Out of coffee charge, in Nabiac

We left Bulahdelah fully charged, but ran out 30 minutes later in Nabiac. Ran out of coffee charge, that is – the car was fine 😉.
Charging
While Francis “recharged” with caffeine, I thought I’d try out the NRMA charger in town. We have used it in a couple of previous trips. But I figured I’d try NRMA new app and payment, since they’re moving them all from being free.
At first I thought it might be broken because the charging cable was left on the ground. I put it away, back in the machine, before electrons spilled everywhere, needing a toxic cleanup 😉. I plugged it into our Tesla, which then just said “ready to charge”, so I figured I needed to set up payment in The NRMA app. It’s not obvious in the app how to set up payment or start charging. I couldn’t get anything to work.
In the end, trying again, it just worked, without payment.
That tesler model 3 must have a few k's on it now due for a trade in.
It’s about 200m from the town shops, which include IGA, Oliver’s, bakery, cafe. Zoom in on the Maps app on your phone to see what else ☺️.
We’re just over 46,000 km. Tesla offered a trade in of only $43k, which is a lot less than the $64k + $5k Enhanced Autopilot we paid just over a year ago. So, we declined.
