I had a favourable NCAT ruling but the other party never showed or responded. Went to local court and paid for enforcement and the sheriff went around and collected the debt + enforcement fee. I believe if you know bank account details the sheriff may be able to go directly to their bank and...

Previous maps was 2024.2. Mine updated to 2024.14. Installed, but not sure if I can check for you from Newcastle.

From seeing it, my record is about 2 hours.. probably because I had to drive somewhere first, lol! I can't recall one thing in an update breaking it .. or bugging me to point of "Hurry up and fix it!"

I keep forgetting to turn off traffic light detection when hitting the freeway at night. As a workaround, I assume that should solve it!

This is the disclaimer I received when choosing FSD from the Australian site in 2019. The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human...

I like to micro-manage, have a Powerwall 2, but am too apprehensive living with my mother and daughter to risk it! I can imagine them turning on the heater on the reverse cycle and emptying the battery within 2 hours and then copping the $16 kWh rates that happened over the last week! Maybe next...

I'd suggest testing out Charge HQ to charge of excess solar. Works perfectly with the UMC in my setup. I'm lucky that I (currently) get it free as an early adopter but for $7/month or $70/year it will still be cheaper than Zappi for 18.5 years ($1299, not including installation). Charge HQ has...

If you're looking to be neat and tidy and wish to mount the UMC to the wall I'd suggest the longer cable (90cm on the link I provided US$95), or $230 on evchargers.com.au because as you can see from mine (30cm) it won't reach the wall with a protruding 5 pin socket. I don't mind mine just...

I got the 32A circuit. 5 pin plug, single phase - so just one set of pins wired up, and use this adapter. https://www.evseadapters.com/products/australia-32a-5-pin-adapter-for-tesla-gen-2/ $129 AUD delivered. A little bit less than a few hundred! I enjoy the option of charging full tilt on...

What about the regulatory approval bit?

I admit 'FSD' or 'Enhanced Autopilot' (I guess, I have FSD) has basically been 95% (success rate) of changing lane left to right and 30% (success rate) of moving right to left. Auto-park and summon up until now have just been gimmicks. Hopefully soon they will be much more useful. Right to left...

Wow, that's where I use (and enjoy) it most! Watching the cars in front of me touch ripple strips, drive over centre lines, move about in their lane. and speed up and down continuously, gives me the understanding why some people claim it can be 'a better driver' than humans. Each to their...

It seems with Intel / USS you can choose the spot like the new version. It's just the visuals aren't quite as fancy.

Have a 2019 P. 155k+ on the odo. No weird sounds emitted going forward or in reverse (apart from tyre noise). Can't say I've noticed it once. Also haven't splattered any deaf or blind people.

Unless things have changed recently, Aldi will only give you access to 98.8% of the population (wholesale Telstra network). Telstra & Boost will get 99.6% (ie. full Telstra network coverage).

Yeah, I take it back. Not waking up now. Maybe it was already awake and I didn't notice.

Correlation doesn't equal causation.. ;) It's just a co-incidence. I've been on 2024.8.7 since 28th of March. No remote wake-ups have been working for the last 3 or 4 days. But today it works. Someone at Telstra (or Tesla) has bounced the relevant server / black box.

It may well be able to do that. 99.9x% of the time (same as humans). But that won't be Tesla's decision.

You might've missed English classes so I'll let ChatGPT help you.. :P A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Instead of using a direct comparison, like a simile does with "like" or "as," a metaphor...

After watching a whole lot of v12 FSD videos, I look forward to doing the same when it's released in the next 12-24 months! All the armchair experts that commented that ... "Elon's an idiot. We need LIDAR. it can't work on just vision!" "It won't work with out RADAR!" "It can't park without...

Might be time to buy the adapter. Only USD $1050 delivered. ;) https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/CCS2-TO-CHAdeMO-adapter-DC-fast_1600998694103.html?spm=a2700.7724857.0.0.1b773831RSobvM

Has done it to my tyres since 2019 (M3P-). Current/last set finally did the recommendations of doing rotations but only did 3 lots of 10k rotations before slacking off. Finally had to replace the fronts (down to the wire on the inside) at around 68k (should have done earlier if noticed). Might...

+1 I've been driving for 30+ years and previous to the Tesla I've never even had a car with a shifter as a stalk! I do vaguely remember my parents old Kingswood that had one .. clunk .. clunk .. but apart from that it's just something I'd only ever seen in one of those Lampoon's vacation...

And probably much less now that NRMA are winding back their free charging!

1/11/23 - Installed total cost of Powerwall 2 + gateway was $13.5k (Newcastle). $750 rebate from Tesla + $800 bill credit from Simply Energy on their VPP.

It might change for any 800V cars utilising them. I can't see Tesla installing / upgrading any though, at least not until the Cybertruck or other Tesla 800V cars come upon the scene.

I was there a few weeks back. Pretty sure all current V4 pedestals are backed by V3 cabinets .. so exactly the same. I was getting the usual 250kW early on (low SOC), which quickly dropped off after a few minutes.

Helpful information. But in general, it will never go higher than what it was initially set.

It won't go faster than the initial speed you set TACC to. eg. 1. Turn TACC on at 60. Go to 40 zone, it will reduce to 40. Go back to 60 zone, it will go to 60. Go into 80 zone, it will stay at 60. 2. Turn TACC on at 80. Go to 60 zone, it will reduce to 60. Go back to 80 zone, it will go to 80...

4-3 or 7-0, it doesn't make any difference. They've interpreted the constitution and made a clarifying ruling which is the law of the land. If another state implements an identical tax, a lower court dismisses it citing the above ruling, and the state appealed and it somehow comes up through the...

Um, I don't think that's how the constitution works.

If it's significantly cheaper (ie. a couple of thousand) you could insure it as your mum with NRMA or another insurer that any person can drive. You will cop significant excess during an at fault accident. ie. normal excess, age excess, un-nominated driver excess .. but if you put the extra...

DID YOU SAY YEEESSSSS!?

Long-press one of the shortcut icons and drag them around.

I think you're getting confused. Elon wrote a white paper on the Hyperloop and ran a few college competitions but never got involved building or investing in anything to do with it. I believe Hyperloop One was originally Richard Branson. Nothing to do with Elon.

I put the evidence above in my response. I didn't wavy davy. Hard facts. Your response was nonsensical and a cop-out. Expected better from you. I'm one of those rare 1/1000 people who will be the first person to admit when I'm wrong. I'll even apologise if I've been a twat about it. Not argue...

How about you show us their research proving that going slightly over the speed limit is the cause of the majority of crashes? Not just wavy davy arms by governments with an agenda or public bureaucrats or the public memes they come up with for TV or advertising. I can show you a study from...

Agree, which is why I originally said:

My point was CCS2 Max's out at 500A (200 kW for 400V architecture). The Superchargers don't, which is why you can see 250kW.

Let's try V * A which is 300-400V (depending on SOC) * 500A. Equates to ~190kW (maybe a fraction over 200kW in an S). CCS2 is limited to a measly 500A .. (They both slow down pretty quickly, so is much of a muchness) ;)

I'm being stalked every 30 seconds .. oh wait .. TeslaFi! Have managed to tune it out already.

Maybe try installing the apk directly? https://www.apkmonk.com/app/au.com.ampol.ampcharge/

Unfortunately the volume knob trick doesn't work in Australian Tesla's :(

Pretty sure KemPower's can display a QR code for your current charging session. Start charging, scan the code, see your car's current charging status updated in real time! No network app needed.

I disagree. Local councils is where it is at. https://alga.com.au/facts-and-figures/#:~:text=Local%20roads%20make%20up%20around,are%20managed%20by%20local%20governments.

Yes they do. Just book the service and mention mobile service wanted.

Until sales of EV's are higher than ICE cars (50%+) or prices are at least even/comparable .. incentives make sense.

I'd give it to Wallsend Car Park going by check-ins. My estimation, as a local, only 60-70% actually check-in .. particularly as there is 2 chargers and some may not feel obligated if the other charger happens to be empty.
