Hi All, Just wanted to share something that I've been working on for a while now. It's a modularized fork of cdragon's excellent TWCManager, with the ability to add modules for various different systems rather than having to fork the code each time for custom implementations Some of the...

I've got a couple of $3 cables (one Micro USB, one Lightning) on the way from eBay to test in my M3. If they happen to fit (they're braided, so may not fit through the routing channels easily), I'll post them here. Would be nice to have wireless charging phones, but neither mine nor the mrs are...

Anyone know how long it usually takes Tesla to generate an invoice after the finance comapny asks for one? The email from Pepper is the first movement I've had on my order since placing it so I'm not sure if it suggests there will be imminent progress or not...

Unfortunately I now suspect my SR+ delivery will probably not come before my trade in's rego is due. Starting to feel a bit spiteful after a lot of patience and understanding - must be all the posts on facebook about non res orders being picked up while I haven't heard a peep. Might drive the...

Really? From what I've read, it's in a holder on the Tegra 3 motherboard inside the MCU. Here's a picture. Do you have a picture of where it is in your S? Maybe the local spec is different.

Best guess: because it currently differentiates the premium models from the standard models, just as I said in my reply. The margin for the service won't outshine the margin for the vehicles themselves.

Standard Connectivity (ie the no cost standard option) is still a 4G service, but is used only for critical updates. From the same FAQ: What are the new connectivity options? Standard Connectivity offers basic maps & navigation, music & media over Bluetooth® and software updates over Wi-Fi...

It will be C, and everyone will be outraged but cop it, just like the deleted homelink for premium and the fog lights for SR+. So far every variant of the car had advertised features that we will not be getting, and one variant of the car disappeared totally, yet everyone gets outraged for a few...

Take a moment to think about it - why would Tesla, who have already got all of the necessary components in the car and are already paying for a LTE service for every vehicle, not recoup costs by selling an overpriced streaming service to non premium interior vehicles? One that they have...

Yes, it's only available as an additional item from the Tesla Store, for all M3 variants.

It's on the website, in the FAQ, saying it will be offered at the end of the year. That's as much as you will get from Tesla in terms of confirmation, but it's not exactly speculative is it? Frequently Asked Questions - Connectivity How much do Standard Connectivity and Premium Connectivity...

SR+ will have paid access to streaming just as P- and P+ will have, but without 1 year free, that's it. It has the capability, everything is there (software and LTE connection) and only needs the service paid for annually when this becomes available, by the end of the year if you believe Tesla's...

It's ridiculous in itself if people are expecting in-car streaming at all and getting upset if their SR+ doesn't have it. How many other cars come with a 4G service and streaming media? I am sure people will quickly learn to do what they'd do in any other car - pair bluetooth or play mp3?

This is a conflation of completely different things: The audio hardware, which includes an additional amp and sub for the Premium interior (this is what you'd be valuing at $3K which is grossly inflated I'd say) The software, which is disabled for SR+ The 4G data service, which is free for the...

After brokerage fees and CGT you might break even too!

Reading between the lines, it's a reluctant courtesy service. Still, my 16 year old trade in has little residual value so it's a no brainer, not going to trade hours of my time letting people test drive it for $500 more

Those who ordered in the UK had the same issues with referral codes. It's because I read their posts that I realised that the referral link had to be followed to make the order, so I had no issue, but it certainly isn't intuitive.

The Amex Qantas Ultimate could until 14th of April, at which point it (and a whole lot of other Amex cards) had their transfer or earn rates cut. That said, it can still do 1.25 today and there are Amex offers all the time, plus the airlines regularly have transfer bonuses (VA Velocity is...

Double points promo doesn't mean 2ppd, each card is different, and Amex in particular has higher redemption values. Until recently a lot of Amex cards transferred to local airlines at 1.5ppd, which would have given you 3ppd, or about 3.3c/per dollar (QFF/VFF points are worth about 1.1cpp in...

Strange, I get what they are getting at but your execution would have been terrible for a money launderer :D the reason I say that is that money launderers use a technique where they try to stay under the Austrac reportable transaction limit of $10K, so they usually send out a bunch of 9K...

Caught a lucky break there! At double points you'd pretty much break even, although Amex did drop their point value significantly recently. I don't think I will pay with card as 3% is too high for me, but it's good to know beforehand so that I can consider options. May as well get something when...

Perfect, thank you!

How new do you think it is? I've seen that exact wording in Nov or Dec last year, so it's at least 6 months from my own reading hence why I thought perhaps there might be someone here who has something to offer but I am starting to doubt that anyone here wants to do anything except challenge the...

In other geographies that is true, however in Australia it has always been one of the payment options, right from the FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions What are the accepted methods of payment? Final payment may be made via bank transfer or credit card. Please note, surcharge fees apply if you...

Yes, I have, and I'm still waiting for a reply, but figured perhaps someone else had asked before hence asking here. Unless it differs between customers/orders?

Hi all, a bit of an odd question I guess (as all my searches so far have turned up nothing), I notice that for Australia the Tesla delivery process involves final payment via either Bank Deposit or Credit Card. I can't find anywhere that documents the surcharges for Credit Card payment. Does...
