I was contacted by a member of the Tesla Owners Club of Australia earlier this year who happened to be chasing my exact config of my Tesla Model X.

It was nearing two years of ownership, and having lost substantial amounts of money on ever car I've ever owned, was made an offer that was too good to resist.

It was a sad day watching it drive off ... but I will be back. I have an order in for a new MX, but don't expect to see that this side of 2023.

Then I saw BYD https://evdirect.com.au/ and decided to get an order in. Would be a good stop gap potentially until Tesla stock and deliveries ramps up again.

Potential delivery in April, so more to report then!

Well this didn't quite go to plan. The 'order ready' came and went ... I had my sights set on something a bit more upmarket!

Same, ended up going with a Model Y Performance instead.

How are you finding the Y? Everything you expected?

Blows me away how many you see on the road now.

      Myenergi Australia - what a joke!

      Zappi itself works great ... it's the software side of things that definitely needs some work. I remain hopeful and continue to work through it.

      Batteries, economical or not?

      By Prof Tournesol · Posted

      We've just bought our second home battery. The first one, a lead acid gel battery, has reached EOL. We've replaced it with 4x 3kWh GenZ LFP batteries. Each module has its own BMS, so if one module fails, the rest of the battery won't - vital when it's an hour and a half drive for our installer to fix the problem. It's connected to our 9kW of roof panels, DC coupled through a Selectronic SP PRO inverter. The system needs to be reliable as it powers our electric pump for our roof sprinklers, but as an added bonus, almost all our power bills are car charging power imports. We have a Tesla EVSE, but it's controlled by an app called ev.energy that only charges when Amber prices are low.

      That's not good to hear; at least the Tesla EVSEs work!
