U class drivers licence and Tesla

[Quickst]

South Australia is to activate and enforce the U class drivers licence from end of the year after enabling legislation was enacted in 2022

To get U:
Additional driving course
Special fines if traction aids or automated stability systems are disabled

Cars which require U class licence = 292kW per tonne or more)

Should not affect any EV sold in Australia??
I think the M3P comes in under 200kW/tonne??

While not sold in AU MSPlaid would require a U license in SA

Though the "driving course" is no more than an "online course".

That is all correct. Not sure that the SA government have thought through interstate licences driving in SA.
The legislation is a reaction to a lambo driver that disabled traction control and killed a 16 year old pedestrian.

Tesla M3H LR is 200kW/T, well below the limit. Although the online course should be fun, if free, of course.
