There have been a number of types used. On my 2014 Model S the lug nuts have a chrome sleeve over them and this is often distorted by power tools that tyre shops use to remove a replace them. Later models I understand have a removable cap that comes off before you use a tool to remove them, thus...

Also Jason’s full review of CyberTruck

I have zero interest in a vehicle like the Cybertruck, but after watching this YT video of Jason Cammisa’s 3 day test, I’m beginning to see what an engineering achievement it is. The video is worth 1 hour 22 minutes of your time but the language is NSFW.

I can only assume that if you click through on Learn, then the Get Updates and sign up for information you will be telling Tesla that there’s interest in Cybertruck in Australia and they may be more likely to make one in RHD.

There are a number of threads on this forum discussing apartment charging. Do a search in “This Forum “ and you’ll find a number, including this one. installing EV charger apartment complex Basically you are at the mercy of your owners corporation, particularly if you rent. If you own, now is...

Except that in Australia, we are approaching Summer, so snow chains are a low priority right now.

Sounds like your landlord is spending too much time listening to 2GB and Fox News. All you can do is point out that EV sales have reached 8.5% of the new car market in Australia and he or she will be running into this problem increasingly in the future and they need to think about how they will...

What you are describing is Car Relay Attack where thieves attempt to remotely clone your security device, fob or phone in this case, to unlock your car and steal it. All Teslas have an option to turn on PIN to Drive, where you have to enter a 4 digit PIN into the touch screen before the car will...

If you find some let me know. ;) Most of them seem to be anodized in different colours for the boy racer crowd.

A mini Cooper electric has the charge port on the right rear so would have to take up the parking space on the wrong side of a Supercharger taking 2 out of service but it looks like it could be done.

My Model S does not have ventilated seats, but I've seen a few cars with this feature and can't say I've seen this as a problem that couldn't be solved by a good vacuum followed by a wipe with a damp cloth.

Having owned a Tesla for going on 9 years I have seen the complete gamut of Tesla service levels. In the early days it was terrific, but that's likely because there were so few cars on the road and not much going wrong. As time went by it became harder to get an appointment, but when they...

If you like white, order it and don't worry about staining. I have a Model S with creme leather and new jeans do leave a slight mark, but it cleans off with a wet cloth or just any good upholstery shampoo if you leave it for a long time. Since I applied leather conditioner it is more resistant...

My car song is Golden Brown by The Stranglers. Yes I’m a bit strange, but “Never a frown with Golden Brown”.

My Ego mower is approaching 10 years old and is still going strong. The battery died under warranty but was replaced by a slightly higher capacity one by the manufacturer. I have some areas of the garden that are constantly wet and it gets through them okay if I’m careful, but you can bog it if...

This is the label on my 3 phase V2 Wall Connector. It can charge my twin charger Model S at 22Kw. IIRC the earliest batch of Model S were supplied with Hong Kong charge connectors, then they were replaced some time later With V2 units like mine, however for anyone who wanted a second wall...

Yes, they are required by law in NSW. Most likely RMS will give you a set when you swap to your premium plates but you can also buy them from places like Supercheap Auto.

I have a Model S. When an incoming call arrives, two boxes with a green and red phone icon appear. I tap the green one to answer and it comes through the car speakers. Im sure there’s a way to answer on the steering wheel but I once pressed wrong and hung up on someone, so I use the screen as it...

What model of iPhone and what iOS is it running. Have you tried removing and re-Pairing your iPhone? Have you tried a change wheel type reboot of your Model Y?

For what it’s worth I had a new 12V battery replaced in September 2022, just over a year ago. Cost was $242.00 which included fitting, which is not easy on the early Model S. The service was done by the mobile service, originally for an issue with my wipers. As my car was turning 8 years old at...

It sounds like you have activated Raibow Road. This is an Easter egg in the Autopilot software that activates if you press to activate AP a number of times in quick succession. I think the number is 5 times but I’m uncertain. The only way I have been able to turn it off is to reboot the centre...

If the 2 finger reset doesn’t work, you can try the Wheel Configuration reset. In the Service menu click on Wheel Configuration, select a different type of wheel and click confirm. The car will reboot and the instrument and centre screen will reset a few times, takes about 4 to 5 minutes on my...

If memory serves me correctly, Sydney Opera House originally estimated to cost $8 million and eventually cost $100 million. But now seems like a bargain.

Earlier on in the development of Autopilot, it had difficulty in detecting stopped traffic and there were a few incidents, including a couple of crashes. More recently it’s become a lot better, but it’s an indication that detecting a stationary object is surprisingly difficult without also...

Please avoid using black font as it’s difficult to read for anyone using the dark TMC format.

The extra energy that you use on the way up you gain back on the way back down to Sydney. In addition there are now really good charging and facilities at the Pheasants Nest roadhouse. I don’t think you will have an issue if your return distance is 200Km and Pheasants Nest is available if you...

My favourite experience around that time was shopping at Harris Farm at Bowral, in early 2015 when my car was weeks old. A mature gentleman approached me and demanded to know what sort of car I owned. Almost accusingly he asked, “I’m a car enthusiast and don’t know what sort of car that is!”...

I used To try and stick all Superchargers that look like they were soon to open and remove them when discussion tapered off. But with this one, discussion never tapered off. I’ve unstuck the thread. Given the volume of Superchargers in progress I can’t list them all, but neither is there a ban...

NRMA stands for National Roads and Motorists Association. Not NSW Roads and Motorists Association. A long time in the past the various Motoring Associations signed an agreement to not offer their services interstate. One of the motivations of the demutualisation was to separate the Insurance...

Hopefully they will extend the time before charging idle fees. Have you ever tried to get out of an IKEA store quickly? 😉

What was the cost of EV Charging only membership?

I also put the NRMA app on my iPad where I haven’t signed in and it gives a third option to “Join to Charge” Could a non NRMA member go through that process and describe how it works for the benefit of others please?

In the iOS app: To set up charging for an existing NRMA member. Tap the services icon at the bottom Scroll down to “Charge Now” It will want to confirm your mobile by SMS. Enter SMS code and tap confirm Agree to terms and conditions “I agree” It then sends you a text that’s not very clear...

Theoretically the only differences between CCS1 and CCS2 are the plug design, but your case shows that there’s more to it. The export and sale of JDM vehicles is common throughout Asia. I’ve just come back from holidays in Sri Lanka and every car I got into had Japanese characters on the...

Just realised that you’re in Malaysia. So assuming you have a JDM Model 3 then I’m not sure if the CCS1 upgrade is available in Japan yet, as CCS is not a popular charging standard in Japan. Possibly Japan based members can advise. I do know that the CCS1 adapter is available in Korea and that...

Based on the below thread, this part seems to have something to do with the charging system on your Model 3. CHADEMO is the most popular standard in Japan and all JDM Model 3 should work with the Tesla CHADEMO adapter. Perhaps you have found a CCS1 charger you wish to use? In this case you will...

Looks like the first Grid Scale battery is going in soon. https://www.energy-storage.news/new-zealands-first-100mw-grid-scale-battery-storage-project-gets-approval/

Definitely not allowed in the council area of The City of Sydney. We had/have a number of backpackers trying to avoid the cost of accommodation, sleeping in their cars/vans and and offering the vehicle for sale along Victoria street. Haven’t looked in a while but there were signs prohibiting...
