Fair Dinkum Tesla
I reckon the head of carsales summarised the issues faced by traditional brands quite nicely.

I don't think it tells us anything new particularly, but interview with Heath Walker is interesting all the same:

Latest manufacturer boasting that they will have a car to rival what Tesla achieved three years ago, in another three years time...
Volvo's Tesla rival due in 2019
At least Volvo identify that charging infrastructure is key, though their solution appears to be put training wheels (hybrid) on the car rather than deal with the problem....

This all seemed to go very quiet - Anyone seen any sign of a new Martin Place store? I hope it wasn't going to be in one of the buildings being acquired for the Sydney Metro?

So did a bit of searching and this article suggests that Tesla has indeed secured space in Martin Place for a store:
Golden age for revamped 20 Martin Place | afr.com
There is a DA currently in with City of Sydney (DA/2015/1248) which was exhibited in September last year. Current status is "under assessment" with further documents requested.
Application is described as change of use for "Tenancy 1" for use for vehicle sales for Tesla. They are seeking to trade 7 days a week.
Unfortunately there are not any plans or similar to download.

Article from Canberra Times about Tesla attempting to influence our politicians to make Canberra a development centre for autonomous vehicles:

A question on Australian ordering and our taxes, and apologies if this has been brought up elsewhere.
When selecting Autopilot ($3,800) it actually adds over 5k to the total cost as stamp duty and luxury tax go up. So if that's the case is it actually cheaper to enable after delivery for $4500, as it's just a purchase going straight to Tesla without additional charges?

Correct, and what I have done (including wheels), only downside is you can't include it in you car lease....Otherwise all good.

A nonsense article on why Hydrogen fuel cell cars are better than BEVs.
Their reasoning as to why battery cars are bad (fossil fuel derived electricity) isn't a problem for hydrogen production because they will use renewable electricity for that.....
Fuel cell: Where next for hydrogen cars?

I love that comic! I often quote it when I'm on the computer and my wife calls out to ask what I'm doing.
