Has anyone been able to get the Summon feature working in their Australian Model S? I have the latest software v7.1 installed. I have watched all the you tube videos but I can't get it to work either via the fob or the mobile app.

A friend rang me yesterday to say there was a red Tesla on the road in Canberra. Now we know who's it is! Currently there is one white with ACT plates, one pearl white (mine) and a Tesla employee midnight blue.

Thanks Dborn.

Thanks Danielp. I don't have any experience with what is at the Casino. I should have looked when I was there for the launch last year! So are there 4 super chargers at the Casino carpark not HPWC? The receptionist at Austral said the Darling recommended you could park for a couple of hours to...

I am looking to stay at the Star City Casino in a couple of months time. You can stay at the Darling or the Astral Tower as part of the Casino. The Astral Tower being cheaper. I rang reception at the Astral Tower, but had little idea (actually no idea) of the Tesla chargers. She spoke with the...

Thanks! The car is peal white. I bought the polo shirt a couple of months ago from the Tesla store while I was in San Diego. It is a P85+ polo shirt, and was the last one they had. So I guess it is a collector's item!

The car at home with the new plates fitted up. One week of ownership and the smile hasn't disappeared yet! I keep checking the garge to make sure I didn't actually dream it arrived.

Nice set up Jim. Are you feeding directly into the car or via your 48kWh home battery bank? IE DC panels to AC inverter to the Tesla wall charger? Or DC panels to DC battery bank to Tesla supplied AC wall charger? I am interested in setting up a similar system, but was trying to avoid the costly...

Actually we arrived with 115kms, but after sitting with the aircond on at motor registry for 45mins, and we live 25kms south of the city, we arrived home with 75kms. The extra 865kgs in the Model S over the Roadster probably doesn't help dragging that extra mass up from the coast. I expect...

Congrats Keiron.

To all Model S owners. I bought one of these cables as I could not wait for Tesla to approve theirs. I also purchased an over current device, as this means that you are in Australian compliance running off a 10 amp outlet. I bought a new Ampfibian 15 amp to 10amp adaptor which has RCD adn in...

We drove down the M2 and the M7 yesterday and the ROAM E-Tag didn't work. We weren't quick enough to open the sun roof and hold it up. I called ROAM this morning and because we had no plates (on a permit) they said good luck! However they informed me that they now have the Model S recorded as...

Please update the list to show mine as delivered.

Finally, after 4 and a half years, the baby is here. Pearl white P85+ with the works. Every option ticked! Drove it back to Canberra yesterday, to the amazement of 10,000 (estimated!) soccer fans driving to the Iran/Iraq match in Canberra. We sat on 105kph with advice from Tesla that we may not...

Has anyone looked at direct charging the Model S from a PV array? I am keen to know as I have asked previously but Tesla has not provided a response. The only answer I get is just conenct your solar to the grid and draw back off the grid. However in my case, my 4kW PV array is grid connected...

Thanks Meloccom. These are very different to the ROAM one I use. SO maybe the ROMA E-Tags will be OK. Cheers.

Hi Meloccom. Would you mind posting up a picture of first and second generation e-tags, as I have no idea what the differences are to look at. I had one shipped to Canberra years ago which we use when in Sydney. Thanks.

Tim, My car on order is a pearl white P85+ maxed out. Black performance interior, carbon fibre trim, 21" grey wheels, pano roof. Original deposit paid August 2010. Order confirmed 30/5/2014, chassis number xxxx46610. Currently showing in preparation for delivery. Michael

Wall charger installed about a month ago. Connected to off-peak, as ACT has introduced a new rate at $.10 per kWH for electric cars. Our Volt has been charging off-peak for the last three months. So in two weeks we will have 2 electric cars both running on off-peak power, using our surplus power...

Thanks Higgy. I will be doing the same thing in Canberra in about two weeks time. The details you have provided are pretty consistent with registering cars in the ACT. I have registered a number of rally car imports before, so the guys at rego are familiar with imports and the necessary...
