Their announcement only talked about enabling travel to the site though, nothing about having charging there.
This is what I was referring to. The Telsa "soon". Wishful thinking on my part that they might put something in place prior to end September. Having said that Elon could still possibly suprise Adelaide with a Supercharger yet.

We're going with electric bikes in the back in case we have to abandon ship due to long queues at the Clare Valley Motel destination charger.
100 km? No problem

And when Elon's finished here he can fly over in his G650 with Amber to our Eaton SC, launch that and announce the solar powered Nullabor supercharger stations.

How many TOCA members are planning on staying at Clare Valley Motel? I have booked a room for the Friday night hoping to get some destination charge to get back to Adelaide but now there is also the possible Burra event too so I am suffering some range anxiety.

I'm staying in Burra (if I get there) as I'd heard most stuff in Clare was full and there was potentially TOCA stuff happening in Burra.

I have a feeling there's going to be charging congestion at the Clare Valley Motel & Mr Micks on the 28th & 29th.
I wonder if it’d be out of the question for some Supercharger sleds to be installed at either a temporary spot or at the planned permanent location in Clare before the 29th?
That would be impressive.

I'd doubt it considering Tesla's council submitted proposal included the installation of a 315kW pole mounted transformer.
It'd be a stretch for them to have that done in the next couple of weeks.

I think they'd have to be aiming to have a temporary supercharger there, a large number of cars trying to AC charge is going to be extremely problematic.
Although I guess if Adelaide is done some of the longer range vehicles may get away with little or not charging.
Keith is on track. Adelaide is on track. If they got a sled to Clare and possibly Horsham it would be an amazing achievement!
Most club members are staying in Burra. We're also having a brunch in Burra on Saturday morning - come along

Just received an invite now. Maybe not as many as hoped are taking up the offer? I would really like to go, but again its the issue of finding places to charge. Has anyone checked the Clare Showgrounds for 3 phase x 5 pin? Or any other showgrounds in the area for that matter for those with the plug in equipment?
I have until Friday to reply ...
If you’re interested in attending, please RSVP by Friday, 22 September.

There are destination chargers in Clare if by chance the Superchargers aren't up and running, so 3-ph points somewhat redundant other than to provide additional capacity. But if the superchargers aren't operational I think there will be a lot of problems for many people so Tesla will be pulling all the stops out to make sure they are. I would RSVP and if worry about it closer to the time. Not zero risk though

It's not going to be so much that there are destination chargers, just more the ratio of teslas:chargers

I would say go for it @brewster . From Portland you can sneak to Adelaide via Kingston SE and avoid all the risks associated with the Euroa (expansion), Horsham and Keith superchargers. Of course you are in the mix with everybody else from Adelaide, but there are several options there, and at worst you can get a 50% overnight charge at any caravan park, and at most you will lose a day.

Hey Tesla are those new Superchargers going to be operational or do we all need to turn up with CO2 belching generators?
Thanks for the suggestion Richard. I'll probably be staying at my daughters in Kaniva for an overnight charge on Thursday. Maybe a top up at Murray Bridge Showgrounds and another spot in between, prob where I intend to stay overnight.
