They will have to unlock this soon due to Right to Repair laws taking effect in australia.

Got the Tesla bug again (sold the M3P last year)... Placed an order for the MYP 3 weeks ago. I've also been changed in the portal to Jan-Mar -- it was Apr-Jun before. Maybe this means our orders are getting clumped together.

Yeah the blue line is on the whole time which means FSD active.

Pretty interesting to watch.

It's not a service NSW requirement they are full of it. If you email ServiceNSW ask for confirmation of this and send it to Tesla. This is pretty frustrating for you I can imagine. Tell them you are sending it to the Northern Territory. This is bordering on ridiculous...

Tell them you want to register it in ACT.

We bought a 3 in Sept 2019 and a X middle of last year. If you say you want it unregistered (to register in ACT for example) they will just sell it to you unregistered.

I bought mine unregistered in NSW. I told them I would pay for the rego etc myself. Easy done.

You can always ask them not to do it. It is your car after all.

Just a bump.

Still have them. Haven't had the chance to post anywhere else yet lol.

Got an email from tesla today saying immediate delivery available on a range of M3.

Not even sure how they be a customer as they can't even order them here yet. In any case, being the first adopter for the Model 3 here I certainly hope they have fixed their issues. Was a bit of a hassle. But I imagine now that they are doing high volume deliveries it will be much better.

Tesla can ask for an embargo date on RVCS so in theory it could already be in the system and complied and we would see it on the release date.

Yes you can, but the tyres themselves are summer performance tyres. Would suggest you get winter tyres. Or you could buy 2 more wheels from T-sport line and have a set for winter, and a set for summer :)

I no longer have my Model 3 and I'm going plaid!

Hi All, Up for sale are six T-Sportline 18" wheels, 4 of them with PS4 Michelin tyres, you also get the lug nut caps and Tesla logo caps. I will measure the tread remaining but it appears very good as the wheels weren't very old.. They also have Original Tesla TPMS sensors, (which are about...

I'm not arguing with you but you purport that somehow Tesla (with a market cap prediction approaching a trillion dollars) should be owed any sympathy, as if they are a struggling charity rolling out fast chargers. What exactly did Tesla say? Their "reputation managers" and BDMs seem to come out...

My other complaint is you can truly see the stupidity of other drivers at work, my car automatically brakes while on autopilot right before the speed cameras on eastlink in Melbourne from 102 to 90. This has happened to me in both our teslas while on autopilot, indicating it is centrally...

I definitely have it on do not prompt for lane changes, but it still wants me to jiggle the wheel to confirm lane changes. The only time it doesn't prompt is when you are exiting, at that point it just takes over.

What's frustrating for me having driven a US model 3 is navigate on autopilot in Australia requires a bump on the steering wheel to change lanes even though automatic lane change is enabled. Is this purely an Australian nanny state requirement? The US model 3 software seems to automatically...

No it doesn't. It's working fine. Wifi has always been able to be activated in driving mode. You just need to click on the LTE button up top and turn it on.

My favourite new feature of the update is that solitaire can be used while driving, and so can netflix if you connect to wifi.

Registration of imported vehicles is beyond my scope but if it is not RHD it will be much more difficult.

Thief’s big mistake left behind in Tesla I don't understand how this car was even stolen to begin with. She must have either had a phone in the car or the key in her purse which was also in the car. Lots of missing information. I figure they don't want to publicise much as most insurance wont...

Just threaten the Australian consumer Law. Tesla falls pretty fast if you threaten the ACCC. No reasonable consumer would expect their less than 1 year old car to smell when the AC is turned on. The fact they issued a software update to help with this is proof positive it's not a "normal occurance".

pretty much. It’s easy

I definitely don't agree with that either. Carbon tax is a stupid way of achieving things.

There is no requirements for ongoing roadworthies in VIC. The other option is just to register in ACT again, same as when you register there to avoid stamp duty. It's more of a principal than the actual money. I have zero moral qualms not paying an immoral tax.

Not if you sell it interstate or to a wholesaler. To be honest I wonder what happens if you just don't put in your odometer readings.

This looks totally unenforceable. I either A) wont respond or B) will just outright lie. We have 2 vehicles registered. Totally plausible that we don't drive one.

I I won't be paying this fee if introduced in Vic. Happy to register the vehicle in another state, or flat out not keep a logbook. I find it counter to the implementation of a sustainable environmental policy.

I spoke to Tesla today and they confirmed they are coming from the US and the next shipment as well from the US. I wouldn't expect much from Shanghai as the only model 3's that are approved in Australia at the moment are US factory based.

I'm going to trade in my 2019 M3P+ for one of the new ones. Looks nice and I've already gone 24,000km in the current one. The new upgrades will be much appreciated.

same for me, but it’s now doing it for every green light while at speed. No confirmation anymore. At some intersections it just says “slowing for traffic control” step on accelerate / gear to go full speed

I still have no update! :eek:

You can enable wifi while driving, just need to click on the little icon and hit wifi on.

There won't be any EV subsidies any time soon. Women and children to the lifeboats first!

Just call tech support or service when they are open and they can remotely push it. You can also brute force a chat with them with this link (as the chat box does not open all the time on their site). The link only works during business hours. Salesforce - Unlimited Edition

My favourite is when I saw someone turning down the charge amperage at a destination charger to make it "look" like they were still charging, but by slowing the rate effectively monopolising the charger for longer.

Just an FYI the Tesla “T0” pilot sport tires just have a strip of foam in them. Have a read around to see how much of a difference it makes, as I understand it’s not much. Costco can also order them significantly cheaper than bob jane

It's easy to do any you just provide a garaging address, no actual proof required. Especially useful if you do a lot of work in ACT like I do and just rent an apartment for half the year. You'll want to move the rego at some point when you are back in NSW because the registration fees in ACT...

Updating currently to 2020.4.1

They have previously parked their speed cameras on our property and I had them move under threat of towing the vehicle. They were not happy.

The other alternative to all this is just to use an openevse OpenEVSE | Home Open source, integrates with solar and works well mobile or stationary.

Hahaha I love this for some reason.

I've come to realise the whole "checking for updates" thing is basically a lie. If you do a hard reset, then go into that same menu.. while the car has no connectivity (wifi or LTE), it will still quickly tell you "your car is up to date". I suspect it's essentially the equivalent of a crosswalk...

The laws that apply to phones don't apply to the infotainment systems. If a carmaker certifies a vehicle as ADR compliant, there is really nothing the states can do. In "Australian Road Rules" which the states have adopted more or less universally, there is a special exemption carved out. For...

I don't think it's pulled at all. Mine installed today and another one just completed an hour ago in Victoria as per TeslaFi.

Installing now.....
