Sounds like a plan, we should organise an after delivery dinner and relive that meal at the "all you can eat Italian" after the Get Amped event in 2012. Hopefully NZ will be sorted by then and Peter W and Leonie can join the party. :smile:
P.S You're invited too Jay.

Would love to be a passenger&see what the reactions are of passers by.:love::love::love:
Super jealous of everyone who gets a test drive. :crying:

I think once it hits the streets there will be a lot more interest generated, which can only be a good thing!
I was told that at the moment only Tesla employees could drive it. So I could either convince them to hire me for the day, or I'll just have to sit in the passenger side. Doesn't matter, still awesome!
That's cool! My wife and I are visiting it on Thursday so hopefully Stone will take us for a drive.

Once it hits the streets in Sydney and once people start having test drives the pressure to release pricing and realistic arrival dates will be enormous.

It's been a struggle! I remember I paid the deposit in British pounds to their UK site which was the only way to get a reservation for RHD at the time.

Great idea, like 'gettin the band back together'! Hopefully NZ will be sorted. Certainly Peter W, Leonie and Jay will be most welcome.

Had a chance to see all the paint colour samples etc last night, and I think I'm definitely going to go with the Green: looks awesome! Made by the same people who do British Racing Green for Jaguar, which is exactly what I'm after!

Thank you for your further e mail to the Minister for Roads and Freight about
electric vehicles. The Minister has asked me to respond on his behalf.
As you are aware, the NSW Governmentis currently considering electric
vehicles and their usage as part of a broader NSW registration policy review.
The review is investigating alternative registration charging structures that
promote improvements in vehicle emissions and vehicle safety.
A public discussion paper outlining the proposed reforms will be released soon
on the Government's Have Your Say website( Have Your Say - Current Consultations).
A copy of the discussion paper will also be emailed to you when it is released.
I encourage you to make a submission in response to the proposals outlined in
the discussion paper.
lf you have any further questions Ms Kelly Miller, Registration policy Manager

I hope this has been of assistance.

Hmm, when did you place your reservation? I haven't heard anything yet! Hoping someone makes contact with the Melbourne reservation holders soon. Incidentally, I'm pretty keen on the brown, but will reserve judgement until I can see a sample!
Stellar work, do you mind sharing what ideas you fronted to then? Hopefully they are going to introduce effective reforms!

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing. I'll also write to him. It'd be fantastic to have stamp duty waived, and transit lane access!

Well, I asked for concessions and did indeed mention stamp duty, transit lanes, and reduced registration fees.
On a slightly related topic, Victorian registered pure electric or hybrid vehicles pay $100 less per annum in registration fees.
Hybrid vehicle registration discount : VicRoads
Every little bit helps...

If your considering brown like I am try to see the sample in the daylight as the sample Stone showed us last week did not do it justice when viewed inside at night. IMHO the Brown colour changes the most depending on the ambient light. The car I drove in 2012 was brown and pretty much convinced me it was the right choice.

An official response from Tesla and JB in particular.:-
JB shared your message with me: we discussed and I respond on behalf of Tesla -
- The Model S in Australia will have the EU type inlet and will be compatible with single and three-phase currents
- Model S comes standard with an onboard charger and a 40 amp single phase wall connector.
- For customers who ordered the dual chargers, we will provide later (estimated date: Q1 2015) a higher power wall connector, 80A single phase or 32A three-phase, based on the customer's preference. The more powerful connector will be provided free of charge to customers who ordered the dual chargers.
- We will develop, in time, a supercharger network in Australia. Given the multiple projects we manage at the moment, the first superchargers should not be expected until early 2015 - that's an estimate and not a guaranteed date.
- An optional 10 amp mobile connector compatible with Australian and New Zealand type 3112 electrical outlets will be available for purchase after delivery (availability planned in Q1 2015)
- The Model S is compatible with public charging stations using an IEC 62196 standard connector
This information will be available on the Australian website when we release it.

Its good to have some certainty and clarity about something. I presume that this means that S85s here will only come standard with a single charger?
