From Fabio on the TM3 forum... Woops.

As we know the cables are very much the right length and no more (another reason why it will be difficult for Tesla to open up its network)

Looks like the installer got the same feeling you do when you're halfway through building an IKEA cabinet and realise that the bit 12 steps ago that looked like it could go either way around... definitely could not.

I wonder why its described on FindUs as Brisbane West. Toombul is very much north-east. Maybe there is one for Indro as well?

I understand that is the case.

 

[moa999]

Time will tell.
But Tesla historically is pretty poor at updating labels on the maps when site changes occur.

The other three V3 sites are now open, so hopefully Toombul isn't far away

Shopping centres can be a pain, Chargefox had to wait months for the tenants to all agree to an outage at Shell Cove.

So model s and x owners are going to have to drag out the Adaptors when we use these now?

Fence down at Toombul and stalls powered.

Per Nathan (and his S friend) on TM3 FB.

Just read the followup comment, his S friend is without CCS2 adaptor so he couldn't test it!

Hopefully we'll get confirmation shortly.

 

[Grenadine]

I will go test it today unless someone here beats me to it.

 

[moa999]

Already been a few testing based on Plugshare comments.
But no-one has arrived with a low state of charge yet to really test it.

One stupid thing about the placement is that the shopping centre car park gets locked at 10:30pm.

There are 3rd party 350W chargers on the roof that do not get locked at night.

Why would Tesla put a supercharger on such a site?

 

[moa999]

Looks like supercharger now showing on Tesla website maps and in car.

Interestingly the grey dot for Brisbane West/Indooroopilly is still on the website map.

Brisbane South and Brisbane West listed separately (Coming Soon 2022) from Toombul in the list at Tesla Superchargers in Australia | Tesla Australia as well, so it seems clear the information that Toombul replaced Brisbane West was mistaken.

 

[Chuq]

Great news for Brisbane owners! Probably a good thing given Toombul is limited hours.

 

[moa999]

Appears that Toombul might be out for a while.
Bottom level of the shopping centre (which includes the Tesla chargers) was flooded internally.

Suggestions shopping centre might be closed for up to 6 months.

It has been confirmed by Mirvac that Toombul will be permanently closed. All leases have been terminated. Toombul supercharging site is no more…

Oh, how did you hear this?
