    Kerbside pole-mounted chargers are now a thing

    Not really a surprise at all, City of Sydney Council is fairly anti-Car of any type. They want you to take public transport, or ride your bike. This is fine if you’re going somewhere within Council area but more problematic for longer trips but happen to live in the Council area.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    It’s Prince’s Highway with the apostrophe removed. Named after Prince Edward, later King Edward VIII, later after abdicating Duke of Windsor. Come to think of it, now that I know that fact, I think it needs a new name.

    Consindering importing a Japanese Tesla to The Bahamas, What works, what doesn't? Due to them being RHD and having the same charging standard.

    Will the car receive software updates? The car can receive updates over WiFi so I don’t see any reason why not. However the maps and navigation are locked to the home country so would not be functional. Do the maps work on US cars though, possibly not. Will the car infotainment language be...

    Delivery shenanigans.

    Don’t doubt your experience. I too live in a cool environment, living in the Southern Highlands of NSW. I’m not defending Teslas position, but I also think the inspector is being unreasonable. But you live in the environment not me. Despite being very popular amongst the Uber crowd in Sydney...

    Powered boot strut failed

    My powered strut failed under warranty at about year 2. So it does happen occasionally. New one at about 6 years later is rock solid.

    Kia EV6 GT Line AWD compared to my Tesla Model Y LR

    Yes they do, only it’s not as featured as the iOS app. For example there’s no ‘Play Next’ feature on Tesla version of the app and you can’t pre download podcasts either. Both would be very useful to avoid having to touch the screen whilst driving.

    National Construction Code consultation and impact on EVs

    Oh lovely! :mad: I’m in the middle of a Strata project to install charging for a basement car park of a large apartment building with 155 parking spaces. Will make the next meeting interesting.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I think 250Kw relates to the capacity of the charger, not sure what the max charge rate for Model 3 (LFP) but others may know. Initial state of charge, the temperature of the battery, ambient temperature, capacity of the site and number of other cars charging at the site can all make a...

    Charging Adaptors 101

    If you must have an extension lead, search for welding machine extension cords like below. But all that others have said above still applies. https://unimig.com.au/product/15a-heavy-duty-extension-lead/

    Superchargers in Australia

    I think I have to agree that everything that could be said about the Supercharger team sackings has been said. So I will be reserving the right to delete any more comments on that subject going forward. I’m not going to create a new thread specifically for that topic here as it’s not an...
