    Brisbane Showroom and Service Centre

    This is getting super interesting, as a local I can't wait! Can we get this stickied to the top of the thread?

    Chadstone Store - Closed 24/10/23

    New Stores in Sydney AND Melbourne, still no store in Brisbane, NOT HAPPY JAN!

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    Yes that's the one. In terms of 24 hr amenities and available parking space this would be the best, unless there are significant changes when they build the bypass.

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    This is usually a pretty busy carpark at the best of times, I suspect this is more to do with improving capacity. My money is still on the Highway service centre further south on the highway but still in town.

    Difficulty accessing TMC via Bigpond ADSL in Australia?

    This sort of problem is usually a routing/DNS issue from the IP address that Telstra assigned you to a given server/s. You can confirm it through ping testing. Provided you're not using a static IP then restarting the modem will eventually fix it when you get assigned a different IP address...

    Sydney Store Opening June 30, 2016

    Still no Brisbane Store :-(

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    Supercharger at Woopi? Some decent Indian food close by, hopefully if the 24hr service centre opens they'll have a retail presence.

    Strange tesla comments in Australia

    Perhaps she's seen Mad Max a few too many times? Given the short lifespan of fuel sitting in a tank versus your average off-grid home I would have thought this was a no-brainer.

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    The only planned Superchargers north of Brisbane was at (roughly) Gympie, that has since been removed. Fingers crossed for further growth North next year!

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    As we've seen before it's likely to be the one with the most co-operative council. So it could be any of the proposed ones next, least likely being Brisbane as I'd suspect that one would be post store opening.

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    I'd like to second that! As someone who has done the great drive north many times both up the Pacific and the New England highways I can certainly see the benefits gained by doing this. Future inland rollouts to places like Scone and Tamworth would work well with this.

    Supercharger - Port Macquarie NSW

    ColinA, Can you put these photos in context of location? Maybe a Google maps satellite pic showing where this is from the highway etc. And a very big thankyou from all of us for the updates :-)

    Supercharger - Port Macquarie NSW

    Yeah, from other things I've seen/heard (reddit) the biggest hurdle in SC rollout is council approvals. This is probably what we're seeing here, Tesla probably had the least resistance here so things happened faster here. Mainly I'm happy things have started happening and it's still only January!

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    As far as Cut & Paste journalism goes it's not too bad. They haven't overly sensationalized it, it doesn't look like click bait. - - - Updated - - - If I were the betting type my money would be on the Adelaide connection. Hopefully we might see some regional expansion like North Queensland...

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    I couldn't agree more. Discussions in previous threads have nominated the Nudgee Rd Shell Service Centre, DFO's near the Airport and Eight Mile Plains near the Gateway/Pacific interchange. Each have merits but yeah, I don't see it happening with the initial rollout sadly. - - - Updated - - -...

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    Have we heard anything on where Tesla are planning to Set up shop in Brisbane? I'd think the logistics of putting together a Service and sales Centre would mean they would have started by now. Assuming that the Brisbane SC will be at the Service Centre like Sydney and squinting at the...

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    Not a major one, this is the last bit linking the Ballina bypass with the already upgraded highway to the north. The more recent Ballina bypass already brings it close to the Castle so it will not be too far off the beaten path. My money is still on the southern side of Ballina, where there are...

    SYD - BNE Supercharger Route

    My guesses on these.... Newcastle: closer to Raymond Terrace to allow service to the New England highway also. Port Macquarie: No idea Coffs Harbour: Park Beach shopping centre carpark, The Highway service centre at the southern end of town maybe even the Big Banana? Ballina: southern end of...

    Supercharger - Gundagai NSW

    My best guess for the Gold Coast Supercharger would be adjacent to BP Connect Chinderah. Maybe it's time for a Stickied thread on the BNE - SYD route buildup?

    Supercharger - Euroa VIC

    The Hydrogen fuel cell fanatics are a tragic bunch, I've run across a few online, one seemed to think EVs ran on Lead acid batteries! They point at the handful of prototypes and fuel stations and say "See! That's the future." meanwhile the rest of us cruise by, having fully charged up the...

    Distance driving - Brisbane to Sydney

    It's also a good way not to get ticketed ;-) It's been a while since I've been over the border, do the speed over distance cameras apply to all vehicles in NSW now?

    Nav strange behaviour

    I've seen similar behaviour from phone GPSs, I think it's usually related to bad location data. While your GPS was in the Valley, as it was not Friday/Saturday night it is unlikely it was drunk :-)

    Superchargers in Australia

    Very good point, There are already destination chargers at the Post office Carpark in Adelaide St. (Haven't seen them in use yet) and others I believe. My reference was more an equivalent to the Chargers at St Leonards. If I were thinking of Highway points in Brisbane for a Supercharger I agree...

    Superchargers in Australia

    From squinting at the prospective Map these are my guesses on likely Superchargers from Sydney to Brisbane. Brisbane - Could be at future store location? Coolangatta/Duranbah - Possibly near Tweed valley Way exit? Kempsey/Urunga - Possibly near Waterfall way? Port Macquarie - Possibly near the...

    Supercharger - Goulburn NSW

    It just occurred to me that in this photo you've all parked next to each other. I'm assuming it's for the photo and you weren't worried about charging speed or you'd be spaced out - one on each pair. Did anyone gather any data regarding charging speeds? Either on the day or at other times? Am...

    New planned superchargers?

    I can understand their prioritising the Sydney - Canberra - Melbourne link, The Hunter SC would be the first on the long road to us in Brisbane. My guess is it's going to be more for long haul travel rather than servicing that region so would be a lower priority until more southern chargers are...

    Supercharger - Goulburn NSW

    Looks like the first pic answers my question about re-spacing of the spots, you can see where they've removed the old lines. - - - Updated - - - Yaay! We have a third red marker on the map! I did note that if you go into the master list of superchargers on the website it isn't listed yet. Is...

    Supercharger - Goulburn NSW

    While I'm disappointed this hasn't been built out near the highway, I'd be ok with diverting through Goulburn, especially given the two highway exits you're not really backtracking to the highway. My only concern would be ICEing by local shoppers given it's in the CBD. This wouldn't be an issue...

    Supercharger - Goulburn NSW

    Judging just from the photos the positioning of the chargers in relation to the existing marked spots seems to vary between one end and the other. Is it possible they might be planning to re-paint the lines, distributing the 8 stalls over 9 spots? This is just speculation from pics so if anyone...

    Supercharger - Goulburn NSW

    I totally agree, I was thinking destination chargers at the Ski Tube base station Carpark are a much more likely proposition. That could work for most resorts to some degree.
