They were doing this car review and filming in my local suburb when I happened to be walking by. I asked about the car and mentioned I was an EV owner and looking to get a 2nd in about a years time. The guy seemed to indicate that the Hyundai was going to represent some real competition to...

There is a permanent tech on their way, he would have been there already (as of about 2 months ago) but has been restricted from going due to COVID

I actually just changed from Comminsure to Qantas Car Insurance. Comminsure was a good policy, but the max agreed value was $105k. Since I took out the policy a few months ago I have been feeling uneasy about it, if something happens to the car we're going to lose about 30k value because of the...

I see I'm not the only one with CDO.

I picked up a Milwaukie tyre inflator today and gave it a go when I got home. Bloody impressive, and I think it will live in the car when we go on road trips. $129 from Sydney Tools. It uses a different battery size though, so I ended up spending a bit more to get an appropriate sized battery...

$351 :)

As it turns out I followed your suggestion, joined the Tesla Owners Club (which has been on my to do list for a month but I hadn't done anything about it) for $50 and I'm picking up a borrowed adaptor tomorrow for free!

Bugger, thanks for the quick response Ray. So...anybody in Sydney selling an adapter by chance? I'm located in Malabar.

Thanks everybody for the previous advice on cables, I purchased the adapter and cable and both have served me well as I've been making a point of supporting the infrastructure wherever I go. I am now faced with a situation where I'm doing a drive with my family next week in our X where I need a...

I had my first experience with a dhead Tesla driver about an hour ago. I was parked in a normal sized charging bay which was next to a "small car" charging bay (noticeably smaller) and then another two normal sized charging bays. I was parked between the lines (important point) and thought I had...

Opti-Coat Store South Sydney I got the opticoat plus this week, fantastic results. Directly opposite the Alexandria delivery center. Would highly recommend. The blue X is mine

Just got home from picking it up. Hang in there, I know it's so tough, but OMG is it worth it!

I ordered my X in June, picking it up on Monday (brought forward from Thursday)

Just to clarify this. I'm picking up my X next week and taking it straight to the window tinting place. I plan on tinting the front windows to 35% (darkest legal) and getting UV film for everywhere else to help stop excess heat. Is everybody saying the UV isn't necessary, and that it may cause...

Wow that’s fantastic! What value did you put on the car (or agreed value?), and what year?

In preparation for my X delivery next week, I’ve been sorting window tinting and ceramic coating today which included visiting the businesses. As it turns out, the opticoat place is directly opposite the delivery center at Alexandria. I couldn’t help myself and had to drive into the driveway and...

Hi all, in the process of getting quotes for my new X which I'm scheduled to take delivery on at the end of the month. So far the best quote I have found is CommInsure, $2221.97 per year, insured for $162k with $1,700 excess. Eastern Suburbs of Sydney with no adverse driver history. At this...

Thanks PJF000, that's what I was after. I initially did a search and found nothing in Australia.

Thanks Akikiki.....I think. What you have said is super obvious and really hasn't helped me in any way. Maybe a MX owner in NSW might have something more relevant to contribute, for which I'd be very thankful. EDIT: I'm not trying to sound like a smartass. There has been lots of discussion...

Morning Tesla fans, in anticipation of picking up my new X on the 26th I'm looking at the insurance options. So far the best quote is CommInsure, $2221.97 per year insured $162k with $1700 excess. This quote is miles ahead of all the other companies (those that actually offer insurance for...

Just got the call from Tesla for my Model X, pickup booked in for 26th at 10am with possibility of maybe moving it forward to the 23rd. Now waiting for invoice.

Very excited, got a hidden VIN yesterday. Model X, blue, standard range, 6 seat black interior, fsd 5YJXDCE26KF1898xx

Maybe I've used the wrong terminology, there is a chargefox station close to me (Des Renford Leisure Centre) which has a charging station but no cables, i.e. you need to have your own cable. I assume this is where ill need to T2 to T2 cable.

Thanks everybody for the replies. I also assumed I probably wouldn't need any cables for the types of driving we will be doing, but want to be prepared. I think ill definitely get a type 2 to type 2 cable so that we can charge at chargefox etc, not that we need to but I want to support the...

Afternoon all, sorry if this has been answered before, I have been watching this forum for a while but wanted to ask this specific question as I was hoping for confirmation. With the imminent arrival (I think) of our first Tesla, a Model X, I've been doing all the research to get ready for the...

Do you have a photo you can send me? I have an X that is due soon (August delivery....so they say :P )

Judging by your username I’m thinking you work for QF as tech crew? Just like me. If so, yes it is offered. I have it applied to my Model X that’s supposed to be arriving this month, but it basically just means you get a car guaranteed if you take it in do service, from memory.
