Fairly sure it will be on the corner of Frederick street and Herbert streets, Artarmon.

Yup, I tried to make a post in this thread with information a few days ago but it has taken awhile to get the account activated and posts moderator approved. Australian HQ looks to be in that location.
2 Herbert St, Artarmon, Sydney
Corner of Herbert and Frederick Streets.
Former North Shore Autogroup. Tesla have updated their jobs website and the locations are now more specific with a service location called 'APAC-AU-NSW-Artarmon_Frederick St.' Plus two more in NSW called 'APAC-AU-Sydney-Retail' & 'APAC-AU-Sydney-Banksmeadow, probably a small office for port receiving and freight and storing cars before they are moved to Sydney or Melbourne.
Other locations are 'APAC-AU-Melbourne+' & 'APAC-AU-Melbourne-Retail'
Large showroom and offices facing Herbert Street with large service centre at rear of site facing Frederick St, lots on onsite parking for cars waiting for delivery, even if they only lease the showroom half of the site it is raised above an open basement carpark.
~500-600 meters from St. Leonards Railway station, close to the Gore Hill Freeway for test drives between two exits and around the local streets.
The showroom is labeled 'Supercar Investments' on google street view as of November 2013 while the service centre out back is Northshore Autogroup, who serviced Daewoo, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Skoda and Great Wall etc.

Me too - unless both motors are smaller & lighter than current versions. If so, then maybe battery reconfiguration also becomes a possibility though probably less likely. One possible drawback - it would complicate battery swap stations in future with the need to stock multiple pack types unless they're all backwards compatible & as announced, the original pack is installed on the return leg.

Here's brianman's post from earlier today about this. Makes a whole lot of sense!

If the front motor is geared higher then it will give higher efficiency at highway speed due to less motor RPM and less back EMF to overcome. Since each motor can be given independent torque commands, it could use the front motor exclusively during highway cruise to improve the efficiency. This could reasonably result in the same full trip average Wh/km as the RWD Model S.

Heard nothing about this. Where did you find it? Obviously in a Westfield, so probably Bondi Junction

It's likely to be more marketing (I heard that car was in Pitt St Mall recently but I couldn't verify it).

Definitely marketing...but maybe a bit more than that looking at the location & trouble to get it in there. Couldn't think of a better place to launch. Uluru maybe.

It was Westfield Sydney City (Pitt Street) - easy to tell with the JP Morgan signage in the shots. It was located on the top floor.
Additional research indicates it was placed there middle of last month and was only there for a short period. Gone now I expect.

Cool - they posted it to Facebook while it is still current newsI need to pick something up from Westfield this week so I'll try to pop by.
I wonder what they are telling people for Sydney deliveries if ordering now?
That would be interesting to know but If there are fence sitters out there I reckon they would be wise to get an order in ASAP. With the AUD having dropped almost 10 percent since the pricing was released Tesla will have to be increasing prices soon.
