https://www151.griffith.edu.au/redcap/surveys/?s=L49W4KKY78DMC879 Dear All, the above link is to a fairly detailed survey about attitudes to autonomous and electric vehicles. It will take about 20 minutes to complete. You can leave your email to get reports on results or just fill it in...

!!

The EV Fire Safe website may be of help. They are an Australian mob from Victoria. Featured on the Fully Charged Podcast in January this year.

I hope that they make a 19” wheel available as an option in Australia (as China does). If so, the temptation will be near irresistible.

I don’t have a highland, but my car has always done that. I think it is the high voltage battery connectors waking up

A certain movie tagline comes to mind…

I wonder if that is Simon Hackett’s roadster

Enphase make 3 phase batteries. Not sure about the power and capacity.

Sorry to hear that @Mes1 I don’t know how to submit a bug report for the phone app.

Hmm… Not sure @Mes1 then sorry. I’m using iOS. Maybe set Season 1 to Jan-Dec inclusive as a work around?

Ta, might be needing to move from Powershop to Amber soon

Am I correct in thinking that Amber supplies software that helps manage this sort of stuff if you are with them?

Keen to hear what you find with the white interior

Had an email from Chargefox saying that they were trialling access to NRMA chargers via the Chargefox app. The details other than that are fairly nebulous.

Yes, go into the app -> charge stats -> scroll down -> settings -> home, then you edit the schedule, buy price and if relevant sell price. It can get up to 4 time-of-use tariffs and split them over the day. The image shows the schedule for my house.

I do find the visualisations useful to help understand the behaviour of the car. Either when it is signalling an alert (pedestrian or other car potential collision) or when I’m using autopilot. For the warning it identifies the specific concern. Mainly they are false positives, but not so often...

I filled it in and I would encourage others to as well. I have an Evie account that I have never used. It is there to give me options just in case and they need to know why it is not my default or at least higher probability option.

From the vehicle that the Tesla Ranger turned up in for me, there isn’t much stuff that they can’t fix in your garage

I’m getting a similar nudge to turn in single-tap autopilot. It’s interesting to think about what they are trying to normalise

Yeah, it was the Honda Accord in the late 80s.

Yes, I hadn’t considered the 4 wheel steering

IIRC the charging ports are IP7 rated, so I haven’t been too worried about having more than the current cover over them.

That UltraRed looks fantastic in the sun. I would really love to be able to get the Midnight Cherry with a white interior.

I really wonder about that. A couple of the photos show that it definitely does not fit into a standard Australian parking space, so I wonder the same about a minimum spec kerbed traffic lane.

Thanks for the analysis @Aryll

I have gone from 18v Ryobi gear that has finally worn out. This new 56v stuff is so far ahead it is not funny.

You might need an environmental impact statement and a search for endangered species before you start, but I can recommend EGO electric mowers and powered garden tools. Heaps of power and good finish.

Keen to hear your thoughts on the stock suspension performance.

You only get 8A from the 10A plug or 12A from the 15A plug in the kit.

For you or the car?

Please let us know how they compare from a finish/handling/ride comfort point of view. TIA

NMC I think

I didn’t mind the regen setup in my A3-etron. The car would coast when you took your foot off the accelerator pedal. When you put your foot on the brake it would apply regen up to (I think) about 75kW and after that the friction brakes would engage to give the deceleration you wanted above...

Yeah, I drive with the assumption that pedestrians can neither see nor hear me, especially in car parks.

The Model 3 Performance page on the Tesla Australia website quotes power output at 460hp, the US quotes 510. The discussions in the main Model 3 page say the US cars are getting a US produced Panasonic 2170 (I think NCA) pack and the ROW will get a Korean LG 2170 (I think NMC) pack. The new...

After looking at the reviews I’m a bit uncertain about the vehicle height. 10mm lower than the current long range, or 10mm lower than the old M3P? Ta

Different battery with a bit higher power output

And that 4 way intersection in Melbourne with the tram lines…

Tesla can replace the charging ports for a fee so that the car can then use CCS2 cables. I can’t recall the price. A few here have done it, so they might chime in.

From the car or cars in your Tesla account.

Some of the third party apps will track individual charging sessions and can calculate costs based on the site - home, whatever public charging location. you can also put the time of use cost schedule in for home. I have TezLab for this and it does it quite well. Many other functions. It is a...

It seems like the thing Jolt are aiming at - a bit of high turnover opportunity charging rather than someone with a specific schedule

I’m not sure 24.14 is out anywhere yet. I do have posts on the signs on 24.8.9 in a 2019 HW3 car

I did wonder about 24.14. You can’t see it on TeslaFi, Stats for Tesla or Teslascope in any of the cars using those services. You can certainly see the description on NotaTeslaApp. I think we might be a bit ahead of ourselves

Do you reckon they will reveal it on Saturday?

The self-parking in 8.9 is very smooth. I don’t get the images of the other cars on the screen, but I’m in a 2019 car

I last tried it with 8.7. I’ll try with 8.9 tomorrow

The current iteration of the parking algorithm is the smoothest and surest it has been so far. The only other system I have used is the Audi one from 5 years ago. It was quite, teutonic, in its approach. I’d be interested in other comparisons

FWIW the Harwood Supercharger has been flooded at least once and got going again pretty fast. You could see the high water mark on the chargers for quite a while.

The change in crossing traffic behaviour is quite a difference. In the past my car would always slow significantly if it spotted any crossing traffic.
