Today 18th July 2020 was one of those rare days where there was no one swimming in Tuncurry Rockpool baths, even for mid winter.
This is normally a very popular pool for winter swimmers however this shot was taken after lunch and most swimmers tend to use the pool in the mornings after which they enjoy a coffee at the Rockpool Cafe just behind my vantage point.
This was something of a special day for my 97 year old father who we had brought here today to meet with family and his many grand and great grandchildren after having attended the funeral a few days prior of his wife of 73 years (July 16th 2020).
One of my sons was in attendance and had come along in his Tesla Model 3 electric car. Someone suggested he take my father for a drive in the car, which is not necessarily an achievable objective due to the difficulty of getting him down into the low profile seats in the Tesla Model 3.
Nevertheless he was up for the challenge and managed to spend a good couple of hours driving around some local beaches with my son at the wheel and often with the car on auto pilot.
At 97 he remembers well the first car ever to drive into Nabiac and here he is all these years later experiencing the incredible technology of a Tesla 3 Performance.
His reaction was of course predictable in that he was blown away by the technology and the experience. He has not stopped talking about how wonderful his day has been and how fortunate he has been to have lived such a long life.

On my way to Sydney yesterday I called in on my son before heading down to the impressive Newcastle Foreshore where we were to have lunch to celebrate his wife's birthday at the Signal Box Restaurant.
On the way he demonstrated the Tesla’s ability to steer itself, recognise stop signs, red lights and many other features too numerous to mention. The crazy acceleration capability of the car was also a bit scary.
Some time ago he purchased the full self driving box of tricks, not cheap but a lot cheaper than that capability will be in the near future.
The new features coming to Tesla cars keep rolling out and every time I take a ride in the car it has new capability by way of regular computer updates.
With parking at an absolute premium in the foreshore area on a beautiful sunny Newcastle Sunday he pulled into this EV charging station very close to the restaurant where he could add charge to the car while we dined. This was particularly advantageous as no other parking spots were available anywhere nearby.
One capability of the Tesla that my son explained was that his car, driverless, is capable at a command from his phone of driving itself out of the carpark and picking him up at at another location. My understanding however is that current road rules in Australia only permit this to happen in public or commercial carparks.
He also explained that the Tesla is capable of auto parking itself in very tight parking situations, a capability he said that is superior to his physically parking the vehicle himself.
While I was at the restaurant my son pointed out the black poles along the foreshore and explained their purpose.
Newcastle City Council has installed these poles with the plan to take Newcastle into the cyber future. The poles record video for security of course but they are capable of supporting so much more than electronic surveillance alone.
He explained that the poles are capable of collecting an amazing range of data, including pedestrian movement patterns, wind speed, rain monitoring, traffic flow and many other applications which I am not knowledgeable enough about to elaborate here at this time.
Forward thinking Newcastle City Council will make the data available to specific users who develop applications capable of utilising it for their own commercial purposes. By way of example he explained that The Signal Box Cafe might consider developing an app using the city council data relating to volume of traffic in the immediate vicinity. This data could be used to anticipate clientele using the cafe which in turn could enable better employment and stock management.
Another application which could evolve quickly is an available parking space app. Newcastle already has a digital parking payment system in place. Of course longer term its likely passenger transport services like Uber will become much more widely utilised in efforts to reduce traffic volumes in congested city centres.
Newcastle will be a forerunner in the deployment of all these technologies which may well revolutionise business practices in ways that are to date not yet thought of.

In early September 2019 the first shipments of the long awaited Tesla Model 3 autonomous electric vehicle began arriving in Australia.
All Tesla cars come standard with auto pilot, full self-driving capability and driver assistance features such as emergency braking, collision warning and blind-spot monitoring.
With the next software update, the cars will recognise and respond on autopilot to speed signs, traffic lights and stop signs. A number of other autonomous features will also be available by the end of 2019.
This white Tesla 3 Performance, pictured above is my sons car. He picked it up in Sydney on September 28 2019. Apparently if he had not been there at the pre-arranged time the car would have been allocated to someone else and he would have gone back on the waiting list.
Today Boxing Day 2019 I had my first opportunity to drive this amazing vehicle. Apart from being whisper quiet the technology is unbelievable and the acceleration from 0 to 100km hour in 3.4 seconds is breathtaking.
The standard car with various options he had ordered was unavailable on the day so Tesla upgraded him free of charge to a Performance Long Range vehicle. His car had been ordered well over 3 years previous to the delivery and his great patience has been rewarded with an amazingly sleek and seriously impressive, and in the end, upgraded vehicle.
The stylishly sleek low profile Standard Tesla Model 3 has a battery range of 460km (real life more like 350km), a top speed of 225kph and at 5.6 seconds 0 to 100km it has scary acceleration that throws you back hard against the seat.
The Standard Model 3 will retail for Au$67,900.
There are two other models being made available in Australia.
Long Range Standard (620km -233kph-4.6 seconds) (Au$85,900)
Performance (560km - 233kph-3.4 seconds) (Au$92,900)
When one gets into the car the first thing you notice, apart from the comfort of the seats and the sleek tinted glass roof, is the total simplicity of the dash. There is no instrumentation on the dashboard, just a large computer screen which literally does everything. It allows you to conveniently update the cars autonomous and standard driving mode software, make phone calls, use maps and play music. I'm not sure yet but its probably set up for voice command also.
Charging is carried out at Tesla's rapidly expanding network of Australian charging stations or at home through an adapted power point.
Recently I saw that the Tesla Model 3 has become the top selling car in the Netherlands.
It will be interesting to see how rapid its adoption will be in Australia given Australian's record as a world leader in transitioning to new technologies.
It will not be a surprise if the take-up is quite fast, despite our current conservative federal government's best efforts to dampen down all enthusiasm for anything not powered by fossil fuels.
The Tesla Version 10 Update was released on 26th September 2019

He wan not OCD. He took an oath not to tell of the three.

I've seen dozens of Tesla Model S and many Tesla Model X vehicles, but this is the first Tesla 3. Of course, they just did start selling them.
