    Back seats and camping

    Unless you are a real shortarse you will be diagonal across to some extent. I am 5 10 and a side sleeper also. My advice is forget about the slight angle and concentrate on a mattress. As soft as the carpet feels it is thin and the back of the seat is hard as rock on my hips. The only sleep I...

    I've enagaged lawyers in an attempt to recover FSD cost (Australian owner)

    Not least would be paying your legal expenses. I think a judge would take a dim view of someone with enough money to pay their lawyer rather than comply with a tribunal ruling.
  3. Q

    Charging Port door closes immediately after opening

    Sounds easy enough so long as its applicable to MYLR.
  4. Q

    H&R Adventure Spring Lift anyone?

    I was under the impression they come with too much neg camber. Adding some positive camber via spacers would be a good thing for not chewing up inside edges of tyres before the rest is worn out.
  5. Q

    H&R Adventure Spring Lift anyone?

    I guess it rides similar enough but you have changed the geometry nonetheless. More camber.
  6. Q

    Any one knows if this plastic piece belongs to model Y? [resolved]

    I was going to say it looks like some kind of pipe holder, no idea why it is on your driven but Genius Boy finds it in Google. It's a brave new world alright.

    Used Model Y problem with glass / warranty claim

    From hanging around the forum for the last month or so... Once a service manager says you are going to be taken care of it goes along nicely.
  8. Q

    H&R Adventure Spring Lift anyone?

    Can you draw a picture?
  9. Q

    Heat pump compressor short cycling

    I'll say it again. Get the service manager to take your car for a week. If they still deny there is anything wrong you will have the energy use report to put in your complaint to whoever runs the motor vehicle commerce supervision over there. Over here it is a bit like a small claims court for...

    Tesla Bot

    Shovel snow like a human as in make a plan and deal to the snow with the least amount of shifting snow twice? That's almost up at the coffee test level.of cognition. You could give it instructions and it might do not a too bad of a job if you stood there making sure it wasn't making more work...
  11. Q

    Tesla Bot

    It can 'play' football. It can stand up if you push it over. What else would you like it to do without a human controlling it? Better hope it doesn't get mad at you and decide your head is best removed from your shoulders by swinging you by it.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Air suspension? Couldn't drive that anywhere here without it, you would collect roadkill possums and get stranded on bumps in the road.

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    It will be interesting to see if the "official" offer on your trade in comes close to the "estimated trade value". There must be a lot of horse trading going on with the Teslas flying out of the yards.
  14. Q

    Does the tesla come with floor mats

    Yep. Toy mats. I might keep them for if I ever trade it in. Not that I intend to trade it in before the mats are worth more than the car.
  15. Q

    Heat pump compressor short cycling

    Backing up a little, I omitted the transmitted radiation as it wasn't under discussion. If it isn't transmitted or reflected the only other option is absorption. I honestly do not know if UV and IR bounce off ceramic*, *buzzword for "special super duper", when it applies to a vinyl film off a...

    TPMS on non factory wheels

    Converts in back of envelope in head style very close to the price here. So yeah, fakers they must be.
  17. Q

    TPMS on non factory wheels

    At 4 new for 135 smackers I am almost certain you got "just like" OEM.
  18. Q

    Time to disable bluetooth as a key?

    Actually, in most civilised places your insurance co pays for your damage. They know full well you got in a smash. Maybe they hold it against you in the secret file, maybe not. I don't think a keycard is vulnerable unless they are right next to you to snatch it and beat you to a pulp or shoot...

    TPMS on non factory wheels

    Genuine Tesla sensors? There are a lot of fakes around and they have even taken to putting a T on them.
  20. Q

    TPMS on non factory wheels

    I think this all boils down to "sez who?". XL load rated tyres for Model Y unless you aren't carrying passengers.
  21. Q

    Heat pump compressor short cycling

    Reject is the wrong word entirely. Radiation is either reflected or absorbed. There is no such thing as rejection. So what happens to the UV? I don't actually know. Some will no doubt be reflected but I suspect most of it is absorbed as heat which warms the glass. Thankfully it's low energy...

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    You say that like you think you can rent or buy a site and a SC just appears and gets hooked up to the grid by magic.

    Charging Rates/How to find them

    Sales tax = 15% . They do they same stunt here. Nobody else is allowed to quote tax free prices in advertising!
  26. Q

    Long Term Battery Costs, Fears, and Serviceability

    I think the warranty on P versions is less than the regular models. Must be some fierce sun high in the sky beating on you. If it gets like that with a shade for me I will be properly insulating and covering the roof.
  27. Q

    I regret my Model Y purchase because of seat comfort and seating position problems

    For the OP if still around. I hope it got worked out. Something it looked like you missed is the adjustment of the steering wheel. I need to stretch my legs out due to injury making me too far from most steering wheels. The in out is a godsend. It may straighten me back out from decades of...

    Charging Rates/How to find them

    My power co recently installed aerials to transmit use data from the meters. They say it works. Then they say if it doesn't work well enough they have to flat rate it. If it requires flat rating for three nights straight they put you back on flat rates and forget about night rates. Smells like...

    accessory to add power/usb port behind screen?

    It can't provide power without it leading from somewhere and you didn't say anything about buying an aftermarket screen mount. Best of luck in your quest.

    Gen 3 Wall Connector logging?

    Is that live already?
  31. Q

    Gen 3 Wall Connector logging?

    It would be very helpful if you could make a similar correlation with the amount of charge added. It gets murkier and more when you think about the fact they claim to be setting up WC3 to be able to be used as bonafide billing machines.
  32. Q

    Steering mode

    I would look at it thusly. How much energy do you expend steering in sport mode vs comfort mode. No a heck of a lot of difference right? There's your answer. Without going around a lazy figure 8 track there would be little point in trying to prove how much more power is soaked up in comfort...

    accessory to add power/usb port behind screen?

    Where would this accessory socket set get its power if not the same USB in the glovebox?
  34. Q

    The external surface of roof and back glass is so “sticky”

    You aren't parked anywhere near a sycamore tree by any chance? All that lovely tree juice. I wish they would keep it for themselves.

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    Yes. Non refundable if they decline you the credit. It's messed up because they won't be doing anything about securing you a vehicle until your credit it approved. Esentially it is a loan application fee. Once the credit is approved it becomes a non refundable purchase order deposit. That was...
  36. Q

    Tesla still doesn't know about the Rozelle Interchange

    There's probably a much more important reason. If you rebroadcast GPS you can use the civilian signal to get sub cm accuracy in real time. Nobody wants a self guided missile built in some disaffected whizzkid's garage flying in through the Prime Minister's front window, for example.
  37. Q

    Charging Rates/How to find them

    You could post a redacted bill and all would become clear. Name, address, property ID, customer number all scrubbed out. Careful what programme if you do it digitally. Some masks are easily lifted off.

    Free Standard Connectivity for new cars limited to 8 years

    We did a company group signup for BP fuel cards and those who took it up get a handy discount off pump prices here in QT. I wonder if they would do Tesla Motors Club scheme once they get to doing the E on fuel cards.
  39. Q

    Bush Engineering Roof Rack Challenge.

    What I want is to avoid drilling through my rack to attach the taxicab top light. It also needs to be easily demounted without taking off the top cover. Bit of an ask. Can leave hardware behind on the rack so long as the light comes off cleanly. Less is more as it's wind resistance I don't...

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    Word to the wise. Be aware that you need to be sure you are going to get the Tesla finance before making an order and paying your order fee to set the ball rolling. They declined a fella the other day after chopping what they said his trade in would contribute. Then they snaffled his order fee...

    Will I get a MYP today? (First car declined delivery 🥺)

    Seems the whole outfit needs top to bottom new management to consistently match service with the cars they are selling. You would think they could learn some cheap lessons on that from the rest of the world rather than feel the need to remodel the entire auto industry.
  42. Q

    Charging Rates/How to find them

    This is worth exploring some more. As I recall, the energy put into the battery is 85% of what came out of the wall unit. If working from what the car reports as charge received the multiplier would be plus 17%. If the wall unit reports separately it would be 1:1 precisely. Or rather, it...

    Is it ok to change to “P” before the car is completely not moving?

    We have come a long way since Flintstones tech was all we had.
  44. Q

    Free Standard Connectivity for new cars limited to 8 years

    Not sure what you are saying. Do you mean you are chucking the app after trips and uploading again for next one? Having no account do you get the same pricing?
  45. Q

    Charging Rates/How to find them

    Looks about right if you charged twice in two days. There is I think commonly extra charges applied per kW used but those are small in comparison to the tariff. Also there may be sales tax applied after the usage bill is calculated.
  46. Q

    Is it ok to change to “P” before the car is completely not moving?

    Good plan. Charge into your garage and you won't have to worry about brakes going rusty.
  47. Q

    Free Standard Connectivity for new cars limited to 8 years

    Yeah. No way to plan a journey through uncharted territory a day ahead. They want to play fast and loose with rates. Are they buying power at spot rates or negotiating flat rates? At the markup they get they couldn't lose much by flat rating the customers while buying on spot. The only reason...
  48. Q

    Ordering Process is Bunk

    Those people come out of the woodwork when you mention small claims. Hopefully you don't need to go as far as threatening that. The 3000 shortfall carrot is entrapment to relieve you of 25O snackers if you ask me. Hopefully no need for that language. Just mention the out of hand one sided...
  49. Q

    Returned to Tesla after a 2 year break. My thoughts.

    I concur. Which is good since I bought it for a cab with no test drive! Too far away from the big city. I did check one out belonging to a enthusiastic customer. She was only too happy to show me around hers after a ride home from the airport. The ride suitabilty decision was based on the...
