    If they were installing a new Supercharger in a new town, where would they charge it?

    Supercharger - Tuggerah, NSW

    You have to go around the building to get on to the roof. Tesla Tom on his Ludicrous Feed YouTube channel does "how to get to the chargers" videos around Sydney. This is Tuggerah one:

    My Model X is called Tardis, because it's blue and feels bigger in the inside...

    It happened to my wife yesterday when she tried to change lanes when using plain cruise control in our Model X.

    Anyone bought a "raven" Model S in Australia?

    IIRC it takes about 7-8 weeks from construction to delivery on the East Coast of Australia. The longest part is your car's 5 week boat ride across the Pacific and it will be the longest 5 weeks of your life.

    Insurance. It is that time of the year again.

    Done. Thanks.

    Insurance. It is that time of the year again.

    I noticed the no-carport or driveway requirement when filling in the quote. I thought it might have been a feature of my location (near Olympic Park in Sydney), so I'm somewhat pleased to learn that it's a universal requirement. Alas my Model X lives on our driveway, so I doubt I'll be covered...

    Insurance. It is that time of the year again.

    Today I received my renewal notice from Marsh/InsureMyTesla and with the withdrawal of QBE they are offering insurance through Dawes (who are backed by Allianz). I'm organising a quote, but I was wondering if anyone had had any dealings with them before?

    Supercharger - Heatherbrae NSW

    I was wondering if the servo next to the supercharger is up and running? I'll be travelling that way over Christmas and I was wondering what food options are available there.

    Driving to Bathurst

    Those numbers seem a incredible. What happens if you set the reference consumption to your typical highway use? I did a day drive from near Olympic Park in Sydney to Bathurst about a month ago in my Model X 100D. IIRC I left with 95% charge, arrived with ~46%, supercharged to 95% again and...

    Supercharger - Bathurst NSW

    I used this supercharger today on a day trip to Bathurst. It charged the car without problems and the stall availability appeared on the nav screen. I don't think that this thread needs to be sticky any more.

    Service and Delivery Centre - Alexandria NSW

    I was at this site today and while there are building works going on in Unit 1 and the surrounding business park, there was nothing to indicate that the work's being done for Tesla (so no signs, superchargers, etc).

    Model S delivery time

    My Model X took about 5 weeks, plus 3-5 days preparation time once the car made it to Australia. Those 5 weeks go by very slowly. Once you car is actually on the ship your order page will be updated with your expected collection date. I was very happy to receive my Model X four days earlier...
