Toyota to me just doesn't seem to understand the appeal of near zero maintenance. I'm a petrol head, I love internal combustion, but I don't need valve trains and gaskets and belts going on a daily driver if I can avoid it.

Your journey has been crazy, not long to go now!
Not so sure on NRMA as I once was. Was very disappointed with the number of out of service chargers over Christmas period. Since moving to a commercial model their quality has dipped. Probably the blame is more directed at ChargeFox than NRMA. Your point on not having to ship electricity vs fuel is fantastic, have never thought of it in that way. In regards to charger
yep hybrids will help the transition but as you say the inherent issues with a combustion engine still remain. I think they are taking a big gamble on hydrogen tech, time will tell.
Hydrogen was DoA and was in casket even before it arrived in both incarnations(fuel cell/combustion) and all the parties involved knows it and kept buying time. And even if hydrogen is not boiling and exploding at room temperature it is still inefficient just like any fossil fuel and some can argue that oh we will use existing infrastructure. That is total rubbish. You need much complicated infra to produce, store and distribute hydrogen which will be atleast 100/1000 times expensive than strengthening the EV charging infra across country.
Still some are pursuing it for possible use cases where battery is still not proven, like aviation and long-haul trucking. I think trucking case will also be blown very soon.

i have the uber app all setup and ready to book a ride!Do you get to peel the plastic thing off the screen yourself at delivery or is it already taken off?
I have some screen protectors arriving around the same time as delivery.
Ive found that with phone screen protectors i get a better result if its done straight away before all the pubes get stuck all over the screen

Chargefox is just the network that looks after billing, activation etc (and is owned by the motoring groups - RAA/NRMA/RACQ/RACV/etc) - the actual hardware is the responsibility of the site owner.
(plus it's only the 350kW NRMA chargers on the Chargefox network - their other chargers are on a separate network)
If NRMA installs a DC or AC charger, then it's up to NRMA to maintain it.
If Woolworths installs a charger (as they have done at several sites, like North Parramatta or Leppington in NSW), it's up to Woolworths to maintain it. Being on the Chargefox network means Woolworths doesn't have to worry about things like billing, providing live data and showing in Google Maps etc - but the responsibility remains with the site owner to maintain and repair any hardware issues.
I still have the original factory screen film on 7 months later . I use it as the screen protector.
Might depend on the delivery centre, but here in Canberra the protectors were still on the screen and internal mirrors for our Model Y last week.
