The @Tesla Perth North Supercharger location has now been confirmed comprising six 250kW V3 stalls being installed in the underground car park of the @karrinyupcentre Karrinyup Shopping Centre.

There are now over 15,000 total Tesla in Australia.

One third of them have come in the first half of 2021 🙀

Today, we say hello to WA as we launch the first ultra-rapid station in the state. The expansion of our network is reducing carbon emissions by 50 tonnes every month - the equivalent of more than 25,000 kilos of coal-burning avoided every month: https://t.co/4YdraSeLnk

Important update: The RAC Electric Highway is changing network providers and there may be some service disruptions from June 17. More information: https://t.co/SyZCIHbSGz

After 1.222 days, 100.450 kilometres and 34 countries I reached the end! The end of the world and the end of my journey.
This signpost marks NZ's most southern point Bluff and that's as far as you can go by car. Proud that I made it, sad it's over but excited about the future.

We *do not* want to alarm anyone, but Model 3 is now available to order in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Ireland and Macau at https://t.co/8uVlhvzpu5.

You know what to do: https://t.co/8rUJ8umwU4

Thanks to both @Tesla Superchargers and QLD Electric Super Highway chargers (https://t.co/xx0RcmJpWt) we set our new daily distance record yesterday - 1207 kms!
Brisbane to Toowoomba then up the coast to Rockhampton before heading to Emerald.

[outbacktesla👀 @outbacktesla]

Leaving Clare, SA. Will be at the Adelaide Supercharger at around 12.20 pm today if anyone wants to say hello 🙂

[Transcontinental Tesla @TransOzTesla]

Indeed, as @robrobdean said a while ago, driving an EV across the #Nullarbor is now routine! https://t.co/cRsbBd1Pmi

[outbacktesla👀 @outbacktesla]

Next time you are talking EVs and someone brings up crossing the Nullarbor, let them know EVs can do it with ease! Seriously, one of my easier drives and I know 5 others personally who have done it too. 1000's more soon! 😎

UK Model 3 order page goes live next week, followed shortly thereafter by Japan, Australia, New Zealand & Hong Kong

[Transcontinental Tesla @TransOzTesla]

@ericlindsay On my 2016 trip on AP1 I found the markings in WA excellent, in SA less so, but still good enough for AP 95% of the time.
AP2 in 2017 did an even better job, including on a section of roadworks with no markings at all!

[Transcontinental Tesla @TransOzTesla]

The best thing about using Autopilot on the Nullarbor is that you can let the car take care of keeping itself in the lane, giving you more opportunity to scan the countryside for kangaroos (and emus, wombats, camels etc)

[outbacktesla👀 @outbacktesla]

@eneerhut Trust me, when there are kangaroos jumping out from every nook and cranny, you want your hands on the wheel and both you and AP working together at 100% 🙂
