Think about it like this. They took our money illegally and want us to agree not to sue them if they are kind enough to give us our own money back. How about they just give our money back with a nice note to say they are sorry. We are all lucky enough to get our money back because a few...

I finally received my refund entitlement letter today, just as the AFR posted an article about the governments chutzpuh in demanding an indemnity. If anyone is planning on refusing to sign the indemnity - I would be happy to join in the fight...

As the cameras are on the windscreen Tesla need to calibrate the camera on the new windscreen. As someone who has had three windscreens replaced, O'Briens always say they can't fix it, and then Tesla does it. It just takes a few extra days to go through that process. ymmv.

Yes, legacy S. Has one profile set to no-regen. Despite setting my (separate) profile to maximum regen, the regen is basically non-existent. Completely unrelated scenario:- My Model Y had a flat tyre. The roadside assist installed a different size model 3 tyre (yes, separate issue, but...

Interesting video. Looks like driving below 0km was a pretty good idea for the first 55km

Yes. Easy install. Works.

Installed the Teslogic setup. Happy enough with it - use it mainly on long drives. Self installation was perhaps a 30 minute job, and I am not very good at these things!

Received the app update (android). It took a minute to find the menu (manually swipe from the left-most menu). First impressions: Love the large-text on main screen option. Navigation still not working for me. (2022 LFP RHD Model Y)

I am struggling to love the 'phone as key'/bluetooth - it's a bit hit and miss compared to the old model S fob. Particularly when opening the non-drivers door first. I feel a bit stupid when I try to open the door and it doesn't work first time. Especially when I am already doing hand...

Is it the passenger side in a RHD car? or is it on the always on the right hand side?

The reason is that the charging speed greatly reduces as the state of charge increases. So it may take 5 minutes to add 100km when charge is low, but if you are at 80% it may take 60 minutes to add that last 100km. You can charge for longer, it is just less efficient. (and not polite if you...

This is actually smart design - it means there is an extra EV on the used car market. Going forwards there will be a bigger incentive to sell your car at the end of the lease and novate another new one. Those that can novate/package a new car will, and those that can't should get a lot of...

That's an 'interesting' sign: 'Electric vehicle parking only while charging'. Would be fairly easy to argue if no-one is charging, then the parking is OK for any ICE...

Yes. V3 charging nicely.

Aaaand it's live
