Anyone been in recently?
Just curious what they have on display. In Brisbane for a couple of days and on the wait list for a model 3. Trying to decide whether to go out to the valley for a look, or pass and hit Tesla HQ/showrooms to check out the 3 while I'm in LA in Feb. Not interested in buying an S or X as they are out of my price bracket so not sure what I would gain from a visit to the valley.

They would only have a Model X and S on display. No Model 3 in Oz yet, you have a better chance spotting one in NZ as they are undergoing winter testing. Spotted in Australia and New Zealand

I think a big issue with the Brisbane Service Centre is going to be ICE cars parking in the upper car park area. I was there yesterday and both chargers had ICE cars parked in the spot and they were there for over an hour. One was a big guy with tatts and I was not about to ask him to move I value my life.
Was the same on Friday when I visited, all the upstairs parking slots filled with ICEs, I didn't check downstairs. Might not be a problem (until Teslas get far more common) if the downstairs ones are free during working/shopping hours and the upstairs ones free up when the shops/carparking closes.
Has anyone considered using witches hats to mark it off. Most reasonable people respect that sort of marker and the Tesla driver puts it back when done. The big guy with the tattoos was probably quite amenable to pleading from a poor driver who needed to fill up

With the setup they have there, I'm glad I don't *need* to charge in Brisbane; although, I did plug in for a bit just for amusement.

Yes, but they both have more Superchargers and less/no ICEing (just blocking by showroom cars, which at least can be moved).
Time to name and shame!
Went to top up my Red Boy today and discovered a tradie vehicle parked in a designated Tesla charging spot. I had to wait for a Model S to vacate so I could park where you see me. Another Model S just happened to turn up(bottom left of photo) for a top up, but to no avail, thanks to that tradie!
How annoying and inconsiderate!

Unfortunately a lot of tradies aren't too bright. I would suggest carrying a valve unscrewer.
