We drove from Erina to Cessnock NSW to pick up Mum, to take her back to our home in…

…Emerald Victoria for a few days.

First stop at Campbelltown Catholic Club for lunch. We’re not Catholics, but our Tesla spent time at the Tesla confessional booth while we ate lunch. Easy to park out the front of the club for Mum to get in the front door with her walker. She marvelled at the robotic assistants that take the dirty dishes back to the kitchen.

Onwards south, past the wind turbines in Breadalbane, to Yass. Stopped for a few minutes for a toilet break and stretch in Yass in Banjo Patterson Park. The autumn leaves are still stunning. Mum plugged in the car to charge and swiped on The NRMA app to start it charging.

There’s also a faster multi bay Tesla Supercharger site up the road in Yass, but it’s not near amenities like this park.

Onwards south to stay tonight in Gundagai.

Charging:

We topped up (48%) the Tesla last night at our accommodation in Erina, while we slept. We topped up (85%) in Campbelltown while we had lunch. And again (29%) for a few minutes while in Yass for a stretch.

But, we don’t have to think about those percentages or calculate anything. We just plug in to charge while we’re parked anyway.

Total time we spent at the chargers: less than two minutes.
