    Yep looks like it's gone.

    Has Anyone Else Experienced Widget Issues w/the Latest Tesla App Update?

    I am also experiencing the problem for the first time ever. It started yesterday. I'm also on 4.25.6.

    Touchscreen not responsive for text messages

    I am also seeing this behaviour since an update applied in August. I'm now on 2023.26.8. I am planning to log a ticket with Tesla

    AGL’s “Night Saver Energy Plan”

    They say they will refund it. They also pay interest on the credit balance. My understanding is you can also request it be paid back to you from time to time. For me they estimated a monthly payment of $119. So far in winter I am spending about $100/month. I'm looking forward to seeing how...

    AGL’s “Night Saver Energy Plan”

    My understanding was that the 4,000kw cap/year relates to the Solar plans and not the EV plan. If anyone knows different would be great to confirm.

    AGL’s “Night Saver Energy Plan”

    I've recently moved to OV. It is saving us a heap. I've attached a screenshot of our rates in Melbourne (Powercor) It has a 8c/kw from midnight to 6am and a 10c FIT. If it looks like you'd save using it. I used to be on the AGL EV plan, but after putting my usage through a spreadsheet I...

    Indicator (Turn Signal) turns on when in Autopilot 2023.20.9

    Since updating to 20.9 I have found the car exhibiting an odd new behaviour. When in Autopilot and on a freeway that has recently been upgraded the indicator turns on automatically even though I do not have navigate on autopilot engaged or auto lane change engaged. The new road is about 30...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I updated from 2.12 to 12.1.1 this morning. So far I feel like autopilot just took a step backwards. I use Autopilot on the freeway and noticed that it now is not slowing and stopping behind vehicles in front of it as smoothly as it was previously. The computer also started glitching part way...

    2023.6.11

    I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one stuck on 2023.2.12. I've tried the usual tricks of rebooting etc and no luck. I guess it's just my turn to get to the back of the line. I'm not a user of zoom anyway so I suspect nothing of major interest to me yet.

    Rear seat squeak - tucking in a blanket stops the squeak

    Sadly, here in Australia the service is nowhere near as good. I do get an Uber voucher to that gets me half way home though :). Would be so nice to be provided a courtesy car.

    Rear seat squeak - tucking in a blanket stops the squeak

    I have a 2020 Model 3. In the past couple of years the car has developed a squeak in the rear seat. I have discovered that if I put a blanket or towel between the seat cushion and the back cushion of the rear seat the squeak goes away. I think the issue is the seat material rubbing between...

    EV chargers are fuel stations

    I think suburban petrol stations will go the way of video rental stores. Urban stations will likely transform to service people living in high density locations. Chargers will also become standard in car parks and places where you park your car for an extended period of time. The reality for...

    2021.40.6 - live sentry mode

    I also did not get live sentry mode when I got the update today. I have premium connectivity. I thought that maybe it had not been released in Australia.

    Tesla App 4.0 - can no longer unlock MX, open trunk/frunk, etc

    I had a similar issue this morning where the car would not unlock. I put the phone in flight mode and took it out of flight mode and it still took about 1 minute before it worked. Traditionally putting the phone into and out of flight mode fixed it instantly.

    Replacing Tyres on Model 3 - Tesla versus Tyre store

    Thanks for the info. I figure the torque in the car is there for a reason... to use it! Do you find the Toyo Proxes C100 235/45 R18 98W wheels quieter/similar to the Michelin PS4s?

    Replacing Tyres on Model 3 - Tesla versus Tyre store

    My M3LR has done 30k. I had the car in at the Tesla Service centre for a tyre rotation and they are saying it should get tyres replaced. Front Tyres are at ~3mm tread and rear tyres are at just shy of 4mm. They are quoting $2059.87 to replace all 4 tyres including the wheel alignment. The tyres...

    UK Updates

    I'm based in Australia and have a 2020 M3LR and also still stuck on 2020.48.35.5. I have logged a service ticket today to see if there is an issue.

    Phone app wont connect when car is Asleep

    When it happened to me last year it was related to an issue with Telstra. I logged a service call with Tesla and they told me they were aware of the issue and just to wait for Telstra to resolve it. Here is the old post Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Model 3 Australia - Massive Price Cut

    In December 2020 in Victoria with white paint the LR AWD (without FSD) was $95,502.60. Today it is $89,717 A drop in price of $5,785.60 drive away.

    Problem logging service call via Tesla Android app

    Maybe, though I also found this thread that suggests it maybe the CV joint (sound is almost identical and interestingly same wheel.. left front wheel). Clicking sound while turning? I'll try calling the service on Monday as I can't log the service call through the app since the app is not...

    Problem logging service call via Tesla Android app

    I noticed the left front wheel has developed a clicking noise when turning right today. I tried logging a service call with Tesla using my Android Tesla App to get it looked at and I get an error when trying to submit the service request. Is anyone else getting this issue?

    Yep I see it in the app.

    When I click service on the app, it takes me through to a blank screen as well.

    I miss freedom

    I miss the road trips I used to make as well. Is the canola flowering this year? I can't see it from my 5km bubble. I had used up my initial 1500km supercharging and was just starting my second 1500km from referral when the pandemic hit. Now I watch as it gets close to expiry with no chance...

    Stopping and starting Home Wall Connector

    Yep you are correct, currently they settle every 30 minutes. The plan in 2021 is to move to 5 min settlements. I've added a % over factor into my test to allow for a bit more smoothing. The 15 min cycles also helps with this. You are right, the volatility of price is typically not high...

    Stopping and starting Home Wall Connector

    I realise after rereading my post I had not explained properly. I am actually controlling the charging from the car using api and not the power to the home charger on the wall. I buy electricity at the current market rate so this means at times it can fluctuate quite a bit. Practically, it is...

    Stopping and starting Home Wall Connector

    I am writing an app that controls the home wall charger (running at 32amp/7kw) based on electricity prices. If the price is low enough the charger will start. My concern is that if prices fluctuate up and down heavily, this can cause the app to stop and start the charger numerous times (I...

    Same. All sorted this morning. Car woke just by opening the app.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I just spoke to Tesla Service. They say the problem is actually with Telstra. The way the car wakes up is a kind of "SMS" is sent from the app to the car via LTE to wake it up (I suspect this is the Telstra IoT Network). They said Telstra have been doing some maintenance work over the past...

    Yes I am seeing the same behaviour.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Thanks for the insight. I was previously on 2020.24.6.9 with no issues. I might log a service request with Tesla and see if they have any thoughts.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I installed it yesterday. Now I can't wake the car up from the app. LTE connection is strong in the car so that's not the problem. I tried buttons/brake resetting the car and still no luck. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Model 3 suddenly decided my phone was no longer my key

    I occasionally get this problem. I have to disable and reenable the phone's bluetooth and then it all works normally again for me. Not sure if you tried that?

    Tesla is third most trusted brand in Australia

    That is interesting. I would definitely agree from a product perspective, my Tesla is amazing. From an after sales support perspective though, I'm not so convinced.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I tried wrapping my centre console recently and unlike all the pros in the Youtube videos... I failed! Once I finally got the bubbles out, I then had issues with the corners with the wrap lifting in the corners and not looking quite right. On the weekend I found Tessories.com.au and the...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    The main reason I haven't bothered buying FSD is because auto steer and adaptive cruise control are the main features I really wanted autopilot for and in most cases I find it amazing. I wish they would sell auto park and summon as a separate upgrade feature pack for people that aren't yet...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Or they could talk to Mazda. My wife's CX9 has adaptive high beam which is amazingly good. I turned off auto high beam after I'd annoyed a few people when the car would unexpectedly go to high beam. My personal theory was the software was tuned for LHD and so was not as sensitive to oncoming...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I logged a service call about being stuck on 2020.4.1. I was hoping to get access to DAB. They told me their had been an issue pushing the update to my car on the 11 March. The car was actually getting it's paint job repaired after being delivered to me before Christmas with some paint job...

    When are we getting charged for mobile?

    My understanding when I purchased my car at the end of last year was that we got 12 months subscription as part of the purchase and the cost would be ~$100/year after the first year.

    Disable Mobile Data when getting paint job fixed

    Yep, it is actually to get the paint issues resolved that were found during the delivery process at the end of last year.

    Disable Mobile Data when getting paint job fixed

    Is it normal practice for a paint shop to ask you to disable Mobile access on the car when they take the car for repair? I asked why they needed the mobile access disabled, they mentioned because they need to remove panels and therefore need to reprogram system. I went ahead and disabled but...
