What charger, if any does the M3 come with? Do I need to buy the Gen 3 wall connector to charge it?

Edit: Ignore that, quick google and answer found.

The portable charger you can put into your normal plug socket rather than a wall box they used to include also

Thanks, read. Thanks for the other suggestions above as well. Looks like the Tesla charger is the best and cheapest option for us. I have 3 phase right next to where I want to put a charger.

nzkiwiman:

"From memory" as I wasn't aware of a few apps that I am now aware off.

Was at 95% when I picked up the car
41-61% at Tirau (ChargeNet)
~32- 90% at Taupo (SuperCharger) (Auckland to Taupo was "doable" without any stops but I didn't want to risk it)
? - 90% at Magnaweka (SuperCharger)
? - 90% at Johnsonville (SuperCharger)
Attempted a topup in Blenheim (ChargeNet) but it was a fail - in 33 minutes, gained 5% (was freezing and wasn't able to precondition the car)
40-80% at Kaikoura (ChargeNet)
22-95% at Christchurch (SuperCharger)
? - 90% at Timaru (SuperCharger)
23-61% at Dunedin (ChargeNet) (someone else was waiting so I let them have it)

Can't really remember the percentages that I arrived at some of the SuperChargers, though I suspect it was somewhere in the 30% range as I was going to charge in Amberley before getting to Christchurch, but the car said I would make it with 25% and I decided it was worth the risk. I learnt never to take a cold car and try to charge - the trip to the Blenheim charger was a waste of time and $9.

how did the range compare with the stated range?

easiest would be - how many kms did you drive per unit km predicted by the car?

448km on wltp and you'll get 320-350km in reality on highway.

Bjorn gets close to wltp in Norway but our roads suck. And no one drives like the gov tests require.

So about 75% on a good day.

Anyone in winter in deep south? Would that go down to 50%?

no it wont go down to 50%, you'll lose some to heating,denser air etc but nowhere near that much

Yeah you'll need the Wall Connector if you want to take advantage of the 3 phase supply. Fortunately, the Gen 3 Wall Connector includes an RCD so you don't need to pay the $400 for a Type B RCD ontop of the charger cost.
