Didn't get to see any of the show as I was too busy chatting with people on the stand all day but will get to check things out a bit more tomorrow and Sunday.

Then I went to IKEA across the road and had Swedish meatballs for dinner. Ordered an electric Uber to get to the Australian Electric Vehicle Association SA branch AGM and got a Polestar, which felt like home.16 Sep 2026 10:15 +0000at://did:plc:g4sxfkdbro76v2txcfl4ctcg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvmvtj5bos27https://bsky.app/profile/stangorton.bsky.social/post/3mvmmyqmedc2dEnjoyed quick 20-minute Q400 Qantas flight from Kingscote to Adelaide this morning. Lo and behold my exact spec and colour Zeekr 7X was on display at the baggage carousel, so that's where I did the Teams meeting on laptop with Zeekr HQ about the Everything Electric show procedure. Very appropriate!16 Sep 2026 07:37 +0000at://did:plc:g4sxfkdbro76v2txcfl4ctcg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvmmyqmedc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/stangorton.bsky.social/post/3mvlwn5lrm22dDropped off Twig at the doggy Hilton, aka vet kennels, and I'm off to Adelaide to attend the Australian Electric Vehicle Association AGM tonight and then tomorrow off to the Everything Electric show in Sydney to be a Zeekr brand ambassador!16 Sep 2026 00:57 +0000at://did:plc:g4sxfkdbro76v2txcfl4ctcg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvlwn5lrm22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/stangorton.bsky.social/post/3mvf4gpjtf222Great to catch up with fellow Zeekr 7X owners and early adopters Kay and Joe from the Sunshine Coast at Emu Ridge today.

But on arrival it looked like a washing machine and the soonest they could get me on was the 6pm sailing. So decided to head back to Victor Harbor for the night and get the 9am tomorrow.05 Sep 2026 05:19 +0000at://did:plc:g4sxfkdbro76v2txcfl4ctcg/app.bsky.feed.post/3muqq52n25k2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/stangorton.bsky.social/post/3muopchidoc2lHey thanks for the shout out!

Just how the offending leaf got into there is unknown, but my Zeekr is back to its silent self. Also got my stone chips repaired this afternoon, so all missions accomplished!04 Sep 2026 06:41 +0000at://did:plc:g4sxfkdbro76v2txcfl4ctcg/app.bsky.feed.post/3muoecfcw2k2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/stangorton.bsky.social/post/3munhh7ihy22gUPDATE: So I get to the service centre and the AC fan clicking noise is gone! It was making it when I left Victor but I didn't use the fan on the 1 hour drive. They are still going to look at the filter placement for me.03 Sep 2026 22:05 +0000at://did:plc:g4sxfkdbro76v2txcfl4ctcg/app.bsky.feed.post/3munhh7ihy22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/stangorton.bsky.social/post/3mum2nkzd6s22Oh oh. Half way through the city in rush hour traffic after leaving the Volvo service centre I turn on the Zeekr's AC and the fan is making this horrible grinding, clicking noise. I kept going but I'm going to drive back 85km from Victor Harbor first thing tomorrow morning.03 Sep 2026 08:43 +0000at://did:plc:g4sxfkdbro76v2txcfl4ctcg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mum2nkzd6s22https://bsky.app/profile/stangorton.bsky.social/post/3mulq6leo7222Drove loaner Polestar 4 coupe up into Adelaide Hills to partake in award winning sausage roll and vanilla slice from Banana Boogie bakery.

I can't believe it after finding out about and commenting on the awesome new Polestar 4 wagon only yesterday, now I get to drive one, albeit the coupe version.03 Sep 2026 02:28 +0000at://did:plc:g4sxfkdbro76v2txcfl4ctcg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mulfooburc22https://bsky.app/profile/stangorton.bsky.social/post/3mujjhsmyfc2kDropped off my vacuum cleaner for repair, took the Zeekr to The Wash at Glenelg for the cleanse and hydrate package, while I had a snack and did some work on the laptop.
