Long range or performance?

I pulled the froot lining out of the front of my car recently. It's pretty easy to do. There's an interesting sticker in there which states the battery capacity of my car a SR+.

Fantastic and incredible result! IMHO this shows that there still areas where autopilot can be improved. I definitely wouldn't be lingering in that spot alongside a semi and autopilot probably shouldn't be there as well. Another area where I find autopilot to be a bit disconcerting is that it...

Ever heard of the Latte Line in Sydney? It's a line which runs approximately from the airport through Parramatta which supposedly divides well off areas from less well off areas. Looking at the ChargeFox app it looks like ChargeFox has decided that the Latte Line should also divide people who...

Just wondering if anyone else has an issue where they are unable to raise the angle of their rear vision mirrors high enough. I'm not overly tall at 182 cms, I drive with the seat at it's lowest position but when I try to raise the mirrors they reach an end stop which is still quite a bit lower...

I must say I was a bit uncertain about the change. Until I saw the new red Model Y's with black trim. That was a tipping point and the result seems far better. I can't speak for how it would work with other colours.

Thanks. By far the hardest part is in taping out before spraying. As a spraying newbie I was mostly just careful not to spray too much. I did four coats, with about twenty minutes between each coat on a warm day, and there are no runs or drips. The finish is fine, about the same as the black...

This is how my car used to look.. And this is what it looks like now after spending the best part of a day spray painting the chrome trim around the windows and mirrors with plasti-dip.. Thoughts?

Hi Bomidi. Yes it was done in Sydney by Precision Automotive Detailing. The person's name is Mark - he has been doing this about 12 years, he did a great job. It cost $1000.

I had a feeling my cheap from the markets $10 floor mats would get me by until a set of reasonable and right hand drive floor mats came along and it appears they have. Today I ordered a set of Australian made RHD Model 3 floor mats for $99 including delivery from FitMyCar. The ones for the...

Did anyone else get blue triangular 'EV' stickers and a letter which, according to the NSW government, I am 'required' to stick onto my number plates to help first responders? Anyway I stuck them on and they look fine. It kind of gives the plates a vaguely European appearance. I wonder what...

I had my car ceramic coated yesterday and this is how it looks.

I'm no motor reviewer but here goes... I'm comparing my SR+ to my previous car which is BMW 1 Series rear wheel drive. They are quite different, the Tesla is like a luxury saloon car with great acceleration and cornering ability. The BMW feels more like a hot hatch. In cornering ability I'd...

I suspect they would be running AI as well to work out good guys vs bad guys, reasonable or suspicious goings on and so on. For that you need to run gpu cores - lots of them - and this could easily use 100 - 200 watts of power.

Got version 10 no FSD SR+ this morning as well. I was just out for a drive (no wifi connected) and while parked thought I'd try a few things and everything works! Car-aoke, Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Tune-in radio, web browser etc. This is an enormous upgrade and I haven't even had the car...
