Guess what has just showed up on Tesla's website!

Short and sweet . Anyone know how many roadsters were sold in Australia?

Thanks to @FlyingKiwi for the tip off! From: Not enough Superchargers A bit of searching, I found: Steve Greenwood Further comments in that link suggest it will be a 4-stall site. Address: 1 Kaimanawa St Taupo 3330 Recent Street View of that location: Google Maps supercharge.info has...

I'll be doing a tour of Europe in a Model X in a few weeks, and as I plan the trip it occurs to me that we are really being under-supported in Australia when it comes to Superchargers. I acknowledge that Australia is remote, but we buy a lot of Teslas. I see them every day driving around...

Adelaide is now on the Tesla supercharger map, not sure if this is a placeholder or the actual location? 34°55'39.8"S 138°35'45.4"E Find Us | Tesla Australia Amazing what happens when the CEO is coming to town 3 times in one year! ;) TAS could be the only state without a supercharger by the...

Had a message pop up "Battery needs service. Avoid hard acceleration" on my P85DL (exactly 2 years old). Called Tesla who did some remote investigation and concluded the HV battery needed replacing. In the meantime Tesla instructed me to put the car in Insane (vs Ludicrous) mode and try not to...

How long has an inventory listing been up for Tesla Oz? Just noticed it for inventory new and used! New Inventory | Tesla Australia Some good buys

Tesla are holding an event to mark the planned installation of the 100 megawatt battery at Hornsdale, near Jamestown in South Australia and it looks like they are inviting Tesla owners. The event is around 240 km drive north of Adelaide. There are 4 destination chargers in Clare (2 at Motel, 2...

I'm going to be staying in Lorne for 4 days in September. Looks like we'll be staying at the Cumberland which has 2 destination chargers. Any day trip tips for the great ocean road? How far can I venture to have enough juice for a return trip in an MX 90D? Google maps tells me that the Lorne...

How is autonomous driving going to handle being a good bloke on the road (courteous driving)? For example I imagine that when full blown autonomous driving comes into effect the cars will stop before keep clear markings on the road if there is traffic banked up on the other side of it. However...

Apparently the standard diamond chain snow chains are not compatible with the Model X as they wrap around the back of the tyre and get caught in the suspension. According to a snow chains fitter I spoke to the Tesla branded snow chains are illegal in Victoria as they are not diamond chains and...

If my fantastic friend hadn't driven past, then called me, delaying my progress into the carwash, it's possible my car could have been written off, completely totalled with me inside, maybe not, thankfully not.

Good Evening Everyone, My son is currently a year 12 student on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland (Caloundra Area) and he is a huge fan of electric cars (in particular Tesla - points them out every time he sees one)! He has his graduation evening on Wed the 15th of November at Coubold Park...

ABC South West An excellent one minute video put together by ABC South West, please share.

Perhaps I missed this discussion last year, but Tesla Insurance gives you the first year FREE on a new Tesla. So, bargains abound. For my new P100D floor model, $50K reduction in pricing from two weeks ago, $40K reduction as a floor model (2.8Km), referral bonus (-$1450) and free first year...

Planing to get out to Sydney olympic park to ser the tiny house display. Oct 27-29. Has a powerwall 2 and solar set up, being towed behind a MX. Cant tell from the pics if it has Tesla glass roof tiles or not? Tesla Tiny House: Sydney Home Show

Whilst I have every faith that Tesla will not abandon their customers who were early adopters and bought HW2 on the promises that were made at the time (like me for example); it's stories like this that scare the absolute bejeezus out of me: Tesla has been working on a backup plan in case its...

Does anyone know if this destination charger is accessible after hours? I'll be coming back from Dubbo on Wednesday night. It would be handy to have this option available. Will be stretching my 75D battery...

A Tesla Model S 100D just drove 670 miles (1,078km) on a single charge Okay so they drove at 37kmh but that's beside the point, technically a 100D can travel over 1000kms on a charge!

I am going to start saving a deposit for a model 3. I have not reserved and am wondering if I should now or just wait? If delivers are going to be early 2019 and they say they can make 20000 cars a month will there be a long wait for a vehicle? Maybe if I reserve I could see the vehicle late...

Have been reading the forum for awhile , and decided to sign up and post. I love Tesla but could not afford a model s. I am a workshop controller for a Holden dealer , so I bought a Holden volt. Love my volt daily driving and I never need to use the petrol engine. Sad that we did not sell many...

A new adventure for Tessie ! It was very exciting to see @Rich Bentley 's Tesla Owners invite to Alice Springs for the festival season ... Even better, Richard B has been working like a demon organising charging sites between Adelaide and Alice, All I have needed to do is wrap up the...

Couldnt charge at Bell st 25kW FUJI chardemo but could at Delta electronics 50kW near Monash uni. What gives?

Hi Everyone, I'm from Singapore, ordered a Model 3 and just eagerly waiting for Tesla to officially arrive in Singapore. I am travelling to Sydney and would love to rent a Tesla at a reasonable price. It'll make a great memory for my wife and 2 twin infant boys. We will need child seats too...

Tesla FAQs confirm early 2019 for the right hand drive model 3’s. This is very disappointing. I was expecting Sept 2018 which is still 2 and a half years but come on. March 31 2016 to March 2019?! When cars are being delivered everywhere else in the world from July 2017! They’re talking about...

So they are building a stack of third party chargers across Qld... (see link below). But as I understand it, our maps only show Tesla Superchargers or Tesla Destination Chargers. Shouldn't there be a third option that directs us to Third Party Fast Chargers? Electric car charging stations to...

My very talented friends have produced a fascinating video featuring my Model S. Have a look at . The video is only 1 min 21 secs long but it is packed full of incredible shots and dramatic scenery. The sound effects are stunning but, to hear these properly, you need to be viewing on your...

<New Zealanders only> Just wanna know where you take deliveries, get serviced and have your cars kept for the latest Drive To Believe promotion? Thanks.

Got an update this morning. Just bug fixes and improvements. Is this a new naming convention for updates?

So is 'Matt' the star of the video on this forum?

It appears my TOCA membership has already expired. Can anyone think of a reason to renew this? All interactions with other Tesla owners are done on TMC (here), Tesla Australia (Slack) and Tesla Queensland (WhatsApp). I think, unless someone has a good reason for me to cough up more dollars...

Hi guys I know there's a sales section but it's all US stuff. I'm wanting to buy a 2nd HPWC wall charger if anyone has one they don't need. Sydney area preferably, but I'm happy to do a road trip to pick up.

i thought this snippet from Elon on twitter would be interesting - suggesting that the Model 3 would be approx NZ$50k: Elon Musk on Twitter I did a bit of maths... it was way better than what I was expecting. I thought $50-60k. NZ has a 15% GST where we have 10%. If Elon's price accounts...

Does anyone know what happened to the 3 RC which was shipped to New Zealand? Has it been seen there? Is it still there?

Whilst leaving my Tes in the country for three weeks a rat got into the front compartment and exercised its teeth on the master cylinder and possibly a brake line. I got the Low Brake Fluid warning. I hope it enjoyed the flavour of brake fuid. Question- do I have to go to Tesla for repairs or...

It's a little sad that this is my first thread I've opened. But for the life of me I cannot find my bloody key! I have torn this car upside down, it's somewhere on board but I cannot find it. I've had to leave it basically active on three occasions where somebody could've just walked in and...

Wendy and I made our first road trip this weekend Port Stephens to Brisbane and back. I have been trying to test out auto-lane change for a few days on local highways, its simply never worked. Then much to my amusement in one spot in NSW and then on the freeway between the NSW/QLD border to...

Call me mad, but I've spent part of my Saturday night doing a Cost Benefit Analysis for EVs in Australia All statistics are for 12 months ending 30/06/2016 and come from this report: 9208.0 - Survey of Motor Vehicle Use, Australia, 12 months ended 30 June 2016 I was inspired by a chat I was...

Well it looks like the 100 MW battery is really going to happen in South Australia. Elon Musk to build world's largest battery in Australia

Hi Everyone :) Some of you here may already know me from the Knockrow Castle Meetup earlier this year taking some video footage and photos, it has been a couple of months now since then and was wondering if there are any more new Tesla owners around my area? I am based in Pottsville and have...

i have been using a Whispbar rack and Thule bike carrier for the 2.5 years I have owned the car. Unfortunately the rack whistles even when the Thule is removed and it does not look good. I decided to try something different and bought the Seasucker. They have a distributor in Australia. This...

Could a Bendigo resident pl check it

Has anyone else got 17.24.30 and having problems using the Tesla Spotify account? I got my update last night and the first thing I noticed is that it is asking me to login to my own Spotify account. Hitting the "use Tesla account" button fails and it drops back to the Spotify login screen. I...

". Recently I tried to charge with my CHAdeMo adapter in Coburg, but got a VE122 error on the charger which points to a vehicle problem. I can supercharge OK and charge from AC OK, so thought it may just be the charger was faulty. I then tried to use the CHAdeMo at Swinburne and got the same...
