    Aussie queues this long weekend

    Hubby (Model Y) left to go to Coffs Harbour at 3.30am this morning thinking he would beat the queues. Got to Port Macquarie and rang to say there were 8 in the queue waiting and more still pulling up. The ChargeFox close by has been out of service for months. Seems we still have an issue with...

    My Tesla experience

    A lovely positive experience of autopilot: OH took the MY from Canberra to Coffs Harbour (a regular trip), while at Taree charging, slipped on the grass behind the chargers and broke his arm :(- but didn't tell me. Instead, he put on autopilot and returned back to Canberra - able to do so as...

    My Tesla experience

    Can you give a link for this bed as OH camps in the MY frequently and getting a proper fitting bed as opposed to foam would be good for him.

    Model Y Tow Package available soon from Tesla Australia

    I rang them today and they said that they are staging the distribution against the orders. They told me I would get an email soon to book in a time for installation (and to be patient!).

    Model Y Tow Package available soon from Tesla Australia

    I asked to be emailed last year when we purchased the Model Y, and the Australia Tesla shop is still saying, email me! I've been waiting for this for such a long time!:mad:

    Motivation?

    Reasons for having TWO Tesla's Model Y and Model 3. The Model Y is "his" 1. I think it looks stunning from the front, sucks side on 2. Convenience of not having to go to a Servo (and savings) 3. Love the tech - hated other cars with so many buttons that I never did figure out what they did...

    Brake Regeneration - Low To Non-Existent (Aussie Site - Discussion)

    Punchbuggy... I think we live very close to you (and those speed bumps!). I seemed to have lost my regen for months on the M3SR+ but got it back with the new update and loving it once again. I also had a new tyre put on, but now charge to 100% and still get the regen.

    Brake Regeneration - Low To Non-Existent (Aussie Site - Discussion)

    I also had this, Model 3 2021. I thought I was going crazy as our Model Y was normal. But lo and behold, with the new update, I got my regen back! Woohoo!

    TACC failure on Tesla Vision software

    Driving up the East Coast we noticed that the MY did a lot of false braking (and scared the living 💩 out of me!) I don't notice it in my M3 but then I don't use TACC much around town. I've done all the updates in the M3, does that mean that radar has been disabled?

    For Australian Model Y Owners

    We are finding the Model Y pretty good, it's not as snappy as my Model 3, but has proven to really good for us and it is our main road trip vehicle now. Some minor panel alignment issues when taking delivery were quickly fixed (took 15 minutes) by the service Gods (the Canberra service center...

    Tesla Service in Australia - getting nowhere

    I've attended the service center once with the Model 3 (not in Sydney though) and once with the Model Y and my experience both times has really good. As a female, it has been appreciated as I can't say the same for all those years I suffered at the hands of other service centers!

    Lane Departure Avoidance

    Wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I've had my Model 3 for a year and a half and always had lane departure avoidance on "assist". Never once have I had any problems with it until the past two weeks. Everytime I've been out in the past two weeks, I've had the lane departure...

    Tesla Canberra on the move

    Not surprised, I did a feedback to Tesla on the delivery of our Model Y in the carpark which was mostly negative, it was dark, cramped and rushed. To dark to have a good inspection of the car before taking delivery. Delivery of our Model 3 was great as it was during Covid and was delivered to...

    Kerb rash

    Same issue, "Mr" kerbed my Model 3 so badly I had to replace the tyre and now have bad kerb rash... seems he has a problem as he also did it with his new Model Y!! I will use someone to fix it locally.

    What am I missing - EV pushback in Australia

    I'm a bored boomer 👵 and now own an SR+ (2021) and MY 22. Personally as a boomer, I'm relieved to get into a car without buttons everywhere that I'll never figure out what they do! I see a lot of anti EV information in the media and from friends which I mostly ignore as I'm not in the...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Not waiting anymore! Picked up our Blue/Black MY RWD today. There were about 30 in Canberra ready to be collected! Gotta be honest, I prefer my Model 3 after having driven it, but OH is happy and is taking it to Coffs tomorrow! Now a 2 x Tesla family ;)

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Got my SMS last week and booked to collect my blue Y on Friday 9th September - WOOHOO. Not before time as my Model 3 is starting to feel ordinary here in Canberra, I can't go out without seeing at least 6 Model 3's during a 20 minute drive! Gone are the days now when I waved to the 5 other...

    Model Y Accessories for Australia

    Has anyone tried to order the Tow Hitch from the Tesla Shop for the Model Y? I have tried but it comes up that I don't have a suitable vehicle for it, even though I have now paid for it and booked a delivery date. Hoping I can order asap.

    Best Way to Get Rid of the Old Non Tesla Car

    I'm trying the Tesla trade-in process as well after ordering the Model Y... interesting to see what response I get. Hubby wants me to trade in my Model 3... over my dead body, so I'm trading in his diesel SUV! 🤣

    Charging - Canberra to Hay, NSW

    Hey Everyone, I did a trip to Sydney last weekend to get used to charging, but now I want to go from Canberra to Hay, NSW. There is a Supercharger at Gundagai and some 22KW ones in Wagga, but then the next is off the main road (detour via Griffith) and then onto Hay... I want to do the trip...

    What to expect taking delivery of your Model 3

    Oh I remember that day when mine rocked up on a transport truck and unloaded in the street. A 10 year old boy walking past with his mother kept saying "look Mum - A TESLA!!" The car sparkled as they rolled it off the truck and I got lots of time to savour the moment. That was 6 months ago and...

    I wish I could tilt the screen!

    An update: I ended up buying a screen swivel from Tech Forum and had it installed by audio installers... it is great! I had a service problem with the screen (the thermostat fan was making a noise) and the Service techo's were great about having the swivel screen in after I explained that I...

    10 Teslas in 10 minutes

    Recently I have seen 6 Teslas, Model 3's, Model S and Model X while out on a short drive here in Canberra... there are so many everywhere, or is it that I just notice them now! Literally cannot leave home without seeing a Tesla these days.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I was you a few months ago 🥺... each day seems to drag while you're waiting... hang in there, it will be worth the wait. I watched as many videos as I could while waiting and found that it definitely helped me a lot when the car arrived. When it finally did arrive, we couldn't drive it as...

    Existing Inventory *unicorns*

    That was your undoing! Test driving these little beasts is what ropes you in and then it is down the Tesla rabbit hole forever - my sales advisor KNEW I would buy the Tesla after the test drive even though I was adamant I was going to wait for the Ioniq 5 to arrive! ;)

    Australian federal Strategy on Electric Cars

    I have seen Matt Kean and was amazed at how much I agreed with him. The Government and business do not really want EV's to take off here as there are too many industries, big and small business' associated with ICE cars that would suffer, guess that is how Blacksmith's felt when cars were...

    Australian federal Strategy on Electric Cars

    I don't understand why this Government is not using cash incentives to encourage more affordable EV purchases, obviously if there was such a "cash" incentive, I would be getting a Model Y to go with my Model 3! 🤣

    New Voice Commands needed

    I'm new to my Model 3 and have found that I operate most functions using voice command, helps with my limited eyesight to see the screen. Yesterday I tried a voice command that I thought (silly me) would be standard, I asked "what time is it" and tried many alternatives to try and get it to...

    Changing gears while moving

    I was in a carpark and stopped to check for oncoming cars, accidently hit the right stalk to indicate and went into reverse... whoops! Fortunate there was no car behind me, but made me wary of doing it again

    Mulgrave VIC delivery centre

    I had mine delivered and there were no issues, once it was delivered, I rang my contact and he talked me through it, but I also had an opportunity to inspect it prior. Was very exciting when the truck pulled up in the street and the driver drove my lovely new Tesla down to my driveway!

    Appreciate that info guys... so if it says it has CHAdeMO/CCS - does that mean it is okay to use as a CCS2?

    We always stop at Marulan going to Sydney from Canberra, I've checked if they have any charging stations but seems they don't. This is strange considering it is a hub to cater for travelers! Am I missing a network? I have signed up for Evie and ChargeFox at this stage.
