    Insurance is getting out of hand

    Can you let me know who you are using? I have been with Comminsure for a few years. Also a 2017 P100D. Max no claim bonus (have never made a claim), no tickets, 55 years old, car a year older and I drive ~ 7,000 km per year. My premium went from $2852 to $4619. WTAF?

    Refresh Model X & S Waiting Room - AUSTRALIA (Orders cancelled by Tesla May2023)

    Elon has been such a huge disappointment on so many levels. I will find it hard to buy another Tesla (and not just because I can't buy a new S or X in Aus). The trouble is that the only other EV that appeals to me is the Cross Turismo - but that car is not perfect and close to $400k when fully...

    My First Tesla-2021 Model S Plaid MSM-Pics

    Looks insanely good. Much, much better.

    Model S intermittently loses 4G/LTE/network connectivity while powered off

    I have exactly this issue with both of our cars. Only started after each was upgraded to MCU 2. Very frustrating. And worse, I can no longer rely on unlocking the car with my phone or watch. Got caught out after a surf recently. Came back to the car and couldn’t get in.

    Thredbo/ Snowy Mountains in 2021

    Yikes. I can imagine. I’ll be arriving Sat and departing Thursday... 🤞

    &^%$% Owner's Manual!

    It’s incredible how poorly implanted this is. Even on MCU2 it’s hopeless. No search??

    How reliable is Spotify these days?

    It has improved quite a bit since you had your S. Not everything has... But for me the big change was when I had my cars updated to MCU2. Spotify is very solid and voice searches for music are are very quick.

    Thredbo/ Snowy Mountains in 2021

    Thanks Ted. Yeah I have the Chargefox app and saw those chargers. But, was really only planning on using the Superchargers in Cooma. But your ponts are well made and will keep this in mind. I had my car upgraded to take the CCS2 but not my wife’s car - I guess I had better get that done. I...

    Thredbo/ Snowy Mountains in 2021

    Thanks. Yeah I will put her into deep sleep for the week. Might do a top up in Jindy too

    Thredbo/ Snowy Mountains in 2021

    Hey guys I am taking the fam to Thredbo at the end of June. Haven't been for 25 years and certainly not in an EV. I found a few posts but they are fairly old now. Has anyone been up there recently (last 12 months or so?). We will be taking my wife's 250WH/KM Model X... The charging options in...

    MagSafe and Model 3 in Australia

    I have it in my car. I mounted a MagSafe charger to the right side of the dash and tucked the cord behind the dash down to the power in the console. The MagSafe holds the phone even through hard acceleration all while charging at a high rate. No need for a different case or bulky mount. Best...

    MCU1 upgrade

    I had my car done in Feb. $2300 with no tuner. My wife’s car is going for the same on Tuesday. The quote they sent for approval is at $2900. I wrote back and said wtf? They came back and told me there had been a price increase but that they’d honor the old price since I’m a loyal customer etc...

    SW version 2021.4.12 - hopeless (in Aus at least)

    Yeah. I’ve seen it for years with overpasses, large signs above the road. But never from trucks in the next lane. This is different. But you’re right, even (dumb) cruise control would be better than this.

    SW version 2021.4.12 - hopeless (in Aus at least)

    Wanted to share my experiences after a lot of driving in the past 72 hours with this software. For context I have a Model S P100D with HW3, MCU2 and FSD. I drove from Sydney to Beechworth VIC and back. Up and down the Hume. Overall, I would say the autopilot experience has never been worse...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Thanks I have since figured that out. In fact yesterday I had the MCU2 installed and it has the same (2020) update. Strange.
