    Electrical vehicles will be taxed in Victoria Australia from July 1, 2021

    My iPhone Tesla app shows time, distance traveled and VIN but not the date. On my iPad Tesla app, it does show the date. I will send Vic Roads the iPad screen shot. Collecting this tax will cost more than it generates. I don’t use my car a lot, will have to pay $77 based on past 12 months...

    State based EV road user charge (Overturned 18/10/23)

    I wonder what Elon would think of this tax on EVs? Does he even know about it? I’m not on Twitter but he did help us get a lower premium connectivity rate in Australia, when contacted by an Australian on that issue. I really object to this useage tax because if I’m charging with grid power, I’m...

    Understanding the Tesla Model S Performance motor

    I watched 2 YT videos made by a Professor of Auto Technology in a USA Uni. Well worth a watch but a bit slow at times. One interesting part was that the 2 bearings that support the motor rotor shaft are ceramic ball bearings. They run dry with no lubricant and rotate at max of 18,000 RPM. The...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Yep, crap. I have lost traffic lights, stop signs, the list goes on. The big white elephant screen is empty most of the time. I don’t bother looking at it now. AND I loose 10km range over night. Never had that before in 12 months of owning. Elon, wake up.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I have similar situation of people not hearing my car in supermarket car parks. I’m very wary of them, so drive at their pace. Saw a YT review on a MG EV, it had a button on steering column that sounded a bell sound. Just like a tram. ‘ding ding’ Not too loud. Better than a constant sound when...

    Pumping up our tyres

    I bought a manual foot pump from SCA when I noticed pressures dropped from 41 to 38/37 after 3 months of driving. Looked at 12v plug in and rechargeable options. Foot pump was $30. Not that hard to use. Gauge may be a little bit out but I have a digital gauge to double check. All tyres showing...

    Turning Bluetooth off - am I being paranoid...

    Vostok, If I walk away from my car, it might be 20 metres until it locks. But if my wife walks away, the car locks within a few metres. Weird Same iPhone models, 6 And it’s the same whether in our garage or an open car park. I always look while walking away to make sure it locks, it always locks.
