Tasmania is the size of a postage stamp after all and so you can drive the full length of it with one charge of an LR or Performance Model 3. Considering the awesome touring potential and beauty of the place, I think that destination chargers are a far more useful and important thing to have there. Since you are unlikely to drive more than about 300-400km in a day anyway, being able to get to a destination and just charge up over night would be awesome.Well only around 8 people live in Tasmania making it pretty easy but theres always a silver lining!
On the other hand it is a beautiful place so it will be really nice to drive through.
Unfortunately there is a grand total of zero superchargers in Tassie so it might make it a bit slow but theres other alternative charging methods too.
I believe Chargefox is doing some work down there shortly too.

That said, I think that this applies to the mainland as well. For regular holiday touring for example, running 300-400km/day is a nice relaxed pace. If every motel had destination charging, we could spend literally no time charging at all on our trips. Sure Supercharging is great for those long days (I for one have often driven more than 1500km in a day), but beyond a certain density on major highways, are of far less utility. We don't need to saturate the inner city with them for example, just have them on the major routes in and out of each city.
Just like the rest of Australia they forgot that Tasmania existed, discovered them after using sophisticated technology called Google Maps and did them last.
Wouldn't that be life-endangering for you and other road users?(I for one have often driven more than 1500km in a day),
Exactly the experience I have been having. If I park in the sun, then auto setting for cooling is way too weak, always the top side of the car temperature where my head is, appears to be uncomfortably warm and radiating heat from above, then if I turn AC manually to about twice as fast fan speed, it all gets nice in about a minute. I was thinking that once the roof shades come available accessories, I might get those and see if I feel less heat glare from the roof when the car parks in the sun. If I get in the car on sunny day after parking in the sun for a few hours, that roof appears to be really hot and radiating heat even after the AC starts blowing cold air.Agree. Not sure if the glass is the culprit though, or if the 'Auto' mode just isn't aggressive enough with the cooling. If I'm starting from the garage it tends to do well. But if I park the car outdoors around midday and then get back in the AC is all like:
It never seems to kick up the fan speed to deal with the excess heat. Doesn't seem like a temperature setting thing, as if I manually dial up the fan speed it'll cool down the car quick enough. It just seems too reluctant to do that on its own.
Has anyone got their deposit back after taking delivery? I paid in full because the invoice listed deposit refund for whatever reason, and didn't want to delay things any further because they said it would be hard to fix. Was told the deposit automatically refunds back.

FINALLY !!!!!!
Ok, got a response from Tesla:
Sorry for the confusion – the event is Thursday 10th of October.

Not really. You get used to it. Long distance driving is about pacing yourself, correct diet, resting when tired and practice. Avoiding driving beyond your normal wake/sleep cycle is also critical.Wouldn't that be life-endangering for you and other road users?
That sounds like the plastic cowl cover is not installed correctly or loose. Open the bonnet and remove and replace the cover directly under the windscreen.It's finally here! What a beautiful car!

Delivered 10/10/19
VIN 5036
Odo 7km
Arrived with 87% charge
Fit and finish is amazing. There was a scrape on the plastic trim under the right side of the car however.
It was on the top above the driver on the Carways truck, so the rear is splattered with bugs. Will need a good wash. Unfortunately the wall connector is missing. Tesla will be sending me one.
One odd thing which I hope someone here can help me out with before I contact Tesla. I accidentally turned on the wipers while driving, and now above 80km/h there is this flapping/tapping rattle noise coming from directly in front of the driver's seat. This noise goes away when operating the wipers however. Anyone else come across this?

I'll give that a go tomorrow! Thank you!That sounds like the plastic cowl cover is not installed correctly or loose. Open the bonnet and remove and replace the cover directly under the windscreen.
I popped through the one in Brisbane at just about 1PM. There place was somewhat busy, so they were all hands on deck. Had a chat with a few employees and was hoping to talk to someone from maintenance about a few software bugs, but turns out maintenance is not on site and needs to be logged through the car or phone app and the people there had about as much knowledge/information as I did on those matters.Did anyone go to the symposium thing today?
I popped into Martin Place around 2:30pm and there was nothing going on, and only one member of staff who was busy.
