    Model 3 Performance Replacement Tyres - Cost and Durability

    I thought I'd share my information on tyre life for other's benefit. Today, after 59,500 km, I replaced my tyres on my Model 3 Performance (Dec 2019).

    What Charger to Buy - Tesla, Zappi, Other?

    I've been living without home charging since purchasing my M3P+ in December last year. I'm renting in an apartment complex that doesn't have anywhere to charge. The Tesla Wall Connector that I received with my car is installed at my parents place. That's allowed me to use that charger when...

    One Pothole, 2 Flat Tyres on a Model 3P+

    The rain has been intense on the Gold Coast over the last few days and the roads have suffered with potholes opening up all over the place. I was on my way home from my parents in Helensvale on the Gold Coast and hit a pothole with both left tyres at less than 60 km/h. It was bad enough that I...
