In that case it makes sense the two values are the same in the API.

Does the model 3 (in-car display) allow you to switch between "rated range" (EPA) and "ideal range"? (also known as "typical range" (EPA) and "rated range" (NEDC) in Europe/Australia etc) like the Model S and X do? They use different efficiency values (200Wh/km and 160Wh/km on my model S) so...

The seasons on the official Tesla map are US centric Eg Singleton which says "Fall 2018" @Chuq helpfully transcribed those to Aussie seasons in this post above.

Yes, or borrow TOCA's

Nice photo of Tessie & short story by David Cann in the latest Horizons magazine (RAC WA)

It's the number of milliseconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC Like a Unix Timestamp but with 3 more digits. Here's a converter 1526441782 Is equivalent to: 2018-05-16T03:36:22+00:00 in ISO 8601

There's no such colour. Steel Grey got renamed to Midnight Silver And from Meloccom's first link "The New Metallic Grey - Steel Grey now called Midnight Silver paint code is PMNG"

That car definitely doesn't have Autopilot hardware. You can also tell by the instrument cluster still showing the old analog speedo/power meter but with a representation of the car in the centre. And if the "first P85+ in Australia" is correct it was this demo one that arrived in mid...

Just bear in mind that the Frunk (Froot!) could be difficult or impossible to open after a crash - which is when you're most likely to need that med kit! I keep my emergency supplies (sat phone, etc) in the sub-boot - even if the hatch can't be opened it can always be accessed by folding down...

No I'm talking about a type2-type2 adapter, wired like the EVnomics type1-type2 adapter. You'd need something like the EVNomics type1-type2 adapter, except using a type2 "vehicle inlet" You can't use the type2-type2 cable I linked earlier because the type2 standard specifically forbids the...

Angle parking is also a problem, especially if combined with a narrow one-way street so there's no room to turn the car around and reverse in, leading to desperation parking like this (in Dunsborough) Somehow people make the assumption that all EVs have charge-ports in the same place...

It's really unfortunate Tesla are installing three-phase HPWC at single phase sites (as opposed to their surplus single-phase HPWCs) as this causes the problem as described for the original single-charger Model S Don't wire it up that way. The adapter only needs to connect to L1 on the...

Does that sign say "small car space" ? Have they met a Tesla in person?

And positive coverage at CarAdvice about the standards.

There's a good one at Trans-Oz Tesla on Twitter
