    Supercharger - Macquarie Park, NSW

    Quick visit today (Sat 15/03) - all stalls dead. 2 model Xs were already parked and plugged in so it might've worked earlier, but no luck for us and additional cars that arrived at the same time with us.

    If you like having your blood pressure raised...

    I don't agree with the "99.5% of scientists" argument since it employs a demagogue technique - application of authority. Majority of *people* can be wrong and there were plenty of examples for that in our history. People are easily subverted, can be bribed, are often afraid to speak up against...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    BT-connected key uses radio signal TOF (time of flight) interpolation (since it's too fast to use other methods) to calculate the distance between the car and the phone. If the phone gets away and the car is set to lock on that event (there's a setting for walk-away lock or something like that)...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    #methree :) + Navigation update to 2019.24 followed immediately Sentry mode's up with Sandisk 256G endurance microSD card - initially didn't work since it wasn't FAT32 formatted (have to get a special fat32format utility to format large drives now).

    Wailing wall for Australian Model 3 team VINLess!

    MY can stand for model year or manufacturing year. The latter is of interest to insurance companies / rego AFAIK.

    Wailing wall for Australian Model 3 team VINLess!

    Yep, same for ours. No manual hardcopy, accessible via the GUI == Treelon saving trees, I don't mind that at all. V9 is annoying tho, after we returned home I was tapping "advanced" like a clown :D

    I've got "the call", invoice and delivery date set to next Friday - for LR AWD that arrived on ANL Tongala (5190XX range). The Tesla guy mentioned that the car will arrive at the service centre day before the delivery. YAY!

    Tesla Cybertruck in Australia

    The glass mishap was probably caused by rigidity of the door - there was no room for the glass to flex after impact unlike on the table where it was free to bounce.

    Tesla Cybertruck in Australia

    I reserved triple and it's nowhere to be seen :(

    Tesla Cybertruck in Australia

    Same here. I think I was logged in another tab though, but also got no email and nothing shows in the account. Heard the US reservation site crashed, haha. Maybe the backend is throttling now, I expect to see some indication in a day or so.

    Tesla Cybertruck in Australia

    Well, from engineering perspective you can either have a truck with nice metallic painted finish and pretty curves made of tin foil or hardened SS sheets that can stop a pistol round - but with angular flat panels. Exoskeleton is the main reason for the controversial looks and it's pretty...

    Fun with Powerwall 2 stats...

    I can confirm Origin pays out the credits via bank transfer. Just need to find this option, the link for credit transfer is hidden deeply in mobile app FAQ section :)

    Wailing wall for Australian Model 3 team VINLess!

    Had a call from Tesla today (missed it, unfortunately), no invoice yet. In the voicemail and followup email they say 9th to 20th December delivery, so I assume it's on Synergy Keelung arriving in Sydney @22 Nov. Hidden VIN: 5YJ3F7EB6LF519011, white LR AWD, Sydney delivery.

    7.5 m AFAIK, my boss has a P3D- and got the long version. Not sure if it can be changed, maybe ask them @delivery. BTW, we are in the same VIN range (5190xx), I'm waiting for white LR AWD as well. Also no calls / emails yet.

    No calls from Sydney delivery yet... They say in Sydney it might come very close to the actual delivery date.

    How much do you charge from solar in Australia?

    There's Origin Energy "solar optimiser" plan (NSW) that gives 21c/kWh FIT. It's ~29c/kWh flat price though - no off-peak and no discounts, but for decently sized solar system it pays out. I think this is the maximum FIT available right now. Expecting negative bill coming soon :)

    Wailing wall for Australian Model 3 team VINLess!

    Yay! Finally there's some love in the air for LR AWD! Saw a hidden VIN just as I was contemplating on writing a whiny post to release some steam :) 5YJ3F7EB6LF5190XX - FYI @Vedaprime No reservation, Pear White / Black / no FSD - ordered 8/10. Very excited!
