Is this guy my brother? He literally says exactly the same thing word for word when I mention polluting the world.

Tesla Model 3 in Australia

Australia’s ‘silent majority’. Ugly, ugly people.
Blue heaven
Fair Dinkum Tesla
I'm going to step in here and say stop with this rubbish talk, and I mean RUBBISH, Tesla have delivered thousands of cars across Australia including hundreds to Western Australia, I know of only one vehicle that has been delivered with slight damage and that was repaired by Tesla with no argument. I know of NO cars that have been delivered damaged and Tesla have refused repair, if this was the case it would be all over the forums.
Yes, I understand Tesla's communication is bordering on inept, yes, I understand you've waited 3+ years for a car that up until now appeared almost non existent, and yes, I could ignore these ridiculous negative posts concerning delivery but they are just borderline scaremongering that has a negative impact on those reading this forum that are still deciding on a purchase. Take a chill pill because in the next few weeks you're going to take possession of the worlds best car and a few possible dings in the paintwork will make zero difference.
Emailed to me. Got a call Friday invoice came on the Monday. Invoice Number 232 Car Built 11/719. It's a business car so they might be doing things a bit different with me. Had to get a bit more paperwork done.

I'm in both the "Tesla Model 3 Australia" group and the "AEVA Tasmania" group. I'm cautious about creating yet *another* group ... (I'm in many Tesla, Leaf, Ioniq/Kona, Australia/internal EV groups, AEVA state groups - and I've found none of them stick to their specific topic!) "AEVA Tasmania" is probably the best one to discuss local events and Model 3 delivery info in, there is a lot of interest from the others in there including S and X owners, as well as Model 3 reservation holder who haven't cashed in their reservation yet - like me!
so two things here:
1. They are installing quite a few more superchargers over the coming months. There is a map on the Tesla website somewhere that shows the planned superchargers; however
2. The main purpose of Superchargers is to facilitate long distance travel. This is why most superchargers are not installed in inner city areas where people could charge their cars for the normal short commute to/from work. The theory being that most people can charge at home and/or work.
This means the nearest charger being an hour from your home is exactly what they want. You leave home with a full charge, and sometime after you've depleted a significant part of the batteries charge, you can charge at a supercharger.
Edit: include link. This shows current superchargers in red, planned in grey

That grey one in Gympie will get me from Brisbane to the fam in Rockhampton. Pretty excited about that. I'm already hassling my dad to put a 15A outlet in his garage
They really need one along the great ocean road. Maybe in Apollo bay or the 12 Apostles. Charge while you take in the view
Edit: Actually make it Port Cambell national park. I like spending some time there better

Just wait until they get super popular, like this line waiting to charge in the People’s Republic of California. Saw this photo on reddit. This occurs mainly because people don’t home charge due to street parking etc. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy an electric car without having a place to charge it.
Also that map of “planned” superchargers is ancient. It seems like Tesla doesn’t update it, although now with the model 3s depending on how many get sold will place more pressure on them to broaden the infrastructure.

They have one in Warnambool already and soon to be one in Geelong, i think.They really need one along the great ocean road. Maybe in Apollo bay or the 12 Apostles. Charge while you take in the view

Yeah have seen this on YouTube. Totally understand the theory around why charging stations are placed in certain location.
I live in one of the most tourists visited places in Victoria and nothing.
Only wishing there was one close so I could fast charge sometimes if I really needed it

Yep, they wanted help building the infrastructure.
Do you want non teslas sat there charging at 50-70kw max for 2 hours?

This.
There are lots of things that Tesla can do to work with other companies. They tried getting them on board with helping them build out the infrastructure. They could charge them a *sugar* load if they want to use it, to recoup the capital costs of building the network (for Teslas they do that through the initial purchase price). But having these shitty cars that take forever to charge taking up charging spots just doesn't make sense.
