Install on my P85 in Australia. Nothing new in release notes.

I have it as well but only when car charged at 100% (or close to it). Started happening about 6 weeks ago (about two releases ago). I've assumed something to do with thermal management when 100% battery charge. Dec 2014 Model S P85.

Nice! What App is tracking your use and generation?

I've only charged from solar for the last month. Slightly more effort in timing and added a wall charger in at work - but I love the concept.

I thought it was just me. Every time I take it to service centre (160kms away) it goes quiet.

Nice. Tesla can pull out all stops when they really want to. Just need Keith and my 4000kms in 4 days adventure is back on track.

"Unfettered democratic process" means any member can put a proposal to the AGM and it has to then be voted. This is what has been done. Since you are no longer a member I guess you can't be part of that process.

Let us know a timeframe when you are settled and we'll have a lunch or coffee catchup. Sounds great!

They only have two of the tyre barriers that stop the car reversing into the super chargers. Too much risk that they weren't prepared to take. Fair enough I reckon. Definitely is opened, I charged last night and others have already today.

Thunderbirds are go!

Still work going on there now - maybe tomorrow.

Thanks for the updates. What's this ICE rubbish ? :-)

Fortunately, I also have the Wetlands Charger if I get stuck. Also I can do Port Macquarie SC in a pinch if I need to make it back.

Awesome updates @NovoCasGreeny - thanks. I have to drive there specifically to check it out (which is always fun in a Tesla).

No Tesla logos. I'm not sure about your two week time frame @Sluggabed . Still looks like a lot of work to do.

Some more.

First from phone.

I'll grab a photo tomorrow.

Puma Petrol Station (under construction) 2285 Pacific Highway Heatherbrae NSW 2324

I get heaps of people offering to help .... ... and, yes, an extra case in the 'microwave'. I love my fresky.

Well, that explains why I got a comment today about Wests having Tesla chargers - I thought only we knew ;-) It was from a group of mechanics who were checking my car out today while I was waiting to pickup my daughter from school. They were super-interested in the technology and no fear about...

I can check it but do not expect to see much yet - if all my intel is correct it depends on a dinosaur juice servo being built.

Awesome trip @RichardMcN . The pioneer spirit is alive! If you use the bus to tow the Tesla in drive you could use regen to charge the battery :-) (The physics & maths doesn't align, but hey).

When I compared my car (Dec 2014) to Dainis's newer P85D (Dec 2015) at the Hunter Valley EV Festival I noticed that his doesn't have the double latches like ours. Just the bigger front one. So it may not happen with newer cars although does that mean that ours have extra safety with the double...

Here are a few photos. Very Cool Electric Delorean Track time!

It was lots of fun - sorry we didn't catch up @NovoCasGreeny . Track-time with Dainis with his P85D and mine was a heap of fun and we both talked our heads off all day. I did grab some video from my Tesla Dashcam so I'll clean it up and post it here with a few photos.

After 18 months of perfect rims, about 4 weeks ago autopark scuffed my front left quite badly :-( It reversed in OK but then when going forward it steered straight into the gutter. Nice high square gutter - not happy Jan. I've lost my confidence in it - also I only used it as a party trick...

PS Looks awesome @Tubbers

I'm keen to get one. @alpal can you let me know how you go and the process you followed with them.

The Hunter Valley EV Festival is on this weekend at Cameron Park on the outskirts of Newcastle. It is organised by the Tom Farrell Institute at the University of Newcastle. I've been to the last couple (last year my car was on display with @Dborn) and there have been plenty of cool things on...

That one is at Wests Newcastle , or rather their attached motel (quite nice). 22kWh so must be 3 phase HPWC.

@Chuq Maybe after various hassles, the new servo option was the easiest.

2285 Pacific Highway Heatherbrae will be the location of the Newcastle Supercharger. Inside info from a electrical authority friend - it will be within a new to be built Puma Petrol Station!

Dual all the way @alpal - I did get mine with duals and the quick-charge advantage is great when on a trip. I also expect we will see more and more third party chargers at 32A 3 phase so it will help on any trip.

@dogphlap: Always happy to help while our Superchargers are being built (due 2015 ....) :-)

First in snow ? 17th July 2015 - Going over the mountains - at Mount Victoria

A bit keen! I think I might order from the comfort of my keyboard.

Awesome job by the chief counters LGGD and ColinA. Thank you.

Spotted in Newcastle

I wonder if we will see more CHAdeMO now that BMW and Nissan are rolling out stations in the US with it.

Use EV Trip Planner and play around with the figures especially the speed multiple. 125 uses heaps more juice than 100.

Awesome MisterT. It was great to finally catch up in person and to meet 'MrsT' :-). I hope you enjoyed the rest of your break. hope to catch up again soon.

There was a fair bit going on. Lots of fun. Absolutely see you at the next one!

Great story ZTrekus. It was a great day and I agree completely about the Auto Pilot. It is a wonderful thing! I did over 1000kms yesterday and arrived home tired due to the late hour but not the driving. Absolutely brilliant. It was also great to meet up with other Tesla owners.

*sigh* Not denigrating, just setting the comment into context - melocomm's comment was about 3 phase - NOT 16AMP 3 phase, that's your addition.
