    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    Hi All, Thanks to all contributing to this project. I'm about to get it up and running but have a different situation to most. I have 2 phases into my property. Phase1 has all the solar, Powerwall2 and house loads. The Powerwall2 doesn't have visibility/awareness of this second phase. I...

    Supercharger - Moonee Ponds, Vic

    I've used these superchargers for a couple of quick top ups but haven't seen any charges (dollars... not kWhs!) Are they not charging for use yet? LTE signal is garbage....

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I've had the SR+ just on a week now, 860km later and love it. A few observations: - Single motor still has plenty of go, coming from almost any ICE car you won't be disappointed - It drives solid on the road - 3 car seats do fit (just). Currently got 2 forward facing and one rear facing. Bit...

    Thanks for the suggestion, I did check and it was all the way up. Even tried open/close, same thing. It was certainly more noticeable yesterday when driving into a strong head wind @110km/h. More testing required :P

    I noticed some wind noise on the passenger side window after picking up the car yesterday. Keen to hear your outcome.

    So my 1308 days of waiting are over. Took delivery of my SR+ yesterday! Delivery from Richmond was all good, very quiet. Mine was the only car around and apparently only one other for the day. Called in at Airport West for a quick top up at the chargefox charger. I managed to fit 3 car seats...

    I spoke to the Tesla tech doing the CCS upgrade last week. Surely the kids can have a night off and not go "clubbing".

    Delivery is not shaping up well. 4 days until finance needs to settle and still no invoice. It doesn't need to be this hard, please someone just click the "create invoice" button.

    I think this is a 5% efficiency increase and not a 5% increase in "power".

    I emailed them yesterday and didn't get an auto reply. Also spoke to Chadstone who confirmed the delivery algorithm is the only one who knows the whereabouts of my car. Car has now been in Oz for 2 months either collecting dust or getting fixed.

    Well done to those Tesla team members who have been putting in the hard yards. Many of us here who are in a position to purchase their products already have plenty of hard yards on the board. Poor communication is a result of poor resourcing and planning. It's not like 2-3k cars just arrived out...

    Lunch time adventure to fuel my obsession resulted in finding 6 new superchargers being installed in Moonee Ponds Central. This is in addition to the two existing destination chargers.

    The lucky owner of a White SR+ parked in Moonee Ponds Woolworths carpark, your tyre has been chalked! I'm sure you've got a nice pic of the friendly inspector ;) If you unlock the car, I'll move it for you until I take delivery of mine :p

    With many cars arriving on Cap Capricorn on the 16th of August surely they will all require charging by now. Are these cars just sitting around going flat or are they being charged? They've now had a couple of months of just being on a boat and sitting around. Hope they aren't being left in a...

    I noticed that my order page appeared different to most others and doesn't show the VIN in the back end. If you change the URL to: /teslaaccount/product-finalize?rn=RNxxxxxxx (replace xxxxxxx with your reservation number) this shows a different page. Then check the source of that page and...

    1255 days of patiently waiting, no more "leaving the sales team alone" who aren't actually delivering cars. Spoke to old mate at Chadstone who I test drove a P100D with last year. He checked my order and confirmed a VIN was allocated. Couldn't officially confirm that my car was in the country...

    I came to the conclusion that the SR+ would provide more than enough range for 98% of it's use. My commute is 90km round trip 4 days a week. I have family that live in Wodonga and it's 300kms one way. There's a supercharger and Chargefox charger at Euroa so all good. Did you have a...

    Exciting to see cars on trucks heading for delivery now. So this 01/04/2016 reservation holder is no longer holding out for other options. Pulled the trigger last week on SR+ after seeing the M3 in the flesh at Chadstone. Finally came to terms with the fact I wouldn't be ordering a LR RWD and...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Good chance only a handful of deliveries in August and the bulk delayed. As for FSD, my thinking is park it for now and save your $. Not available for use and you're just being subject to additional LCT, SD and possibly FBT depending on purchase arrangement. I can only see it being cheaper...

    Model 3 LR RWD

    I convinced my oldman to reserve a Model 3 back in 2016 but unfortunately the lack of the LR RWD has resulted in him pulling the trigger on an ICE car and cancelling his reservation. Hard to sell an old dog new tricks, especially when the wait is so long and the practical option is not...

    Model 3 LR RWD

    April 2nd 2016 - it's been a long wait only to have the desired model off the menu. LR RWD I believe is a great fit for Australia for rural/semi-rural and city dwellers who enjoy a road trip. I'm not saying the SR+ isn't capable but we don't have the charging infrastructure like other markets...
