Thanks for all the responses folks I’ve left the survey open to April so we can get a full season of votes (and you can change your vote). who voted terrible??? What’s up my primary observation is when parked in driveway which is roughly east west. Windscreen to the west, it really heats up...

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

I’ve actually found lots of people are interested. Very difficult to get away quickly at a rapid charger as people come over for a chat about the car. I’ve had people approach me in shopping center car parks and ask lots of questions. Kids are definitely the most aware. I was driving down a...

TESLA OWNERS ARE AWESOME!!! My Tesla Model 3 has been nominated as 'Groomsmans' car for a friend's wedding this coming Saturday. I wanted to do it without the Aero's. (I like them, but they're not everybody's cup of tea...) Problem was, Tesla didn't have stock of the wheel cap kits that...

Autopilot doesn't use GPS for lane positioning or driving etc etc. Elon has been very clear in the past that using GPS to keep the car on the road and in it's lane etc etc basic driving is an insane idea and should never be done. It's purely using it's own sensors - Sight, Radar and...

I was intrigued by how well my model 3 maps worked in the Mullum Mullum tunnel in Melbourne the other day, showed my progress through the tunnel quite accurately. Then I remembered there is a GPS beacon device to assist GPS in tunnels - which perhaps is installed in that particular tunnel. OR...

Congrats Tasmania!!!! now you only need 20-30thousand more of them and your conservative government might sit up and take notice... but the great thing is it's almost entirely renewable energy powered.... so even a few of them to start is brilliant!!! Hope to see more chargers installed...

Slightly off topic - but hopefully amusing.... My mums old Ford Focus (2006) auto transmission has been playing up this year, and Ford on three visits has sworn black and blue there's nothing wrong (and billed her $300 each time to tell her there's nothing wrong!!). Finally took it to Auto...

OK - Somebody has to say it. I HAD A PRETTY GREAT DELIVERY EXPERIENCE, NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR OTHER THAN ONE MINOR SCUFF THAT'S BARELY VISIBLE. I'M COMPLETELY HAPPY. (car was charged to 81% or so, I was not rushed, I was there 45 mins because I took it outside parked to check it over...

So for the record, When I spoke to Tesla about this a couple of months back (I was waiting also - expecting it to be a factory fit option only like for Europe versions) I was told that: a) The European one is factory fit option only due somehow to regulations in Europe. b) that the Tesla hitch...

It's a rather odd feeling after all these years.... Tesla OWES ME $4500! lol. (my car on novated lease, so my reservation fee plus order deposit have to be refunded as novated lease MUST be the the full value of car...)

I had pilot sport 4's on my previous Subaru STI that I swapped for the Tesla Model 3 SR+. All I can say is, yes you notice the tyre noise more, but ONLY because there's absolutely no other noise.

I'm same situation - took delivery 26th Sep. She did warn me they're way behind on that paperwork just so many cars, plus because the original transaction was 2+ years ago it takes in my case VISA a long time to process it. So she warned me it may be 3-4 weeks. (remember it's illegal to send...

Start at top of hill - proceed downwards.... nah seriously I can get that too - in not much heat, and relatively flat highway speed about 100km/h it'll get that.

OMG are you my high school English teacher???
