Oh wow, I did not know this!

Nope! I’m yet to take them off 😬

The Big Boi pressure washer (Washr Flo) has been great for me. I gave mine a wash yesterday. Snow foam with Gyeon Q2M foam Rinse Hand wash with Meguires Gold Wash - usually use Bowdens Nanolicious but wanted to try something else. I use 3x buckets (wash, rinse, and a separate one for the...

I’ve experienced very similar in the AWD driving in the wet today. Felt a bit unnerving.

This creaky steering wheel issue is super frustrating for us all.. Just to throw my experience into the mix as we are intel gathering, mine creaks whether it’s cold or warm, whether the car has been in my garage or left outside for 8 hours, one handed or two handed driving (creaks when applying...

Hairdryer really helped me. Then you really have to stretch the side bits before sliding it over the pedal base.

Did they swap your steering wheel/tell you what the problem was @dronus ? I still need to book mine in, I feel like the creaking is getting worse.

Keen to hear how you go!

Anyone else have/experienced a creaking steering wheel as per this reddit post? My car only has 1,250 kms on the clock and was built late December, 2023. https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModel3/s/VmaekpfjnS Subtle movements of the wheel cause it to happen as opposed to large movements (U-turns...

Naturally the police are going to target the fatal 5 as these contribute the most to collisions resulting in serious injury/death.

When I wanted to test drive the LR I contacted the Adelaide DC and requested it after I’d made the online booking.

I’ve just seen someone report on FB that the UMC is now charging at 10A/15A.

Nope!

It’s made its way to the north eastern suburbs mate! Just started the download.

Perfection.

Having grown up on Gran Turismo and Need For Speed this is amazing.

Can we get a screenshot of the home page with Sriracha front and centre? 😬 pretty please

With the performance version being unveiled I’m hoping a company out there might make an 18” wheel cover for the photons that resembles the 20” warp wheels. On another note, does anyone know if front bumpers come pre-painted? Asking for a friend who loves the performance front bumper.

Bit of a random post, but as this thread includes ‘experiences’, this is mine so far.. I’ve clocked up just over 1,000 kms in 2 months (live very close to work), I can confidently say this is the best daily I’ve had. Things I love: - instant torque - super comfortable ride - peaceful cabin -...

Yeah, you’re more likely to get done by a traffic/motorbike patrol. I drove a modified WRX for 7 years and luckily never got done.

Yep, scary how some people don’t even realise there’s no light emitting from their headlights. The light output from the model 3 is amazing, even without the adaptive headlights activated.

Any tint on the headlights or taillights is grounds for a defect, however from a safety perspective the most important thing is how the tint affects the light output. I feel like insurance would be a pain.

Handy tip re car cleaning and dealing with bee/bird poop: For those with/without a ceramic coating, my car had a couple of bee droppings (yellow spots) on it, which appeared to have stained the paint. They were on the car for less than 24 hours and the car only had 1-2 hours sun exposure (22...

Now featuring floor mats and pedals from HaloBlk.

Nil issues at all! Usually I always go darkest legal but I’m willing to risk it for the uniform look.

I don’t believe there is any tinting/privacy glass at all on the side windows. I got 20% tint for the sides.

Update: Halo Blk Global have apologised profusely and refunded me for the roof shades.

Not sure about the refund at this point (I’m hopeful it was just someone at Halo Blk Global not reading the email chain properly). To clarify, early Feb I ordered from Halo Blk Global store (items are sent from China) as at the time the Australian store didn’t have the mats in stock. I figured...

They reached out to me and are going above and beyond. Honestly the best customer service experience I’ve had.

Halo Blk offer me a refund. I politely ask for a refund. I then get this a few days later. I’m usually a very patient person but goodness me. It’s also funny because I never signed for anything.

Whoops!

Unfortunately 28th March is just when it got to Hong Kong (despite the fact Halo Blk are based in Hong Kong). I got the exact same update on 12th March and they advised me on Thursday that it’s still waiting at the “Australian port.”

What’s your latest tracking update? This is from their email: “We regret to inform you that your recent order containing the Alloy Foot Pedals and Windshield Sun Shade Umbrella was unfortunately mishandled by the logistics provider, resulting in its misplacement.”

Just in case anyone is looking for something to inflate their tyres/you’re sick of going to the servo. I did toss up getting one of the smaller, more portable units but ended up with this. Very easy to take on trips, and gets the job done quickly. From Bunnings @ $125 (already had a Ryobi...

Big Boi have a sale on at the moment if you buy direct from them. Just fyi!

I’m with Ovo (SA) and use the EV plan. I only charge during 11am - 2pm and haven’t spent a cent on charging the car since I joined. Peak rates (54c kWh) and daily supply charge (148c) are high, but the free charging/3 hour free window to go nuts with charging/washing machine/dishwasher/AC and 8c...

Give it 48 hours and it should be working again.

I got the Big Boi (2x filter system as opposed to 3x) one online from The Detail Store. I believe you can get a 5% off code for your first purchase. I also got the trolley for it, which makes it super easy to cart around. Otherwise you’ll need to wall mount it or come up with another plan -...

Australia Post confirmed HaloBlk must have sent me the wrong tracking number lol (for anyone still following along). So keen for those floor mats!

Bowdens do a rinseless wash called Dry Spell. Essentially you have a bunch of a microfibre towels in a bucket filled with the wash solution, but there is some technique involved to avoid scratching. I’ve never used it because even if the car is only dusty I always get the full washing kit out as...

And my premium connectivity returned this morning.. I still haven’t been billed though 🤔

HaloBlk boot/frunk liners arrived. Now just waiting on the mats, pedal covers and windscreen umbrella.

Oh it doesn’t fit well at all, I should probably take it off before something goes wrong.

Just a friendly reminder to wash your beautiful cars.

That’s a real shame mate. Definitely get in contact with the Aussie store as they’re really helpful.

Wonderful.

Nope! There’s a street with the same name as mine in Queensland (difference being mine is a Grove, and this is a Street) about 40 minutes from Redbank, so I’m wondering if it’s a sorting issue. I’ve never had any issues with Australia Post before.

I live in SA, which makes this a tad concerning 🤔

One step closer @Murphster

Similar thing happened to me.. except I accidentally had $0 in my bank account when I tried to pay for my first month.. now my car/the app says I’ve got premium connectivity until April 24th, but I can’t actually use it because the money never went through, and I can’t cancel and resubscribe...
