My P85S has always rattled in the front end. Been to Tesla a couple of times and said nothing wrong, so I have just put up with the rattle. 130 000km now and still passes rego inspections. Life goes on but would like a life without rattles.

With the current FSD hardware there would be carnage on our roads.

I ordered 4 of them during the launch. 3 by accident because the Tesla site kept on crashing. Time to give up on the "dream"?

Very good Geoff. Gave you your first like and subscribed! Keep them coming.

Wouldn't buy a Chinese made car on principle. Deciding on which car to get now. German or Korean. Love my old model S and will keep it.

The Chinese made car invasion is picking up speed...............

I accidentally ordered 4 of the buggers of the day Elon revealed it🤯 Haven't bothered to cancel the orders yet.

Can I grab the free one please?

Go for it. It opens up so many extra charging options. I paid about $700 for the upgrade so be grateful for the price reduction!

Gee, thanks cafz, I must have "painted on eyes". Didn't see that one. I had a moment on a drive recently where the Tesla navigation picked up an NRMA charger. I thought that's handy, but never seen it happen since. I'll use the plugshare app a bit better in future.

It makes sense to put some more in Sydney. Big gap between Sydney's two superchargers and the NRMA one at Lithgow if you disregard the destination chargers.

I live in Bathurst and Drive to Dubbo now and then. It depends on how far off track the stops are but I have no problem in P85D making the distance Bathurst to Dubbo. The trip planner on the Tesla is very accurate for me. If it is looking like it's going to get marginal and not so good for the...

I have 25 kw of solar a power wall and car. Agree with paulp and have green power so any power I must use in winter coming from the grid is clean solar or wind.

There is absolutely nothing racist about what I buy based on country of origin. I am basically anti globalisation but have to accept our governments have decided that globalisation is the way to go. Well, it now appears globalisation is not working as well as many would like to think. I believe...

I try to buy nothing made in China and it has nothing to do with quality. I buy Australian made whenever possible. We do not make cars so I buy products from a country that plays fair. China does not play fair. So they do not get my support. Simple. I have a Korean made TV. I check where my...

I will not buy any car made in China. Bad enough having some components made in China.

I find the information interesting. Thank you.

Oh that's great news. Had the CCS2 upgraded done on my P85D last month in Canberra at the big price. I have charged at Cowra and Orange at the NRMA chargers, both at near 50kw.

Thanks sharing this adventure. Great demonstration of the cars abilities.

My Powerwall 2 hums. (No issue as in the garage.)

Thanks Blue Heaven. Now 30kW at 74% This is no good at all. This slow rate changes everything. I really don't mind waiting 50 minutes but over 90 minutes when you know it can be better and what it was.

I hope Tesla are not trying to nobble people/cars with free lifetime supercharging. What used to be a 50 minute charge is going to take 90 minutes at this rate

still charging....... now added 204km and charge rate is 35kW. Switched from stall 3a to 2b and same rate. Not great.

Just pulled up at Bathurst in my P85D with 58km left and charge rate started at 22kW, now added 27km and charge rate has gone up 44kW. Outside temp 16 celcius. I'm sure last week i was getting 60kW. I have dual chargers. Now added 36km and charge rate gone up to 47kW.

I note they have turned comments off.

So true. And many humans are hypocrites judging by the number who go ahead and buy a new ICE car and go on ocean cruises despite despite claiming/voting they want a reduction in greenhouse gases.

Now there's an idea. I'll check that next drive and report back. The car is just so good in all regards these little noises stand out. Ta.

Thanks meloccon. I'll pull the trim off and have a poke around.

Talking of rattles is there a easy fix for a rattle that appears to come from the front left door.

Driving to Sydney from Bathurst on Wednesday for a noon appointment due to the AC refusing to work since the last software update. I think it will be very early departure dodging bushfires. I have had a the fault for a few weeks and a Tesla without AC in the Bathurst summer is very hot and noisy.

I'm in Bathurst and also would like a full size spare if a set is being split.

Having the same thought as I have 3 phase in the shed and it would be great when visiting friends with 3 phase.

Sounds a great idea.
