Unfortunately, I feel I should ask for my $10100 back.

I gave up.

ChargeHQ

I couldn't get it to work. I have Powerwall and 2 x Tesla.

I formatted mine on linux as 'ext4' - seems to have fixed my format problem.

Just drive to the nearest tyre repair place.

What ever happened to the destination chargers from Toombul? They were the only 22kw units available on the north side.

I hope you now enjoy another six years of Tesla.

In that case, don't read it. If you don't know why it's there, it's quite rude to comment.

I quite like it; wife doesn't like it for tight turns. Leaves the dash area un-obscured.

Low flying across the New Mexico desert in the Plaid.

Not flying QANTAS; don't like the little leprechaun. Flying AirNZ via AUK.

It looks after full movement itself.

Well; we are now booked - fly into LAX then hire a Plaid to drive to Austin. Good fun.

Anyone going to TeslaCon in Austin 5 to 9 April?

How many Australian Tesla owners are posting via one of these?

Sorry; not interested in political argument. I will respond no further.

It's a good Tesla ad.

One thing both Vostok and meloccom have ignored here is the Nanny state's preoccupation with speed/performance and total ignorance of training/vehicle safety. In this example a Tesla (any model) is a far safer option that a Ford/GM (any model). I would much rather my soon to be licensed 16...

Does anywhere else on this planet have this extreme level of nanny?

I certainly needed the type 2 cable a few years ago when the DC unit at Bowen was broken.

I have found the main saving to be the lack of service costs with the Tesla. Things like Oil, Brake pads and all the other dribbles ICE service mobs seem to add in. With Brake pads, Tesla driver in SEQ just replaced his at (over) 420,000 km. and even those lollies you buy at the service station...

Waiting for the model S Plaid to join our S85 and M3.

With the S, point the charger plug at the rear window as that's where the sensor is.

I drive a Model S 85 with a maximum realworld range of 400km. Done Brisbane Sydney return at least a dozen times. Also done Brisbane Melbourne and Brisbane Townsville return. Once we leave the coast not so far; Brisbane Chinchilla and Brisbane Stanthorpe many times. Basically - plan and all...

Cybertruck

Some model S had a 20 AMP charger from memory.

I've never needed roadside assist or tyre exchange. Had the S for nearly 7 years and 137k km; had the 3 for over a year and 23k km. Had plenty of slow leaks (6 in one tyre once) but haven't had a flat tyre in over 20 years.

Tesla got bit with the X; certification took so long they had heaps of Xs in storage waiting so they could sell them. Just an abundance of caution. It's a race to see whether we see the Y or the Plaid first...

I always get a quicker response from my 3G S that my LTE 3; may be the comms or perhaps that's just the way it is.

The really difficult speed signs are those in rural Queensland that say "END 80". The Tesla doesn't seem to know "END".

It's that time of year for my 3 too (S is other end of the year). Went up $100 to $950 with APIA - on investigation APIA, Suncorp, AAMI and others are all the same company and have, surprisingly, very similar prices and everyone else is more expensive. Can anyone suggest a cheaper company?

Free charging will remain - think WiFi.

One wonders why the Model 3 is a danger to First Responders but not the (2015) S.

Warwick is neither QESH nor Chargfox.

Poncho Insurance were too dear - I'm paying approx $900 pa for a LRAWD 3 with APIA but then I'm a foggey.

I understand that is the case.

As a matter of interest; there are two MY quoted currently - 2020 and 2021. The 2021 model has an additional 100 odd km range.

Depends on the age of your S; if it's an older car (circa 2016) try to get a second hand CHAdeMO.

Driving in the tunnels in Brisbane the speed limit displayed is totally random. Rarely does it get the actual speed limit.

Remove anything plugged into your USB slots and reboot MCU.

Tesla have always been good with the prices; Apple have always been robbers.

Apparently not.

I have asked "When should we expect to see the Y, Plaid S and Cybertruck in Australia?" for the Tesla Q3 earnings Q&A. If you have TSLA, please upvote the question at Say

and Brisbane has only got one car in the showroom also - bit short on cars by the look of it.

Note that there are about half a dozen 2014 Model S in Oz that do NOT have any autopilot hardware; hence no TACC.

Plaid/Palladium/Roadrunner will probably be announced 22 September (won't be cheap tho).

and the timing is just getting better. Just what I need for the cross Australia run. It will happen :D
