    Car Insurance Options

    Alliance or Allianz? Geniune question because I will make some inquiries. My enquiry quote with Allianz was $3,745 per year, 2017 P100D, always garaged, limited kms, no claims etc so you have done very well if that is the same company.

    Car Insurance Options

    I've shopped around many times for mine because each year it becomes more painful when the renewal arrives, sadly I've either run into not going to cover it to more expensive than who I'm with. Someone mentioned Rollin insurance, here's an example of the pain I am faced with, this was their...

    Insurance is getting out of hand

    This has been an interesting read. My 2017 P100D Model S renewal came in and was $600 more than last year (over $3K). Turns out my agreed value was way above reality, but to be fair I don't check market value until it is time to sell the car. Anyway reducing that agreed value down to something...

    Wall charger cable length change

    Unfortunately that won't work. We have two cars that share the charger, the Tesla charge port on the left side and the charger is mounted pretty much inline with that, the other car has it on the right side. Moving it won't solve the problem, being able to reach the other car with the longer...

    Best option for public charging stations

    Hi All, Removed question, I found the answer elsewhere. Admin please delete.

    Electric Vehicle supplement in the Nine newspapers - and Drive EV special on at noon (27 May)

    I was disappointed in this move but we RHD markets are the minority so I get it. I was going to replace my P100D with a Plaid ever since they announced the 'real' steering wheel option was a thing, but that's been crushed. I'm just hoping there will be something close the Model-S by whoever else...

    Wall charger cable length change

    Hi All, my current wall charger is about 6 years old, there's nothing wrong with it except it came with the short length charging cable which is a problem as I now want to share this charger with another car in the garage. I see that Tesla now just supply them with a 7.3m cable, I don't suppose...

    Low Voltage battery replacement

    Just to close this one out, Tesla came out and replaced the battery with an AGM type, P/N 1480221-00-A = $232. It also involved 'Vehicle configuration update' for the different battery type. Great service, can't complain.

    Phantom braking return?

    The GLC is great, we were hoping to be able to order the updated current 2023 model which has double electric range but Benz have decided no more Hybrids are coming to Australia so we got one of the final allotment of 2022 Hybrids being sold in Australia. My Model S has had EAP from day one so...

    Phantom braking return?

    We have a new GLC300e in our household and the cruise and auto steer on that is sensational, in this regard the competition has not only caught up they've sailed past. I don't trust my Model-S now to the point where I don't even engage the cruise control, too many hard phantom braking events...

    Tesla Model S Headlight repair DIY. Where to get parts in Australia?

    So this is why our low beam is so poor, how annoying. What a shame you can't just fit the DS3 globes. And a big 'what the?' with the ordeal to change a damn headlight, what was Tesla thinking.

    Low Voltage battery replacement

    Yeah all things considered to have the battery replaced in my driveway just over $300 is surprising. As for BMW, I have owned one before. I never needed the battery changed but the pain of the brake costs (multiple times) was enough to convince me to never consider another one.

    Low Voltage battery replacement

    Thank you, I'd be more than happy to have it done for $300. I've started the service process with them via the app but I couldn't book in a mobile service call, I've scheduled it with a (not so) local service center in the hope I can actually message someone to say I'd like the driveway service...

    Low Voltage battery replacement

    Hi Everyone, My 2017 Model-S put up the 'Low Voltage Battery warning' tonight so it looks like I'm going to need that replaced. I don't want to have it done at Tesla because this will be out of warranty and I imagine will cost a bomb (and I'll have to wait a while to get in and time is not on...

    Wheel alignment (Melbourne)

    Thanks but the car changes lanes by itself, I need that fixed before worrying about the rear camber :(
