    Pia is the owner, and she's on a mission! Melbourne's a slightly different landscape when it comes to hire cars than Sydney is. I help they come here soon too. Matta

    Evoke.limo - our experience

    Hey all; A few weeks back I took my team to Sydney for a day and we rode with the Evoke.limo service. Given they exclusively run Model S' I thought an update here would be appropriate. I got to ride in an 85 with executive seats, I've never actually been in the back of an S as a passenger...

    Anyone Smash Yet?

    Yup, all the bits are Tesla bits. New pressed panel as panel beating Aluminium is like trying to uncrush a can - almost impossible.

    Anyone Smash Yet?

    New panel + respray. It'll be impossible to detect. Pics to come.

    Anyone Smash Yet?

    I do believe I have the dubious honour of being the first smashed privately owned tesla in Australia. Beware of people who can't reverse. It's still in the shop, fixing them is not a fast process. I hope to have it out next week. It's in good hands - the repairer is also the authorised rep for...

    I'm grateful for you guys doing all this. Can't wait for an of-the-shelf solution that us non-"let's experiment with electricity" types will be able to buy :) Matta

    Live near the CBD, was just under a 200km round trip at 197Wh/km with TACC in use for the vast majority of the trip. - - - Updated - - - Easy. Lots of freeway with 110 zones, which is unusual here in Victoria as far as I can tell. 600m of elevation gain on the way up and 600m drop on the way...

    6.1 in Australia

    I got mine last week. The TACC is mind blowing and the reversing lines make for less "NOT THE RIMS!" moments :)

    List of confirmed Australian Orders

    I think I'd trust the calls and emails over the website. The locals will have a much better idea than a website that caters for deliveries globally. I reckon the date was the initial expected date, probably entered by hand months ago and hasn't been updated. All theories of course, but having...
