    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    But guessing is fuzzy logic. Used to work well in washing machines. It needs to follow logic logic says I use right of lane marking and test again, test again for left. This is basic programming logic. Even in the 70's kids built robots that had more logic than this...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    An update on last weekend's trip from south west Sydney to Port Macquarie hill area (don't know the name of the area but up the hills from Wauchope). We charged to 100% and used the 2 NRMA chargers on the way. Both free at present, but not for long it seems. Going up the hills the k's dropped...

    Oh well at least we get 5% back in the next firmware update.

    Degradation. After less than a month I have 0.49% degradation. In my SR+ I did do 1 long trip and had to use 100% charging. Anyone else getting degradation of the battery. Not a good sign so soon? So fast?

    Yes there was no one to call except towing. They could do Aus towing but nothing else. I am glad I went Leaseplan...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Actually I only had to back back 2 metres and bam. I was back in Aus. Reason for the panic was the 3 phase charger install today. I thought we had a major problem as we wired it for 32 amp which of course it can't do. But no, something weird is all. Any way all good. Only bug I have found is a...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Help! I had issues with the charge port tonight and in a panic I did a factory reset (port said fail to open). My car now thinks it is in Palo Alto at the HQ! Phone app still connects and I redid my profile. Anyone know what to do? It can't find my home in Australia so I assume the map data is...

    BTW it is great that Tunein supports ABC Newsradio. Without DAB was kind lost without it. :)

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Omg anyone sat in their M3 as it has done an update. The bangs and resets of various systems are kinda scary. I thought something broke under the hood! If it had pistons I would have thought one just went through the bonnet (have actually seen this in a Ford Falcon 500 many years ago. LOL...

    Who needs to read a review once car is driven? Drive it enjoy. Ignore the reviewers. Most of what they have said is rubbish in the past. Haven’t experienced half of what was written...

    I have actually noticed that synch mode on the AC is a fail. It won’t go cold on the other side if one side is set high. I will complain about this. Everyone else’s work the same?

    I was thinking of putting on a retro Louver. Anyone thinking the same? I already have the quarter window ones.

    Good idea. You have convinced me. I texted the electrician doing the job tomorrow... all sorted. He will get a plug and socket.

    No SR+ range too short I think. But won't know until we try that long trip...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Yeah well that killed my purchase of a Performance. I would be very annoyed if this LCT drop happens. Likely we will end up with some tax too. If they could tax the fly crossing the road they would... Then as usual no one wins.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Maybe, but he needs volume, as soon as he has volume he can lower the price. My worst fear is the opposite happening. Look at the iPhone - 2.5K for a phone? You serious? Prices have increased. Competition has increased. He wont lose, he is still tesla as a brand. And the brand is a selling...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Because as I said (but not so clearly) I may not be driving directly all in one day. Also may go off-piste and away from the main route. Drivers do that you know...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I expect the price to drop next year closer to the Y intro date. Also, people generally find a way to get what they want (I used Leaseplan to drop below cash price). Plus incentives. I think we might end up with these. Unfortunately for us all of these things will likely cause a lot of...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I think you are not quite right there. I believe they will become the number 1 selling car in Aus, just like in other countries. And I think it will happen more quickly than people expect. If they have the volume to back up the coming orders then no probs. Most live in big cities and the SR+ is...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Was just thinking that the Nabiac charger being down is like a petrol station out of petrol. Only that doesn't really happen, does it? I hope we have bought into the right technology after all this. :) Teething troubles I guess...

    Anyone know where the Nabiac CC2 charger is? NRMA map is pretty much useless...
  25. A

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    OK so I am looking for CC2 chargers as alternatives. Anyone know the easiest tool to find these? Some of the map tools are limited and don't show everything or are hard to select alternative types of chargers.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    True but only if you stay on the path and charge in the middle as the SR+ does 320K's max. Not the full distance (About 400K's from my house). Yes, we might stop at Heatherbrae and we might stray inland. A lot of the alternative network is 3 phase. Not Tesla... I don't know what route we might...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Agreed there is one Supercharger, and 2 destination chargers attached to motels who want to charge you to stay the night. But there are other options. I just need to know the cabling...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    OK, I give up... I need to take the SR+ from Sydney to Port Macquarie but there is a lack of charging infrastructure specific from Tesla Corp. i.e. superchargers on the route. If we go off piste, I risk losing charge. I can take the UMC but it is single phase and slow as a snail even at 15 amps...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Anyone else can't connect to the Galaxy Note? Everyone elses phones work. Can you use it as a hotspot to the car and also pick it up on bluetooth? Everything else ok after the first 2 days for my SR+. Some bump noises from suspension. Slight squaek in steering when backing. Nothing major. BTW...

    Well, so far my car seems all perfect. Of course I havnt looked underneath. But I can't see dints, scratches or paint issues. Sr+ is amazing BTW. Just get one...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Wow, gotta have that then!!! I hear you should also use sound rubber foam stuff on your doors. it helps seal them more. And maybe some noise drop.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Actually hold that thought. I hear 2 gears are better than 1 even in EV land. Here we go again. Just like my HK Kingswood with its Dimatic!

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Now just need to hear my from the SR+ crowd. No one has mentioned it, so it is either good or something that can't be admitted to after spending all that cash. I am just overly concerned as I never got a test drive and yeah like it is still a lot of dosh, only cheaper than the P+ If my better...

    Is the DSG gearbox still rubbish? My Camaro has the old 4 speed mid 90's Commodore transmission as standard. It does the job.

    Yep, that is the one... Torque rules!

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    And the ride over bumps? A lot have said drop the tyre pressure. Why are they so damn pumped anyway. I drive my heavy A#$ Camaro on 32lb. How many tonnes are these things?

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Did you notice any twichiness with it being RWD? A number of the reviews have mentioned this during high speed turns along with rough ride on the bumps. I am hoping the Aus car has better shocks and been adjusted to suit Aus better.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Is that really worth getting? I got a high-pressure cleaner for my birthday recently. I was hoping that was enough. Does anyone suggest ceramic coater that is not stupidly priced in Sydney? It is so darned expensive... BTW, mine is black. Better half didn't like the white one on display at...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    You are lucky, I haven't even driven the SR+ or any of the 3's. Good to see you can squeal those wheels despite the weight. Still not sure how it can be faster than a Golf GTI given that weight... I'm gunna drag race it against my Camaro! Whoa! 2 fast cars! Yeah, bit surprising it can...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I think that depends on your set up. I have solar and they installed Time of Use or some such meters. I think it is all a fleecing scam, to be honest...

    Hi what r people doing for floor mats? Sr+ has none. Correct? And no RHD mats yet released. Basic mats in mean time?

    LOL, my other Sunday drive is a 95 Camaro. It looks like it has been in an accident and had half the panels.replaced. only it hasn't. 70K on the clock and most parts like new American automotive, what can one say? It ain't Japan...

    yeah I wanted the car on my birthday in Mid September. I think that might have happened if I had kept to a Performance. Alas wasn't to be. I celebrated in other ways instead...

    Wow, really? I had planned to swap to them but they couldn't cope with installing new meters as we have a dog. Now that EA did this I will look into IT.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Yeah, my monies come from a small inheritance. I ordered the car, then had the car downgraded by better half ('too expensive'), and now she wants to be the driver on a daily basis even though I am paying. I get to take the train! :( There is much to be said for Tesla marketing as a luxury car...
