Tesla in Western Australia

[Blackwater]

Thanks so much, MDK, for your extremely helpful response which has addressed my last concerns. I'll be clicking the "order" button very soon and will be looking forward to the arrival of my new toy, hopefully before Christmas.

Maybe they are getting ready for an influx of model x cars (hopefully) arriving late this year (including my own order I placed nearly three years ago)

Any guesses where we might see a service centre in Perth?
My guess would be somewhere around Osborne Park.

I assume it would be a 'man with a van' like we have in Brisbane.

I agree with ray as usual. Tesla indicates asset lite

Well thats better than nothing I guess for the moment.
Eventually when Model 3 hits you would hope for a service centre then and a few superchargers.

I heard tonight that Tesla will have a service centre at Claremont in the long term (probably timed with the arrival of the Model 3) but before then it will have a temporary supercharger installed at the same site.

Can anyone corroborate?

Possibly Chuq, but any discussion on a WA service centre will require the "Cone of silence"

WOW.
That would be awesome news - particularly about a supercharger finally coming to WA.

Sounds like that isn't a "no" then!

 

[Murbs]

When does Tesla usually update their annual supercharger map?
Given there is not much more of 2016 left, surely it will have to be the new "today" and 2017 replace it as the "coming soon"?

 

[Blue heaven]

I think we are both getting the information from the same source!

 

[Murbs]

Before:

Now:

It looks like a Perth supercharger is definitely heating up given Tesla have just widened their supercharger map of Australia to include much of WA

 

[Chuq]

Possible, but I think this is the main reason!

Hi guys. I bought a MS about 6 months ago but just doing some research with forums and the like. If I want to drive around the South West and to Margaret River, I would need a CHADEMO adaptor is that correct? And where do most people buy this adaptor?

Hi RC CAR- great to see you around town, I will send you a message, you can borrow my CHAdeMO to test out the RAC electric highway.

I would love to take your offer on that. Thanks so much
