We own two Teslas and one PW3 and have a Roadster and Cybertruck on order. But I can give up at any time.

Model Y vehicles now make up the emergency response fleet for MelSafe in the City of Melville, Western Australia.

The city reports around $50,000 USD in annual savings from fuel and maintenance, while also reducing emissions. The vehicles are deployed 24/7 on 12-hour rotations.

@Ryandally08 @OcarinaJones Grok advises:
No, the claim is not accurate as stated. It mixes facts with exaggeration, misrepresents the timeline, and wrongly attributes the decision primarily to the Albanese Government while adding unverified details.......

@RobGrieves @DickyChap @abcnews Legacy media wonder why readers are stopping listening to their reporting " of what our readers want to hear" instead of doing good research and reporting the facts without bias.
At least with X all sides of every issue are canvassed, and Grok does a pretty good unbiased summary.

@GusLefty @SpectatorOz The capacity factor for solar PV is only ~ 35% , since it is only at full capacity around midday and is zero overnight. Therefore 3X solar is required, plus the huge cost of storage for overnight demand, plus transmission and grid upgrades. So energy costs are actually rising.

@Mayella09476043 Thousands of lives would have been saved if Hamas had accepted the deal in May 2024. They have only accepted now because of Trump's threat that all hell would break loose if Hamas hadn't agreed to release them by the time he became President.

@elonmusk Please at least ban or add cautionary notes to Russian and Chinese dis-information posts. You must know who they are.

@Solar_Quotes @ProfRayWills Why don't solar suppliers tell you can buy power from the grid at 8c/kWh when the sun shines in WA, so home battery are better financially than solar PV?
Sufficient batteries reduce the maximum cost of power to 8c/kWh but Solar PV only saves this last 8c/kWh.

[TeslaFuelFree @TeslaFuelFree]

@DickyChap @ShackelWill Yes, SMRs would firm the grid when there has been insufficient solar and wind. Their cost should therefore be compared with the cost and availability of storage (eg Hydro, Batteries, Stationary Hydrogen). Imagine the uproar if consumers cannot turn on their ACs after sunset.

@cvanderstock Of course it is. Regen is not 100% efficient ( maybe 80% in a Tesla). We used that technique on our first trip to Broome in 2016, because the S85 range was only about 350kms and no charging stations ( just sockets).

[TeslaFuelFree @TeslaFuelFree]

Now enjoying the ubiquitous DC chargers on the East coast, instead of AC charging at our accommodation overnight from Perth to Cairns.

[TeslaFuelFree @TeslaFuelFree]

We are now arrived in Port Douglas, our furthest point from Perth, and 8150 kms into our trip round Australia.
Here is a summary so far.

[TeslaFuelFree @TeslaFuelFree]

We have crossed the border into Queensland at Camooweal nearly half way on our drive round Australia. Exciting 447 kms from ThreeWays against a strong headwind but we made it with 43 kms in the tank.

[TeslaFuelFree @TeslaFuelFree]

@robrobdean My S100D looks pretty good too 😁

[TeslaFuelFree @TeslaFuelFree]

We have driven nearly one third of the way round Australia from Perth and have reached Darwin, charging predominantly at our destination each night (it only takes 10 seconds to plug in, and it is full by the morning).
Currently at a great location with three vacant Tesla HPWCs.

[TeslaFuelFree @TeslaFuelFree]

@electricfelix Definitely support all legacy companies trying to make the switch to EV charging. We should be helping them change, not hindering them.

[TeslaFuelFree @TeslaFuelFree]

@Chargefox Thanks @Chargefox and @horizon
We tried it out a couple of days ago as we passed through Broome on our way Round Australia.

[TeslaFuelFree @TeslaFuelFree]

This is our first rest day on our drive round Australia in our S100D. We started a week ago in Perth and are now re-charging both the car and ourselves at Eco Beach Resort near Broome.

@ProfRayWills Tesla M3, MS now and Cybertruck to come
