    New owner, styling thoughts?

    The orbitals are no longer great value but they do look good (at least to me). They are at rimetrix now. The one’s in my profile pic are sprayed with satin black plastidip which is dead easy and makes for simple gutter rash repairs. They really do just look like a 19” wheel to the untrained eye.

    Supercharger - Blaxland, NSW

    OK, maybe we organise the saddest picnic ever at the Telstra RIM box for the week starting the 13th? I’m in the Blue mountains lga (barely, I’m in the special box they put at the top of Mt York) and it is only 55km away, within my lga, and regen harvesting for the entire 1000 metres down

    I miss Android Auto - phone mounting solutions that you rate?

    Me too. I find it the best solution for face ID when I drive long distances. They are on Amazon AU for around $60 either a standard or charging holder. Being made of a relatively pliant material they are silent and whilst they only come with one cradle they do come with both the left and right...

    Question about buying a charger

    I did the mud flaps. Cheap and easy and they work. The ones I have required one small hole to be made in the front plastic wheel arch protector. Don’t be the person who thinks the wheel has to come off to drill it. Left then Right full steering lock works fine!

    They contacted me 2 weeks ago and we did a 45min MS Teams interview on the EV experience and that was one of the topics. I did not get the survey though!

    Aftermarket 20” wheels

    Hi, I'd suggest going to the Tesla M3 facebook page and their buy/swap/sell. The original 20's come up for sale quite often as they are a cast wheel which does not suit some people. Other than that the Tsportline flow forged option seems to be very popular as an overseas order. It all depends on...

    Orbital

    If anybody is curious then I have installed these now. I plastidipped them in matt black to make for (theoretically) very easy gutter rash repairs. They lock in very well and protect the edge of the rims.

    watch your power meter after fitting a PW@

    It sometimes turns out to be the dodgy new neighbours sneaking over to your fuse box with a 100 amp cable 'just to help power the lights' for their warehouse rave. :)

    watch your power meter after fitting a PW@

    I can't speak for your setup but I have 3 phase and how the system works in practice is exactly how you describe. If I was consuming 6kw evenly across the phases then 2 of them would be drawing a total of 4kw from the grid. The battery would then be powering the other phase with 6kw. 2kw for...

    Will stronger AUD lead to price drop

    Well, at least the LCT threshold for fuel efficient cars has been increased in Aus today. No help to the people that wanted an SR+ in white though. July 1st in the west coast USA is only 5 hours away so we will know more on AUD pricing tonight or tomorrow... or Friday. Or sometime soon.

    They are very good on mine. Always within 0.5psi according to both digital gauges I have. ...Probably not good enough for the person thats insists on now filling their tyres with pure de-humidified nitrogen and then telling everybody that this is the only way to get stable handling* *they...

    Will stronger AUD lead to price drop

    Hi Greg, I don't think that anybody outside Tesla senior management would know what they are planning for AU pricing. I think it would be reasonable to assume that prices will not go up (with one caveat*) and the next revision will probably be July 1 or 2. So probably hold tight. There was a...

    Tesla do have a kit but I don’t know about availability or cost here.

    Make sure you increase your insured value as FSD increases

    It’s all due to different forums in different countries. It only becomes truely confusing when someone in the US is viewing a forum based in Australia (or vis a versa).

    Two phase x 40amp per phase, offer to my property. What should I do?

    Yes, you would max out at 8k AC with an 8k inverter Yes, a 9kw array may well produce 5kw on a cloudy day or morning or afternoon and you would not get penalised for producing 5k for longer. There are so many installation options it is best to talk to a solar professional. For instance I have...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I've used it a few times and it does work. But from memory it requires 7m between the cars before it will show that the space is there. The times I have used it it would have been just as easy to do it manually. It is a great party trick if you have a passenger in the car though.

    Hi, Yes at the time I ordered (May31) the order screen clearly stated free premium connectivity with no time constraint. When it was later changed to 12 months I questioned Tesla and was verbally informed that they would honor it. My car is also showing and expiry date 12 months from delivery.

    Pumping up our tyres

    Hi, I have a 240v compressor but I use it for many other things (air tools, sand blasting etc.). It runs from the solar battery so I don't feel guilty.

    Sentry mode

    It is certainly possible as my 256GB works fine. But this is going to be the most useless response ever as I can’t tell you how I did it (don’t remember) other than it involved getting into the cmd line in windows. Someone else here will have the answer though. I would have learned it from here.

    Evanex postage charges!

    I can also recommend their console wraps. A few of us here on this forum have the black carbon fibre look one. Even I could install it and it looks great with no more piano black fingerprints (they have excellent instruction videos). ...Also 17% off with the code 'clover' to the end of the month.
