    Perth 2022 Blue LR Model 3 on Aussiecams

    I'm 100% with you. It was clearly roadworks, < 90km/hr with a number of (initially) slower vehicles in the left lane, so the whole "travelling in right lane" discussion is moot. Note also the Tesla didn't have a lot of room after the van pass, and starts aiming to the right just before the...

    I've been waiting years and years for fsd, and still zip, nada. Not even offered a beta test...

    Was wondering if anyone else also had this idea. For an MY19, instead of paying for FSD it instead paid for the car.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    But, but, but... this would mean Elon sometimes makes misleading tweets: Say it ain't so! ;)

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Same here. One day, after it failed to recognise an unrelated bug report I was trying to submit, I decided to have fun with it and tried "bug report voice recognition doesn't understand bug report" multiple times until it finally worked... wonder what the engineers made of it :D

    Best NSW e-tag mounting location for Model 3

    Best option: don't have an eTag. In my case, I called Roam/Linkt early in our ownership, pointed out the tag was working unreliably, and they exempted it from the license plate reading fee due to having a metallicised windscreen iirc. YYMV.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I'm with you on that. Need to switch between at least two graphs to intuit what you used to be able to just see with one. I'd prefer uglier and more/retained functionality over pretty and reduced functionality, but if modern UI/UX is representative I guess I'm in the minority.

    Planning for a grid outage with PW2?

    Last time we had a planned outage, I went with this method. Works as you'd expect.

    In a word, yep. Just wait till you hear your first supercharging "thunk"!

    New AU FSD vrs USA FSD post June 21

    This oft-repeated narrative is not well founded, seemingly having arisen anecdotally or from earlier studies that failed to fully account for temporal confounding factors like the Great Recession. In more recent studies of both revealed and stated preferences, Millennial car ownership and/or...

    Has anyone taken their Tesla onto the Sydney Motor Sport Park / Eastern Creek for a race day/night?

    I have a helmet you might be able to use, assuming a AS/NSZ1698 compliant visorless head bucket from 2008/9 is allowed. Pretty much identical to this: RXT - Challenger Open Face Helmet Bought and used only on that same day, and put back in the box for at least a decade, so if there’s any germs...

    NSW Police Targeting Teslas?

    I'll start off by acknowledging that copping two fines no doubt stings, and does seem (assuming the driver was respectful, courteous and acknowledged their errors) a harsh discretionary choice by the officer. However, before challenging the double-dipping, note that a careful review of the...

    Powerwall 2 Install by ******* - Not happy!

    You may well be aware of this, but for the benefit of those who don’t: strictly speaking, the PW2 doesn’t backup a phase. It can provide backup to one or more circuits, with the restriction that these circuits must reside on the same phase. (Under normal operations, that phase can still supply...

    Evie EV charging networks

    And looking at your checkin time, it was my wife who was not so careful with the activation when you were there. :) Sincere apologies again for the confusion from her, and thanks for the chuckle from me...

    Sydney - New M8 Tunnel weirdness

    Maybe think about it for a little longer. Purely? Is an Autopilot mile the same as a non-Autopilot mile? Is there no selection bias here where drivers are favouring the use of Autopilot on the “easy” (eg. highway) miles? This driver certainly does. Apologies to you and Tesla if these figures...

    Has anyone successfully mounted their car?

    Too much self isolation.
