    EU to AU 32Amp Conversion adapter for Mobile Connector

    Greetings all, Does anyone in NSW have the Red EU adapter for the Mobile Connector that has been fashioned to a 56532 32 amp socket (5 pin)? I am doing a dash to Bathurst this weekend and would be ideal to charge on 32. I would be most grateful If I could borrow one tomorrow and return it on...

    Australian Supercharger network

    ME - 32 is the most commonly deployed - so that should always be the sought after - just like we used in Canberra - it also allows stake holders to easily "upgrade" to a public charging station or HPC or the like down the track when they see the amount of customers driving Telsa or any EV for...

    Tesla in Australia

    Know this sounds like a broken record - although the time is here (almost for the 3rd...or is it 4th time) - just some charging adjustments for AU which no doubt has been communicated -...... Robots are working hard to get it happening lol....;-)

    Tesla in Australia

    Sorry for the acronyms - TA is right - a SUTI is the type inspection - VIA is vehicle import approval (permit) - as per all vehicles - you must go through this process also prior to a vehicle arriving - however as "this" unit needs certification - you cant apply for a VIA until its certified...

    Tesla in Australia

    No need to go to Canberra - SUTI inspection will take place locally (Syd) and should be pretty straight forward - then a VIA (3 weeks) and then the AU car should be good to go.

    Tesla in Australia

    Sorry to say all that you will find this won't be happening - Model S will ship the way it is build according to your spec - and there is simply no provisions for bringing vehicles in sans ESS -

    Yup - he is fit alive and well - set tiling into Sydney life and working hard to finalise pricing ASAP - once complete he will be reaching out to everyone individually with as much detail as possible -

    Mark is spot on...Asset Lites prep markets for Model S introduction. Stone is a great guy - has worked with Tesla for about 2 years now, I have known him since he first started as a product specialist @ Santana Row - he touched down today - expect some movement / activity over the coming week...

    Tesla in Australia

    Hi Houdini - sorry for the confusion - yes - what i ment was that Naomi's comment re pricing from a few weeks ago is correct - you will have that. As Stone Strickland is heading out from CA this week, he will also be on point with owners and reach out to provide a better timeline, i would...

    Won't be a problem in AU TesAus - will be similar as when selling Roadster - T will be the manufacturer, importer and dealer all in one - no restrictions.....it will be T beating want-to-be delaers off with a stick...it won't happen.....the only thing that happens when you add a dealer?...the...

    Asset Lite is a role within Tesla that typically prepares the market for launch - in the old days an asset lite would arrive in a market and connect with customer and prospective customers.... - - - Updated - - - Correct - There should be a car with Huw and the Asset Lite to commence TD's -...

    Tesla in Australia

    Lets hope they stick to the initial thought process of starting with the USD with a minimal uplift (ie like Canada) price point and simply adding what is costs to bring to market - still @ 5% + 10% and 33% above LCT but at least the transparency is there - and not the Australian Uplift for the...

    the return trip to Syd from Leura will see an average of only 100 - 120wh/km with the decent - so it is a very efficient drive not to worry about. A HPC there would be perfect and with twin chargers onboard - more than ample for a bite and top off - - - Updated - - - It is good, just need to...

    I worked out the eastern seaboard last year with a diverted section to Adelaide also (then a short skip to the west) - ill post them for review. As everyones driving styles will differ, they need to be attainable distances and initially focused on interstate travel and Tesla will want to use a...

    Hi All Hope everyone is well and keeping dry & warm with this weather. What did everyone think of the Battery Swap Demo last week? - impressive to turn two cars around in the same time it takes to fill a 100ltr tank - still, supercharges are still the way to go - have used a number of them...
