Tesla St Leonards to close

[ARMARM]

So, No Tesla's in Newcastle?. I think your data must be way!! out of date.

I think the data they were using was/is extremely flawed.

Yes I was thinking that specifically with Armadale, a large country town. There is probably only a handful of Teslas but they do 60,000km/yr at highway speeds.

I think you're confusing Armadale (WA) with Armidale (NSW)

So is St Leonards SC open for charging or not? Charged in the Broadway SC and getting in and out of there in a Model X with 22” wheels is insanely hard (the most stupid car park like ever).

So is St Leonards SC open for charging or not?

Yes, until January 31.

Yes, until January 31.

gosh, I hope Tesla opens something else other than Broadway as that place is a nightmare.....

It wouldn't be the first time.

So no clue where the next SC in the lower north shore is. Hate going to Broadway to supercharge only because it’s so damn hard to make that right turn out through true ticket boom gate. If I don’t make a 1-3 pt turn going out I always scrape my front left rims without fail. However, saw a gangster model x driver do it in one swift turn but he was going quick. Damn model s is too massive. These are the times I miss my BMW M3.

I knew *sugar* was going down at St Leonard’s ages ago when the took away the Nescafé espresso machine. I always washed my own cup, they must of hated washing every privileged persons left over cup and said screw this, we are closing this service center down.

I talked to someone at Alexandria and they said Tesla was "aggressively" searching for new premises on the north shore. I guess we wait and see.
MS is narrower than MX. At Broadway go as far as you can before wheeling right, don't turn wheel too soon.

Model x is built on the same platform as the S.
I agree, damn nuisance having to go to Alexandria. Went just yesterday to pick up a cabin air filter. Mine was truly filthy after all this smoke. Also i have no idea when it was last changed, but it is a 5 minute (or less) DIY job on the 2014 model S. On the bright side, the filter seems to be cheapest at Tesla - $29. It is possible Ryco make a compatible filter but it is dearer and i need to do more research. However, the dearer filter may go down to 2.5 like a HEPA filter which the activated carbon one from Tesla does not.

They need to be more than aggressive if I am going to continue to be cheap to supercharge for free on my MS. I am so cheap I don't charge at home even though I have a solar array. That's how cheap I am. The fact that I can't make that right turn well, you guys probably know this bloke is Asian already. Well, you're right!

Thanks for the tip with the Tesla Cabin filters. I definitely need to get mine changed, the mobile Tesla service dude that repaired my door handle (common MS door handle not popping out issue) said that with the current fires and smoke the filters clog up as quick as people lining up at centerlink on Thursdays. I actually thought anything with activated carbon could stop even 2.5 particles.

 

[Dborn]

Ryco do make a compatible filter that does do 2.5 particles. BUT it is well over $60!!! Highway robbery!!

The poison from all those flapping dieselmobiles is 100nm. Don't mean to kill your vibe, but every chance to rend people that diesel must die is a chance that must be taken

4 days to go before the closure of the St Leonards charging station. Still no sign of hope that there would be a location ready by June. Those HC Tesla drivers going to be happy being slugged additional $7 for re-entry to broadway superchargers. You can only enter the shopping center once per 24 hours without being charged for 2 hours. Perhaps, closing St Leonards was another way of addressing this or maybe not? I still tend to think it is due to people not washing their cups at the service center after making their latteés.

 

[Dborn]

I do suspect the HC drivers have a business deal with Tesla. That deal may include something with Broadway centre management.

St. Leonards has officially been removed from Teslas charging map. Anyone been by today can confirm if the charger is still operational? In-car map still showing as open and in use.

Saw photos from yesterday of the superchargers all taped off and no power to them, cars now showing them as "Temporarily Unavailable" as well .

Oh crap! I was half expecting they would keep them running until a new site was up.
Here's to 5 new superchargers around Sydney this year eh?
