Where can I find the current Tesla Supercharging costs in Australia?

Best to start with what you have.
Work out what is on the garage circuit (hopefully not shared with kitchen or laundry).
If you are going to wire a separate circuit might as well go far 32A.

I don't know if mind is single phase or three phase. How do I find? Is 32amps good with single phase?
If you are charging close to your board you could have the electrician install a dedicated 15a din mounted gpo in the board, assuming you have sufficient spare slots. Saves all the cable routing and cable costs. Means your board door has to be open when charging so not a good option if thats exterior.
If all your breakers and main switch are the same width (approx 2cm) then you are single phase. If one or more are tripple width then 3 phase
That's where I am confused. It looks like single, but at the same time I read somewhere that if there are three fuses in the main board it is 3 phase (How To Check if You Have 3 Phase Power (& Solar)). My board has 3 fuses but the breakers are slim and all same size. I do have an extended board which I haven't looked at yet.
Attached are the images of the main board.

The main switch shown is single phase, however the other board may tell a different story as the main switch shown is likely just be for that sub-board. Fairly sure thats a single phase meter though.
I just did a bit of a research and can see that MY can charge 0-100 in under 8 hours on single phase if using 32amps plug.
However, I read somewhere that Tesla UMC comes with only up to 15 amps adaptor. Is there a good suggestion for 32 amps adaptor that works with Tesla Gen2 UMC?
Also, does Tesla automatically detect the amperage when using Tesla UMC or do I have to be careful with that?

I really don't want to invest in a HWPC in a rented house. Plus I am happy with slow charging as long as it can charge over night
RCBO rather than fuse these days. Also maybe some conduit.
That'd be it unless your switchboard is full or not up to standard.
No, the UMC (the current version, supplied since before the Model 3 launched here) is a single phase device and supports up to 32A.
You would need a 32A 'tail' for it, like this (or the 5-pin version).
In the mean time, I just noticed that Tesla UMC is no longer listed in Tesla Shop Australia (not even as "out of stock"!!!). Are they pulling it form the market?
I doubt it, it's probably just to stop people ordering them unnecessarily while they're still including it with new deliveries.
Well that's stupid, what of someone who already has a Tesla and no UMC needs one now?!
There are issues with the Tesla store at the moment associated with the warehouse move.
Lots of products are showing as 'out of stock', others have disappeared completely with just a 404 error...
