Interesting article with Australian content and date / time frames : Tesla 2016 Roadster - Tesla to build another sportscar | GoAuto (originally posted by user: AnOutsider in the News Forum)
For those Australian and New Zealand TMC lurkers not on Tesla's mailing list, I got this e-mail from Jay McCormack yesterday. There is quite a bit of news about upcoming Australian Get Amped tour. 2013 AUTOMOBILE OF THE YEAR Model S is revolutionary. Not only as the world’s first premium electric sedan, but as a performance driver’s car. Through these characteristics our clear focus has been to deliver a vehicle so remarkable that it sets a new benchmark for the automotive industry. Today we can celebrate this achievement with Model S being chosen as winner of AUTOMOBILE Magazine’s most prestigious award, "Automobile of the Year". Model S impressed a highly discriminating team of editors and writers to beat some of the world’s most critically acclaimed and historically dominant brands. In their words, Model S “blew them all away.” Elon Musk said “Winning AUTOMOBILE Magazine’s ‘Automobile of the Year’ award is an important milestone for Tesla because it underscores our goal to build a great car, not just a great electric car. It is great recognition of what we’ve accomplished as a company, and for our customers, so we’re thrilled to receive this endorsement from one of the industry’s most respected authorities.” GETTING AMPED Over the past months we have been busy delivering test drives throughout North America on our Get Amped Tour. – some of you have even taken the opportunity to experience this with us in Palo Alto. Now we are heading down under. Our Australian Get Amped Tour will begin over the coming months and travel all over Australia. The three stage program will begin with a Technology Component tour of our rEVolutionary drivetrain and rolling chassis, followed by a Production Display vehicle, Australian Pricing and finally a Test Drive vehicle for Reservation holder’s to get behind the wheel of their Model S before finalizing their specification for production. Dates and Venues will be advised by the end of the year and will include events and functions as part of the tour. Additionally, If you have suitable business or venue and would like to host a tour stop, please let us know and we would be more than happy to work with you on this. It could be a day time gathering with business colleagues or a special evening with family & friends, so any thoughts you may have are bound to attract a lot of attention. – after all it is your Model S.

Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie oy oy oy! Wonder if they'll eventually have Superchargers between Adelaide and Perth...
Thanks for posting this, Meloccom. :smile: I'd like to see superchargers along major highways on the East Coast !
One in Taupo would do just fine :smile: That would make Auckland to Wellington a breeze - - - Updated - - - One in Taupo would do just fine :smile: That would make Auckland to Wellington a breeze
Tuesday 13th November, there will be a 1 hour program on the model S on the History channel. - - - Updated - - - Wonder when the promised store will be opening in Westfield Bondi Junction? With the announcement of the Aussie get amped tour starting soon one would expect some sort of announcement soonish.
Hm, looks like Nat Geo UK. Don't think I get that channel w/DTV. Or AU... Supercars: Episode Guide | National Geographic Channel
My apologies- dyslexic or what! Yes it was on Nat Geo Australia and doubtless will be repeated a few times. The show went to 2 weeks before launch date. Was really good! Now, we need our store and get amped tour and especially test drives
Having a supercharger nearer to Sydney on the Hume Highway (between Sydney and Canberra), would be great, in order to give us Canberrans a quick top up before hitting Sydney Traffic.
