Adelaide Model S owners ( or thinking about ordering one)

Hi - I got my red P85D today. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

 

I have an obsidian black S85. (Arrived june) and an 85D on the way (october)
From what I can piece together there are maybe about a dozen in adelaide now, and it's growing.

 

It seems that our friends in SA love tesla's so much that they are not happy with just the one.... Pressure is on you now MHH to order another!

 

I've a P85D on order. Hopefully October

 

And you would think with that much dedication SA would get a supercharger or two....but nothing planned.

 

I'd rather have a couple between here and Melbourne than one in the city, but a CBD site would raise the profile

 

hear hear... I live in Melbourne but have family (in-laws) in Adelaide, so a supercharger at roughly 250km intervals along the Western Highway (e.g. Stawell ? and Bordertown/Keith ?) would make trips to dear old Adelaide possible.

 

How about the great ocean road?

 

It's a lot further to drive. Mind you with flights at less than $150 and a little over an hour, not sure that my tesla will ever see melbourne again.

 

Driving from Melbourne to Adelaide and vice versa is already possible if you have a 3 phase mobile charger (3rd party). There are three phase power outlets available on the route where you can charge up.

 

Good, I'm planning a trip there for the Tour Down Under in January. Where are the charge locations Tim? I'll be buying a cable from you before then obviously

 

Sorry Michael I should have been clearer. I meant that there would be three phase power outlets along the way but depending on where you wanted to stop you'd need to ask around, much like some of our other adventurers!

 

Just recieved a notification that my ordered late April 85D has gone into production, so hopefully we are a 2 tesla family early october!
This one is black on black.

 

I have a brown 85. I have model x reservation but I'm not holding my breath. I would love to see a Tesla meet in Adelaide. Driving the dream.

 

When did you recieve your 85 Ben?

 

The 85 is new to me since late October but it is actually a Feb 2015 delivery which used to belong to an Adelaide owner. I decided that given that I may be waiting 1-2 years for a model x I may as well be waiting in a model S. I think I am probably in a very small group of tesla drivers in a second hand tesla.
