I think even if they prioritise existing owners and Tesla staff, the pool of potential buyers is still small and I can imagine the ordering process being opened up pretty quickly for non-owners but early reservation holders. Yep. At current production rates, Tesla could almost fill the entire Australian order book in 1 week. Tesla also needs the cash! If they do a selective invitations to configure (and I don’t think they will - it will be all comers), there will be about 3 hours between each wave of invites  |

And speaking of the Hyundai Kona, who’s seen the cool “Kona Electric” ad on TV? I think it’s especially great, during an election campaign in which the Coaliton completely embarrassed themselves with their ignorance on EVs  |

Only one more sleep till we pick up our red Kona Elite. Still slightly in shock spending so much on a car.  We'll be a two EV family for the next month or two, as I wait on the battery replacement under warranty and then sell the Leaf, to help fund the Kona. I still love my Leaf, haven't felt much attached to a car before.  |

 Wow, 3 1/2 weeks with the Kona already, time for an update. Really enjoying driving it, very strong regen with three options to select from. Lovely to drive around without range anxiety, although that's eased off with the Leaf since last week since getting the new battery. Quite a powerful car. The only two things I'm adjusting to compared to the Leaf is that the ride/suspension isn't as smooth as the Leaf, and the boot is much smaller. Loving the smart cruise control - drove to the Gold Coast last week, and being in the usual traffic jam was a lot less stressful. One of those luxury car features that is starting to filter down. |

That is great to hear! Congrats on your new EV.
What is your charging situation like? Have you had to change or upgrade your home charger due to be Kona?
Cheers,
David
