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:
