SNEAK PEEK: Now on Australian roads. SUNDAY on #60Mins, Elon Musk’s self-driving Teslas are here, but are they safe?

[James Ward @jamesphward]

@EvieNetworks @drivecomau Nope. Did not work. Wouldn’t even allow me to acknowledge the charger in the app. I was not the only person unable to charge.

[James Ward @jamesphward]

More disappointment from @EvieNetworks with a charger that says all ready to roll but has no connectivity or access. Have to admit, relying on public charging in Australia is an awful experience. No wonder hybrid sales are booming. Time for an EV charging ombudsman? @drivecomau

@Aercaan @techAU @7NewsMelbourne It’s not. Crash was in April. Car was a 2022 model. Investigation findings just presented. Did you read the story?

[James Ward @jamesphward]

The state of Melbourne taxis is disgusting. Fare refusals. Outrageous quotes. No use of meter. Appalling. Have lists of all cabs that refused @13cabs @VicTraffic @VicGovDTP @VicGovAu @drivecomau

[FIVEAA @1395FIVEAA]

Despite demand incredibly strong, @Toyota_Aus has decided to pull the V8 turbo-diesel model from its LandCruiser 70 Series range due to ‘community expectations’.

@jamesphward from https://t.co/PUpXKsWPZn joined @leithforrest to explain all..

[James Ward @jamesphward]

@HagertyUK Fixed

[James Ward @jamesphward]

Wait. What?

[James Ward @jamesphward]

@CGM_84 @newscomauHQ Haha - no shit!
Oh dear.

[The Project @theprojecttv]

A Cybertruck has been spotted in Sydney for the first time, as Tesla issues a recall on all the vehicles over an accelerator problem.

But with each one costing at least $125,000, are they worth it?

[9News Melbourne @9NewsMelb]

The cost of second-hand electric cars is tumbling much faster than petrol vehicles but does that make them good value? @ChrisKohler #9News

[James Ward @jamesphward]

@ATRightMovies The Tuck Pendleton machine? Zero defects.

[The Project @theprojecttv]

Calls are growing for owners of oversized SUVs and American-style trucks to be charged more for parking because of their safety and environmental impact.

@MartinVicPark @drivecomau Wild. The code hopping software to unlock it is nuts.
