Tesla down under

Tesla began deliveries of Model S in Australia in December 2014. Here is a video of one family's Australian delivery experience for a bit of fun:

Maybe hard to believe I know, but I saw a Model S on the island of Tasmania last Feb (2015). Red P85D I think it was... parked in front of Angelo's Italian restaurant.

Anybody know anything about it?

Probably David Walsh the owner of MONA in Hobart.
It was spotted in a different thread.

I meant to say P85. Late night typo.

Yes, owner of MONA would make sense though I couldn't any sense of MONA!

This video of the supercharger at The Star in Sydney may be of interest to those who haven't been there yet. It is one of two super chargers currently operational in Australia, both in Sydney.

Cool vid, thank you.

However what a shame they need to send the car back for repairs? i.e. The steering installed on the wrong side!
