Tesla has been rolling our V4 Superchargers internationally, but today we learn that Albury, NSW will be the first location in Australia to get access to the faster, newest generation chargers. Credit to @SPadival and Jules Boag for discovering their location, on the first floor carpark of the Commercial Club, 618 Dean St, Albury. The site is said to have at least 9 Superchargers, but...

Australian clean energy tech start-up Bow Charging is searching for Sydney beta testers for it's online service that connects electric car drivers with no home charging (like me!) to nearby rooftop solar homes for a cheap and clean charge. Charging hosts are required to have rooftop solar, accessible parking and ideally they are located in convenient locations near business hubs, commuter parking or other day...

When the Tesla Cybertruck was unveiled back in 2019, the pricing was announced as starting at US$39,990 for the Single Motor RWD. Today at the Cybertruck delivery event, Elon Musk confirmed the starting price would actually be US$60,990 and while that's an increase, it is somewhat understandable, given the inflation that has occurred since that announcement.

Transport for NSW and JOLT today unveiled the first new charging site in Penrith on the Great Western Highway, close to Penrith Railway Station, the TAFE campus, and Westfield Penrith. Further chargers will be installed in Cronulla and Oatley...

Architecturally this release is built differently. Tesla started their autonomous efforts by using mostly human-crafted code which we can think of as a series of if this, then that loops. Over the years, an...

The highly anticipated Version 12 of Tesla FSD software is being rolled out to employees, an important first step before the release reaches the public. Overnight, 'not a tesla app' posted an exclusive story that FSD v12, build number 2023.38.10. They sighted a 'trusted source' which we wouldn't typically put too much confidence in, however, Musk has since replied on X, confirming this is...
