Definitely! I'd have to set it to 'aggressive' though based on the usual drivers
I'll wait for the D. I wanted the top model when I placed my original order and I still do.

Particularly if out during the ute demolition derby early on weekday mornings?

I would say you need to be prepared to wait another 2 years... I’m sure it would have to start again for approval.
as for self parking teslas and self driving I don't think in australia you'll be allowed to self park without a driver in the car. we have a more grey area between a public road a private road that's publicly available and a private land. but the good thing about telsa making every same hardware and software based is if the rules change or approval is gained you'll just get a software update and you'll be away.

So these upgrades and changes make for a couple of interesting situations for Australia:
1. Those of us who have confirmed orders (or in production) P85+'s and the demo cars will be the only P85+'s ever in Australia.
2. Australia will be the only country where all customer ordered cars have automous driving capabilities.

I have to say that the outcome regarding the rebuilds was very fair. There would have been incredible ill will towards the company otherwise. It would be really interesting to know how many cars actually had been built. It will be even more interesting what they do with them. If sold as inventory, then your point 2 will not be valid. and secondly, what about those cars in sig-only colours (red/white)? Demo cars yes. Loaners yes. But how many of those do they need?

Ha, that's why I made the qualification in point 2 of 'customer ordered cars'.
Also, we have No. 3: Australia will have the only Model S Signatures with autonomous driving.

No, it is not the same as my Tesla charger. However it is a type 2 or Mennekes connector.

I wonder if it could be a tesla charger inside a sturdier outer casing? The reason I say that is the casing looks oversized, but has the vertical slot where the charging status LEDs would be?
David Walsh's partner Kirsha Kaechele.
That looks like a wall connector that someone in the museum workshops have made a water proof cover for.
That's MONA which is owned by David Walsh. I guess he's getting a Model S because that's definitely a modified Tesla charger.

THE most important question is which of our Tassie friends in this forum is David Walsh??
(I've had many bizarre tangents in my life touching on these MONA / Moorilla guys starting with a wedding in Tassie about 15-20 years ago where I had an in depth discussion about a gambling system. Super-cool, and brilliant use of their success in many,many ways)
That sounds more like it. It's interesting that the non-P dual motor cars don't reach the UK until September. P gets priority.

It is the same old page. Not been updated yet, obviously. As usual, tail end Charlie.
