Tesla in Australia

I reckon thats completely wrong. I suspect both stores did more than that in september alone.
Re Tesla in Brisbane:
James told me yesterday that at this stage it's just him and a car in Brisbane.
But I'm guessing it's only a matter of time until a showroom and service centre open in Queensland.
I predict Tesla will take off in Brisbane, like it has in Sydney and Melbourne!

Doesn't really surprise me. I would find it difficult to believe that all the cars I see weekly in the SC in Sydney were destined for this city.

There are probably closer to 70-80 in Queensland now. Pretty good numbers considering that there has been absolutely no sales or marketing in the state to date. The sales activities that are soon to commence here won't deliver any new cars on the road here until February/March next year at the earliest. Any cars arriving before then have already been ordered. I hate to think about how many sales Tesla have missed out on in Queensland by only getting the smallest presence here a year after NSW. Just crazy.

Hmmm - I applied for that job; was ready to start early this year too (complete with car).

Nice, Matt and Pia. The segment on channel 7 I thought was positive. more free advertising for Tesla, but no mention that it is all electric!?
Pity they showed the American idiot.

Here's a link to the news story that Dborn is referring to. It was on Sydney's Channel 7 news this evening:

Tesla Model S P90D review
reviewer gave the vehicle 7/10 for performance, 8/10 for safety and 0/10 for servicing costs, just no pleasing some people, and the highest priced fully loaded P90D I can find is $260k in WA, how does he get $275k plus?

I sent the journalist an email last night asking him that question. No response yet.
I suspect they meant $175k plus - although the mistake is made twice in the text and once on video so it's not just a typo.

How can they possibly score an EV with no mandatory servicing a 0 out of 10 for servicing costs??
It's got to be a typo for 10/10. It's the only justification for a zero, which would just be absurd.

When looking at the scoring breakdown, the score 0/10 for servicing is the only item 'greyed out' (defaults to 0/10 because it wasn't rated?) . I assume it should have been 10/10 or n/a then.
Performance also looks suss to me at 7/10 - the scoring criteria relies on Motor kW divided by mass. Seems a dated system when dealing with electric cars especially the Tesla.
Just taking the rear motor for the P85D which is rated at 375kW and a mass of 2100kg, by their formula it calculates to 178 which places it as an 8.5/10. When the front motor is added in it must surely be close to 10/10 (requires 525kW by their scale).

Did a little promotion work today for the local Hotel/Motel which has installed 2 destination chargers, and took the opportunity to take my contact for a short ride ....
Hope to post some promotional shots when the lady makes them available.
Hope this isn't getting tiring for you ('cause its not for me :biggrin

Insane from the other direction

You are probably correct, I find the defendant ( reviewer ) guilty of the heinous crime of lazy journalism! ( hope my spellings correct or I'm just as bad.)
