TESLA AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE NEWS UPDATE ROUNDUP AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

This episode of Ludicrous Speed Live covers a range of Australian EV news, with a particular focus on charging infrastructure and Tesla updates. The hosts discuss Victoria's new $2.2 million funding for charging projects, including apartment and street light pole charging, noting it as a small consolation after the removal of EV subsidies. Significant attention is given to Tesla's Model 3 'Highland' update, with confirmation that Australia is receiving it before the US and discussion around the implications for existing order holders, including potential forced upgrades. The F-150 Lightning sighting in Brisbane and the opening of Tesla Superchargers to non-Tesla EVs (with mixed charging speed reports) are also highlighted. The review touches on the increasing used Model 3 listings and speculates on future performance variants. Overall, the episode provides a comprehensive, albeit sometimes speculative, look at the evolving EV landscape in Australia.
