Jake was waiting after us to charge in Rockhampton, Queensland.

He’s on his way to get his windscreen repaired or replaced and will finally bid farewell to the “fridge” sticker. He told some stories of people damaging his car, such as jumping on the bonnet (while it was parked) and throwing sharp metal onto the road. Fortunately the Tesla’s sentry cam helped police track down the culprit and the car warned that tyre pressure was dropping. He said there is a lot of car theft in Rockhampton, so he’s thankful for the Tesla security features.

There’s only one fast 50kW DC charger, so he resorted to the slow AC (7kW?) charger, since he carries the required type 2 cable. It was too slow, so he jumped in the DC charger when I was done. RACQ, Chargefox and Mark Bailey MP we need more than one DC charger at each location.
