I wish they'd made the Y in a 7 seat model for the RHD market.. it would have been on the list instantly..

oh boy I should have put in a lot more than I did when it was 400$ (pre-split)..should've could've ..

my 2c regarding FSD and the conversation. For me the value of FSD will be immense (when it actually comes). What I have done to 'pay for FSD' is give Tesla 10k in the form of its shares. I bought additional 10k worth of shares the day I picked up my Model 3. When FSD is released in Australia...

Have a tri-motor on order. Did it the day pre-orders opened up.. if its anything more than what I paid for my 2020 Range Rover Sport I will be walking away. :)

Is normal AP getting worse with software updates ?? is it to push us to buy FSD package ? Before the latest software update I probably had may be 4 phantom braking issues in 5 months, since the latest sw update, I have had 5 phantom braking issues in a week.. and even on stretches of dual lane...

A supercar in Camry's colours here.. White Performance Model 3...🏎️

ha ha no Porsche Taycan for me ..If I had Porsche Taycan kinda money, I'd probably get a GT3 or similar.. There was a Gt3Cup at Sandown and he was flying around the track, I timed it at 1:08 and the braking point was pretty much 50m before the apex instead of 180-200m & something about using a...

36 cold is way too high IMHO. I'd start with 26-28 (30 max) cold.. that will be about 34-36 hot after 1 session. Ideally you should be no more than 32 hot (as my experience in 1 day). Power Steering is going to be fine (in sport mode). Brakes are a bit of a PITA for sure. Unless you have the...

Write up after Sandown yesterday, videos still yet to be sorted and uploaded. Session 1- 9:30 AM : Battery 90%+; tyre pressure - 36psi cold (way too high). 50/50 split. ESP- 0. Best Lap : 1:33:8 TM3P is a great track car. It was very hot yesterday with temperature already at 32 by 9:30 AM. As...

Great rundown. Thanks for that. Yeah its gonna be 35 on Wednesday so might not be a great day either. I think a lot of the 'restrictions' in the car go away with track mode in the perf model. The seats well yeah that's something Tesla needs to fix. one of my mates has a M3 Comp pack and his...

Yep the missus has scratched both the front rims (doesn’t help that the car is lowered and with spacers) .. even after getting fixed a few weeks into owning the car.. i am done getting these repaired for the moment.. once they are super scratched I will probably get them repaired and powder...

I think I am done buying ICE cars or spending stupid money upgrading components (been there done that). The reason I bought the performance model was for having fun on track days.. if I really want to start lap times I will do that in Forza ( have a proper sim setup) and not worry about...

yeah I am worried about the ultra low profile tyres & also the standard brakes .. I will probably buy a second set of wheels with cup 2 tyres and (may be get upgraded brake kit) once I have done a few track days..

yeah taking the go pro along.. hopefully it won't fly off ... :cool:

That's right @EcoCloudIT right now its a seperate base code completely. I think next FSD version is going to be a single code base for both FSD and non FSD vehicles. Given the rollout of FSD Beta in the US, I don't know how much longer it will before it comes to AU. I only ever drove a Model S...

heading to sandown on Australia Day for a track day. I used to do track days way long ago (before marriage and kids)..looking forward to it. doing it with another mate in a model 3 perf too..gonna take the go pro and also use the lap camera ..

I agree. The new interface is pretty bad. hate the color icons, specially at night. like the functionality of being able to move or replace icons but I want the old icons back. Changes to autopilot icon means that it takes a second to make sure that TACC / AP is on. swiping to see the TPMS...

And the moron strikes again ..how is this dinosaur not extinct ..

What the hell. Why wouldn’t they have Disney+ here ?

Yep FSD enabled cars definitely get SW updates faster. Of course Tesla is not gonna say it authoritatively.

Yeah I have yet to find a roundabout where it doesn't go 'OH I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO TAKE OVER YOU MORON'.....

Autosteer is really good as long as the lane markings are clear. Autosteer gets very confused on Monash Freeway where there are lane expansions happening. It make me very nervous as it does go very close to the outside lane markings... But otherwise its best at what it does. Although my mate's...

Nope you can't. Most of the BYO cables require either Type 2 or Type 1 connection (into the charger) and Type 2 connection into the Tesla. For some chargers, you would need the Type 1 to Type 2 converter to plug into the Tesla. Honestly I haven't had to use the Type 2 charger or any other...

Never mind ...

FSD subscription is independent of the FSD BETA v9 from what I can tell. The subscription details only appear if you haven't purchased the FSD already (at least AFAIK). It makes sense if you change your car frequently like they do in the US, where paying 10K on a lease car doesn't make sense...

I hate you @Dragon81 .. :P

7K cheaper in VIC. Wow thats pretty bad for recent owners (like me).. could‘ve added FSD in the price.But then again I guess I wont be alone in this. Edit: Is there any point in reaching out to Tesla to see if they will add the FSD as a sweetener ?

I’ll look it up and set up the can server..

Hope not !! The law is only applicable from today so we shouldn't need to pay for prior to today. But If you don't send your odometer reading today they will calculate the daily average and add to it retrospectively when you true up next year. Feels like Oracle software licensing now.. people in...

fair enough (no questions without question marks right?) . I had my hands on the steering wheel in both instances and was paying attention.. the fact that AP braked so hard and so suddenly while travelling at 102 km/h is what scared me, I pretty much had the pedal to metal instantly to avoid...

2021.4.18.2

quick question folks.. 1. Phantom braking (while using AP/FSD) almost ended in the 4WD up in my ass (well the car's) yesterday . Scared the living daylights outta me too. Not sure its just vision or radar thing, it feels like a software thing. 2. And the other thing that happened yesterday was...

Heatwaves are exactly why govts should prioritise renewable power and batteries. Imagine every single person trying to cool by using AC in their home while the supply buckles under pressure (we have already seen enough evidence about this). Having a subsidised home battery + solar power or wind...

im gonna hurl abuse at every single gov employee I can find.. starting with my wife..🤣

NRMA should do it. I am in VIC but am with RACV. same same isn't it? I've also seen Tesla Tom compare some insurance companies on YT. CommInsure was my other one that I tried. YMMV

+1 to everything that @meloccom said. For ceramic coating or PPF, I use Affinese and they are pretty good. They are located in Clayton so might not be convenient for you. You can give them a call and tell them Harsha referred you. You can also join TOCA and get some free services from...

I like the current look with the hub cap. I might look at getting a red T logo on the wheels but not sure how they'll look with white colour body..

Thanks for the recommendation @EcoCloudIT :).

Thoroughly impressed with @LuckyFive and his expertise ! Watched the whole process of changing the springs and sway bars. would recommend @LuckyFive for any and all the Tesla needs :). Michael you are a great guy !! Thanks for working on my Perf model 3. @UnpluggedP moderate springs and front +...

Here’s mine after tinting but before lowering :) 35% in the front and 20% in the back.

Another vote for Affinese. Pat runs a tight ship and his work is flawless.

Weird / Newbie question, my HPWC struggles to connect properly to my car. It takes 3-4 goes before the connection is stable. Is this something that normal or should I get someone to come and check if the charge port on the car or the HPWC is wonky.. been like this since Day 1...I have to line up...

Thanks @Flatbat ! I will go see them in a couple of days.. While I agree with being chill, I‘ve barely had the car for a couple of weeks.. so will see what it will cost.

Well my wife took the car today and curbed the front wheel. FAAAAAAAK…anyone know a place to get that repaired...

Nope RACV. They are pretty good prices all things considering. Again I’ve chosen market value (since they have 2 years old for new) and not agreed value.

if there is a basis for a class action against the government I'd be keen to sign up and get that mutha****r Daniel Andrews to come lick my feet...

Moderate (I think). I've gone with Moderate as well. Will post before/ after pics when done.

The VIN is only registered the day of or the day before delivery appointment. So it won't appear until you select your appointment. learnt it the hard way. :)

Got the UPP parts ordered and spoke to Michael from lucky five this morning. Things are going ahead. Thank you @EcoCloudIT for the suggestion. Definitely owe you a coffee for the recommendation.

NZ has always been better at doing things for cars etc. My cousin when he was there bought hi perf imports almost every 2 years, he was there for about 10 years before moving to US. We only have hope for things like that if our resident dinosaurs (scum <- autocorrect SCOMO and Dan Andrews) are...
