No i wish it was along the coast. The drive will be directly west from here to pacific highway then south. It's only a couple of hours there and back. Will take some picks for those planing Christmas trips relying on the Big Banana.

If you get there soon you could be first. If you are there while the cafe is open grab a choc-dipped frozen Banana. They are awesome.

And according to the comments someone has already used it twice this weekend!

Ok Chaps and Ladies, here is the Big Banana Supercharger Sled. For directions to the very isolated location - just follow through the maze of car parks, keep making your way UP as high as you can go. The SC is at the highest point of the property outside a shed that could be used in the next zombie apocalypse movie. Charging from 30%ish topped out at 440kph and reduced to 200 or so as nearing completion.

I've taken a photo from the Mini Golf car park of the Shed, so you will recognize it when you enter that car park. It is a fair walk down the steep road to the cafe's etc, not recommended for young kids or elderly. Maybe drop them off then drive up. On the upside it has got fantastic views. There are no toilets within a close distance - everything is at the bottom of the hill. I haven't seen it at night, so lighting may be in short supply being so isolated. Having said that, it is there and it works!! Yes, I left the beach for a special reconnaissance mission for the group (and an ice cream) - worth the drive for my first sighting/use of a supercharger.

I wonder how many appearances these sleds will make? It is a great manner to put together a 'bridging' SC until the actual infrastructure can be installed. Great scouting by the way Vegas. I will be checking on Heatherbrae on Saturday to update people on completion.

It is mentioned on the Tesla Facebook page. At least the temporary one will be much appreciated.
Now to get a series of Supercharges north of Brisbane all the way to Cairns. Can't wait for my Model X to arrive.

Thanks chuq, I found it just after posting but was chasing my daughter to bed and now you beat me again! ;-) I noticed you had already replied to the post as well.

It would seriously suck to be heading up/down the coast and not know this. I wonder how long it's been down and how long it will be down.

It was working last Thursday when I passed through and when I called Tesla this afternoon they were not aware that it was down so I'd say it'll be down most of tomorrow at a minimum.
Fortunately I had charged up enough at the Port Macquarie Supercharger to keep going and make it on to Knockrow. Not bad for an old P85+.
