Australia

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...

Get this guy a job writing for an automotive publication! :-) 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance review | CarAdvice

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...

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 got an update on this? Will open up the whole of Gippsland and make the last part of the East Coast readily accessible between Sydney and Melbourne. Any info would be great. An address?

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...

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...

A TOCA member posted on Facebook an image of the 6 stall Supercharger at Majura Park, not yet open, but it doesn't look too far away.

Found another one! 4 superchargers, 76 Wingewarra St, Dubbo. DA18-215 approved by council on 13 June 2018. Yes, June. I can't believe it sat undetected for so long!

Tesla big battery powerless to stop S.A. price gouging By following the rules and making output changes in a time frame where batteries are not helpful, established power generators continue to artificially increase consumer costs. These actors are not going to give up their wealth generators...

This looks interesting! Who is in a position to get photos of this one?

Somewhat tongue in cheek ;)

Any word at all on if the announced Bright Supercharger due in 2018 might happen any time soon? Be great if it were ready for snow season, but have learnt to not get my hopes up.

I found a reference to a Tesla supercharger in minutes of a Tamworth Regional Council meeting!! But wait.. it's not good news :( It seems Tesla proposed to install 4 SC bays in the Hands of Fame Car Park (which appears to be a reasonably large public carpark a couple of blocks away from the...

On a recent trip between Sydney and Brisbane (Australia) a distance of 915 Klms (569 Miles), I wanted to see the maximum time I could rely on autopilot AP1 (Classic front P90D). Where ever possible including through traffic congestion and country towns I used AP1, with my hand resting on the...

Just drove past, in an ICE, the largest SC rollout in Shanghai....it's like 50% of a level in an under ground carpark.....a lot of Tesla's in Pudong Area of Shanghai this year compared to last just 10 months ago.... -ECIT

This is definately worth a look Event Data Recorder

I was lucky enough to watch a blue model S travel up Dudley St in Melbourne last Thursday evening whilst stuck in a train coming into Southern Cross Station.. It seemed to me that the driver was using cruise control (although I might be wrong) as the car cleanly moved and stopped with the flow...

Hi team, i'm keen on looking at options to access the 100kw battery on my model x p100d, would be a great source of power for camping trips etc. Can anyone recommend an auto electrician in NSW that might be able to help me with this? Even better if anyone has already done it and might be able...

Wondering if anyone else has been hit with a fee for over staying at a Supercharger? Good idea to penalise over staying, but wonder if they have a "grace period"?

Hey everybody, Sylvia @wilsilly has just started out on her clockwise Round Australia trip from near Gladstone Qld. This will be the first test of the almost-complete Round Australia Charging Route ! An all female trip with 7 fly-in fly-out changes of road crew ! ! Sylvia will be at St...

I'm a Keen camper and need to upgrade my failing old deep cycle agm batteries. I was looking into equivalent lithium batteries and they're super expensive! It then occurred to me that I'm sitting on the biggest and best lithium battery in my car! Does anyone have any advice / approach /...

I was watching the report today on the news and there was a suggestion that from April, Tesla vehicles would be involved. I found this statement on the Tesla website. Model S Safety Update It suggests that vehicles produced up to 2016 are involved in the recall but as the problem doesn’t appear...

My Model X (delivered January 2017) was involved in a low speed head-on collision in early December. It's about to come back from the Tesla approved repair shop (in early March). There was about $A60,000 in repair cost. With such a major repair I'm concerned to make sure the work has been...
