Picture from PlugShare dated 12 April showing the same panel ajar which was the day it came out of the box. So likely shipping damage.

I’m the only “Boomer” not on FB.🤷🏻‍♂️ Pretty sure Holly, the mother, would be; she’s on everything else.

Hoping some Model Y owners can help. My niece owns a small car and has a little girl about 1 years old now. She and her husband intend to have at least one more but that will mean a bigger car. Uncle Mark is trying to steer them towards a second hand Model Y but he can’t answer any questions...

Moderators note: Why not both?

Is that the forward facing camera or the reversing camera? If it’s the reversing camera it may be the boot harness failing. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-3-the-model-3-trunk-harness-recall.252196/

I refer to my post, directly above yours.

I went through the Rozelle interchange last night and the tunnels are on the map, dashed lines, but the turn by turn directions didn’t recognise that we were in the tunnel and would give surface road directions which make it more confusing than without directions.

Moderators note: The “discussion” as to whose fault it was that the Benalla Superchargers did not get built has run its course, and both sides have had their say. I reserve the right to delete any further discussion on this specific topic going forward.

I had a similar issue when Tesla upgraded my MCU. They replaced the SIM and reception improved substantially.

My MCU1 was on its last legs and needed regular almost daily resets to maintain operation. I logged a request about the chip recall and Tesla responded with, “Sure we’ll replace the memory chip, but it will still not resolve the loss of connectivity when 3G is retired”. That’s when I decided to...

It’s a bit of a throwback to when we received Model S, X and the first Model 3s from the USA factory in Freemont California. The accuracy of fit and finish has never been world leading from that factory and 2019 when the first Model 3s arrived in Australia was at the tail end of production ramp...

I finally bit the bullet in February and had the MCU1 upgraded to MCU2 as the original MCU was becoming very slow and needed multiple resets on occasion to get it to function. Being one of the oldest Model S in Australia it needed additional hardware which brought the cost to $2,780. When I...

Yes, I believe Dubai cars are made in Shanghai so the trip will be of a similar length to cars destined for Australia. They may also be offloaded at Singapore like cars destined for Perth Western Australia. Have a read of this thread and you may pick up some useful information to help you...

Put the address of your final or furthest destination into your navigation. If it’s within the Tesla Supercharger network the car will do all the work for you, down to when you will get to the next charging stop, how long to charge and what state of charge you will have at each stop along the...

Almost didn’t comment as I anticipated a response like this. I am in favour of a less car centric city too and support many of the initiatives like bike lans and better public transport, it’s a complex subject. However my partner is an architect and specialised in multi dwelling buildings...

Not really a surprise at all, City of Sydney Council is fairly anti-Car of any type. They want you to take public transport, or ride your bike. This is fine if you’re going somewhere within Council area but more problematic for longer trips but happen to live in the Council area.

Moderators note: Thread title changed to included Free Standard Connectivity- -.

It’s Prince’s Highway with the apostrophe removed. Named after Prince Edward, later King Edward VIII, later after abdicating Duke of Windsor. Come to think of it, now that I know that fact, I think it needs a new name.

Will the car receive software updates? The car can receive updates over WiFi so I don’t see any reason why not. However the maps and navigation are locked to the home country so would not be functional. Do the maps work on US cars though, possibly not. Will the car infotainment language be...

Don’t doubt your experience. I too live in a cool environment, living in the Southern Highlands of NSW. I’m not defending Teslas position, but I also think the inspector is being unreasonable. But you live in the environment not me. Despite being very popular amongst the Uber crowd in Sydney...

Moderators note: It’s not appropriate to ‘Dare’ anyone. You’ve made your point and others have responded. To all members, please keep the conversation civil. Moderators hat off My Model S is 8.5 years old and gets washed weekly. It suffers from similar condensation, particularly in winter...

My powered strut failed under warranty at about year 2. So it does happen occasionally. New one at about 6 years later is rock solid.

Yes they do, only it’s not as featured as the iOS app. For example there’s no ‘Play Next’ feature on Tesla version of the app and you can’t pre download podcasts either. Both would be very useful to avoid having to touch the screen whilst driving.

Oh lovely! :mad: I’m in the middle of a Strata project to install charging for a basement car park of a large apartment building with 155 parking spaces. Will make the next meeting interesting.

Moderators Note: It’s a built in feature of the forum software to restrict and moderate usage of advanced features until a new member gains a minimum number of posts and it always has been. Negative comments about Tesla and or their products is allowed. The difficulty is when that becomes an...

I think 250Kw relates to the capacity of the charger, not sure what the max charge rate for Model 3 (LFP) but others may know. Initial state of charge, the temperature of the battery, ambient temperature, capacity of the site and number of other cars charging at the site can all make a...

If you must have an extension lead, search for welding machine extension cords like below. But all that others have said above still applies. https://unimig.com.au/product/15a-heavy-duty-extension-lead/

I think I have to agree that everything that could be said about the Supercharger team sackings has been said. So I will be reserving the right to delete any more comments on that subject going forward. I’m not going to create a new thread specifically for that topic here as it’s not an...

Also on my 2014 Model S.

Not something the Forum software supports. The only way is to create a new separate thread which can be stuck.

The battery location on earlier Model S is different to the later models shown in the video. It’s somewhat harder to remove and replace as it’s is buried further back adjacent to the firewall. I had my 12V battery replaced by Tesla and it was no more expensive than any other mechanic, plus they...

Moderators note: Hopefully the OPs original Victoria specific question has been answered. Let me know if not. Removed references to Victoria from title to allow broader discussion.

You’re welcome. ☺️

Unpopular opinion: I think the last industry we should be relying on to build out public DC charging is the Fossil Fuel Industry. I’m not even all that comfortable with Evie which is partially owned by a coal Barron Trevor St Baker. They will make sure it’s never ‘too’ successful to threaten...

I keep my cars for an average of about 12 years so intend to keep it for a while longer. If I have to replace the battery I will just add another couple of years beyond to make up for the cost of the replacement. I’m at 250,000Km (circa 150,000 miles) but the car is holding up very well both...

If the deal is good, I would definitely switch. At least you won’t need to ask for a special EV charging rate.

I have charged my original NMC battery from about 40% to 90% with infrequent top ups to 100%, perhaps every 3 to 4 months depending upon need. It’s only been below about 30% a few dozen times, so after 8.5 years I’m getting about 12% degradation. From my experience you can over think the top end...

I was involved in the transfer of the Motor Vehicle Database from BONUS to Huon for Car insurance and CTP. But that’s not what got me removed. But that’s off topic so I’ll stop here. When NRMA got into the DC charging (Supercharging) business I gave them some advice that they completely ignored...

This refers to the ability of the page to search for up to 15 vehicles with each having a 17 digit VIN, all at the same time.

The first picture seems to show some substance on the lens that could be water spotting. Try soaking a small section of a soft cloth with vinegar and apply to the lens to see if the substance is removed.

I worked at NRMA during the whole demutualisation process. Everyone had to reapply for their job and in my case I was unsuccessful and was the reason I left. P.S. If anyone received an NRMA car insurance renewal with a zero agreed value, I know exactly why and it was despite my attempts to...

Yurong Street Sydney EVX chargers are clearly marked on poles and roadway. Fewer Nervous Nellies in the area?

Moderators Note. I’m aware that the demographic for this website is male dominated but I try to keep it family friendly and inclusive. I have deleted a couple of posts recently that don’t meet that target. No one is in trouble, just keep that in mind. If you disagree with my moderation you’re...

The Model S in development was referred to as Whitestar. The 2019 update was called Raven The Model 3 in development was referred to as bluestar. As Model X and Model Y were derived from Model S and Model 3 respectively they didn’t get development names to my knowledge. So there is precedent...

Still have mine in the garage, - somewhere? 🤔

In the early days of Tesla, when Model S and X were the only models available, updates were downloaded via 3G/4G however Tesla stopped this as it was blowing out the cost of providing Premium Connectivity which many Model S/X got free for the life of the car. Now you must be connected to a...

Moderators note. Changed title to give details of the questions asked. This allows a solution to be searched for by someone who may have the same problem or question.

I doubt it; the few times I have been to a drive through in my Model S even that feels tight.

It’s bloody enormous! Not sure how the exposed front edge of the front guards will get through ADRs. It’s locked so you can only view it from the outside and get your picture taken by Sentry if you press on one of the access buttons on the B and C pillars. ☺️ Can’t say I’m a fan, but they tell...
