Has anyone managed to get the Cybertruck refund process to work on Android? I get stuck looping between confirming the addition of a back account and the "choose account" screen. I have the latest app as far as I can see. – at Wonga Park, Victoria
I wonder what was going through the mind of the developer at A Better Route Planner who created this amazing charging chart? Very detailed Y axis! – at Goondiwindi, Queensland
This is an excellent step. Mercator projection is bearing preserving, so is vital for old-school navigation, but it makes countries near the equator look tiny, and northern Europe and Canada look gigantic.

If Israel has guaranteed and non-revokable "right of return" for Jews, and Federal Parliament requires all right to foreign citizenship to be revoked, how can we have any Jewish parliamentarians? – at Wonga Park - South, Victoria
Had an excellent chat with @neerav Bhatt regarding charging infrastructure. Well worth a watch if you are curious about the current state, and where things are going!

Scientists can neither confirm nor deny the involvement of time-travelling misfits with powerful mental powers with a goal to kill as many giant aliens as possible. IYKYK

Amazing progress on Starship thermal protection. With the V2 ship the plasma would have been filled with sparks of ablating material and on earlier ships we might have even been seeing burn through by now. Ad Astra!
Tesla navigation really struggles with this intersection in Croydon, Victoria. Green is the correct route, Red is what it used to do, today, it tried to take me on the blue! Does anyone else have problematic intersections in their area?
Does anyone else find it ironic that the energy-dense batteries that underpin the EV transition also enable the portable power tools that petty criminals and climate deniers use to steal cables from EV chargers? – at Wonga Park - South, Victoria
Sparking up at the chargo. @originenergy @Sungrow_Power site at Torquay, Victoria. Quite a long handshake, but settled into a good charge rate once we got going. – at Torquay - Jan Juc, Victoria
By the way, credit for "chargo" goes to @moylecroft. I think that we need a proper Aussie slang word to make EVs more appealing to the masses. I just wish that there were more chargos that could sell you a sausage roll! – at Wonga Park - South, Victoria
It is not often that you see a tripling of capacity at a public charging station. @TeslaCharging upgraded their Colac, Vic site from a 3 stall V3 to a 10 stall (4,3,3) setup. Site power up from 250kW to 750kW. Great to see. – at Wonga Park - South, Victoria

The Liberal and National parties never miss an opportunity to betray the nation and deny us sovereign independence from unreliable foreign powers. Shame on them.

This site would do wonders for the cross-country route. I always vote to extend the reach of EV drivers. – at Wonga Park - South, Victoria
Please help @TeslaAUNZ @TeslaCharging to cross the Nullarbor with Superchargers by suggesting Eucla as an upcoming Supercharger Voting location by following the video below:
Today we look at utilisation of public EV charging infrastructure in Australia over the last 18 months. The data is categorised by "Remoteness" a measure created by researchers at the University of Adelaide and widely used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. 1/3
From the chart we can see that:
- The further you are away from a capital city, the lower the utilisation (duh!)
- The average utilisation of metropolitan charging infrastructure is around 14%
- Across all levels of Remoteness, utilisation is trending upwards
Did you know that over 1.3 DC charging sites will open per day throughout 2026? More details in the linked post.
