@ryanjaycowan Test drove one on sat. Belter.

When you finally spot the new Model 3 Performance 🤤

@sobieski902 What about Chinese vehicle makers with large fleets themselves?

1/6: Tesla already has won the race to autonomy and nobody knows it. Heres why (a 🧵)

@robrobdean @HorizonPower_WA Fun fact - coordination of solar, battery, charger and backup generator is by @jetcharge core energy management system. A lot of testing on this one!!!

@LudicrousFeed Do you reckon the federal government knows they are installing Chinese made chargers at our own Parliament house when there are two companies making them in Australia and didn't even get a chance to do it?

58 EV charging points to be installed throughout Parliament House in Canberra, Australia 🇦🇺 📸B Hart

@LudicrousFeed @Chargefox Lol 920A wtf

322kW at 48% 🤯 That’s crazy fast! @Chargefox

@BridieEV Seems like my brown model s is about to be vintage

Wow… everyone who owns an S or X in Australia just got a value boost no doubt. It’ll be interesting to see where 2ndhand values go from here

@MatthewBevan 10/10 would laugh again

My submission to the Australian defence review:

@itskyleconner @TeslaCharging Hey Kyle I think the US may belong to Tesla but not sure if you've seen the stations in China? They're pretty insane. I always struggle when people talk about monopolies but only have a short time period by which to assess the chances of it happening. This is a 50 year journey

.@TeslaCharging is poised to become the monopoly on high power charging infrastructure. Nobody can match the reliability and insane rollout of this network. Tesla as an energy company is much more exciting, to me, than a vehicle manufacturer.

@donnysmith @icreatelife Love this!

@icreatelife Easily my Lego Land Rover.

Share your best A.I.-generated image of the week.

@ringsau @cvanderstock @jetcharge Agree. But the only thing to keep in mind is that not every site is owned by the relevant charging network... So will be hard for some.

@cvanderstock @EVTimOZ @jetcharge With the Tesla Supercharger network expanding fast with multiple chargers, high reliability and plug and charge ease, these other charging companies will need to match that service level or be second choice charging stops.

@dwhes @cvanderstock @jetcharge Don't worry some are already here and many are coming. To what extent they are enforced though? We'll see.

@cvanderstock @EVTimOZ @jetcharge Good comments from him but sadly we don’t have any government mandates on reliability yet. We 100% need them introduced now. UK already has them. And also reliability won’t improve whilst #shitium chargers continue to be the main ones rolled out here.

@blader Anything physical. Hardware will rule again.

i have been really struggling to figure out what to build today that is going to not be obsolete within 3 years and it’s distressing tbh

@NickPfitzner @auspanda @bobbyllew @jetcharge Awww you should have just interrupted and said hi!

@RahulPrasad74 @LudicrousFeed @CloverMoore Safety and insurance. But I will say one thing: it's the only way to make on street charging viable as a business case without government support IMO. Also, the problem will seem a LOT smaller once public charging infrastructure becomes ubiquitous and robust.

@EVTimOZ @LudicrousFeed @CloverMoore What are the 10% issues that far outweigh the 90% use cases Tim? Public land? Safety? Vandalism?

Thoughts on this for Sydney? @CloverMoore

@LudicrousFeed @CloverMoore More so here than in most cases because Council would be the one who has the insurance but the cost would probably be passed onto the house owner. Almost all scenarios fail because of this.

@EVTimOZ @CloverMoore That's fair, gotta consider almost every scenario before implementation

@therealfoodcafe @FOREVcharging What did you have there beforehand?

We hope its the dawn of a new era for us + our #EV driving customers as we switch to @FOREVcharging 40kw charging power @ 74p/kwh It's been a poor experience to date with lengthy breakdowns, poor comms, + eye watering repair costs. Hopefully, things will be far better now ➡️🚘➡️

@GlenneDrover The fact that it looks like a rising sun over a green field is just *chefs kiss* 👌

100.00% of State demand from solar. South Australia 10:40am today. Sure, only 5 minutes. But it is still impressive. I think it is anyway..

@auto_schmidt Not sure what it's like in Europe but we stamped it out mostly a few years ago in Australia. Guess that's why it would be a big deal here.

@auto_schmidt Wow that's a big call
