As others have noted your cable is only single phase so 16A x 1 Phase gets you 3kW effective into the battery. An 11kW charger is wired at 16A for each of the 3 phases. Only "22kW" AC chargers are actually wired at 32A for each phase. Given you have a Trophy ER you could have got 11kW (10kW...

Yes. I have my Chargefox card also linked to my Evie account. You could use your Opal Card (if you're in NSW) or any other RFID card if you know its number. There's an app for Android phones that lets you scan a card and find its number. I haven't tried it yet but will soon as I need to set my...

That's very likely to work. I was looking for something like that but eventually just got the "known works" Braumach. It'd be good if you still went to the wrecker and found out for sure:D However, a space saver is a lot more practical than a full size spare.

I think so but would love to know for sure. How about you pop on around to the wrecker and get them to put it on one of the front wheels (they're the potential problem) to see. You'd be doing us a community service ;) If it doesn't, I can suggest the Braumach 18" space saver spare. It's what I...

Nope, no alternative. Anyone need a black back badge?

Needs fangs...

Phew! Nigh on $500 seems a bit steep to me. I can't justify that. My gear fits under the boot "floor" where the "repair" kit is stored. Charger + 10A extension cord, Type 2 cable, spare tyre tools & windscreen cleaner all catered for. Aftermarket struts? Nah, the standard bonnet holder works...

BTW - Where did you get that frunk? TIA

BTW I can report that the Vodafone coverage (that our Aussie cars connect via) has dramatically improved. As a long time Vodafail user I've become accustomed to where to expect mobile connectivity to be functionally usable. On the "long trip" there used to be some pretty large dead spots even...

Ahh, so it looks like V4 chargers support "contactless" NFC credit cards rather than RFID cards. That would work for me, but the vast majority of Tesla chargers here in Australia are still V2, V3 AFAIK. Darn it. Mobile comms here can be pretty bad.

You bet. Chargefox and Evie both support charge initiation via an RFID card. I always use it in preference to the app. Much more convenient and reliable. I really wish Tesla would support it but I don't believe most (all?) have the hardware support. I've never seen a spot to tap a card... One...

My apologies for casting nasturtiums... I was a tad emotional! That being said, you gotta love "features", especially undocumented ones:ROFLMAO:

Funny you should mention that :cool:

"A Stressful incident"... I think I've uncovered a bug with the GOM. I know, who would have thought :LOL: Sooo, in the Hay to Wagga Wagga leg of my recent long trip coming back I had 265km to travel from a 80% SoC start. On the open road with no surrounding cars at 110kmh this is actually...

Great to hear. If I ever manage to break the GOM again and not be able to DC fast charge I'll be trying this out!
