a great idea...

Not sure what you mean, NovoCasGreeny, so I guess not. I was the one stuffing those crepes in all night - hmmmm - Nutella!!!

Zapman, thanks for this offer. I have started a new conversation with you.

No 39 tradition hey? I think the modern one is lace. Hmmmm ;)

AUD780! Wood hey. I'll have to look up 39.

An evening of delicious food and Tesla talk at iconic "Food Truck Stop, Welcome to Thornbury", was promised ... but not delivered. It was better! Great people - great food and drink - great location! Well done Tesla Melbourne. Thanks for a wonderful night.

Road trip update! CHAdeMO adaptor picked up last night from Tesla (not cheap!) - almost ready to go! Check list - Plan (where to charge and for how long) - check Adaptors - check Booked ferries - check (one to Kangaroo Island not...

Not sure if you want us to reply here PJF, but - we're in for 2 people (Sharon & Alan)! Can't wait - sounds like fun (definitely the panna cotta!)

Now happening with USB stick music! Anyone else having these probs?

How good is that Tesla red!!

The wait - she's so sweet.

The front folds down and the seat is simply removed. We get two of these easily in the Tesla's boot with the back seats pushed forward. Plus - they're a lot of fun to use - especially in ludicrous mode (when I'm onboard)! ;)

Not a special red! Not a special red!! :@ "As a Ferrari owner" - says it all. Hmmmmph!

Red - the preferred colour of those discerning few! Of course, there have been many studies. How often have you heard the one, "a red or two over dinner is good for your heart". Or perhaps, "better red than dead". It turns out that simply there is less friction as you drive with the colour...

Count us in(2)! Sounds like a load of fun. Can't wait till we meet some more Tesla owners.

Arrrrgh - auto word correct - 'Je ne sais pas'!

Found! And to maintain our theme, electric too! So for the record, to accompany us on our next road trip we have purchased two electric scooters to occupy us whilst we charge during the day, and for those who like to see the specs: ;) 48v 12AH Lithium battery => .576 KWh (Yes that's half a...

Road trips are fun hey. This extra element of range arithmetic adds a certain 'Je Ne said pas' to the whole exercise. Nice description.

The average tax payer doesn't pay the average amount of tax at the moment in our system so who cares. When they do, let's talk. Australians will always buy mainly based on price only so that is the area that needs attention, as you have said. And yes, I agree also with you, the model 3 is sexy...

The Greens (and Labor for that matter) have no other way than their now habitual concept of paying for their spending by taxing the rich. But I do agree with Blue heaven - it progresses the discussion. We'd better wake up soon - while the rest of the world transitions to EVs and the...

I ordered an extra charger when I ordered my car which I picked up and installed before my car was delivered and I was specifically advised (warned) to follow the Australian section of the manual for installation. My electrician, however, managed to follow another section thinking it was all the...
