Do you mean an update on the previous "grey blobs"? I haven't seen any notice of an update/change/new version from the previous one. Assuming you received other 14.x versions in the last month or two - guessing you did as you mentioned seeing "grey blobs" already.

Yeah, I can see how it could be taken! I guess it's a sign of the times changing - 5 years ago, charging networks were run by people/companies who actually wanted to build a charging network. Today, there seems to be a new company name popping up every month ... safe to say there would be a...

Thats fantastic. I can see Katherine, Alice Springs, and all the western NSW 50 kW ones in the app. Odd they don't have the NRMA logo next to them? It'd be nice if Chargefox updated their site icons so that 150+ kW get the "ultra-fast" symbol! There's a huge difference between 50 to 150 kW...

Exact same here (except a M3). Not sure if we're going to notice anything different, all the features on notateslaapp.com seemed to list things that have come in the past few updates for us.

These seem conflicting. Idle fees are to maintain throughput at high turnover sites (DC chargers). People are going to be parking at 7 kW sites for long periods (e.g. overnight). If their charging finishes at 5am are they really expected to go out and move their car by 5:30am?! Not to...

A few other models have this already. I've never driven a car with this, so I'm not really sure what the experience is like. I can imagine that it would be disconcerting if you move your head a bit to the side and the view doesn't change. Unless there is some fancy eye-tracking technology...

Arguably it's less bonkers than to have a functional 2-stall sled sitting in a Tesla warehouse somewhere doing nothing while queues are forming at other nearby superchargers.

The new vision view uses cameras only. However the default is the old USS version, you are able to switch between them in settings, and can toggle back if you prefer the old one.

It was added by a Plugshare employee. Notably not via an automated process (that would be an account in the format "admin_cesar"). The same account added the "Scone, NSW (Coming Soon)" entry some months back. In both cases, the site was not listed anywhere official - not on Tesla's website...

Another option for this is something like a hot-water diverter. MyEnergi makes one called the Eddi that operates on a similar basis to the Zappi - tracks your solar export and can be set to operated based on excess solar generation. Haven't looked into it, but apparently can also go to things...

Thanks - good info! Using CCS2 in Chile makes sense, it aligns with what Tesla has done in every other market it has entered since 2017 (includes new areas of Europe, Middle East, South East Asia). I don't expect you'll see NACS in South America at all, then. The other EV manufacturer which...

I do get that.. I work for a company that operates under the same process! But the details are not generally easy to find for the general public! Generally with our tariffs they grandfather the old ones for some time - the worst they would do is not allow new connections to use the old tariffs.

I totally understand the reason for electricity companies introducing new tariffs like this, but people choose to buy solar or solar/battery systems, a ~10 year investment, based on the tariffs available at the time. There needs to be a longer "phase in" period. Someone installing now would be...

The other observation (which has been shared by many network operators) is that DC fast charging aligns almost perfectly aligns with solar generation output. Makes sense, as many people avoid making long trips at night if they can help it. Over the last week, the *average* percentage of...

Don't get too excited by a new thread! Just a holding location for some info that was posted in the midst of the shitstorm of the last couple of weeks. This was in the comment of a post on a FB group. After the email yesterday I tried to find it again, took me quite a while, so copying the...

Might be worth adding the Glenelg site and the "mystery" Victorian site (from the EFTM article - if it can be found) onto supercharge.info?

To use the metaphor of "turning an ocean liner around" (often used to refer to ICE manufacturers who struggle to become EV manufacturers - but used in a different context here): Tesla's Australian supercharger network was like an ocean liner that was moving slowly for 8 years, then finally in...

I think the gnashing of teeth was entirely valid based on the actions and information we had at the time. Tesla still has to re-hire their charging team in Australia. Either the same people (who have been burned once), or new people who have to start from scratch.

I've noticed the sub-entity of NRMA who is building this is known as "NRMA ELECTRIC HIGHWAYS PTY LTD" - which can be handy to know when search for council records. https://www.abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?abn=35659311163

Well at least the council is doing things, even if Tesla isn't. This is from their meeting on 24th April. https://www.armidaleregional.nsw.gov.au/ArticleDocuments/259/Agenda%20-%2024%20April%202024.PDF.aspx

I don't know how long ago this changed (some time in the last few weeks) but the Hobart pin on the Tesla map now says "coming 2024" instead of "coming 2023". As if that helps at the moment :-/

I've been persistently a glass-half-full person over all of the Tesla (and by extension, Elon, Twitter/X) happenings over the last couple of years. At first it was "I guess he was having a bad day when he said that". Then it was "OK he has an opinion, I guess he's entitled to do so". Then it...

Haha... posted by George. I bet it's the exact same George who is always saying the same thing on TheDriven comments:

An absolutely rooted situation for Australia. On the other hand, who's going to be the first to identify the not-a-supercharger-site from the photo above? Hints are: Regional Victoria, private business. We have to keep ourselves entertained somehow!

Obviously they'll be using the wireless charging, from the company that Tesla bought last year and was being worked on by Rebecca Tinucci's divis... oh.

It's not taboo, it's that it's been asked, answered, and if you ask the same question again, you'll get the same answer. It makes a hell of a lot more sense for service stations, fast food chains and shopping centres to build charging networks, than it does for a vehicle manufacturer.

Two things: 1) We don't have high standards for the other manufacturers 2) We don't want every manufacturer to build their own separate charging network. Tesla *had* to, because in 2013 no-one else was doing it. And everyone else was so disinterested in it, that they grew to become the market...

Looks like 2024.14.3 is rolling out, including to vehicles in Australia. https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2024.14.3/release-notes

Yeah, most of the expected etiquette about DC charging doesn't really make sense when applied to AC charging. If someone is slow charging while at a restaurant or movie (say, parked for 3 hours) they shouldn't be expected to come out and move at the 2hr 30m mark. (But similarly if they know...

Stan from the Kangaroo Island TV YouTube channel has posted his experience of charging here with his Polestar 2. And the two Teslas which showed up about the same time!

It seems they wanted to get on the front foot of this - hence why they've started to call it "Full Self Driving supervised" for the recent wide release. It's very clear, even to the most intentionally obtuse journalists, what it means. My guess is it won't be called "Full Self Driving" until...

It would be a different branch/update number for us I imagine. (Whirlpool comment says likely the same update as the matrix headlight update, but I'm not sure where that info is from...)

Spotted on Whirlpool today.. surprised this hasn't spread through the rumour mills like wildfire! The following have appeared on vehicles in the US. https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2024.3.25/release-notes

@moa999 posted about another DA for the superchargers - in the Superchargers in Australia thread.

I have a 7 kW home charger (ChargeMate), also have solar. Pretty much all the time I reduce the charge rate to 3.6 kW so that it chargers at a rate lower than my solar generates. As a start, get a 15A power outlet on a dedicated circuit installed - with the wiring suitable for a 32A load in...

Not sure what the were before, but I just checked in my car and they're mostly between 51c and 68c/kWh.

NRMA locking in their first location in Tassie! https://northernmidlands.tas.gov.au/source-assets/files/2024-Council-Agenda-and-Minutes/2024-04-22-Open-Council-Agenda.pdf...

If it's your first car and you've only just got your license - go for a second hand Tesla. You get all the fun, save $10-20k, and if it already has a few dings or scratches you won't feel bad about adding more. There might be restrictions on P-platers driving certain cars - these are per...

You could get it moved to the NZ forum and pretend you meant to post it there all along ;)

It could be doing the "world tour" route (i.e. Sydney only) then.

Do we know of the ones in China, Japan etc. remained in those countries, and this is a dedicated Australian demo vehicle, or is this a single vehicle doing a "tour" of all Asia Pacific countries? If it's an Aussie one, I expect all showrooms will get a look eventually.

How are deliveries progressing - anyone in Chile taken delivery yet? I'm interested to get confirmation that they do use CCS2. A photo from an article seems to suggest they do (see this post) but can't be sure about Reuters these days!

I'm pretty sure this is it, just wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. I've just looked up a bunch of other future (un-built) superchargers on there, and I'm wondering what the point is. People just check into them by mistake. ONe that does baffle me however, is this one - Scone...

The 2024 Q2 was the one at the UTas campus in Burnie, in fact I just noticed on Plugshare you have used it :) Yeah, you are hearing from the same source as me (Clive at AEVA meetings!) Many of those were supposed to be last year :( But I do hear updates on various sites on occasion so I know...

Does anyone know who "South Melbourne EV Club" is? Trying to work out which is happening out of either: (a) they have inside information on the Apollo Bay supercharger location or (b) they're adding incorrect info to Plugshare

I replied to this one in the Tassie charger thread! Tasmanian Fast / Ultra Fast chargers

Replying from another thread where it was off-topic: I got curious and checked the rate of fast charger openings... So it's been a bit slow but we've had longer droughts! Installing fast chargers is a long process, and we only see the final 10% of it. There are many upcoming sites in...

So it looks like mostly regional locations, 4-8 stalls, and 150 kW units (or as low as 75 kW if sharing) - overall a great addition.

I don't do it either, but other people do, so it needs to be catered for.
