When the iPhone says you need a walk

16 Jun 2023 Round Bird

When your iPhone starts telling you that you’ve burnt less kilojoules than previous weeks, it’s time to get out for a walk. The iPhone is so judgy!

We drove out to Lillydale Lake and walked the loop. Beautiful walk on a sunny day.

Lunch at the Round Bird cafe. Delicious hearty veg soup and toasted sandwich.

Charging

The only charger in Lillydale seems to be at Middy's Electrical. There was a Nissan Leaf plugged in when we checked it out. Surprising that there are no other chargers in such a big town Lillydale Council Offices.

Outer eastern Melbourne is poorly served with EV charging.

Enjoying following your adventures, we are picking up our Tesla today ended up getting a Y performance after our S long range was cancelled due to Tesla not making RHD S and X now. Got a great bargain from existing inventory black with white interior.

    John Myers Our white seats have held up well, after 30,000km up and down the east coast. No permanent stains or marks. We give it the occasional vacuum and wet wipe any spots.

    Tesla Tripping yes great advice thank you I have now ordered 4 Teslas the S cancelled Y RWD then transferred to Y LR when it became available then cancelled that one weeks before delivery when the existing inventory performance was reduced. I am getting the car 13k cheaper due to discounted and 3K from Tesla for cancelled Y so lots of savings also on LCT.

  Keith Strib Do all/most Middy's Electrical stores have EV charging?

    Tesla Tripping not sure if it’s an individual franchisee’s decision, or how they operate, but there’s one coming to the store in Bendigo
    Was already listed on PlugShare but not there in March when I was looking for it
    Looking on PlugShare now, there are a few about, including Padstow, Leeton, Shepparton, Wodonga and another in Woolner NT so far with Meadowbank coming soon

    Tesla Tripping. There is a Middys in Hindmarsh, Adelaide and another in Darwin that have AC Destination chargers. Must be a company practice.
