That bill might just be enough to make Tesla add Starlink receivers to the Australian cars.Just wait until Tesla gets their bill from Telstra, that’ll be the end of that

No SR+ range too short I think. But won't know until we try that long trip...
As others have said, with Model 3 you are pretty well covered:
The only thing I’d get would be one of these:
- Tesla Superchargers
- NRMA DC Fast Chargers have a CCS2 plug on them
- Take your UMC and tails with you, and you can plug in to any standard 10A or 15A socket.

That way you could plug into a tethered J-1772 charger that has no other plugs on it. But they are becoming increasingly rare (the equipment will either have more than one plug type on it, or is co-located with other chargers that have CCS2). The Plugshare App is your friend as to showing you what publicly accessible electricity is available, where, and the type of plug.
Given the imminent demise of the old type 1 chargers, that is probably more useful to be honest.If you're travelling north of Brisbane you'll need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable as a lot of the Qld Electric Superhighway chargers are BYO cable Queensland's Electric Super Highway | Transport and motoring | Queensland Government

Um, did you upload the right video? I see no male vandal at 0:22, just a young mum with bub
OK, I give up... I need to take the SR+ from Sydney to Port Macquarie but there is a lack of charging infrastructure specific from Tesla Corp. i.e. superchargers on the route. If we go off piste, I risk losing charge. I can take the UMC but it is single phase and slow as a snail even at 15 amps (if you can ever find a socket at that). What should I be buying? Type 1 to type 2 converter cable (single phase again)? 3 phase charger to type 2 (expensive!) for 11KW? I am a bit lost on what is best. It seems most off piste is 3 phase in Aus and I am about to wire the home connector to the wall so that aint joining me. They should have had a 3 phase UMC supplied with the car IMHO.

The Electric Super Highway sites have Tritium Veefil 50kW chargers with CCS 2 and CHAdeMO, so no cable or adapter needed for Model 3.
Bugger, that seems way better solution than buying Gen 1 UMC...should have got the sparky to stick a 3P socket/plug in the line...View attachment 462502
Why hardwire the HPWC. Better to make it mobile via a 3phase socket and plug. Easier to change if it fails also.
If you can find a Gen1 UMC that will deliver 11kw to a M3 via RedEuro adaptor.

You are indeed a very patient person, I would Have been way more than just annoyed. Tesla Australia is treating some of their customers with utter contempt.The lack of communication is the thing that annoys me the most.
Good idea. You have convinced me. I texted the electrician doing the job tomorrow... all sorted. He will get a plug and socket.View attachment 462502

Spotted on Faceplant, apparently some Model threes have made it to WA by roro. So those waiting for roro's...it's happened! (Well, sent on from Sydney after unloading out of containers)
Just wanted to say for those complaining about Tesla's poor communication, I agree it could be better. However whenever I have tried calling them, they have answered promptly and helped me with my concerns.
In other news, getting keen now. Less than 7 days until delivery!
