Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[SHAUN MENDEZ]

I just got a call from Canberra DC, I no longer have my pickup for next Tuesday as they don't know when it's arriving in Canberra.. a bit of a bummer.

She did mention when it arrives it'll be good to go the next day and doesn't require rectification work. So it either has had it done in Sydney or Paganella vehicles had the correct parcel shelf fitted already.

Yeah there is a lack of any news coming from PK regarding cars getting transported from Paganella.

I hope there aren’t any issues with quarantine keeping the cars there

Bit annoying when they text, email advising payment is due.. but then cancel and can't tell you when you may be rescheduled. My offset account be hurtin.

Did the sparky wire up the 5pin 32A outlet with single or three phase?

If single phase, did they loop all 3 live pins together? Because the 5-pin outlet is typically meant for hooking up with three-phase power.

Three phase.

Mine was on the Paganella, got the delivery text this morning. So there’s at least a little bit of progress.

My house is single phase and I asked if they can do a 5-pin socket because I heard of some people doing that so they only need to buy the 5-pin tail for 3-phase out and about and single phase socket at home. He said they couldn't do it and house had to be three phase for the 5-pin socket, sounded like it was out of spec/regulation otherwise.

I have 10Amp power socket just at the right place in driveway. No need for an extension cable. But 10Amp is slow and I have a lot more electricity produced, which is currently fed back to the grid at 8c/kW.

Feed that excess electricity to me for 9c. Getting it to me is also your issue

How many USB power banks to charge a Tesla?

 

[dronus]

I put my EV rebate forms in too. Lets see if i nuts that up and how long it takes.

Honestly I don't know how the electrician is going to connect it up but, on the inChargeX site (where we can buy the 32A tail) is says:

(The installation of a 5-pin 32A outlet as a single phase in a single-phase home is fully compliant with Australian law. We have received official confirmation from Energy Safe Victoria on this matter. If any electricians/customers have doubts about the legality of such an installation, they should promptly consult their respective state energy safe technical support government department for confirmation.)

I guess I need to make sure this also applies to NSW.

Yeah, just dont hook up all the phases. Just the one you see hooked up in the plug.

Rookie..

Gotta say nothing, then call in the AM to report that you're pooping every 15 minutes and can't make it to work.
You wrecked yourself by asking for the day off - forgiveness is always easier to obtain than permission!

Nobody ever questions excessive pooping

No issues getting one set up here in NSW- I have single phase and charging using a 32a 5 pin.

 

[FilthyCyberRat]

Picked up my LR ultra red car from Alexandria NSW yesterday. The place was packed with cars. No build issue on the car I can see. Everything looks great so far

Hurrah! i collected mine last week so i will keep an eye out for you around NSW

This is what i have, its a good bit of kit.

 

[SpokenFour]

Paid all my final invoice so just waiting for delivery. Spoke to them this afternoon and still sitting in PK awaiting logistics.. At least everything should be lined up now.

 

[sishome]

But then isn't it quarterly offset that is charged. So essentially it doesn't matter how much time you took to fill the car up but how much total you used yourself out of the total, Right?

Sure, but what matters is time to charge those 100km back. In the case of 10A socket it is 7 hours, but with 32A it is only 2 hours.

 

[sishome]

If single phase, did they loop all 3 live pins together?

That would be a disaster.
