It is interesting to see daily updates of new chargers around the world on Teslarati but not much happening outside Eastern Australia. I think it is time for Tesla to expand westwards in Australia. The next natural step would be a Melbourne-Adelaide route. While this is already possible with destination chargers and the like, it is a currently a 2-3 day trip with a somewhat circuitous route. Looking at optimal spacing of the chargers of 1-200 km and the most direct route, the logical locations would be Ballarat, Horsham, Bordertown, Tailem Bend and Adelaide. This would allow Adelaide Melbourne commute in a day and also open access to the Melbourne ski-fields from Adelaide.
Another logical extension would then be Kingston on Kangaroo Island and perhaps a destination charger at the 6 star Southern Ocean lodge on KI. Kangaroo Island has already declared itself an electric vehicle friendly council so should be supportive. With the upcoming arrival of the Model X, Kangaroo Island would be a perfect place to explore.
