Everyone seems to be getting their letter/cheques so thought I'd follow up if I missed a letter. Called Friday and they had me confirm bank statements and payments and jumped through every hoop to be told mine was eligible but hadn't been looked at yet and they'll get to it when they're ready...

Anyone else still waiting on their letter?

A Stawell gift for Christmas.

👍🏼👍🏼

Don’t worry, someone will build the piece of 💩 you’re asking for.

Not sure I understand the thinking putting them within a paid parking car park...

I'm not disagreeing with you @Quickst just expressing 'thumbs down' to that outcome. The amount they collected isn't huge and affects a small number of people so should be easier than trying to figure out refunding an excise paid by a huge amount of people. What gets me from that quote is that...

Yay!! Looking forward to my refund cheque with interest.

But why?

I've been following the Moorabool Council EV charger situation for years(!) now as am a rate payer and have heard of many proposals get shot down to the point I'd completely given up on it happening here due to the ignorance of the councillors and small minded insular politics that goes on...

Council didn’t want it to work with only one car brand. Different story now.

Righto, well there was supposed to be a supercharger site built at the newly constructed Hungry Jacks / EG Ampol just off the Western Hwy in Bacchus Marsh. A couple of years back Tesla offered to build a charger and was part of the plan but was later rejected as at that time would only charge...

Did a drive by last night, couple of guys working on it. Don’t get out that way often but feels like Lucas area growing quickly.

Rollout has felt glacial over the years but feels like is kicking into a new phase lately.

Nice, I wasn't aware it was going to be that big. Will be the new winner then. 👍

Small? 12 spots would make it equal biggest in the southern hemisphere with Box Hill. I have a feeling all new sites from now on though will be 8 and up. My kids used to play spot the Tesla, not anymore.

Ooh, excellent location and would open up Central Gipplsland area in a big way. I hope it happens!

Agree! Gotta take the wins when you get them. If you wait long enough I guess anything can happen. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This one was a nice surprise. No hints and it just popped up a few weeks ago on PlugShare. It’s in a pretty good location, close to Coles, Kmart, JB HiFi, Mall etc. I was hoping for one in Echuca but Shepp will do too. I was surprised this location has 6 spots, will rarely need that many here...

Excellent! I might have to go test it out tomorrow. 👍🏼

My reply to this post the other day was just to give the OP an insight into my own experience with weighing up this question, didn’t want to start a debate about what is better. So just to clarify if I had unlimited funds, would get AWD, but as I didn’t and I went with RWD, and never had any...

Not worth it. (IMO) I remember sweating over this when I purchased my S in 2016 and ended up going for RWD and don’t regret saving the money for a second. I changed my mind many times, thinking I’d be future proofing, maybe better resale, regret not getting the higher tier option or it’ll be...

Ha, that's funny. Did you get an update for it to change? So weird. Do you guys have connection problems, ie connecting to the vehicle via the app? My app will only connect if the car is charging or was awake for some reason. Has been like that since I had installed back in July. I'm thinking...

Hey @EcoCloudIT does your wife‘s X have a new MCU2?

Yep, not for me. The charge screen is just a basic white screen with only start/stop, amp selection and scheduled charging with no graphic or way to set a charge limit and start charging. Phone is the only way I can do it currently.

Home from holiday and updated Model S with upgraded MCU2, am I crazy but is the charge screen missing now? How do you set the charge % in car? Only possible in app? Can't seem to find any similar experiences from anyone online, maybe just an upgraded MCU2 issue? Bah!

Hey @Jimat I recently upgraded to the MCU2 and having a lot of connection issues, but I don’t think it’s the 4G module. 80% of the time the app doesn’t wake the car in my garage, and we live 800m from a Telstra 4G tower and wifi at home. Also while driving it regularly disconnects from the...

Yep, Traralgon in my opinion would have been the preferred option, and probably Teslas too as it's still listed as Traralgon on the future supercharger map. The Moe Chargefox cables have been vandalised a couple of times apparently, you can bet the Tesla site in the middle of town will be a...

Mildly entertaining to read the comments on that Morwell Noticeboard page. :rolleyes:

You’d think Traralgon (Moe??) wasn’t far away if they’re confident enough to update as Q3 when we’re coming up to halfway through Q3 already. 🤞🏼

This‘ll show ‘em!

Me too. Tesla were targeting Q2 for Traralgon, which has come and gone so hoping is next on the agenda for them and not far away.

Tesla supercharger map has been updated to now show Q2 ETA for Geelong. Others pending in Vic don’t appear to have been bumped which is a good sign they’re on track I hope.

Thought I’d swing past for a look, work well underway! 👌🏼

I was there about 2 weeks ago sniffing around and no sign of anything as yet. Not much left of Q1, wouldn’t it be great if it comes online next week and takes us by surprise in some off the radar location. (Yes, Friday drinks for me started early this afternoon. Cheers!🍺)

Hehe, yep. And surely the Q1 estimates would be the ones they’d be most confident of happening on time. I’ve been waiting on Torquay/Geelong since I first had a test drive half a decade ago.

Hey @Vegas glad your MCU2 upgrade went well, I'm hoping for the same! I have a 2016 Model S with AP1 and have just booked a MCU2 upgrade in a couple of weeks. Did your upgrade give you Sentry mode? I asked a Tesla tech and he said yes, but have seen others say no because not compatible with...

Yep, Barrabool Hills is my preference too. Closer to the Hwy and more amenities, seems more practical. Could see it here though. Hopefully we’ll find out soon which is great!

Works happening. Got a big thumbs up and a wave from girl in highvis when I want past which was fun. :)

Was in the area today so thought I'd go check out the spot under the pin on Tesla's map. Looks like a likely location to me...

Was passing through Geelong today and decided to visit Barrabool Hills Plaza to see if there was any hints of the previously rumoured charger site that could pop up. Nothing happening as far as I could tell. Not sure why I checked, I think I’m just mentally preparing for the annual bumping back...

We have a winner. Very nicely done.

That would be nice wouldn't it! I had thought we'd see them get a few of these done and ready for Model 3 / Y, but nah.

I'm hoping the Barrabool Hills Plaza site is the spot @Chuq, seems like a great location for it. I'll be over that way in a couple of weeks so will take a look.

Aw, I saw there was some activity here and I thought we might all be heading back to Hornsdale. That was fun. :)

Agreed!

And they installed for you @ShockOnT? That's a bargain. I had looked at just getting the filter @JayTee and doing it myself but would like the software update for the Bioweapon option in the MCU and imagine would need to be done by a tech.

I got a quote to get the bioweapon defence filter retrofit done at the Richmond service centre last Nov on a 2016 updated nose model S. They were asking $860 installed, decided it was a bit exy. @ShockOnT was the $350 including installation? Seems like a no brainer at that price.
