Arthur goes on a road trip hoping to get through two states with covid infections to visit family as he goes Tesla tripping to Tassie.
Yeppoon gets pretty hot in February, so Arthur Hunt and his wife decided to go on a road trip to visit family in Tasmania in 2021. It’s 2,600 km away. Not only would the distance be an issue, but there was a Covid-19 outbreak in New South Wales and Victoria, through which they would have to travel. So, Tesla tripping to Tassie would be quite the adventure.
The state borders were opened and hopefully would stay that way for the return trip at the end of February. They left home with a nearly full charge and 317 km of range. On the first day, they used the Bruce Highway chargers at Miriam Vale, Gin Gin, and Childers and reached the caravan park at Nanango with 58 km of range left. They plugged into anon the cabin and added 165 km of range overnight — there was no charge for this. This was sufficient to get them to Toowoomba, 140 km away.
On their next leg, they drove to Bathurst, with charging stops using NRMA chargers at Tamworth, Scone, and Mudgee. They arrived at Bathurst with 63 km of range left but found five Tesla Superchargers and one NRMA charger next to the tourist information centre. Perhaps they are getting ready for electric cars in the races at Mount Panorama! At one of the Tesla Superchargers, it took only 40 minutes to add 260 km of range, which cost $17.86.
