    HW3 vs HW4 for resale in 2027... your thoughts?

    We definitely have no interest in FSD. Or even Enhanced Autopilot. White seats is looking like the way to go.

    HW3 vs HW4 for resale in 2027... your thoughts?

    Good thoughts. I think you're about right, the year model is more important than HW4 or not. There are currently also some even more heavily discounted 2023 Model Ys (another $1,000 off), but we're not going for one of those as we'd prefer to be re-selling a 2024 model than a 2023 model. Great...

    HW3 vs HW4 for resale in 2027... your thoughts?

    Interesting to hear. Does anyone wear jeans in your car - especially blue ones? Some people have mentioned that the blue dye can transfer onto the seats. Our Model 3 had black seats, and I’ve been surprised at how many marks are visible on that - and we don’t let sunscreen get into it, or...

    HW3 vs HW4 for resale in 2027... your thoughts?

    I’m confident we can keep the white interior looking good. (Famous last words! But we are careful - no food, and if we got white, no pens - in the car! I’m more worried about how the Grey exterior would hold up against stone chips and scratches. Our M3 hasn’t done well on either score, and it’s...

    HW3 vs HW4 for resale in 2027... your thoughts?

    Hey guys We're about to update our Model 3 to a Model Y... the pricing here in Australia is great at the moment. Right now, we can opt for a HW3 Model Y with a $3,000 discount, or go for the latest batch which includes HW4, without the discount. With some great advice from people on this...

    Does HW4 improve the smoothness of standard Autopilot?

    Yeah - I'm conscious too that at the moment the difference may be negligible or nothing at all, but over the next couple of years they may take advantage of HW4's more powerful processor and cameras to provide it with functionality that HW3 can't support. If not in terms of actual features, at...

    Does HW4 improve the smoothness of standard Autopilot?

    Hi guys, We're about to upgrade our older Model 3 to a Model Y. In Australia, there is some stock available with HW3 (at a discount), or we can order from the most recent shipment which comes with HW4. The difference is about $3k. We'll be keeping this car for around 3-4 years. We don't use...

    M3 weird fan noise with loud rattling and squeaking when car is parked…

    Hey guys. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what this sound could be? It happens when the car is parked in moderate temperatures. It only started yesterday and my wife isn’t sure the car is safe to drive. Any guidance or thoughts on this would be very welcome! Thanks guys! Mike

    Loud fan (?) rattling and squeaking when parked… started yesterday.

    Hi guys This sound just started happening yesterday. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what it might be or whether it’s safe to use the car until we can get it into the service centre? Here is the sound: Many thanks! Mike

    Pilot Sport 5 replacing Pilot Sport 4 - equal curb protection?

    Hi guys Wondering if anyone has replaced the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 18” tyres which come on the Model 3 RWD as standard with Pilot Sport 5 tyres? If so, is the rim protection the same as the PS4, or is there less protection? Keen to know before I make the change. Cheers! Mike

    Continental PremiumContact 6 on Model 3?

    Hi guys I have an option to exchange the Michelin ePrimacy tyres that came on my Model 3 for a set of Continental PremiumContact 6. The Continental have a traction rating of A, compared to the Michelins which have a B. The PremiumContact 6 always does very well in performance tests...

    Viewing Sentry clips on my computer - doesn't show the files correctly

    Hi guys After picking up my new Model 3 last week, someone squeezed past my car and a pilon in a carpark three days later and scratched the rear side of the car with their bag. Amazing how people really don't make any effort to be careful of people's cars. Anyway... I can see the footage fine...
