Australia

I'm up for an RVG and Tesla are saying that my (roadworthy with a few mm to spare) tyres must be replaced at my cost, and have quoted 150% retail to do it after returning the car. Has anyone had any dealings with the " damage and excessive wear and use based on Tesla’s standards for normal use"...

Australia... Sigh. :mad:

As mentioned in TOCA's April member update: Obviously Devonport was selected because it is the gateway into the state for Tesla owners bringing their car across on the ferry... not because of it's thriving Tesla population :) Precise location isn't public yet, but I couldn't go past the...

Many thanks to @Chenkers who found this one - shared originally in this thread: Superchargers in Australia Colac Plaza 144-158 Bromfield St Colac Vic 3250

https://www.bmcc.nsw.gov.au/media-centre/electric-vehicle-charging-stations-for-blaxland I still find it weird that this this location has obviously been planned for a while but it didn't make it into Tesla's 2021 map! This location has now been added to supercharge.info.

As a Q1 2021 opening, though worth adding a Brisbane (Indooroopilly) thread as the site should be set, and possibly beginning to start construction. Pin is in the middle of the Audi dealership which is likely. The Westfield just to the south would be a more likely site. Maybe a local could do...

As a Q1 2021 opening, though worth adding a Geelong thread as the site should be set, and possibly beginning to start construction. Pin on the Tesla site is shown to the SE close to the M1 in Highton, possibly near the Queen's Park Golf course. Spots close to that that might make sense would...

In response to a recent question on Quora about the inconvenience of charging on a roadtrip, I posted this response. As it seemed to elicit a favourable response I thought I would share it here, particularly as prior to my trip TMC members provided some very supportive and reassuring advice...

We are only just behind the Gold Coast, but the lease has been signed for an old Renault site on Scarborough Beach Road, Osborne Park. Google Maps

Hi guys After a few near misses with skippies late at night recently I'm considering a light bar for the model 3 for under the front bumper lip. The high beam I think is great for distance, but I'm looking for something to illuminate the roadsides - and the fog lights are helpful, but not...

Tesla just got the keys to their new Gold Coast sales and service centre located at Southport on the Gold Coast. It is the former Gold Coast BMW/Mini site. Superchargers are expected but it’s not confirmed if they will be for public use. (Probably will be). The location is expected to be...

It looks like Western Australia's Eaton Supercharger is going to lose its coveted most isolated Supercharger in the world honor when Tesla installs a supercharger station at Williams Woolshed early next year.

New store? On the Tesla website and recent post on Facebook suggesting the same.

Victorian Government is funding 15 charging stations in NW Victoria, as per this press release: New Electric Vehicle Charge Stations For North West Victoria | Premier of Victoria It's a bit light on details. But I've done the homework for you! No mention of AC or DC charging stations...

Looks like we have driven (and still drive) more during the pandemic compared to other regions.. Check Tesla's impressive chart of pandemic's impact on Supercharger use - Electrek interesting article.

No location confirmed yet, but @jamesgo appeared to have a bit of an insight, going by his comment from the Camberwell thread: Notably on Tesla's map, the marker is not over the generic place name, but the nearby highway intersection. Perhaps the Karingal Hub would be a good place to start...

Thanks to Mark G on the TOCA Facebook group! At Camberwell Place Shopping Centre. Looks like 5 stalls, bases only at the moment. Will post pics when I get the OK. Note - this is yet another site that Tesla would have known was going ahead before the end of last year, yet wasn't added to the...

Previously we ran the super successful ‘The Silent Highway’ - EV Rally, today we announced the next journey, the Brisbane to Byron - EV Rally! If you’re interested in attending, please visit the link below and mark yourself as coming along! The last one garnered plenty of positive feedback and...

Does anyone know who can do xpel stealth on model 3 in melbourne? I called house of tint and they quote circa $8500 for a fully body wrap which seems high; Affinesse doesnt do xpel and offers someother brand for $5900 with ceramic coating; VIP car detailing Moorabbin didn't know about stealth...

The rumour has been floating around FB the last few days... here it is from another source (twitter) with some additional details (apparently 6 stall). Tesla in the Gong on Twitter Apparently @TeslaGong has not seen the FB rumours so that's two different sources that appear to line up...

I noticed in a YouTube video, 2 x usb-c ports on the overhead dome light module. I'm curious to know if this is standard across all model 3s? or is it specific to america or other regions? do you have it in your car in aus? @7:52

Just picked her back up after getting the full XPEL treatment at Australian Detail Services, look how damn glossy she is - wicked! Can’t recommend Ryan & ADS enough, astounding finish.

For many years, Australia, as well as many other nations and states, have been struggling to fight fires with mobile ground assets. Most of the vehicles used are converted commercial trucks and pickups, that have limited off-road, or in particular poor sand driving ability in the bush. They also...

Hi all. Can someone please explain to me in plain English, why cant we have white interior on SR+ model, if the same option already exists on the performance model? I'm not asking for something that it does not exists in Australia. And it's also available almost elsewhere in the world. Is it...

Tesla’s giant battery installation in Australia is about to get a lot bigger.The Powerpack farm is already the world’s largest lithium-ion battery, but the plan is to grow it by 50%. Renewable energy company Neoen said in a press release that the Hornsdale Power Reserve will receive a 50 MW/64.5...

Does anyone have any more info on when this is coming online? Tesla's site just says "2019" and that is apparently delayed from "2018".

Hey guys! Figured there's a lot of potential owners stalking the forums, so I thought I'd post my Model S that's up for sale since I've ordered a Model 3! Car is exceptionally looked after and anyone that knows me could confirm this. Comes with heaps of extras; PPF, Ceramic Coating, CHAdeMO...

Anyone planning on taking their Model 3 camping? I plan to take my little ones out for over night trips. I am in the process of ordering all the things I need to pull this off before the car arrives. The place where I am stuck is the mattress which is places across the boot floor and the folded...

Thanks to matthew on slack for the heads up here! Tesla approved to install 'superchargers' at golf club

Spotted on the TOCA members group on Facebook! As suggested this is most likely the Singleton/Muswellbrook location. I've heard previous speculation on this site, suggesting that it would be a 4 stall site.

Tesla eyes off new site for Northern Rivers expansion (paywalled, article below) An unexpected location! Not that far south from the Knockrow location (58 km), but it might be more preferable for some since it is on the highway. It's 230 km south of Brisbane. I'm not sure if any Tesla...

I go through Bendigo reasonably frequently (thank you Kennington Village) and decided to check the Tesla Supercharger map.... Lo and behold I see: Bendigo | Tesla Australia "Target Opening in 2019". The pin seems to be generically in the centre of town. Haven't seen this on the map before -...

Australian consumer law is quite strong and legally enforcible before any manufacturer warranty even needs to be opened. Particularly it says that all defects that present within a reasonable timeframe from purchase must be rectified within a reasonable timeframe from when they are presented to...

Victoria (Australia) Police have today revealed their Tesla Model X. What's very interesting about this is that they have custom options programmed into the MCU like control of their lights, sirens, radar, message bar (see video in link below). The officer also says that they have the ability to...

Thanks to Jared Hirst on the TOCA FB group for this one! Tuggerah Super Centre, just off the Pacific Highway. Notably - not CCS2 :-/ I've always said something was needed on the Central Coast; the Heatherbrae charger is the other side of Newcastle so doesn't help those on...

(This post primarily refers to non-Tesla charging infrastructure but I thought it may be of interest to many here.) Quick intro: Plugshare is the de facto reference from charging infrastructure in Australia, and serves its purpose well. I recently tried using ABetterRoutePlanner (ABRP) and...

Yesterday I read this article about Mirvac and their support of EV chargers, and I found this quote: I asked a few people if they could check the car park for evidence but couldn't find anything. I asked MPC via Facebook chat and they responded: "We are in the process of acquiring...

When my 2015 P90DL MS was coming to the end of its 4 year factory warranty I naturally wanted to extend the full factory warranty for as long as possible. At the time there were 2 products available. InsureMyTesla/Marsh Advantage Extra 2 years (total 6 years) up to 120,000km: Total Premium...

I am in the USA and today with several signons to my Tesla account it shows as Tesla Australia instead of Tesla USA!!! Anyone else experience this? Also if I look at configuring cars it shows KM not miles and Australia configurations. Another bizarre Tesla anomaly Anyone else having this happen?.

It looks like Perth, Adelaide and Canberra are next off the line for service centres!

My father found this funny commentary by an Aussie, with little kids, driving them in a Model X. ttps://www.cnet.com/news/driving-a-tesla-model-x-in-the-end-times/

10 Supercharger bays under construction in the valet area of Pacific Fair shopping centre on the Gold Coast. Targeted to open by Christmas.

Tesla CCS to spread around the world Tesla Model 3 in Europe will get a CCS Combo 2 inlet for DC fast charging standard and AC charging (single- or three-phase), but the change to CCS2 (the European version) will be conducted elsewhere around the world (outside North America and maybe a few CCS...

Apparently there is a 6 bay Supercharger opening soon in a new section of Sunshine Plaza on the Sunshine Coast.

As per: Jump-Start To Victoria’s Electric Vehicle Revolution Victoria chips in to install ultra-rapid EV chargers – “Australia’s fastest” Australia is going to get its first two 350kW charging stations in Victoria, thanks to the Vic Government and JetCharge! At the moment it sounds like 2x...

While the Tesla Model 3 is not yet selling overseas, the automaker is getting prepped. The huge popularity of the Tesla Model 3 has seemingly taken the attention off other Tesla efforts and especially the company’s global impact. Though the Silicon Valley automaker has been up against production...
