    Is it illegal to speed to the speed limit from the traffic lights when the signal turns green?

    Slightly off topic, but a friend of mine was given a ticket (careless driving?) because someone was running a red light, he was turning right at the intersection, and he failed to give way to this red-light person. This resulted in an accident. I don’t know all the details, but if you go off...

    Aussie queues this long weekend

    We drove back from GC to Melbourne over the last two days. Nuts. Having a LR vehicle helps, due to the ability to dodge a congested charger. We were waiting at Cassegrain for a while, but while we were waiting, 9 cars showed up! Don’t rely on Maclean, apparently the power supplies get too...

    Model 3 Highland live now

    Still chin scratching. Maybe it is a bad habit, but when doing a three point turn, I generally have my hands on the steering wheel at all times.

    Model 3 Highland live now

    I’m contemplating upgrading from a 4-year M3LR coming out of lease, I don’t really mind the stalkless indicators, but scratching my chin at trying to do a 3-point turn with a screen change of gears….

    Anybody have direct experience with Amber Electricity in Victoria?

    James - is this really what it means? I thought that with this symbol, it means that you are actually charged to put power into the grid. It is only when the FIT is high that you can make money from putting money into the grid. Overall, I thought that Amber adds up all the power export at...

    Anybody have direct experience with Amber Electricity in Victoria?

    Hi all, I hear about opportunities for good savings using Amber and high feed in payments at certain times in NSW, for example. I am currently with another provider, with a reasonable plan, with a couple of PW2s, and a 3 phase system. I did try Amber for a little while over summer, but just...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I downloaded the 12.9.1 last might. I could be wrong but I found that speed limits were changing with the variable led speed signs! Anyone else have this happening?

    Tesla Model Y-LR in Australia

    Talked with Tesla about changing our SR to LR yesterday, told it would be up to 5 business days. Went in this morning - it can now be changed as an “edit” of the current order. :) Delivery time - TBD….

    Does using supercharger actually save money for a road trip compared to petrol?

    Thinking about it - I think that networks are eyeing off the much more profitable opportunities of getting people who live in high-rises and units (with no solar and ability to charge at home) to charge regularly from a supercharger, than the hoteling theory outcomes of highway driving. Tesla...

    [Autopilot disabled due to] System Failure

    I’ve just had this on the non-FSD most recent update of firmware. I was able to get the cruise control working, but have tried removing USB storage, hard resetting and sleeping. Did you get any joy or improvement?

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    With the new software, I thought I’d check out the battery health with Service Mode. I can get to the code entry, but it then does nothing. Is this geolocked for near the service centre?

    What is the state of play in Oz with V2G?

    Thanks. Interesting regarding the standard approval. Good info.

    What is the state of play in Oz with V2G?

    Hi Tesla brains trust, I’ve read about 2025 as a year where more EVs will be using V2G than just the Leaf etc. I can’t see anywhere whether or not this is legally mandated, expected or just a pipe dream. Can anyone help lay out exactly what the state of play is for this facility in a...

    Anyone used the Cobram VIC RACV Chargefox Supercharger recently?

    I'm going up to Cobram soon from Melbourne. Trying to work out whether or not to supercharge at Euroa, or aim for Cobram directly. Thanks
