Government not happy about the browser apparently. At one stage they were looking at whether they could have it operate when the car was stationary.

And our cars have an Aluminium body unlike the US cars that have an Aluminum body:biggrin:No we are not getting tires we are getting tyres!

no wonder it is taking so long to build our cars, with apple also being based in Silicon Valley it must be tricky to find some spare "I"s knocking around?
according to the spec page on the Tesla website with region set to Australia it looks like the car will actually be
made from aluminum and have tires!

What colors are offered?
"U" were quick off the mark with that one. Gray possibly?
Just noticed a Windows phone and Desktop app: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/31095-Tesla-Companion-App
Small issues while we wait...but at least I can use my Nokia windows phone.

It's a couple of weeks after Japan launch, and we can all see things are lining up in the background (service centre leases, supercharging, first sig cars). I think we should see some substantial news/movement in the next couple of weeks.
Just gotta call from Tesla confirming I'm aware of the gray colour change... Why is it with everything I'm going through with this car soon as I heard her say she was from Tesla an instant smile came across my face.:biggrin:
She did say they were in the very final final stages before production...:tongue:

I'm still not holding my breath - I was expecting my car in August, over a year later than originally...

You guys seen this one? Australian test drive review. His accent was certainly Australian haha! Pity that they didn't get to push the pedal down all the way.

No I think he was just misinformed. Probably saw the US reviews and assumed we would have internet browsing here too.

Very short video. Standard 85 actually keeps up quite well I thought! Brown is also a beautiful colour on this video, very happy

With the AUD down almost 5% against the USD in the past week or so it will be interesting to see how much longer Tesla holds current pricing. They don't have the sort of fat that the other car importers do.
