Great news! Hopefully that will include heading south on the highway through Ewingsdale, Grafton, Coffs, etc. BTW the solar installation at the Macadamia Castle is impressive even if it is only 32A J1772.

it's a long term hypothetical - see my post earlier in the thread! Superchargers in Australia - Page 8
We (Australia) get a mention in the latest www.teslamotors.com Blog. Apparently The Star is the southernmost Supercharger in the world, for now.

Interesting that the blog shows superchargers to Brisbane, but the official site only shows them stopping around Newcastle. Buladelah/Taree please! I can't wait to be able to use the car to drive to Coffs!

Has anyone heard anything about supercharger installation since the initial rush? I have heard nothing. The other interesting (worrying) thing is that there has been zero movement on the construction site in St Leonards since just before Christmas. You would think they would complete at least the service centre if indeed they are waiting for some kind of approval for the sub station. They MUST have had some kind of of approval for that for things to have gone as far as they have. Wonder if the money supply has temporarily dried up...??....
I believe that they still have the Banksmeadow site for service - so yet another drain for rent....

I went to the James Turrell Exhibition in Canberra today and stopped by the big Merino and surrounding businesses in Goulburn.
If they have started building Superchargers there they are hiding it well.

That's a big call! I love Elon's wild claims, but I think he needs to spend some time with a map.

I'm not sure of the range assurance algorithm will take account of the presence of a home charger or let users add chargers as they appear. For instance what if I'm driving out of range of a SC but there's a destination charger at someone's private house that is available en route? If I visit there regularly I don't want to be repeatedly reminded that I'm running out of charge when I know that I will be able to charge.

From what I read it includes allowing for 'places you've charged previously' which would include home or known destination (like a holiday house) chargers.
There is a story about the latest update in today's paper Tesla Model S: Australia to have Superchargers everywhere, and the end of range anxiety
In that story is a rough map of future superchargers in Australia by only a few family driving holidays away!

Interesting. I thought Elon mentioned that they were going to put additional investment into Australia, but the supercharger map in the article is the same as originally shown at launch.....with the same timelines. Were his comments hyperbole or might Tesla genuinely accelerate their rate of investment in Australia. Technically his comments could be taken that they will have future investments (i.e.continue with the plan), but contextually they seemed to be suggesting more than initially planned/communicated.
