    Tesla battery event Hornsdale

    Australia's electricity and gas affordability crisis Love the Battery but unfortunately its just another company taking advantage of our #@$%$# up energy policy. ... do we think its a coincidence that the worlds biggest battery finds a profitable home in our modest country that has horrendous...

    Volume on Tesla Model 3. Why no gradual rise?

    Agree. Not every pause, but definitely some un-pauses result in a “sound spike” which caused me to flinch because it really does sound like the speakers just got hammered. (Predominantly Spotify use) I’m no audio engineer but looking back I now believe all my others cars had some sort of soft...

    Anyone tinted the glass roof, results?

    Very few of my passengers have realised that there are shades in place, but I agree on the reduced rear headroom, That said, none of my passengers have ever been tall enough (yet) to notice that too :D

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Really don't see how LiDAR is going to be stable when EVERY vehicle on the road is trying to use it ....... And even if they have new, better algorithms to filter out the interference, thats likely going to take shyt loads of processing power.

    Anyone tinted the glass roof, results?

    Huh!? I don't know how, you virtually can't see them from the outside and barely notice they are there when inside.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Sure, but to me whether ICE or M3, it HIGHLY dependent on the typical types of bitumen (quality) that are on your route & the speed for those routes. i.e. A freeway with a nice smooth top ... SUPER quiet for both with most tires. Then: ICE all you can hear is the bloody engine M3 all you can...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Phantom Braking - still happening for me very occasionally on Freeways ... but in almost every case I note that theres an Overpass ahead of me & (bright) daytime. Not sure if its the overpass itself or very heavy shadows under it ... or both.

    HEPA filter in Tesla Model 3?

    Default protection. Tesla Model 3 protects owner from unsafe air even without Bioweapon Defense Mode

    Air Quality in Canberra worst in the world today.

    For those of us with M3s Tesla Model 3 protects owner from unsafe air even without Bioweapon Defense Mode

    How good are Tesla’s in Australia’s extreme heat?

    ... looked at it again today, I seem to get different "output" 1 day vs another ... I'm now wondering if its deliberately regulating A/C output based on what it believes the external temperatures are, not just the internal. Hence only manual operation works to override it.

    How good are Tesla’s in Australia’s extreme heat?

    Agree, M3 A/C is not what I would have expected, it seems fairly capable, but doesnt run in a consistent way. Maybe its the glass and IR. I have in-roof sun-shades front and rear ... but still it's really hard to get a consistent, comfortable setting.

    I absolutely Love driving my Tesla

    Absolutely!! It’s even a joy to drive to work, traffic jams are so low stress with FSD and tons of entertainment options.
