We hopped in the car, hit Navigation -> Hungry.

Yes, it’s an option! It showed a bunch of places offering food. We headed for Earthly Pleasures Cafe, in Belgrave, up the Puffing Billy Railway line from us in Emerald. Nice country town, also catering for tourists. We passed a random piano labeled “play me” on the pathway, with a musician taking the opportunity. A fitting accompaniment to the Autumn leaves.

I used the car’s reversing camera guide lines to park right up to the curb without scraping it. The vision cameras showed the parking lines, except the one in front, since the windscreen camera couldn’t see it over the bonnet. When we got out of the car, I noticed that the car had heaps of space in front. I used the “Summon” function of the Tesla iPhone app to drive the car forward half a meter, like a remote control car.

It will be interesting to see how the newer Teslas do better at parking, since they now have an added camera under the front bumper.

We worked off the eggs florentine with a quick walk at the Birdsland Reserve, a few kilometers away near Upwey.

Charging:

We plugged in yesterday evening, after being out most of the day. We could have charged up over night, but I prefer to charge from solar. The car charged a little before we left, and continued when we came home today. All free energy from the sun ☀️.
