    Tesla St Leonards to close

    I think you'll find that all of the issues being brought up in this thread is a result of Tesla growing ridiculously fast, rather than people not caring. I work with the Tesla team on the business side, and the people I deal with, right from the top to the people on the floor, all really care...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Charging at Airport West Chargefox site and just hit 176kW. Ran the battery down to 50km but still couldn't get close to the 198kW that Paul Maric from Car Advice got. Can also confirm that power levels are very much restricted at low range. I have added 51kWh in 24 minutes or around 315km.

    Melbourne HPWC installation

    Hi guys - just a quick one from the viewpoint of a recommended installer, and have been for the past 5 years, installed more than 1000 as a company. For Tesla installs at the moment, when we give a quote, we always say it's a rough guide, and the final price will be quoted on the day...

    Melbourne HPWC installation

    Hi guys - long time Tesla owner and I also happen to run JET Charge - just some thoughts from my own point of view: 1. We generally don't ask for photos to firm up quotes because inevitably only a small percentage of people can be bothered to send us photos, and it ends up being too difficult...

    Model 3 Charging in Australia

    Just a word of caution on the adapter barrel (which you can also buy on Alibaba). When we were looking to manufacture our own we found that on the Model S it stuck out WAY too much and was a safety hazard. Also increased the chance of people bumping into it or cars scraping against it. SO we...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Performance Model 3 ordered without FSD. Got it in black. Will get it de-chromed and de-badged. If the black doesn't look good in the flesh I'm going to wrap it in brown to match my Model S :D :D

    Fellow MS owners from Vic

    Hi @Dilz it's Tim from Chargefox here. You will need a CHAdeMO adapter from Tesla or loan one from the Tesla Owners Club and you will need to download the Chargefox app. That's it!

    ChargeFox EV charging Network

    Awww don't be like that Paul, we're trying to cater for the large number of EVs to come, many of which are still in development, that will no doubt take advantage of very high powered charging. We didn't want our infrastructure to become redundant as soon as it is built. Elon himself has...

    ChargeFox EV charging Network

    The 350kW units come equipped with both 350kW capable CCS2 and 200kW capable CHAdeMO (ready for the new high powered CHAdeMO standard). ETA is end October for Euroa and before end of the year for the one near Albury.

    ChargeFox EV charging Network

    Hey guys! Wow I haven't been on these forums for a while. Thanks for the interest on these sites, and to answer your questions and to make a few comments (please note these are my views only and do not reflect the views of Chargefox and/or JET Charge): 1. We chose 350kW charging because it...

    NRMA fast charging network

    I wouldn't go speculating on what kind of equipment is going on these sites just yet guys. But as @Chuq points out, there is a lot more cost than the hardware itself.

    Independent Fuel Stations and EV charging

    You need to separate the various "big oil" business streams. From an extraction, refinement and supply perspective, yes they will absolutely want to keep their monopolies and reliance on fossil fuels. There is no doubt about that. To that end they will try and promote hydrogen because it...

    Confused Model X owner re charging

    It's true, one of my biggest failings as a webstore owner is changing the stock levels -_- I've got a few pre-orders and there's another shipment coming. Just trying to get word from the manufacturer when they can be shipped. I'll update the store now!

    Independent Fuel Stations and EV charging

    Petrol stations will definitely host high powered charging stations. Many of them already do in the UK and Europe, and we're in constant discussions with various players here. It will happen. Just a question of when.

    Confused Model X owner re charging

    This has stumped me...we supplied it to ausrod. I'm going to test it when I'm back in the office on Friday, but we definitely tested the unit on our own 32A 3 Phase outlet and it was all working fine...hoping to get a simple solution.

    Australia\NZ Electric Vehicle Charging standards (Ban the J1772?)

    Hi guys a bit late to the party here!! I can't go into too much detail due to NDAs etc, but JET Charge is part of a concerted effort to switch the industry to Type 2, and we are seeing great success. Many companies echo EV drivers' concerns, and changes are afoot. I personally think that...

    HPWC install - isolation switch?

    Hi jjsyd it's a legal requirement. All our installs have isolators, and for those you can see without one, it's out of the photo shot or behind the unit.

    Queensland Electric Highway

    Public charging is tough as a business case. People have a direct comparison to their pricing at home, unlike petrol stations. While it's true that higher prices in public charging encourages more people to charge at home, that obviously doesn't bode well for the ongoing maintenance of the...

    Kangaroo Island J1772 charging

    They should be rated at 30A, which means you'll get approximately 28-32km of range per hour depending on voltage. If anyone sees higher it may be because you're on Rated rather than Typical range. Unfortunately, a 30A charging station won't be able to supply 54km of range per hour as far as...

    Can you retrofit LED headlights?

    Personally, I think Tesla will start to steer away from retrofits of anything. I think Ludicrous upgrade was probably a mistake on their part. People will have to start getting used to the idea of the car as "consumer good", where new features are released all the time and you'll have to be...

    The instructions are a bit hazy, I reckon a fair few people would have the same issues as you! The RN is not in your email. You need to log on to "My Tesla" (just Google it) and once you log in it will display in there.

    Model 3 Reservations List - Australian TMC Edition

    Hey guys - I completely screwed my calculations - the old "left out a zero". I predict that Tesla have sold around 1% of Model S in Australia, so applying that to Model 3 reservations would give us around about 2500 orders. Meaning this is like 1.3% sample!! Haha. Alright better get more...

    Model 3 Reservations List - Australian TMC Edition

    Hi guys Even though it doesn't mean much, I thought it would be fun if we compiled everyone's RN numbers. I've put it on the "List of Australian Confirmed Tesla Orders" spreadsheet. When the Model S was launching in Australia, a lot of owners found the spreadsheet a good way to pass the time...

    Strange Behaviour - OK - I believe It Now

    I think there's been a change in why people ask questions about the car/look at the car etc. At the start it was more "what is that", "who makes that", "who are Tesla" etc... Now it's "hey that's a Tesla", "I've seen them in heaps of places", "is this the one with summon", "is this the one...

    Model 3 deposit $US1000

    Just to get it back to the definition of a "mass market car" - I don't think the Model 3 will be a mass market car, but as has been stated by many, it will be a competitor to the entry level luxury car segment. BMW sold just over 4000 3 series last year. Mercedes sold just over 9000 C class in...

    Should I buy one, or both, of these Tesla charging accessories?

    Hi Homer If I had to choose between the J1772 and the 32A Euro adapter, I would choose the J1772, as you'll probably find more uses for it. However, the 32A Euro adapter is just such a good and cheap insurance policy to ensure that you don't get stuck. Sure, you can use the 10A plug to get...
