    Length and Amp rating of Type 2 Cable

    I would opt to get the longest one (if you get one rated to only 11kW ie the maximum the 3/Y can take) it will be thinner conductors so easily coiled and less weight. Also optionally remove 11mm from the male end to use as an extension and stop the risk of the cable being locked into the BYO...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I think you have the rear one on the wrong side.🤔 So much better than the stock ones, although tesla couldn't upsell the wheels if the standards looked this good.

    Model-Y Comprehensive Insurance Recommendation

    I like AAMI, in that you can increase the Agreed Value (Not sure what Market Value will be if/when it's required) but at least you can cover the price rises and be able to pay the scalper rates if you want to get a new one straight away. Somthing to think about. My premiums for garaged in...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Would recommend cheapest option for charging (both installation and ongoing) is to Get a 7kW tail for your UMC (universal mobile connector - "Granny charger") and wire it into the offpeak/ Controlled load circuit. The UMC will start charging automatically when the controlled load turns on the...

    Functional Difference Between Local and International UMC

    Model 3 charging: type 2 extension 11kW vs 22kW; what is the difference?

    Yes, the plugs would be the same, but there would be some electronics inside to tell the wall connector / onboard charger what is the maximum current. The physical differences in the cable would be the Cross sectional area of the conductors. All things being said, The Model 3 can only charge at...

    12V Battery Replacement Options

    FSD v9.0 in Australia is just a con isn't it?

    My thoughts on the FSD (the package sold by tesla) is that you are essentially paying to play, be a beta testa. Tesla is using your real world information to create a real usable product. However, I don't believe it's the one that people are paying for currently. When Full self driving (the...

    Charging M3 SR+ 2021 at home

    One further note that I learned only recently. The GEN1 (original Model S and X supplied) UMC can charge up to 11kW 3 phase with the right adapter (Red Euro tail + adapter. This seems perfectly matched to the AC charger in the Model 3. You can find them on Ebay 2nd hand

    Charging M3 SR+ 2021 at home

    So there are 2 main questions you should ask. How much do you regularly require to recharge each night. (then do the sums in terms of added range while parked) Is price more important than convenience. (leaving the UMC in the car for emergencies vs risk not taking vs packing up each day) Bear...

    Model 3 SR+ near Norwest, Sydney

    Maybe you're talking about your own situation? Some live in a unit with no off street parking or charging option and if you're paying for electricity, even off peak rates, then it isn't the cheapest when free charging is available.

    Getting 118kW charging on my ancient S75D !

    I think this is right, that the charge rate is controlled by the BMS, not controlled by the charger. ScanMyTesla reports a maximum charge rate that depends on temperature and SOC. My guess is that Tesla have changed the software.

    TPMS Changes - Are Fine Faulty/Incorrect?

    Have you set your wheels to 19's in the MCU? I believe it will generate an error if the wrong wheel size is set. I had this when I set my wheels as 19" when I still had 21's on the car.

    My only other thoughts are, did you sign up for teslafi or one of those apps. If so, it could be "waking up" the car and causing the behaviour. Also you didn't mention the energy saving / always connected settings in are, what are these set to? Secondly, can agree that the scan my Tesla app and...
