Good to hear from you guys again. We recently took our MY LR from Canberra to Adelaide and back with an overnight in Bendigo. The motel had overnight free charging. My memories of supercharging along the way was that the charging was too quick! We seemed to always be rushing to finish meals because I’d invariably get a msg that the car was charged up and ready to go before we had finished lunch.
Glad to see you both had a super easy supercharger! No matter what people say, Tesla is currently best in class for EVs from a tech point of view and ease of use! Looking forward to your road trip video! Don't forget a type 2 cable for the trip for those free AC chargers you might find!
Yes we bought along a type 2 cable. Checked out a couple of different types of chargers, on the trip across. As for cross country travelling Tesla smashes it.
I am surprised the charge door isn't on the driver's side of the vehicle, and those DC plugs are huge compared to the NACS port on North American Teslas.
Excellent! The Tesla has to be the easiest EV to charge. A breeze. I don’t need to ask you how happy you are with it. I’m still driving my Leaf, and by the way things are going it’s going to outlive me. But, if I do get a new EV someday down the road, it will be a Tesla. By then, the range will be a thousand miles with a 10 minute charge time. 👍😊
Yeah it's a bit annoying. These episodes are filmed months in Advance. Hopefully a new referral program will come out soon offering new buyers discounts ? Hopefully referral program codes will remain the same.

We have a CBR to ADL trip coming up in the next video.

Yes they are a lot larger than NACS plugs.
Europe, Australia, NZ, etc have stuck with the CCS2 plug
Good to see you guys back again and with a new EV.
Thanks Crud.
:)
Turns out it was quicker to start the charge than parking the car! Who said it will never catch on? Lol
Yes Pangit, it is very easy.
The Car is the Card.
Plugin and walk away

Totally agree!
The Tesla might even out live me.
Yes imagine a Real World Range of 1600km.
You never know.
