    Extending the reach of a 10A home charger

    Thanks @mukaibot for starting this thread. I had similar distance constraints at home and based on research (and aged 10A sockets) decided to spend around $600 and get a new double 15A point placed in a more logical location in the garage. However, as @louco73 noted, I haven't used it a stack...

    Tesla Fires

    Hi @Power Hungry I am sure you and your wife are a smart couple, and you have made a smart decision. Back yourselves and enjoy the wait, research, learning etc. Block the negativity and cross check the FUD. I had to wait the best part of a year for my 2022 M3 - during that period I told no...

    Model Y RWD sound system

    Congrats and well done... I've had my M3 RWD for 2000+ kms now and can't see myself buying an ICE ever again. My experience is the base-level audio is better than what was in the 2021 BMW that I had prior to delivery. At the same time, I was ultra impressed with the sound the first week or...

    Real world Model Y RWD efficiency

    That is outstanding @Maximillan. Just to confirm, you assess that 77% gave you 397kms (you were 100% on Friday), and therefore 1% = 5.15km, so all being equal you would get circa 500km if continued on and drained? I am getting nowhere near that efficiency on a month-old 1200km RWD 3 with...

    Model 3 RWD 2022 Efficiency - Canberra to Sydney

    Good Q @Maximillan - for simplicity, these are a couple of tracked summaries, and there would have been some short and medium drives & stays in my driveway over a day or two. Interestingly I did not drive between Sat PM and Tue AM this week (say 2.5 days) and I lost 2% for 0 Km (Sentry off at...

    Model 3 RWD 2022 Efficiency - Canberra to Sydney

    Many thanks for this info Hravani, @Vostok, @Punchbuggy @Maximillan @cafz and all 👍 As a recent M3 RWD owner (couple of weeks), I am watching Battery %, trying to get a feel for efficiency and general range. In short, it seems inefficient and inconsistent ie: generally uses more than I...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    G'day @Gogogav, @TE5L4 - If you or any Sydney-based folks are not that happy with your plate allocation and would consider an XX-11-ZZ custom with EV theme I picked & purchased but am looking to move on/no longer want, feel free to send a DM to me and I can share some details/costs/process. I...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    After an 11 month wait and a fair amount of whining from me, I also picked up my Nov 22 built Vanilla RWD delivery earlier this week. My delivery prep: new 15A socket installed in garage, insurance sorted (NRMA was best for me), final payment 3 days prior (allow time to rego etc), recall my...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Game not 100% over yet Raymond 🤣… another Feb Syd Vanilla order here still awaiting the circus to wrap up.. ie: no delivery date / SMS just yet.. yes, we will get there, and sure it will be worth the wait. Good luck to the punters collecting soon 👍

    It’s not their fault that they are clueless and still have a possible first pick up date of a Public Holiday (26 Dec) showing in their own app?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    App still showing Dec 26th - Jan 16th, but did received the "we estimate your vehicle delivery will now occur between mid-January and early February" email earlier. Who knows or can follow this circus... it gotta be in the next few weeks, but whatevs now me thinks - Syd deliveries largely dock...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Great quick review Studgun - cheers. Don't worry about the wireless changing, you've got to have something new to put on the shopping list and wait for. Maybe there is an adapter that could work for your phone?: Alternatively, feel free to shoot $35 into my Patreon account as an order fee...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yep, just got adjusted again: 26 Dec to 16 Jan, 2023. Some progress is +ve, but it does seem like the work experience kids are playing with the controls. I assume there is no way Dec 26th or Pub Hol Tue Dec 27th is a delivery option, so why not just paint reality, even with the wide window we...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Hi, while waiting thought I would research and set-up my Charge accounts (inc. Evie) and noticed the following: https://support.goevie.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/360022658593-How-do-I-order-and-activate-an-RFID-card- "Cost: As a promotion, RFID cards are currently $0." Disclaimer: also listed...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Likely valid views on both sides, but to me if expectations were set a little better upfront, I would probably be in a better frame of mind: eg: "we as SA's really know as much as you, beware your M3 could actually go significantly over our current EDD and hey, our #1 method of communication is...
