And that bollard is going to wipe out a few cars too. It’s the only one for the whole site.

No activity there on Friday when I passed through at about midday.

Just for the record, Thrumster now has all 12 stalls enabled. Not sure when the extra 6 were brought online. That means between Cassegrain and Thrumster, there are 18 stalls near Port Macquarie.

Charged there an hour ago. State of charge on arrival was 60% so only got 73kW up to 65%. The 6 stalls on the left are covered up and have witches hats in front of them.

That car park was only opened in the last 6 months. it was an informal dirt parking prior. Definitely no drive through spots considered in the design and build.

Is very "random"... I've had 80 updates over 4 years and there is no structure I've been able to determine. Here's my last 20+ months of updates (for my 2019 SR+)...

I drove by the site in Raymond Terrace (as per the address in PlugShare) on the 14th October. Absolutely no activity to be seen. I agree, the Pacific Hwy need some TLC.

"For large homes that would like backup power capability for longer periods, Tesla staff say that a Powerwall 3 without an integrated inverter will be offered that can be “daisy-chained” to the hybrid battery unit." Does this suggest the PW3 without inverter could used for those with existing...

I just had a look here... Charging an electric vehicle It looks like Olympic Park and Picton will be the first to ask for payment. I did a fast scan of the sites around Sydney and those are the only two to have the comment "From late September/early October 2023, you’ll need the My NRMA app to...

I did Docklands, Vic to Ovens SC a couple of weeks ago. Got 294 km using 68% (79 to 11%) of the battery between charges. Calculating that out, you'll get around 430 km (100 to 0%). Temperature was around 14 - 15C and gained 158 meters in altitude. Driving the speed limit, with a large part of...

I too can’t get mine updated. I saw on FB a comment saying they lodged a service request with Tesla and the reply was that it’s a bug with the current car software version and will be fixed with the next update.

As I understand it, you just need to plug the UMC in to the powerpoint and the car. Then make sure the charge limit is BELOW the current charge (so it doesn't actually charge). Leave it for a few hours to do the firmware update on the UMC/Tail. I'm doing this now. I'll report back later if this...

Australia have better electrical systems than the USA. We can run at 100% of the circuit.

Suggest you sign up to the @Vedaprime excellent service. All is revealed and it’s money well spent with at least daily tracking updates.

I also use the right scroll wheel to change my distance from the car in front up [press right] and down [press left] when in cruise control.

Passed through Blaxland today. It looks like the new transformer is very closed to being finished. There is fenced off (sort of) location around the previously indicated location the 6 charging parking spots would be located containing Ausconnex working equipment. Good to finally see some...

I saw a Jolt box in council car park at Lagoon St, Narrabeen last week. It's not on Plugshare yet. It seemed to be "lit up" as the advertisements were running. Could not see the charging cables from the road. Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture as I was driving. I also found this...

Drove past the Jolt Mons St (West Ryde) site yesterday, and the charger infrastructure is completely gone. No sign of it or fencing. It is also missing from Jolt's app and Plugshare. Love to know the facts behind what happen to it. Disappointing if it was removed due to being a "pedestrian...

Interesting… I have 2022.40.7 and according to the TelsaFi, I’m one of four in Australia to have it and one of 86 world wide. The release notes have nothing specific for the version and I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Over the last 7 weeks I did over 7,000km around NSW, VIC and SA. I used the UMC more times then not overnight at our accomodation. I wouldn’t do a road trip without a UMC. I am glad they have dropped the price as it may be the only way I can get 10amp and 15amp tails.

Maybe it's not the existing EVIE ones they are worried about? I'd say it's locating NEW Evie charging spots. They probably don't want to install them near an existing NRMA one. Let's face it, NRMA have done an excellent job putting them 100 to 200KM across most of the state, which means Evie...

When leaving the ferry, don‘t start your engine until the car in front starts to move. Need to minimise pollution for the workers getting the cars off. Seriously, I turned sentry mode off so I wouldn’t record everybody walking past my car. I also pressed the park break. I don’t normally press...

Good to hear this! I drove down Ward St on the 2nd June and there was no activity at all. It is a very good location in relation to facilities and eateries.

I've been on a road trip in NSW and SEQ for the last 2 weeks. I just noticed the Toowoomba (24-May) and Tamworth (26-May) superchargers I was charged $0.58kWh. All other superchargers prior to those two were $0.51kWh. Did I miss a price change, or have these two locations always been higher? How...

Wow, I drove through there on the 25th of April and there was none of this activity. That is impressive progress in under 2 weeks! When they are ready to move, they can move fast. These will be way better than detouring via Goulburn Chargefox/Tesla.

For Scone run, there are 2 x NRMA at Pokolbin.

So if we take this across the NEM states (NSW, ACT, Qld, Vic, SA, Tas), there probably are NO times the wind/solar isn't available with them covering each other. And if we could get WA and NT, and even NZ into the NEM (ANZ EM??), we could have more renewal generation outside each states peak...

I’m travelling in Tasmania at the moment. I have charged at Devonport Supercharger, King Meadows, Scottsdale x 2, St Helen’s x 2 and Swansea without even seeing another EV. I did have to wait 5 minutes for the Cradle Mountain info centre destination charger. I have been also able charge...

I had an interesting experience at the Euora Chargefox chargers yesterday. Pull up to stall 5138 (350kW) and plugged the car in and tapped my token to activate. A moment later the following message appears on the very little screen... Charging is delayed until power is available And about 30...

I thought SA had 100%+ for 3 whole days in a row just passed Christmas? Looking at OpenNEM for SA, renewables generation for the 26th through 28th December were over 100% contribution to demand. Same for 19th January...

I usually don’t check into Tesla, Chargefox or Evie sites on Plugshare as I use and expect other drivers use those companies apps to check if the charger is available. Their apps give live status of the sites, usually much better than relying on PlugShare. I always check in at NRMA sites as...

I don't think the 50kW one is free. It's not an NRMA owned unit, it is a ChargeFox owned unit with an NRMA (and other) logos on it. And to keep this on topic... Evie have no units between Sydney and Taree... hope they change that soon. Good spot would be the BP station at Beresfield as you come...

I can confirm that using an Evie card (and Chargefox fob) both work with the EXPLOREN network. Our local council use Exploren and I have used both Evie card and Chargefox fob to kick off the charging session. Exploren allows multiple tags to be associated to the account. Always nice to not have...

How is this from Orange to Ryde area earlier this month? The 127 Wh/km is with a passenger, aircon, full boot (of wine from Orange) and driving at or below the speed limit. 2019 SR+ And this is from the Bathurst charger to just before the Nepean river bridge. Bathurst is about 650M above...

Talking to the guys who direct the cars on and off at each end. They absolute love EV's coming onboard. It means one less polluting ICE. Even with signs all over the place to asking vehicle owners to leave their engines off whilst waiting to disembark, there is a LOT of pollution being...

It also looks like you have a late 2021 LR. ABRP suggests you can get to Mollymook and back without a charge, starting with a 100% SoC. And still have 16% of the battery left over. Then you just need to cover your usage at Mollymook and side trips.

Have you checked at your accommodation? They may have a convenient 10Amp point close to where you park overnight. I always find that's the most convenient when available. Just like home!

Here is a snapshot for Sydney airport in April....

Sixt announced in the last week they have partnered with NRMA. https://thedriven.io/2021/12/07/german-car-rental-giant-enters-australia-with-65-evs-in-deal-with-nrma/

Originally yes, but some have been "unlocked" to go to 100%. Mudgee definitely is unlocked for 100%. Over time, I have also charged over 95% at Berry [Apr-2021], Jugiong [Jun-2021], Port Macquarie [Nov-2021] Edit: I pretty sure you know this, but you do need to press the 100% button on the...

My range has had an interesting time over the last 2 months... Teslafi noted a 25KM drop off early October. Then late November I did a 1,000KM trip and it jumped back up. I think the jump back up was around the time I charged to 100% on the Mudgee NRMA charger. Otherwise, my degradation is...

10 Circumstances in which road user charges payable A road user charge is payable for each kilometre for which a relevant zero or low emissions vehicle travels on a public place. To avoid doubt, a road user charge is not payable for travel by a relevant zero or low emissions vehicle on...

@doggy1 ... I plugged my car into my Gen 2 HPWC today for the first time in probably 4 months. The car started charging and then stopped with a message Charge connector update in progress I wonder if Tesla have updated the HPWC also in a way that is causing issues with the EVSE? btw, first time...

Is that 4 charging units in what was 3 parking bays between the pylons? Looks like its going to be squeezy. Upon a further look, the far left charger is probably to the left of the pylon. edit: Haha... and a return shopping trolley bay at the right hand end... that charging unit is going to be...

Question is... will these models be here in volume? They too have more profitable markets to sell into at the moment. btw, my bet is that the Model Y will be here by end of Q1 2022 at the latest. We could even see Christmas 2021 deliveries yet.

So how did the the grid outage and PW go?

If they end up at the South Taree interchange (where the Evie ones are) that's less than 90kms from the Cassegrain (Port Macquarie) Superchargers. Good to see Tesla starting to work on density for the major highways.

I see that Shanghai is considering making Model Y LR RWD. https://electrek.co/2021/08/11/tesla-files-produce-5-model-y-versions-gigafactory-shanghai-exportations/ I see this option being introduced into the mix to cover the price point for some countries rebate/incentives thresholds. It would...

Don't forget that in NSW (from your profile you are in Tea Gardens) you don't need a pink slip for re-registration if the car is under 5 years of age.
