    I've heard rumours that this has been delayed. Anyone know what might be happening with it?

    if you have a few hours the charger at the Clarence in town is free and on 3phase so charges my Model S at 10-12KWH and means free parking close to town

    With the slowness of the superchargers coming online, and the new chargenet "hyperchargers" seemingly offering similar speed, I wonder if the supercharger network is going to be superseded.

    If Tesla were to bring the V3 Superchargers to NZ for the new locations then a Tesla would be able to charge faster on them than the Hyperchargers. I haven't seen why, but on third party chargers we're limited to a max of 200kW however Model 3 and new Raven S & X cars can get 250kW on a V3 Supercharger.

    However, since Tesla NZ/AU seems to have no intention of bringing V3 to NZ (all planned Superchargers, such as this Tauranga site are planned to be V2) it would be nice if they could remove that third party limitation.

    Well that's disappointing news. if that is the case I wonder if we are going ending up with old supercharges that are being replaced with V3 from other electrically compatible countries, or old stock

    With today's update, Tauranga now has a Q3 2021 estimation date
