This issue has nothing to do with GPS. While the map tiles on the screen use Google data and show the Rozelle tunnels, the issue is that Tesla's navigation service, which I understand is provided by a third party called Mapbox, is not aware they exist. This means it's both incapable of routing...

Anybody got a link to the survey? I'm a semi-regular Evie user but I've turned off all marketing etc communications.

Extremely strategic plays like calling cave divers pedophiles, likening the Canadian Prime Minister to Hitler, or telling Twitter advertisers to go **** themselves?

You keep repeating this, but why? Tesla is the only truly usable charger network in Australia and has more chargers than the rest combined, if they stop expanding there's nobody who can credibly fill in the gap. It's a pipe dream, but I do wish BYD or somebody would get in on the act, the...

The Rozelle Interchange in Sydney opened on 26 November 2023, and I'm now typing this in May 2024, half a year later. While you can see the tunnels on the map, Tesla still doesn't know how to drive through them: every time I do, navigation freaks out and repeatedly tells me to turn left/right...

Elon has a long history of doing stupid 💩, but nuking the Supercharger team from orbit is quite possibly his stupidest move yet. It's bizarre to say this when they have (had?) the best-selling car in the entire world, but I'm starting to get genuinely worried for the future of Tesla.

Non-update update: visited the notional future 12-stall site in central Gundagai off Sheridan St near the tourist office today, and there was no sign of construction. With Tarcutta also still firmly on the drawing board, the current site at the Tuckerbox is going to become even more of a...

I checked out the putative Jindabyne SC site at 1 Bay St this morning, and there was zero construction going on, much less anything Supercharger-shaped. It looks unlikely that they'll have anything ready by the ski season, which is unfortunate, since there are plenty of Teslas flitting about...

Do we have different apps or something? You can get to a generic contact form if you wade through the "How to charge" guff, but it doesn't even know what charger you're at.

Tried to use the Evie 22 kW chargers at the Southern Cross Club in Woden, ACT today: completely hopeless, all four (!) plugs said "charging starting" but never actually juiced up. There's somebody on Plugshare complaining about the same issue back in February and zero successful charges since...

Got a mail from Tesla this morning: 118 Bourke Rd is the location of the existing Tesla Alexandria showroom.

Exciting stuff! This will be by far the northernmost SC in Australia, only about 550 km from Cairns. And since it's also out of range for the next one (Rockhampton, 520 km), it's pretty much guaranteed that Mackay, between the two, is next in line.

That's because, like almost everything else in Ethiopia, importing petroleum is limited to an incompetent government monopoly (EPSE). But instead of tackling the actual supply issue, they're hamhandedly trying to cut demand. Remember, this is the same country that's trying to fight inflation...

Ethiopia is a floundering communist dictatorship that's running out of money through economic mismanagement and fighting a whole bunch of wars/insurgencies simultaneously. Forcing an immediate switch to EVs in a country where GDP/capita is under $1000/year and power generation per capita is...

If you apply the "CCS2" filter in the Evie app, it removes all the Chademo crud: And then the map shows the actual count of usable plugs for you: 1⚡, not 2.
