    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    Its ok, just needs more work. Id start by writing a email documenting your interactions with Tesla. Ask what can be done here for recertification. Then they will fob you off, then ask again with a dead line. Then they will fob you off again, then take those to the ACCC and/or your state...

    Classic cars that are restored with all the technology a Tesla: any interest?

    Not sure what it more heresy, EV stang or RB motor swap into a stang. Personally Id get a classic EV and swap in the Tesla powertrain into it. Its the equivalent of a LS swap into a old school V8. Detroit Electric - Wikipedia Henney Kilowatt - Wikipedia

    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    Should of watched Rich rebuilds channel first perhaps. Don't know why you'd sink all your money into a project car. Salvage cars are always a gamble. Not sure about NZ but ACCC or Fair trading should help, state Ombudsman as well. I use the last office against the RMS here in Sydney. Got a pic...

    Drilled and Slotted performance brake rotor for Model 3?

    Can have the slots milled into your current rotor but I wouldn't recommend it. If you feel the need for rice, saw plastic brembo brake covers on ebay. In terms of braking Ferodo do DS2500s for the M3. I have these they are great brake pad but they squeal in traffic. Found slotted rotors great...

    Tesla Whistleblower releases VINs with alleged punctured battery cells - Who's got a 3 on the list?

    Makes no sense. These battery modules are made quickly, binning damaged ones isnt a issue why would Tesla put in defective cells? Just grab a new one from the parts bin, why would anyone track defective cell VINs? Seems like more FUD. This guy isn't trustworthy and has money on the line here...

    When will Model 3 deliveries commence for Australia?

    In other words 2020 for none reservation holders

    Why I’m tired of hearing from impatient whingers about Model 3 wait

    Nice that's what i like to do as well. I don't think most do that in this country btw Takes money to do that in WA, work in mining I guess. WA has a renewable energy plan?

    Why I’m tired of hearing from impatient whingers about Model 3 wait

    I vote but masses keep coal loving idiots running our country. Honestly if you are so concerned with air pollution why do you have a EV? You, know how our power is generated right? Bus or train would be getter answer there, sorry no weetabix for you. And Nope, my car is reliable 400HP and it...

    Say no to Saudi Arabia

    Love that Goldman Sachs, which has been described as "Vampire Squid on the face of humanity" is largely ignored for the racist rhetoric. Either way I'm for Tesla going private, it will be a better company without the daily stock market circus and mass media FUD. Also will help faster adoption...

    Senate select committee on Electric vehicles

    BS when it goes to Federal gov, they will gives subsidies to cars running on brown coal.

    Why I’m tired of hearing from impatient whingers about Model 3 wait

    Id rather wait and drive my old nugget Subaru than spend money on a Hyundies. $75k for a Samsung/LG EV, serious? That aside, I'll probably wait longer for the Model Y, I'd prefer a CUV over a sedan.

    Easier to steal a plane than a Tesla...

    Seems you guys excel in white collar crim types, kudos there. For us mainly old $#ITboxes that joyriders like, Nissans, Holdens, honduh, those cars that can be started with a popsicle stick. Kinda what I was alluding to. There was a huge car birth market here but the real money was parting...

    Easier to steal a plane than a Tesla...

    Cant steal a plane with a flat bed truck. Does the US have crappy car thieves or something? Load on flat bed, disconnect LTE by either disconnecting 12V and/ or cutting main power line in the frunk. Then chop up and part out $$$$

    BBC: Scientists create battery that refuels electric cars in seconds

    Future is solid state, not liquid suspensions. Issue of contamination, degradation, all of which is already a none issue with batteries. Another pie in the sky research grant application.

    Spotted in Australia and New Zealand

    I thought the S was boring in the pics but in the metal I really loved it. Guessing it will be the same with the 3, that's why I'm eager to see it, stop me buying a ICE.
