To be honest, I get the sense you are blaming the car for the driver not driving with sufficient care. Let's assume that was your kid that someone knocked over, giving the same series of explanations. Would you be satisfied? The driver assumed lines and clearances without prior testing, didn't...

MYP VINs finally assigned! 🥳 In Melbourne, ordered on Day 1 back in June last year. Black with white interior - VIN assigned but delivery is "TBD" Grey with white interior - VIN assigned and delivery February 23 - March 16

Nice! I actually used them to install mine back in 2019 as well. Good to hear they're still one of the better ones around. Will go back to them again.

Can you please share contact details for the sparky you used? Thanks

Looks useful, but also a liability in the event of an accident. I'll put up with the kids complaining about sore arms vs. potential crushed ribs.

Any recommendations for floor mats? I'm thinking of getting the quilted leatherette stuff on AliExpress coz I'm not a fan of rubber mats.

Now to spend the next few months accumulating accessories... What's on everyone's list? - floor mats - USB stick - wall charger - screen protector (none of the above are standard inclusions right?)

Wife will be selling/trading-in her 3. For us the range from the SR was pretty inconvenient and also wanted a bigger boot to load the dog. Ideally we wanted LR but didn't want to wait any longer. I'm interested to hear reasons for other people switching from 3 to Y.

Ordered 2x perf in black and grey, both white interior. Anyone know if the cars these days come with the wall charger in the boot? I know they stopped including the portable charger.

Height is 31.0cm Width is 16.0cm Depth is 6.3cm

1. Figure out your usage pattern. Do you use more energy during the day, more in the evening, or are flexible to use more whenever you determine? Your energy distributor will have a page allowing you to data-dump your usage patterns so you can make a detailed review of your time of use patterns...

2021.4.18 Autopilot seems to be making more mistakes. Most notable is picking up wrong speed limits. Went regional driving. It occasionally confuses 80 for 30 with corresponding braking - dangerous and annoying. It has picked up a couple of times the yellow recommended 70 on a bend sign on a...

Quick update - received delivery of the bottle this morning. I gotta say, I am quite disappointed. The bottle looks nice from a distance but up close and in-hand you can tell its been made very cheaply and hastily. The glass walls are thin - about half the thickness of the glass in your...

Yep that's it

Anyone in Australia received theirs yet? I ordered on day of release but no news since.

At the risk of sounding like a paid shill, I was very happy with the advice and service from Paul at Roof Carrier Systems/Snow Tyres.

Can't speak for the S but the X also comes with Tesla's recommendation not to use standard chains. My X is fitted with Konig XG-12s and they work fine. If my experience is any indication I think Tesla are being overly conservative about their clearances. I suggest ringing around a few reputable...

India is RHD, and also happens to be geographically in the middle of most markets that have RHD. My guess would be that longer term, all RHD versions will get produced out of the India Gigafactory.

Basically, there will be no new S or X in Aus for the next 12 months?

Interesting question - here are some stats: https://electricvehiclecouncil.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/EVC-State-of-EVs-2020-report.pdf EVs Sold (page 14): 2019 sales for NSW and VIC are roughly the same at 832 and 815, respectively. Charging Infrastructure (page 38): NSW does have a...

Geez, hopefully this announcement gets the Mansfield one moving along.

Thanks for confirming. That's quite strange they would release it for 3 &Y but not yet have it working on the X & S. It would seem to be a relatively simple implementation - but I am not a programmer so what do I know. Anyway, my wife tends to be more careless about not checking the windows on...

Is it just me or does the new software for auto-close windows on lock not work for Model X?

I want to own a Cybertruck so bad. The only problem for me is the size - I just don’t need something so big while doing mostly city driving with narrow lanes and tight underground parking. The whole design package is great, I love the angular look and that raw steel finish is going to start a...

Not sure of the full history of your interactions but I gotta admit I too have been close to spitting the dummy and cancelling orders for 2 cars after waiting several months. Now that I have them though, I am very glad to have stuck it through and would not change them for any other car...

Yes, same issue here on Model 3 and Model X - both on v2019.32.12.2. Logs into the premium account fine, loads up playlists and favourites etc. all fine, initial few songs seem to play fine. The problem starts when you start skipping songs, or jumping ahead in the playlist. It just hangs...

Quick review guys. So I bought one of these thinking it would help resolve the problem of my water bottle constantly knocking around and falling over in the stock cup holders. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000113508235.html You can think of this more as a stubby for your bottle/cup rather...

Thanks for confirming. I am supportive of the simplification/streamlining and all of that, but I can't help but feel this is a liability. Visual confirmation that a car is reversing shouldn't require more than a split second glance from either side of a vehicle.

I just noticed that my SR+ has the reverse (white) light on the passenger side only. Can other owners please chime in? Is this normal or do I need to book in a service check? Edit: confusion ensues after checking that our Model X has reverse lights symmetrically on both sides.

I am waiting on the same charger! :p Also thought about putting a PD/QC spec powerbank inbetween to enable 10W of wireless power but I read elsewhere that in-car temperatures during summer could result in potential fire issues unless the battery is LiFePo4. Maybe the risk is merely theoretical...

Also finding the TACC to be amazingly polished in 99% of cases. The Auto Steer does get worrying in city streets and I have needed to step in to avoid issues from people suddenly cutting in and neighbouring cars not sticking to their lanes. That said, it is not officially intended for suburban...

I wasn't keen on any of the rubber/TPU mats for the car. For our climate, we don't need such hardcore waterproofing and having rubber mats in what is supposed to be a luxury/premium segment sedan makes it look too utilitarian (and a bit trashy IMHO). Who would consider putting rubber interior...

This may be a time consuming request so much thanks in advance. For the poor SR+ owners who are stuck without any mats, could someone with full premium factory mats please provide some photos with basic measurements? I’d like to get a few meters of automotive carpet from Bunnings and trim to...

Well there you go, we should start paying more attention to the fine print! :D Interestingly, the Tesla T&Cs do vindicate both parties of the original argument:

You're both right, technically everyone with a Tesla has the same entitlement and there is abit of an unspoken 'bro code' that the network shouldn't be abused. The bottom line for me though is that no one knows (nor is it anyone's business to know) whether someone is charging on an interstate...

Now that I have my VINs and delivery date, I called up RACV and realised I was about to get shafted. Compared to the earlier quote they gave me 2 weeks ago over the phone (and email), the cost to get the policy today has jumped by $450 for the Model X. Apparently the quote is just 'indicative'...

Wow that's a word I have not seen for a long time! I like it, it should come back into fashion.

I noticed this as well when I checked the source code this morning. In my case it was showing $95.46 as the amount due at delivery. Being certain that I paid the full amount as indicated on the emailed invoice, I added back all of the amounts including the $95.46 and I found the higher total at...

If it helps, we received invoices for our 2 cars and the BSB is the same and the account numbers correspond to the RN number for each vehicle. The BSB should be 248-074 and you can verify this to be Tesla if you do a BSB lookup here or at other similar sites: Search BSBs. Typically, BSBs...

Depends on the the purpose. If it is for the quarterly financial reporting for shareholders/investors, the sale and purchase would net off under consolidation to zero. If it is for tax purposes, it could operate to recognise the revenue in the US and the expense in Australia. But given the...

Cheers mate, they look like a good outfit. I like it when stores give you upfront transparent pricing. Btw, does anyone know whether the SR+ comes with factory tinted/darkened windows? Trying to line up some tinting quotes but not sure if I should be asking for 4 windows or 2.

Mind sharing what you were charged?

Missed the call earlier today, but got an email follow-up wanting to schedule delivery for a Blue SR+ on 27 Sept. Richmond Victoria. Unfortunately for us, we won't be in the country so had to request a push back to early October. Hope this frees up a slot for someone else to get their car sooner!

Have you noticed any material impact to overnight power drain?

So there seems to be a lot of historical issues around tapping the 12V system to hardwire the dashcam for always-on recording. The alternative implementation that is often suggested is having a power bank sit inbetween the cigarette charger and the dashcam. Since the powerbank mAh are typically...

For the folks who have already picked up their cars... did you get the HPWC at the same time together with the car? Or did they promise to send it later? I have a sparky scheduled to come install the same day as the car pickup so will need to be sure I will have one with me when I come home.

When I checked with RACV, they confirmed that the 'Market Value' policy provides new for old replacement during the first 2 years of ownership. If the car cannot be repaired, they will replace it with the a new car of the same model. If the model has been updated, then the replacement will be a...

Ooooh hidden VIN assigned today! Blue SR+ 5YJ3F7EAXKF4734XX Reservation holder, didnt order until early August.

Interesting... Does the fact that there is no option to buy the interior floor mats as an aftermarket accessory mean that the SR+ partial premiums interiors also come with mats included?

As someone also waiting on a blue SR+ I might be just a little biased but I have to agree with you there. That blue looks amazing on the 3 and it seems to have such a wide range depending on the lighting conditions - dark blue in overcast light through to royal/electic blue on a bright day...
