Supercharger - Wendouree (Ballarat) VIC

[srwx]

The Tesla website URL for this supercharger has changed: /ballarat now 404's and it's been replaced with: /ballaratsupercharger (at least briefly until the annoying bug that redirects again to add in /en_AU/ causes the usual mayhem )

The BSC is still a novelty for the citizens of Wendourie. Did a long trip Lancefield-Ballarat-Landsborough-Stawell (45degC at 4PM) & return to Melb. On both charging occasions I was asked about the car & the charging arrangements.

We had a queue of people soon as we plugged in.

The usual standard questions & wanting to take a look inside.

And now each bay has a Tesla logo on the asphalt (fairly recent addition). I also normally end up chatting to someone everytime I charge

Had the standard questions this afternoon, as well ! Although I didn't notice whilst there, the pic above would suggest they've re-painted the parking lines - big difference !

I won't join the convoy but I'll meet people there.

I won't join the convoy but I'll meet people there.

Wish I could make it! Have fun everyone and looking forward to the report and photos afterwards. Wendouree won't know what hit it.

Can you ask any Tesla officials present at the opening for an update on the Horsham, Keith and Adelaide SC. I am not sure what all these SC installers do in their downtime. It would be nice to see them simply moving directly from one new SC to the next project.

 

[eclectricdave]

Apologies.Seems little point going to something already open.

 

[Novatec]

Look forward to seeing you.

Good event, with plenty of interest, 8 Teslas in total, and opened by Heath Walker & Local Council.
Tesla had 3 cars including an X P100D

 

[Novatec]

Was good to meet TMC regulars Brewster (Portland), srwx (Ballarat), and catch up with PJF000 and MrElectron today at Ballarat opening
