I received an email today offering transfer of my (future promise of) FSD to a new car if I took delivery before the end of March. It included not just factory new, but also inventory stock. I am not ready to trade in my current car, but for those who have already purchased a promise of FSD and...

UQ has published a YouTube video with some of the results from its EV charging study. The study gathered data from participants via the Teslascope service. Participants got a free Teslascope premium account if they enrolled. I participated and I think a few others here too. So about 850...

Do the mobile service team come up to Newcastle from Sydney? My low voltage battery is giving a warning.

My car will be 4 in September and the warranty will be ending. I spoke about an end of warranty inspection with the Alexandria Service Centre in Sydney, but they seemed not to be offering such a service - I can see why it might not be in their interest. Can anyone recommend someone who has the...

So I’m having a little power outage in an Ausgrid NSW area. My Powerwall 2 is pretty full (>80%) and keeping the lights, fridge and IT running. However, as soon as the power went out the solar system switched itself off. I wasn’t expecting this because I thought the Powerwall gateway would be...

Apparently the Model 3 air con sensors can be a bit unreliable in the new heat pump set up.. Green is a Tesla hacker and from their Twitter feed: PSA: Tesla changed from "only fix when customer complains" to doing a full wide stealthy recall for the 2020/2021 3/Y. The A/C sensors are going bad...

I received an email today saying I needed to start subscribing for premium connectivity for my M3P. I went to my account to sign up, but got an error message. Can anyone remember if the M3Ps are supposed to get lifetime premium connectivity - which might be causing the error? I don’t mind...

So The Driven is reporting that ChargePoint is giving up in Australia. They say the chargers will still work, but need some sort of an RFID card waved at them (?maybe any card with an RFID?). ChargePoint will not be providing any support for the chargeChargePoint reckons ChargeFox will be...

I’m having troubles getting PlugShare to show NRMA and ChargeFox chargers. I’ve tried adding all the charger types and networks. Deleted and redownloaded the app. Signed in and out. Changed car types. Set plug score to zero and other values. Nothing has worked so far. Anyone else having this...

I’ve noticed in the last couple of days that the NRMA network has disappeared from the PlugShare app. All still there on Google maps (the NRMA app is a farce). Anyone have any ideas why this might be the case? Apart from manually re-entering them as I go, is it worth an email to PlugShare...

Chargefox on Twitter To help those leaving fire zones Chargefox are not charging for power at their stations for the next 48 hours. Good on them. Edit: and Queensland

So we don’t always have particular software features straight out of the box. To save a bit of frustration I thought a thread where we could share solutions to some annoying problems. Not software or hardware hacks, but things that solve the problems nevertheless. I’ll start with: Lack of...

A Redditor u/dirtytesla has put together a helpful video about the firmware update process for Teslas. The post: Why I am not getting updates, connect to my phone as hotspot. : TeslaModel3 Straight to the video: The issue has been mentioned in the “big thread” but I thought it might be...

Are you assigned a delivery specialist you can contact prior to the day of delivery or do you just meet someone on the day and go from there? I’m trying to get an idea of the delivery process now that I have a date.

An Inside EVs video popped up in my Google news feed that people wanting a different wheel with good efficiency might be interested in. Although given we seem to be able to produce photos of cargo ships complete with likely Tesla manifests on rainy nights, this probably isn’t news to anyone ...

I currently have a 3 pin 16 amp outlet for charging my A3 etron. Picture attached. I was wondering if it would fit this Tesla adaptor cable European CEE 16A 2P+E Blue Commando (Caravan Mains) Adapter for Tesla Model S/X/3 Gen 2 – EVSE Adapters

Does anyone have experience with the Zappi charger? It allows you to automatically shunt excess solar production into your car before exporting to the grid. It only runs to max 7kW, but looked interesting.

I have a safety question about this choice. Choosing the 32A option gets faster charging, but will there be a problem if you plug it into a 3 phase socket only rated for 20A? I’m assuming that in a 32A socket a 20A cable will only draw 20A and be safe, whereas a 32A cable might try to get 32A...

I’ve been looking around at the various adaptors that can be plugged into the Tesla mobile charger. They are all fairly short. I’m thinking that unless the power outlet you are using is quite close to the ground or some suitable flat raised surface, the charger is going to be dangling by the...
