I've had my M3H for a few days now and have also noticed this - I would think this is completely normal.

Can’t remember what thread people were asking about this but here is my outlet in the shed with UMC mount.
The UMC sits in that cradle to stop it flopping around, and takes the strain off the cable.
The rest of the cable loops around the socket holder keeping everything neat and keeps pubes out of the plug. Easy to remove and throw in the boot if I need it, my daily charging is usually out front on the Wall Connector.

I don't think that's a caravan plug? Looks a lot like what the fish and chip trailer uses to hook into a site box in town while it's waiting for development. Two big 4ft wide friers, a bunch of heat lamps, fridges. They have two plugs.
It's a plug from the AS/NZS 3123 series, probably 32A.
Correct, it’s a Schneider/Clipsal EY56P532 plug in a EY56C532 socket.
And here I thought I'd read every bit of the manual! Good call, the sound on that page is exactly what I'm hearing.

I have a question about Kms range. Why does the Long Range Highland only charge to 534 Kms at 100% when the advertised range is 629?

I took a photo of this at Alexandria when I picked my M3H up and asked about it. Original Roadster with something like 30 Kms on the odo.

The range they have to advertise by law is the WLTP tested range.
This is tested in conditions that you are unlikely to experience on the road, basically a best case scenario.
Tesla use EPA tested range in the car display which is a little more realistic but even then depending how you drive the car and the conditions, that will vary.
Best advice, switch to % and don't even worry about km range. The car will do that for you.

Here's an update to my service appointment which happened yesterday.
The reasons for the service appoint were for:
Before I left the service centre I tested the speakers and realised the vibration is still there in the rear shelf.
With a flat EQ, the vibrations were noticeable:
The mobile service booking was cancelled and I'm returning the car mid-June to sort out the vibration. First addressing the front passenger window vibration, then focusing on the rear parcel shelf.
Note: always run your own tests where possible as you pick up the car.
- Drop off and Uber to/from work was a great experience.
- In-App updates were great, could even see door and boot opening and closing as they worked on the car.
The reasons for the service appoint were for:
- Parcel shelf not installed properly and rear shelf vibration from bass
- A new shelf was installed (more on this later)
- Front Passenger door vibration from bass
- Tech identified the cause was due to window switch housing, which is to be replaced at my home by mobile service tech.
- Additional insulation installed into this door
- Right haptic indicator not registering once in a while
- Tech removed wheel and button housing
- Tested buttons off the wheel and found no issues
- Will continue to raise a bug with timestamps as they occur
Before I left the service centre I tested the speakers and realised the vibration is still there in the rear shelf.
With a flat EQ, the vibrations were noticeable:
- From ~20 out of 32 notches (approx. 2/3 of full blast), listening to Psy Trance and DnB.
- From ~16 out of 32 notches (approx. 50% of full black), four on the floor 909 kick in the beat maker (a good tool to use, as you can focus on the kick only)

Thanks for this mate, very helpful, I have the RWD so no parcel shelf complaints, its the front passenger door vibration from bass which is exactly same as yourss the issue, the window switch housing, I confirmed this myself
Its booked into for the centre next Wednesday so hope they can fix, on top of this I got the creaky steering wheel as well at low speeds which I flagged to them .
I also have a creaky centre arm-rest, creaks sometimes when opening going up and down, and when lean on it - but they might just say thats normal, grrr my 20K cerato armrest was solid no sound - but I might flag it anyway see what they say,
Any body else have creaky armrests?

I don't have creaky armrests, but I feel as though there is a creak inside my seat which is apparent when making a turn.
It's not loud, very soft, almost like my ears are hallucinating from reading all the comments about creaking. So I'm going to leave it for now.

Yeah defo notice things more if one is looking for them.
On a slightly different note,
I just got asked by a mum if her (shy) kids could look at the car. They were absolutely loving seeing a Tesla up close. One was saying how they are learning “the environment “ at school and she was going to tell her class she saw a Tesla haha. How cool is that, the car makes all people happy.
Of course I made it do the farting noises too, they need to be louder though…
