    For Sale : Tesla Gen 2 High Power Wall Connector

    Ive swapped out my Gen 2 Wall Connector that came with my Model 3 in Nov 2019 for a Gen 3 version that can charge non-Tesla's. If anyone is interested in a used Gen 2 that is locked to charge only Tesla's - please message me. It worked perfectly - the sparky removing it was a bit too heavy...

    Any one with a Gen 3 Wall Connector had luck with Kia Niro EV charging (or in Eastern Suburbs Melbourne will to let me try theirs?)

    I've had the Gen 2 wall charger working for the last couple of years happily charging my model 3. Now I've finally got rid of the 2nd car (ICE) and replaced it with a Kia Niro EV. I know that the Gen 2 wall connector shipped free with the car is locked to Tesla only (yes its that type code) -...

    Want a Abstract Ocean centre console wrap on the cheap ?

    I had a change of mind on an unused Abstract Ocean Model 3 Centre Console Wrap (Matrix Black). If anyone wants to give their console a wrap treatment at a cheaper price - feel free to bid in, it’d be good to see it go to a good home and get used. $15 starting price and no interest so its a...

    Supercharger - Mornington, Vic

    Drove past at the weekend - if its by red rooster its not looking like a supercharger spot - there are cable conduits coming up through the ground midway through the parking spaces. Maybe just that im not an electrician and this conduit would be normal - but id expect it to be nearer to the...

    Tesla Wall Connector - Only for Tesla's (as the label on the charger states) ?

    Ive had the Model 3 for a few weeks now and just sold my 1st Gen leaf. I have a Type 1 to Type 2 adapter for the 3 so i can charge off the 7 year old Origin / Chargepoint supplied Coulomb CT500 Type 1 wall charger. Ive been thinking of the benefit of swapping to the Tesla Wall connector (other...

    Drive Electric Vehicle of The Year

    If only some of the big petrol chains were that forward thinking .... I can see issues with some of the forecourt designs taking spots for longer charging periods, but there are some locations ripe for it ....maybe a charge fox & BP joint venture / collaboration first ...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Thats the beauty of choice - you don't have to understand, they are my reasons. The LR AWD is already a huge step up from my current Leaf ... I'm not interested in the performance. Im happy with my choice ... and Im sure you will be happy with yours.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I called Tesla today as i had now response on email. Their response ... 1) Nearly - the 0 to 100 time is different , and the rated range at 620km. 2) No cars will be getting it - the message was that its too unreliable and so they won't supply it unless it reliable. Didn't get to #3. So I've...

    Model 3 Charging in Australia

    Any thoughts / experience on the barrel vs lead type of adapters ? EVSE Barrel or EVSE Lead The only difference appears to be the lead option will have the lead and charge plug dragging down the side of the car, where as the barrel will hold the charge plug/handle away from the car.... am i...

    Model 3 Charging in Australia

    Similar question to another thread - Ive got a Chargepoint (Coloumb) CT500 that's been happily charging a Nissan Leaf for 7 years via its J1772 plug. The LEAF is to be replaced with a Model 3 in August. Tesla shop us mentions they include an adaptor to allow J1772 plugs in their cars for free -...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Just checked - UK & Australia pages are the same - except the tow hitch available in the UK. So it seems that there are no white interior RHD at all yet - and likely only two types rolling off the production lines - SR + & Performance. I can understand ramping up slowly - I just thought they'd...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I was after the LR but thinking about Performance as going from a LEAF i wanted the biggest range option. Not worried about white - only towbar was on my list ... so not sure .... Would have been easier if LR & towbar was available from day 1 - i would have been right in there !!

    Aus is fine for me too (I’ve been checking through the day with fingers crossed) - sometimes the cookies for tesla can get stuck on a non-Aus site, it did for me after I was browsing the UK site model 3 - just needed to select country and flip back to Aus.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I took my daughters full size cello hard case down to chadstone (got a few odd looks) - and it fits in the boot of the 3. It gets my vote for that (but Ive got a leaf currently and the cello takes the passenger seat in that so i guess my bar is pretty low for 'more convienient'.

    Consider a short term loan of your Model X in Melbourne Eastern Burbs for few weeks for suitable $'

    Not really ... as a dual full time working with kids social schedules - i wanted to have it on my terms to do 'the usual routine' and not have to rush anywhere. A more relaxed test drive that i was willing to pay for - i don't think thats odd at all.
