    Jolt now up to 24 sites in Adelaide. 3 sites recently added in Norwood council region. Interestingly listed as NOR001, NOR003 and NOR004. This would suggest there should be a NOR002 coming.

    2016 MX start up time - what is normal?

    My mid 2017 Model X is experiencing the same thing. Not only in the morning but other times of day as well. I had a similar issue with Model S and then the MCU failed. After the MCU was fixed the problem resolved. I am wondering if was just a coincidence or if it is a warning that the MCU is...
