If you've ever seen the price of PULP or diesel at a marina, you'll agree that they've copied that pricing model. ;)

I'll give it a go and see how it compares to the Bowden's.

I put 100ml of the following into the fluid reservoir, it works well in cleaning the windscreen with Tesla's low water spray approach. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/bowdens-own-bowdens-own-wipe-out-windscreen-washer-additive-1-litre/595487.html

This is a well proven solution for this issue, buy it when it's on special. https://www.bowdensown.com.au/the-big-green-sucker

I sir want to applaud the number of kilometres that you've done in 2 years and 7 months. Good to see you getting a high rate of use from your Tesla, and I'm sure plenty of folk on here would appreciate a summary of your ownership experience (besides tyres, what else have you had to maintain) in...

I went through this afternoon from Drummoyne to Pyrmont and it's working as it should be - I haven't updated my software in the past three weeks so I'm guessing that a new map version must have been applied. The Nav plotted for me to take the tunnel off Iron Cove bridge, and TACC held the...

Tesla's system (It makes no sense to me) is that when you raise a service request under warranty, that they'll give you a $ estimate for the work that you must accept. In my experience they don't charge you for it if it's warranty work - I'd raise it and get them to fix it. Despite also having...

I've recently noticed routing making some clearly incorrect decisions mainly at the start of the journey, like driving two blocks in the wrong direction for a U turn instead of setting off in the correct direction at the first intersection.

This is a good shopping centre, the car park is easy to get around and the parking spaces are a decent size. The only downside of it is that it's not near a main thoroughfare, and it can be difficult to get to with heavy traffic. The street where the car park entrance is narrow, and makes for...

It's not giving you a higher rate of Regen to protect the battery due to the low temperature, in my experience it kicks in below 10 degrees Celsius.

If you notice the Regen isn't as strong, look on the screen next to where the headlights on logo resides for a green brake caliper logo, that means that the computer has decided to limit your Regen typically for either a high state of charge or cold weather (below 10 degrees C in has been the...

This post needs to be a sticky.

I checked the invoice, it was indeed $290.

I had the Y in for service today at Chatswood and by chance found out that they can retrofit the PWS speaker (and do so via their mobile service). I've had enough encounters with surprised pedestrians that I'm going to get it installed, and hope to make it sound like a V8 with a lumpy cam on idle.

“Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week,” - so they've hard coded it into your car too! 😁
