    Sydney to Melbourne via Tesla Superchargers, how long?

    Pop into the car and put your ultimate address as the destination. The car will then plan the route through the S/C system and tell you exactly how long each stop needs to be. Works very well. Most stops will be well less than 40 minutes, but by the time you have found a washroom and ordered a...

    Abercrombie House DC

    We charged at Abercrombie House (3p/32A) last Saturday en-route to the Blue Mountains. The house is a family home, however it is open to the public on a self guided basis for a fee ($15). They have 2 HPWC, but one is as the owner described to me a 'boutique' HPWC (1p/15A) and is used by guests...

    The AGL all you can charge $1 a day deal and the Wall connector

    I'm getting the AGL $1 a day plan. $365 a year is a fantastic deal for me. I drove around 28k in 12 months using up over 5,000KWh (I average 179 watt-hour per km). At $0.29 per KWh I paid around $1,450 in 12 months. We're moving soon and my commute will increase by a huge margin and I would not...

    Destination Chargers in Australia

    The Gateway Inn in Mayfield, Newcastle also lock their HPWC's. Overnight guests charge free, otherwise they charge $5 for a casual visit. As above, the Heatherbrae Supercharger is 10 minutes away, yet they choose to lock them up. Having said that, there have been no issues in locating keys.

    Brisbane Showroom and Service Centre

    I walked by on Tuesday afternoon & last night. On Tuesday the concrete was being poured from the kerb to the shop frontage. Last night at 10pm, there were 2 outfitters there. One was cleaning the windows, the other was on the phone. There are boxes of stock visible within the building. My...

    Emirates Wolgan Valley resort

    We are contemplating a trip to the Blue Mountains and ask if anyone on here has actual experience with charging at the Emirates Wolgan Valley resort? In discussions with the resort it would appear that they have hosted many Tesla overnights. I understand that EVOKE run their Tesla up there from...

    Unintended Acceleration?

    Yes, this morning; first time ever... I enjoy driving with the TACC engaged. Some of the pleasure comes from judging the exact point to slow using regen only. All was well in the decel phase for about 2 secs, slowing as expected, when a surge of acceleration was experienced. Even my wife...

    I am staggered that the Ballarat Supercharger has got to that stage of development before being 'spotted'. I wonder where else they might be developing, and yet to be seen?

    7.1 in Australia

    My 3G did resolve itself after a few hours. It took a few hours too for Spotify to allow me to set it up. No doubt both issues were related. I can't recall the pre 7.1 display for the 3G, but the 3G symbol and the Wi-Fi fan appear to occupy the same place on the screen with 7.1. Display...

    Wall Connector not charging car

    Exactly the same issues here during our install. Resolved by calling Mitchell. The problem lay in the instruction manual. I don't have it to hand however there are instructions for an Asian install and an Australian install. I could hear Mitchell chuckling in the background as he pointed out the...

    Autopilot Experiences in Australia

    Observations to date: The steering wheel is in constant motion as it strives to maintain the exact middle of the lane. I would imagine with time Tesla will detune the sensitivity. For my liking, it does sit too far to the left. But what I really like is watching it gently ease away, and back...

    Distance driving - Brisbane to Sydney

    Just adding numbers to what Ray said about descending the Range; but in our case Cunningham's Gap, a similar descent from Toowoomba, but on the Warwick to Brisbane road. As we crested the hill the rated range indicated 192km available. It held that value for most of the descent then jumped to...

    Spotted at 2pm today, a blue Tesla 716 VMQ northbound through the Gumdale lights, Eastern Brisbane outskirts. Would have to be a local as am I; just wondering if he is on the forum. Got a nice wave back to my cheery thumbs up.

    What is your Lifetime Wh/km consumption so far?

    At just under 1000km since delivery 33 days ago, I am at 182 Wh/Km lifetime. Most of that driving is running errands, with just a couple of 60km drives each way. I don't think the smile will ever leave my face when I look at the car, let alone drive it!

    I totally agree. At some point these rises will have to choke demand. This time there was some very accurate intel that this rise was imminent, and no doubt a lucky few will have saved themselves a significant sum. Like many others I was caught unaware of the impending rise in late 2014/early...

    I understand you entirely, caught in limbo so to speak, with our cars built, awaiting transportation. In my case, justifying the decision to outlay an enormous sum for a car was the most difficult part of this process, or so I thought. Once the decision was made, and the order confirmed, I felt...
