The Model Y LR isn’t on the Vic roads probationary driver site yet Home : VicRoads Anyone know if the MY LR will sneak into the not banned list ? with older teens it’ll be an occasional convenience for them to be able to drive it when they’ve passsed their tests.

Its gone !

Ive swapped out my Gen 2 Wall Connector that came with my Model 3 in Nov 2019 for a Gen 3 version that can charge non-Tesla's. If anyone is interested in a used Gen 2 that is locked to charge only Tesla's - please message me. It worked perfectly - the sparky removing it was a bit too heavy...

Really happy to confirm courtesy of @Electric Mouse that the a Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector CAN charge a Kia Niro EV !! Have placed my order for a Gen 3 Wall connector 😀

An issue Kia niro PHEV & Gen 3 Wall connector Kia Niro Ev and Tesla SC Anyone here had/fixed the same issue ?

I've had the Gen 2 wall charger working for the last couple of years happily charging my model 3. Now I've finally got rid of the 2nd car (ICE) and replaced it with a Kia Niro EV. I know that the Gen 2 wall connector shipped free with the car is locked to Tesla only (yes its that type code) -...

Popped in there this morning - great location near to east link and facilities with Gloria Jeans and Caltex shop on site. This is a step in the right direction for Eastern/South Eastern Melbourne - rapid chargers starting to appear on/near major thoroughfares....

I had a change of mind on an unused Abstract Ocean Model 3 Centre Console Wrap (Matrix Black). If anyone wants to give their console a wrap treatment at a cheaper price - feel free to bid in, it’d be good to see it go to a good home and get used. $15 starting price and no interest so its a...

Drove past at the weekend - if its by red rooster its not looking like a supercharger spot - there are cable conduits coming up through the ground midway through the parking spaces. Maybe just that im not an electrician and this conduit would be normal - but id expect it to be nearer to the...

I was the same - i hit the on line upgrade to get the lane changing on AutoPilot (seemed a bit limited otherwise) but also "or what comes next" ... I haven't tried the auto park yet but i dont think it will be regular use feature ...

Ive had the Model 3 for a few weeks now and just sold my 1st Gen leaf. I have a Type 1 to Type 2 adapter for the 3 so i can charge off the 7 year old Origin / Chargepoint supplied Coulomb CT500 Type 1 wall charger. Ive been thinking of the benefit of swapping to the Tesla Wall connector (other...

Picked up my Model 3 P- car last Friday from Richmond and took it to Philip island for the weekend. Paint condition echo's others experience - a couple of digs out of the paint that required paint shop correction, other imperfections that feel like dust under the paint, an area where it looks...

If only some of the big petrol chains were that forward thinking .... I can see issues with some of the forecourt designs taking spots for longer charging periods, but there are some locations ripe for it ....maybe a charge fox & BP joint venture / collaboration first ...

This had changed since last time i looked - explicitly calling out traffic lights & stop signs, City driving, smart summon.....coming later this year. At least they are willing to put a timeframe on the website (although theres nothing legally holding them to it - it can be delayed for whatever...
