Have a 2019 P. 155k+ on the odo. No weird sounds emitted going forward or in reverse (apart from tyre noise). Can't say I've noticed it once. Also haven't splattered any deaf or blind people.

Unless things have changed recently, Aldi will only give you access to 98.8% of the population (wholesale Telstra network). Telstra & Boost will get 99.6% (ie. full Telstra network coverage).

Yeah, I take it back. Not waking up now. Maybe it was already awake and I didn't notice.

Correlation doesn't equal causation.. ;) It's just a co-incidence. I've been on 2024.8.7 since 28th of March. No remote wake-ups have been working for the last 3 or 4 days. But today it works. Someone at Telstra (or Tesla) has bounced the relevant server / black box.

It may well be able to do that. 99.9x% of the time (same as humans). But that won't be Tesla's decision.

You might've missed English classes so I'll let ChatGPT help you.. :P A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Instead of using a direct comparison, like a simile does with "like" or "as," a metaphor...

After watching a whole lot of v12 FSD videos, I look forward to doing the same when it's released in the next 12-24 months! All the armchair experts that commented that ... "Elon's an idiot. We need LIDAR. it can't work on just vision!" "It won't work with out RADAR!" "It can't park without...

Might be time to buy the adapter. Only USD $1050 delivered. ;) https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/CCS2-TO-CHAdeMO-adapter-DC-fast_1600998694103.html?spm=a2700.7724857.0.0.1b773831RSobvM

Has done it to my tyres since 2019 (M3P-). Current/last set finally did the recommendations of doing rotations but only did 3 lots of 10k rotations before slacking off. Finally had to replace the fronts (down to the wire on the inside) at around 68k (should have done earlier if noticed). Might...

+1 I've been driving for 30+ years and previous to the Tesla I've never even had a car with a shifter as a stalk! I do vaguely remember my parents old Kingswood that had one .. clunk .. clunk .. but apart from that it's just something I'd only ever seen in one of those Lampoon's vacation...

And probably much less now that NRMA are winding back their free charging!

1/11/23 - Installed total cost of Powerwall 2 + gateway was $13.5k (Newcastle). $750 rebate from Tesla + $800 bill credit from Simply Energy on their VPP.

It might change for any 800V cars utilising them. I can't see Tesla installing / upgrading any though, at least not until the Cybertruck or other Tesla 800V cars come upon the scene.

I was there a few weeks back. Pretty sure all current V4 pedestals are backed by V3 cabinets .. so exactly the same. I was getting the usual 250kW early on (low SOC), which quickly dropped off after a few minutes.

Helpful information. But in general, it will never go higher than what it was initially set.

It won't go faster than the initial speed you set TACC to. eg. 1. Turn TACC on at 60. Go to 40 zone, it will reduce to 40. Go back to 60 zone, it will go to 60. Go into 80 zone, it will stay at 60. 2. Turn TACC on at 80. Go to 60 zone, it will reduce to 60. Go back to 80 zone, it will go to 80...

4-3 or 7-0, it doesn't make any difference. They've interpreted the constitution and made a clarifying ruling which is the law of the land. If another state implements an identical tax, a lower court dismisses it citing the above ruling, and the state appealed and it somehow comes up through the...

Um, I don't think that's how the constitution works.

If it's significantly cheaper (ie. a couple of thousand) you could insure it as your mum with NRMA or another insurer that any person can drive. You will cop significant excess during an at fault accident. ie. normal excess, age excess, un-nominated driver excess .. but if you put the extra...

DID YOU SAY YEEESSSSS!?

Long-press one of the shortcut icons and drag them around.

I think you're getting confused. Elon wrote a white paper on the Hyperloop and ran a few college competitions but never got involved building or investing in anything to do with it. I believe Hyperloop One was originally Richard Branson. Nothing to do with Elon.

I put the evidence above in my response. I didn't wavy davy. Hard facts. Your response was nonsensical and a cop-out. Expected better from you. I'm one of those rare 1/1000 people who will be the first person to admit when I'm wrong. I'll even apologise if I've been a twat about it. Not argue...

How about you show us their research proving that going slightly over the speed limit is the cause of the majority of crashes? Not just wavy davy arms by governments with an agenda or public bureaucrats or the public memes they come up with for TV or advertising. I can show you a study from...

Agree, which is why I originally said:

My point was CCS2 Max's out at 500A (200 kW for 400V architecture). The Superchargers don't, which is why you can see 250kW.

Let's try V * A which is 300-400V (depending on SOC) * 500A. Equates to ~190kW (maybe a fraction over 200kW in an S). CCS2 is limited to a measly 500A .. (They both slow down pretty quickly, so is much of a muchness) ;)

I'm being stalked every 30 seconds .. oh wait .. TeslaFi! Have managed to tune it out already.

Maybe try installing the apk directly? https://www.apkmonk.com/app/au.com.ampol.ampcharge/

Unfortunately the volume knob trick doesn't work in Australian Tesla's :(

Pretty sure KemPower's can display a QR code for your current charging session. Start charging, scan the code, see your car's current charging status updated in real time! No network app needed.

I disagree. Local councils is where it is at. https://alga.com.au/facts-and-figures/#:~:text=Local%20roads%20make%20up%20around,are%20managed%20by%20local%20governments.

Yes they do. Just book the service and mention mobile service wanted.

Not unless you do this: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7181297/

Until sales of EV's are higher than ICE cars (50%+) or prices are at least even/comparable .. incentives make sense.

I'd give it to Wallsend Car Park going by check-ins. My estimation, as a local, only 60-70% actually check-in .. particularly as there is 2 chargers and some may not feel obligated if the other charger happens to be empty.

You sure you're not talking about the Tesla Wall Connector (v2)? The UMC is the portable charger.

Not all users. All tax streams whether it be GST, income tax, company tax, mining resources tax etc or all combined. As mentioned previously, everyone benefits from roads. Are you happy to go live in the middle of a forest in Tasmania or the Simpson desert, unroaded? ie. with no means to travel...

I had a BYD Atto 3 for a couple of days and it wouldn't charge with my UMC. I didn't try too much with the troubleshooting though, so may have been user / new car error.

Or just not have one and tax everybody.

I'm all for getting rid of the fuel excise. Just add something like a carbon tax. Impacts both ICE's and EV's whether running off oil or coal. Bonus should be a drive for cleaner fuels for both ICE and EV's. Great for the environment! Oh, I think 20c is way to cheap. 36c here (no offpeak...

Incorrect. Power isn't free. Power is taxed.

How many 16A 3P power sources are there? I thought most were 32A 3P.

Because their society which they are a part of wouldn't exist without roads. The food gets to their supermarkets, or market stalls, or from their local farmer, via them. The mail to their front door goes down a road. Every time they need to go to the doctor, the shops, their kids go to school...

Chances are that road out the front of your house is paid for by your local council, not the state. I propose the RUC gets charged by local councils. They can chip in to the state for the 15% of roads actually funded by the state...

Are Tesla drivers really that terrible drivers? There can't be THAT many accidents in the grand scheme with the Tesla driver at fault. I know for a fact the Tesla has saved me a couple of times with AEB or BEEP BEEP BEEPing. This didn't happen in my previous Subaru (may it RIP). Or is this some...

Works pretty well for the "Wallsend Car Park" site (2 RTM75's running at 50kW each) .. which is 99% of my care value. ;) I'd guesstimate 80% of people check-in, including when they're waiting, which is helpful as it's always busy. Someone has put a helpful Plugshare sticker on them too (to...

Since we're talking about neutral and stuff... can any engineers explain what happens to the power generated by the rear permanent magnet motor when rolling in neutral? I've noticed my Tesla Model 3 rolls 'really well'. Is the power generated just dumped somewhere (heat)? Or actually put into...

The old workaround of using an Ampfibian (or jerry-rigged 15A extension lead) and use the 15A (12A) tail dialled down to 10A should still apply.

Many a hybrid has no engine noise at low speeds. Wheels make a crunching sounds on the tarmac at low speeds. Pedestrians just need to tune in to different noises. There aren't deaf people splattered all over the roads as far as I'm aware. I also don't deliberately run pedestrians down that...
