Definitely some reductions. Standard regional rate has dropped from 70c to 68c/kWh And seemingly even bigger reductions in the cities, with some 30-40c off-peak rates at TOU sites

Somewhat interesting that driver didn't even press the brake despite the warnings sounding. The habit in a Tesla need to be to lift at first sign of danger or alerts. (Well other than phantom braking in which case you need to hit the pedal)

Yep it's still not common in Android territory. Sorento (and many other cars) do the tailgate via separate dedicated sensor.. and we all know how Elon feels about dedicated sensors (eg. Rain)

I suspect many of the weird location ones are actually duplicates that someone, presumably frustrated with the Plugshare editors, has just moved rather than properly reported

Kojonup open (alongside a Supercharger that opened last month) https://thedriven.io/2024/04/23/closing-the-loop-kojonup-becomes-31st-location-along-wa-ev-charging-network/

Hervey Bay, Qld now open. One of the new mid-speed 150kW sites. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/oaq967bNm17QuSMV/?mibextid=oFDknk

Would be so much easier if Plugshare had a simple rule of no photo of a charger or charger under construction, no new addition. My other recent peeve is Plugshare allowing sites to be added with "Please see xx app for up to date pricing details". Far better to have a price that might be a...

The driven lists the sites (my formatting) https://thedriven.io/2024/04/23/ampol-to-roll-out-more-than-100-ev-fast-charging-bays-across-stockland-shopping-centres/ The EV chargers will be rolled out over the next 18 months at the following locations: Burleigh Heads, Baringa, Birtinya, Hervey...

Say what. Australia is at about 1% EV sales last year, and a fraction of a percent of total fleet. This is well below every European country and the US. Plus unlike all those other high penetration Western countries we are RHD.

You're not missing much on 2024.8.9, it was minor updates on 2024.8.7 According to TeslaFi (which has almost 20,000 contributors) no-one (which I suspect means no current (or unfortunately foremer) Tesla employee has 2024.14.x) But you are in the minority. Almost 9000 ppl on 8.9, only 500 on...

Road resurfaced and appears most of the hole for the directional digger has been filled (includes video)

Didn't think the roof has changed at all since the Model 3 introduction (Other than centre pillar speakers in the 2024 refresh/ Highland).

Not replace. If needed (depending on age of the S/X, think this is for pre 2017) they upgrade the port chip so it can speak CCS2, and then sell you a passive adapter. As wol747 already had an adapter (just seemingly hadn't used it) his car came with that functionality. Note that over half the...

Suspect it was decided it would be all too hard for parking inspectors to confirm whether a car was actually charging, and account for things like a power outage or fault that wasn't the car owners fault.

And only a 14.9kWh battery, and 3kW onboard charger.

Round 1 of the NSW grants listed Lakeside Tavern Raymond Terrace with 15 stalls. Round 2 listed Masonite Road Heatherbrae (fast food strip) with 10 stalls. Then this site popped up with 12 stalls. It's been assumed this is a relocation and slight reduction of Round 1, but no definitive...

It's just unfortunate that the product doesn't come close to the advertisements.

I don't think the audience for Jolt adverts is EV drivers (same as ads on bus shelters or telephone booths). The ads are placed so any driver or pedestrian sees them. That said while the model (advertising supported) works now, there's no real incentive for Jolt to expand the number of plugs at...

Got close tonight. Also like the new app update that remember your charging port type.

As somewhat expected, AVAS will be compulsory for new energy vehicles from November 2025 https://minister.infrastructure.gov.au/brown/media-release/making-some-noise-safer-vehicles

Full screen browser support also seems to be new. No longer need to use the tricks.

Now seems to have deleted all those posts.

They need the US factory to sell in the US under the NEVI program. Eg. $10m sales in Tennessee - Tritium Customers Win Largest Share of Round 1 Tennessee NEVI Program | Tritium

Lenders have now appointed receivers. https://thedriven.io/2024/04/19/australia-ev-fast-charging-tritium-says-it-is-insolvent-appoints-administrators/ Sounds like Trevor St.Baker has some large loans to he company as well. Wouldn't be surprised to see some combination of St.Baker and some of...

And now open to non-Teslas. (Took about 2.5 days)

But not for much.. post the consolidation (which ended up being 200:1) the share price had continued to fall. When I looked at it on Monday the market cap was under US$4 million. And they'd received another notice from Nasdaq because seeming the consolidation reduced their shares on issue to...

Original poster has said 2022 Y in NSW. And posted more on X

NRMA app working again for me, and still just those two

FSD always had the ability to drag the window (so not available for us) but this appears to be all the screen and the new media player. No reports on TeslaFi of 2024.14 going out. -+ Also according to Sawyer Merritt, the referral program is only ending in Australia and South Korea (or maybe...

Only Katherine and Alice Springs shown in Chargefox app (for those part of trial)

That's always the case until the update actually starts rolling out.

Speed camera chimes (ed) as well on 2024.14 https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2024.14/release-notes

Overhead shot from Steve J that shows the layout and setup for the underground drilling. Note end stall has extra space so could be used for towing.

Australia reportedly no longer a priority country for bp pulse. https://gizmodo.com.au/2024/04/bp-pulse-ev-expansion/

Agreed suspect it means Highland or refreshed front models. Expect that auto-opening trunk feature needs UWB (and a UWB phone) for the better positional calculation that someone is at the trunk.

Strange that the visual updates are listed as Ryzen only.. wouldn't appear to be processor heavy.

Snippets don't necessarily go anywhere, greentheonly had also discovered code a few years ago that detected other Tesla's model and colour, with the assumption they would be shown differently, but nothing has seemingly come of that.

And OPEN. $0.70/kWh, same as Heatherbrae. Not yet showing as available to other EVs (has taken a few days at other sites). Also listed with Wifi, unlike many of the other recent sites.

Yep. Boost is the only 3rd party network with full coverage. And has better access to 5G than many of the other Telstra MVNOs. Personally use Woolworths/ Everyday Mobile due to the once a month 10% discount.. basically pays for my plan every month (I'm on the $170 / 125GB 12mth plan)

There's another US company rolling out similar BYO cables designs to what we have. Funnily they are using the Type2 connector as it's standardised for BYO, and will just supply Type-Type1 or Type2-NACS cables.

Per beam, not per device. And I assume a single beam, a bit like NBN Skymuster covers many hundreds of km²

Don't think StarLink will have much bandwidth to the current antenna which isn't much different to a cell phone. Unless you can mount auch bigger array in say the roof pillar.

New sports seats for S Plaid Obviously has to better the 3 Ludicrous. https://electrek.co/2024/04/11/tesla-sport-seats-better-absorb-model-s-plaid-power/

So the Q1 2024 opening of these extensions was missed??

Doesn't appear to have opened Friday. Heatherbrae seemed to be just coping this afternoon with mostly 5-15min queues listed.

So not just going to the pole directly across the road.

Weird. Shipping wise you'd think China would supply India, and Germany the UK. Maybe import duties/tax plays a role.

In the US there was a cheap US$200 upgrade. It appears in Australia, people are also required to do the MCU2 upgrade (which does improve screen performance) but it's not a cheap upgrade A$2000+ afaik. Agree that Tesla should be moving to a 3G/4G/5G modem these days (noting that it's likely a...

And I should note that will be just in time given NSW school holidays start, and Vic and Qld finish
