Tesla battery event Hornsdale

[Jays200]

Perhaps he's going to announce he'll fly over to Western Australia to commission our states first supercharger at Eaton

I'm going to have to find somewhere with good wifi in Clare to keep up with all the pre-Hornsdale event news...

Casting about for some data about this project I found this article Explainer: What the Tesla big battery can and cannot do from a few months ago.
Any intel on how construction is going?

Just out of interest from those at TOCA who may have a feel for this, how many Teslas are we expecting for the Hornsdale/Burra event?

 

[mhh]

I got my invite. I'm very excited. Now to ask TOCA if there's a time slot for charging at Clare. I'd rather not come by ICE...

19 people who will be driving Teslas have registered their journeys.

I want to go, but cannot fetch an invite!!! I was on holidays when the RSVP came out and didn't think I would have time. The P90D even had a bath recently.

Just sent you a PM NovoCasGreeny

Hey people, looks like I’m the official Talking Tesla corespondent for the Hornsdale trek, so if you’re heading to SA and I see you on the road, don’t run away if I wave an audio recorder in your direction. Should be a great event and would love to capture some of the buzz for the show. Consider yourselves warned, we all have a long drive to come up with something witty! ;-) Happy travels.

Hey everyone, we're on our way to cover the IAC event and then on to Hornsdale. We stopped in Horsham to recharge at the new superchargers, but had a bit of trouble locating them. They're round the back of a Target store, in a muddy paddock behind a fence overlooked by two massive water tanks that seem about to take off into space.

Just a reminder to everyone travelling to Hornsdale that using plugshare and glympse will help the coordinators and other travellers anticipate any problems and assist with any queuing required at bottlenecks (especially since some chargers aren't on the car map yet and so you can't see the state of bays on there).

Big day yesterday. Lots of things to discuss including the mars mission stuff. How about some posts from down under

Big night out at Hornsdale. Nice of Elon to drop in.

 

[BenT]

And there was even charging available at the event but not for the public. Probably just for Elon and for the Tesla company cars.

 

[mhh]

I used the Clare SC on the way up and back. Very handy. Just got home.

Big day!

Hehe, spreading the message! I'm interested to see what sort of comments they get on the article, there were a few neggy trolls on their last Tesla story:

Tesla drivers test out charger

I didn't make it to the event but I did drive down on Saturday (Melb to Adelaide), stayed over night in the Horsham International Hotel, meet up with Trevor in Keith on Sunday and now in Adeliade.

Saw many Tesla's travelling in the opposite direction, most I've ever seen in the one drive.

All chargers worked no issues, easy drive....I think I'll drive all my trips to see my customers in Adelaide for now on...

Nice to run in to you guys at the HIH, glad the rest of the trip went well!
