Apart from the usual campsites, where else can we camp? Is it illegal to park at a carpark of a nature reserve that's technically not a campsite? The way I see it, it's no different to parking an empty vehicle overnight. I'm assuming that as long as I can legally park a car there, I can "tesla...

Pies any good?

Where's this option? Or did you mean factory reset?

When you report this to Tesla can you please try and see if you can get a hold of "Rinard" who looked after my ticket. Tell him you're also having an issue where your app is unable to connect to your car even if LTE is connected. Let him know that you had a chat with someone who recently talked...

When you say lose connectivity, do you mean that LTE drops off completely? The LTE icon is showing not connected? See mine is weird. LTE shows connected but Tesla Support, my app and wife's app can't connect to the car!

Thanks. I've given this a shot. Removed my phone keys, uninstalled the app, reinstalled, and readded my phone as a key. Also removed all wifi networks from the car, and rejoined my home wifi. Let's see how I go!

This has happened to me twice since I upgraded to 2023.12.9 (sorry typo on the title and I don't know how to change it) last weekend. It happened within 4 days of each other so it's concerning me. In both times, the LTE icon shows the car is online, however my app cannot connect to it. My...

Since updating to 2023.12.9 I've had my car lose connectivity twice in 4 days. LTE is connected but neither phone nor Tesla Support can connect to the vehicle. What I mean by that is the app cannot get the status of the car or control the car (such as turn on climate control). Only way to fix...

This individual from Whirlpool is getting the update and he's not a Tesla employee... https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9p8n0q09?p=188#r3758

What's their excuse for charging money for it? That it isn't a warranty repair?

I've been waiting for this update, but so far it's only available on iPhones. Those of us on Android phones don't have this option yet.

Thanks, your reply has been most helpful. My biggest takeaway from your post is vehicles without IR work fine in the dark as far as FSDb/AP cabin attentiveness is concerned. Just bummed out that I can't see jack at night when viewing the cabin from the app. Not sure how it is in the US, but in...

I never said it increased my enjoyment of the car. Same question you can ask LR/P drivers. They also only charge up to 80%.

What is the go with these cabin cameras? It seems some ship with IR and some don't. What is Tesla's logic behind this? Is it just random, and if you don't have one but want to use FSD then you just ask for your camera to be replaced? I own a January 2023-built Model Y from Shanghai that doesn't...

Not charging to 100% doesn't reduce my enjoyment or change my use of the car, so your comment is irrelevant to me.

Right, ok. So this what I was trying to find out. If I don't charge to 100% for an extended period, range will go down, but the moment I do a few 100% it goes back up again. Are you certain that the battery itself isn't degrading at all, and it's just the BMS that isn't calculating range correctly?

Getting aftermarket wheel covers will probably "fix" this. You'll get a better looking wheel overall, and won't see the scratches. They're about $200 delivered. I'd rather do that than spend the same amount of money trying to do touch ups and still end up with the OEM wheel covers.

Whilst there may be a few people interested in this topic, I'd argue the majority aren't. I consider myself a "regular guy" in that I don't obsess with these sort of debates. If Teslas uses the same fossil fuels as ICE in manufacturing, then there's no issue. The fact that I don't have to go to...

MY RWD and MYP have different suspension systems. When media reported that comfort suspension was added to 2023 models, it was a little vague on whether the RWD got them. It's only been confirmed that the suspension of the 2023 MYP is different to 2022 MYP. If the suspension of the RWD wasn't...

But what I'm really curious about is what happens if I don't charge to 100% weekly? It won't damage the battery right? And it should technically keep batteries in better health. Sure BMS won't be calibrated - but when I decide to charge to 100% again in the future, would that fix the...

Also keen to contribute. Coming up to my LFP Model Y's first (Australian) winter. In Canberra where I live, coldest weeks are like: overnight dip to -5C, morning peak hour traffic at 0C, and top out at 8-10C during the daytime. Will watch out for range drops but hard to measure since we don't...

Really interested in these figures as I'm Canberra-based originally and with family in Sydney. Didn't think they would be this good. Only got my MY last week so haven't done a Sydney trip yet (though just did Wollongong). I thought SoC would dip below 20% especially coming to Canberra. I might...

Yes they would be after delivery. Some states would fit custom plates but I believe the delivery centre Canberra do not. I've got Euro plates, which are metal and don't come pre-drilled so no choice for me. I recommend getting them predrilled, but agree that you may not like the look of plates...

I noticed that gaur above is from Canada. Maybe qualify what you said, in that all Teslas sold in Australia were built in Fremont originally, but now all of those sold here are built in Shanghai. The general consensus with Australian buyers is that the Shanghai Teslas are far superior to...

Sorry I've been meaning to say... Don't overplan it. I suggest going to a few chargers even if you think you'll make the trip without charging. Treat it as a learning experience. That's what I did. I could have made the Canberra to Wollongong leg without a stop but I needed the experience. Same...

I picked up my MY RWD last Thursday, and on Saturday drove to Wollongong then back Monday. In less than a week's ownership I managed to charge at a Supercharger, Tesla destination charger at Novotel Wollongong, NRMA and Evie chargers. Was a heck of a crash course on EV ownership as I've never...

Drove past yesterday. Still not online.

That's a Y - the Gemini wheels is a giveaway. Model 3's don't come with those wheels.

Spotted just outside the Hume delivery centre (Canberra) today! I'm picking up my MYRWD white this Thursday so the white on the photo might be mine! Tesla typically transports cars 1-3 days before pickup to allow for final prep like cleaning, rego, etc. Note: Not my photo. Taken from a...

Depends on what it is and if there is current legislation blocking its execution. However I tend to agree, I think most of it could be done via policies alone.

The problem with rebates is that manufacturers adjust their pricing based on them. Not just car manufacturers but people with associated services as well.

I'm surprised it's only 6 bays given the convenience of this location. It's right off the freeway ramp as Ted H mentioned in the Tuggeranong SC thread. I'd rather they had 6 in Campbelltown and 12 here.

Only that with how quickly Teslas charge, you wouldn't get enough time to do all those things. It takes a while to walk inside shopping centres. Doing all that in 15-30 mins is almost impossible. It'll just give me Tesla idle fee anxiety.

I personally hate that carpark precisely due to what you've described. The location is also a bit strange for a supercharger. Tuggeranong isn't really an area that visitors would frequent, nor part of the Snowy-Sydney route. I reckon it only gets traffic when Plugshare reports the Majura one is...

Ah gotcha! So entering across the Southern Cross Club entry is the quickest way to get there?

Where is this in the hyperdome exactly? Is it in the TJ Maxx area carpark?

Though I assume that smart summon can only be used for the car to come to you - which means I can't use it to park the car back in to the garage? My 2nd use case is we all get out of the car in the said curved driveway, and I now want it to park into the garage. It means turning into it (not...

I know this is an old thread but better if I try and reuse what's here. Considering EAP. We have a garage that opens to a curved driveway. Which means if I use summon, the Tesla would need to immediately turn left halfway coming out of the garage. Is this something that summon can do? The...

No it's not a cancellation. They are going to change my order and I won't lose the order fee. I just decided not to do it. Not really sure what you are arguing about. I talked to the Tesla rep. Ie. A Tesla employee. Are you a Tesla employee?

I already have my pickup date in 2 weeks time. See my signature. My SA said I have until Tuesday to decide.

No, everyone can change it. There is a a deadline of by this coming Tuesday. You just need to contact your sales advisor. You can also do this by replying to the Tesla SMS's you've been getting.

I also think about this time and again. One reason I go with market value with brand new cars is sometimes they would repair a vehicle if it's only slightly cheaper than agreed value. There is a part of me that want to get a payout lower than its value than have an 'almost written-off' Tesla...

Hailstorm warning in Port Kembla now. Couple of thousand Teslas stuck there

Hailstorm warning in Port Kembla.

I believe the option just pops up on the app for the M3LR for you to purchase. Since no one has taken delivery of a MYLR Not sure anyone can answer this. Someone can ask a Tesla SA and see if they know.

I've been watching several YouTube videos and chats on this and based on calculations people have been doing it seems it won't be L/P legal.

Anzac Day weekend maybe? I'm driving to Wollongong from Canberra then back after a few days.

No foglights on the Y RWD I believe, but why would you want them?

So let me rephrase what you're saying. You're saying that you only get that full range for "short periods". So for the vast majority of the time your range is same as the RWD? LFP's can be charged to 100% most of the time, and is known to degrade much slower than NCA over time. It's the sort...

I've decided to keep my original order and let my SA know. I'm not really a performance sort of person so a new 0-100 of 5secs doesn't interest me much. $13k for an additional 80kms range (likely less if real world) is too much. I am Canberra-based and maybe 99% of my driving will be within...
