G'day, I have a problem with 3 phase Tesla connectors wired as single phase. Specifically those at RACV Noosa; I get 16 AMP but I notice Rod Peachey P100D gets 32 AMP. My Tesla is a '14 model S with a single charger. Anyone else have this problem?

Mercury NZ picks Tesla for ground-breaking battery trial Mercury NZ has selected Tesla as the provider for a scalable national grid-connected battery trial after a tender process launched last September.

This article I consider makes some valid points about the eventual need to re-jig public policy and government regulation to figure out new ways to pay for our road infrastructure, fair enough. But the title of the article and the URL wording is unfair and to me is deliberately inflammatory...

I have reserved a model 3 here's my thoughts lately I am expecting delays on getting a 3 right drive , there eta of end of this year seems a bit far fetched. I have been looking at the price of used model s and they can be had at about $100k . Being it will be about $60000 - $70000k landed for a...

Going to a nephews' wedding in Hobart on the 25th so I thought it would be a good excuse for our first real road trip. We will be driving to Melbourne from Potts Point on Saturday the 20th leaving early but how early? Google maps quotes a door to door trip time of 9 hours so I am predicting 12...

About to depart Sydney for a road trip in my Model S. Here goes....

I live in New Zealand and just took delivery of my model S about a month ago. I am having trouble understanding how to setup Homelink and Tesla here say that Homelink is not supported in Australia or New Zealand and so they know nothing about it and cannot help me. I have configured the software...

I found this report (see link below) that Elon will fund 50 new Tesla regional destination chargers for South Australia. I wonder where you would suggest we put them and why. I have listed 28 towns which allows for 1-2 destination chargers at each. It would make sense to add a generic...

Surfing my #1 app like usual and saw photos of Superchargers in Palmerston North in The Plaza Shopping Centre. Photos:

Ive read the threads on spares but I’m a little confused with frunk sizes etc. what’s the current best bet for a spare for a current Model S (single motor)? I’m guessing nothing will fit in the current size frunk? What’s the best bet to get something that will clear the front brakes and where...

Folks, just took delivery of my MX 75D and new to the forum Considering selling my Silver 22" Turbine OEM wheels for 20" swap + Cash. Wheels have done only 2000kms. Have Eagle F1 tyres on them. One rear rim has some scrape marks on the edge thanks to a curb. PM me if interested. Cheers Dave

Just got this going with my X. Thought I would share from US forum for people who didn’t know. Everything you can do on the Tesla app you can do with voice command (except summon). Video here Instructions here Integration with Google Home / Google Assistant - Now available for general use

Hey all, Ordered my Model S a few days ago (so excited!) but I'm keen to get an indoor cover for it for when it arrives (early March, so a while away). It'll unfortunately be sharing a garage with a cat, so I need to protect the paint from claws and paw prints. Can't seem to find an option...

Of course if anyone wants to cross Australia quickly and safely the best option is a commercial aircraft, but then then again there are some who claim electric cars are no good for Australia unless they can cross the Nullarbor in 3 days during summer with the aircon working hard, the fact is 80%...

Hi there, I'm producing a short film for Tropfest and we're looking for someone who own or has access to a Model S or Model X for a half day shoot in Melbourne. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please get in touch via DM or cjcwelsh at gmail. We're aiming to shoot on either the...

ok, so I am due for renewal on my 3 year old car. What quotes have folks been getting lately? Sig S 85. Best comprehensive that I have seen so far with $1450 excess has been $2394 with AAMI. Tesla insurance this year is fractionally cheaper but without the same benefits.

0-60mph in 1.9 secs! (faster than the Superman coaster ride in Movieworld) Over 1000 kms per charge! (Brisbane to Sydney without having to supercharge with some juice to spare) Over 400 kph top speed! (no way the cops can catch you) I want one! I'm going to have to sell a kidney (I have a...

Just thinking out louad while I wait for a model 3. I have just sold a 1933 ford hot rod to help finance my 3 purchase saving over the next year to hopefully have most of it in cash. So I have a holden volt and will look at selling next year , the question is the clipper creek 3.8kw J1772...

I had the misfortune of needing to visit Ikea on a busy Saturday. Whilst parked someone (presumably a 4WD) dented the rear right panel on my P85D. The damage was an indentation about the size of my hand and wasn't something I was too concerned about (we are insured with Tesla). Well - imagine...

Hello, We recently purchased a Model X and are having some trouble installing carseats with the way the tether strap sits due to the weird seat shape in the Model X. We installed some Infa Secure Evolves in the back row and just put the tether to the side of the headrest, but checked this was...

and bugger me, 30 minutes later, the phone tells me a new download is available. 2017.42 a88c8d5 installed in 30 minutes or so. I don’t know if the display-reset trick really works, but there has been a temporal association for me several times! So, off to drive for a bit and see what all the...

All, Recently I had to do a trip to the north of Auckland/NZ, and decided to measure how accurate range values are on a 2017 MX 75D. TLDR: its impressive. Details I charged to 90% (301km). The trip was about 110 kms in each direction. 70% was on motorway or highway (80-100km/h limit, dual or...

NRMA to build EV fast charging network | The NRMA $10 million for 40 chargers (~$250K each) seems like a lot, any idea what WA, QLD or SA works out as? I don’t think Tesla superchargers cost this much but they put more chargers per site which must be cheaper. Edit: related report...

120 Great North Road No superchargers evident. Not the address mentioned a while back in the press, so this may be temporary?

Anyone here used Up2Scratch mob to fix minor scratches in the paintwork?

Hi Everyone, I am reaching out to see if there are any Tesla Model Xs available for hire in the NSW region? My Fiance and I moved from Australia to the Silicon Valley to work for Tesla earlier last year, and we are planning to have a wedding back home in Australia at the Hunter Valley next...

Yesterday AEVA and the Tesla owners club of Western Australia made the 230km journey south from Perth to Greenbushes for a guided tour of the world's largest Lithium mine, having a newly opened Supercharger 2/3s of the way down made the 460km round trip a breeze and also eased the congestion on...

Where can someone buy Tesla shares cheaply in Australia? Thinking about investing in a few.

I claim the furthermost trip North in Qld having ventured to Cooktown. Done with a single charger. Some pics later

Hi guys, Looking at upgrading to a P100D as a replacement to my 2015 P85DL. Car has around 60000km, autopilot, ludicrous upgrade, upgraded sound. Any idea on the market value as the only similar cars on carsales have much lower km. Thanks in advance

So the supercharger network is up and more than 30 cars chose a slot in the schedule. Time for the final leg: We are holding a group drive to Jamestown from Burra this afternoon. If you're in Clare, Burra is 40km north west and same distance from the BB. Meet outside the Burra Motel on...

Hello, When I first got my S90, about a year ago, I noticed that it would charge to about 403 km regularly (typical range value). Now most of the time it gets to 396/397. I have a spreadsheet of every charge. Is this something I should be concerned about? Or is this perfectly normal? Possibly...

All, After having recently decided to upgrade from our MS70 to a MX75D, I am now looking for a suitable bike carrier for 4 bikes (and yes, I have already confirm that the tongue weight allowance of the tow bar is sufficient for the weight of the bikes I am planning to carry). Would you have...

For those of us who try to keep abreast of things political around the world: Can someone knowledgeable chime in about what the various outcomes of government formation might mean for Tesla's near-term fortunes in NZ? If not so complicated as the recent Norwegian elections were, the Kiwi...

Anyone know a good place to stay with destination chargers in the Barossa Valley? Thanks ECIT

Electric vehicle station scheme “The government doesn’t believe in putting in charging stations unless there are electric vehicles so someone has got to make a stance.” Well done for taking a stance AEVA Tasmania.

As per the title, this feature now seems available in Australia. It has been for some time in the US. I haven't checked my "My Tesla" page for a while so sorry if people are already aware of this.

not sure if this is the correct place, but this is Australia, not the USA, so I have chosen not to use the sale thread in the main forum. $650.00 . Will need respraying and the two centre sensor brackets plus the T logo. Available in Sydney. Does fit in the back of a model S, just. May be...

While Tesla owners are following the progress of the Melbourne to Adelaide Supercharger link for the Hornsdale Big Battery event, some Adelaide Tesla owners may also be thinking about the possibility of SC to the MCG for the AFL grand final. Both Sydney and Adelaide are still in with a chance...

I thought Paul Keating said we were becoming "good Asians", but it would appear that we're still an appendage of Europe in the Tesla world. :oops:

No later than the Model S battery needs replacing - the Model X comes up with Drive Unit Needs Service (i.e. replacing). It is only three months old and driven by the wife who treats it like a baby. Tesla have ordered a replacement. Having a bad week :( In the big scheme of things - it is...

Here's another one!
