Supercharger - Tenterfield, NSW

Not reporting as available to charge a non-tesla. Yet.

They could technically say “we’re just testing it with Teslas only for a while, it will be open to all EVs before the 24(?) month grant timeframe.”

(Or whatever number of months the timeframe was)

Signage also says 'Tesla Charging'. Though it does not say Tesla vehicle charging. So could be interpreted as charging provided by the company Tesla. (Try explaining that to someone not familiar with the all the ins and outs). I agree they have 24 months from October to meet their requirements, but the funding payments are staged and dependant on certain milestones. Will see if I can find out if anything is payable until it is open access.

In a similar vein, something I saw shared recently - at an existing site elsewhere in the country (can't remember which one) - the pavement marking "Tesla charging" had the "Tesla" painted over. Getting prepared for opening up maybe...

Assuming the first round funding agreement is the same as the 2nd.

Tesla got some money on signing of the agreement, but doesn't get any more until 30% of the sites are open (and presumably meeting the full criteria). So they've probably got at least six months of other openings before they get near that point.

I'm also somewhat surprised to see the Blue Disability marking on the ground here. That would normally be suggesting that drivers without a disability pass could be fined for using that spot.
Again the funding agreement only required that some bays meet Accessibility standards, nothing about exclusive reservation.

Found the Round 1 guidelines on my phone.. similar clauses to Round 2..

So will be interesting to see what signage goes up.

So I guess there's no advantage to Tesla in opening any of them up until 10 are built and ready to open to the general public all at once?

Opened over a month ago. Some photos on the first page of this thread and on Plugshare.

When I had a quick scan on Plugshare I saw Coles CCS2 rather than Tesla so didn’t click on the link, I forgot the saying ‘Always Browse Comments”.
