You only get 8A from the 10A plug or 12A from the 15A plug in the kit.

For you or the car?

Please let us know how they compare from a finish/handling/ride comfort point of view. TIA

NMC I think

I didn’t mind the regen setup in my A3-etron. The car would coast when you took your foot off the accelerator pedal. When you put your foot on the brake it would apply regen up to (I think) about 75kW and after that the friction brakes would engage to give the deceleration you wanted above...

Yeah, I drive with the assumption that pedestrians can neither see nor hear me, especially in car parks.

The Model 3 Performance page on the Tesla Australia website quotes power output at 460hp, the US quotes 510. The discussions in the main Model 3 page say the US cars are getting a US produced Panasonic 2170 (I think NCA) pack and the ROW will get a Korean LG 2170 (I think NMC) pack. The new...

After looking at the reviews I’m a bit uncertain about the vehicle height. 10mm lower than the current long range, or 10mm lower than the old M3P? Ta

Different battery with a bit higher power output

And that 4 way intersection in Melbourne with the tram lines…

Tesla can replace the charging ports for a fee so that the car can then use CCS2 cables. I can’t recall the price. A few here have done it, so they might chime in.

From the car or cars in your Tesla account.

Some of the third party apps will track individual charging sessions and can calculate costs based on the site - home, whatever public charging location. you can also put the time of use cost schedule in for home. I have TezLab for this and it does it quite well. Many other functions. It is a...

It seems like the thing Jolt are aiming at - a bit of high turnover opportunity charging rather than someone with a specific schedule

I’m not sure 24.14 is out anywhere yet. I do have posts on the signs on 24.8.9 in a 2019 HW3 car

I did wonder about 24.14. You can’t see it on TeslaFi, Stats for Tesla or Teslascope in any of the cars using those services. You can certainly see the description on NotaTeslaApp. I think we might be a bit ahead of ourselves

Do you reckon they will reveal it on Saturday?

The self-parking in 8.9 is very smooth. I don’t get the images of the other cars on the screen, but I’m in a 2019 car

I last tried it with 8.7. I’ll try with 8.9 tomorrow

The current iteration of the parking algorithm is the smoothest and surest it has been so far. The only other system I have used is the Audi one from 5 years ago. It was quite, teutonic, in its approach. I’d be interested in other comparisons

FWIW the Harwood Supercharger has been flooded at least once and got going again pretty fast. You could see the high water mark on the chargers for quite a while.

The change in crossing traffic behaviour is quite a difference. In the past my car would always slow significantly if it spotted any crossing traffic.

They get a token via the Tesla API which you can revoke whenever if you are concerned about a security issue. None have direct access to your Tesla account

I have both Stats for Tesla and TezLab. TezLab is good for fine detail, including costs of charging and performance. Stats is good for comparing your car with the rest of the fleet.

The apps used to cause phantom drain by waking the car up, but now I’m pretty sure Stats for Tesla, TezLab, TeslaFi and Teslascope leave the car asleep. I haven’t noticed much phantom drain unless I have sentry on in a place that is fairly busy.

No. It is Telstra v Tesla thing, so you just have to wait it out.

Nice. Well done on a great effort

In the past there has been a connectivity issue between Tesla and Telstra that would bork the waking from sleep connection. It did go away after a day or two - presumably after their people spoke to their people.

Maybe the mods in their wisdom and mercy could gather the wayward posts into a trip planning strategy thread. It is an interesting topic in itself and there are good insights to be had.

Toyota is trying to have a Kodak moment

I’ll find out shortly. As for those waiting, Tesla software updates seem to come when they come and you should not necessarily feel responsible for when they come. As an axiom I find it broadly applicable.

I reckon Aquarius will be all you’d need. Save on carting all twelve of them around…

I do find that the seat calibration drifts from time to time. I just reposition the seat and save the setting.

Time to go short on Aliexpress shares…

I had an email from Evie a couple of days ago. It nominated a $2.00 pre-auth, but said that that might change. It did say that it would take 1-3 days for the bank to reverse the pre-auth. The slowness of the reversal is the main irritation for me. I haven’t used their service yet. It does put me...

The Tesla nav will still send you to the Sancrox site at Cassegrain not the new chargers at Thrumster.

2019 M3 Performance

Interesting point. App Store geoblocking is not something that I have thought about. I guess a side effect of managing the various streaming services

I get that feeling in the driver’s seat from time to time. I did get them to check it out and they tightened the bolts to spec. It is pretty rare now. Someone else suggested that replacing the bolts (by Tesla) was a fix. Might be worth a search in the wider forums on this site. As for range...

Might even be trailer friendly.

Glad to hear it with the Easter weekend coming up

Fair chance for the school holidays hopefully

App reporting temporary closure now

I think it means people using EV charging plans with whomever their retailer is in the Endeavour Energy transmission and distribution network. It will track EV ownership, but it is a bit of a distant proxy. There are certainly other places to get more informative data

I’m hoping the software will develop to the point where we have some control over the charging logic. For my use case then it would be house -> Powerwall -> car up to my usual set limit if sunshine available. If the car isn’t charged when the sun goes down, then start charging from the grid on...

It will be a blessing if it helps fix the charger reliability problem

It’ll be tight for the weekend, but time enough if good enough

If the car thinks you are on a single carriageway and you are running autopilot then the car won’t exceed what it thinks is the speed limit. How it decides what counts as single carriageway is a bit unclear to me. I have had it not want to exceed 40 on a country highway because it saw a...

Fortunately they are pretty rare, but make good click bait, so you hear about it a fair bit
