I figure it’s autocorrect or something on his device that’s continually butchering “Exeter”

Underrated feature. Especially if you've got the dog in the car.

The poms call these "curry hooks"

Mostly highway/freeway probably no. Urban yes

@Adz1 is there a particular speed at which it occurs? Or is it any time the car is moving?

Do other occupants hear it? I couldn't hear anything unusual in the video.

This one is the simplest I've found. Very stable. https://www.amazon.com.au/Topfit-Monitor-Sunglasses-Safety-Accessories/dp/B0BNPCPB2S

Much of a muchness either way with the LFP. If it were an NMC, yes it would be best to schedule it to reach 100% shortly before departure.

An 82kwh LFP battery would weigh a bomb wouldn’t it? We don’t really see many cars running LFP batteries of that capacity due to weight and size constraints. What’s the source of this story?

This one has me curious - it's not a complaint I've seen before! Was the issue that the random plate resembled an offensive/swear word? Or was it a superstition thing around a certain combination of numbers and letters? I think NSW RMS has some sort of system to detect sequences on number...

No issue at all. In fact with the RWD that's actually good. Charging to 100% once or twice a week allows the car to better track the voltage in an LFP battery.

Honestly, there's no substitute for keeping a proper lookout when reversing. The side mirrors are good. And the reversing camera is excellent. Large, clear and wide-angled, and most importantly, it pops up almost instantaneously. The reverse camera in my VW could take 6-7 seconds to display...

Could have been. All utes look the bloody same to me. It was white with Tesla livery

I was approaching the Canberra maccas Superchargers a few months ago, enroute back to Sydney from Jindabyne. All looking good about 15 minutes out, the car was showing I think 3 stalls free at Canberra. Then about 5 mins out, it suddenly said all chargers offline! I turned up at the chargers...

Same story today - Tesla app showing it as down, but Plugshare users are reporting it to be ok. Someone charged OK about 2 hours ago, and reports that another car was there too. Maybe some sort of a comms issue?

Tried a reboot?

I would get it done before that. When 3G gets switched off, there will be a whole bunch of people suddenly wanting it done at the same time. It will be like the passport offfice after COVID. Everyone who didn’t renew their passport during COVID suddenly needed one and the queues blew out to...

It wasn’t the carmaker that shut down the 3G network though.

Some hints that VW might be next to walk https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/after-tesla-polestar-quits-australia-auto-lobby-emissions-fight-escalates-2024-03-08/ "VW said it was concerned about the exit of both companies and was discussing the situation, the spokesperson...

I haven't been there since August. Anyone been through Jindy lately?

Any updated news on the Jindabyne superchargers?

Agree with that. Put it through as a roadside issue. Looks like it’s being treated as a spare parts order.

PS3 is still only 2 rows of seating though. Max 5 seater, whereas the X is max 7.

Just a point of clarity - unlike many legacy cars, the stalks in previous Model 3's weren't "mechanical" in the same way as an ICE. They are just a long rod for actuating a microswitch. Even the gear selector is just a microswitch.

Every car I’ve owned for the last 20 years has had blinkers on the left. Motorcycles too for that matter.

How are stackers even a thing in Australia?

Ok. The email refers to the Trip Planner in the app. Does that work with a non Tesla? Ie: plan out the charging stops then send the whole lot to the car‘s nav?

They dont set the rates for non Tesla chargers

Portable sled. They have deployed it before.

Build it and they will come.

I'm in favour of big sites with lots of stalls. That's where things are headed. Globally. Anything less than 4 stalls doesn't cut it these days. Even more so if they are using Tritium gear.

15 cars waiting for a two stall tritium site, one stall broken, and a family of spiders living in the Chademo holsters of both.

+1 They've been smashing it the last few months.

Exactly. Perfect is the enemy of good

What a glorious sight. it’s going to cop a pounding on Boxing Day! People will always find something to complain about! Good grief this was desperately needed to go live before the Xmas rush and has been deployed remarkably quickly. Any variations that may have introduced a delay would...

I suspect that is how the calibration mechanism finds its "zero set point".

Yep. Simply typing "driver side headlight lower than passenger" into Google shows the same phenomenon in many modern cars fitted with self levelling headlights. Lexus, BMW, Benz, take your pick. It's normal. Left Driver Headlight is higher than Passenger side??? BIMMERPOST.com BMW Forum, BMW...

https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/tesla-model-3-performance-locked-in-for-early-2024-debut-143503/ Sounds like it's going to be a banger.

Yep I've definitely experienced that one. This buffeting can pretty much be reproduced in any car at the right speed with one window open. Agreed. First I've heard of it. Only thing I can think of is maybe the AC is on bio protection mode (or whatever it's called). This creates a slightly...

I didn't know this was a thing. The linked page is a bit hard to follow, other than one guy saying he gets the problem and his wife doesn't, in the same car, at the same time. Can you describe the issue a bit more, and also have you run it past your GP? If it was something unusual about the...

Thats pretty close, especially for an LFP car where there’s more guesswork involved in measuring the SOC at the start of charging which was estimated at 24% but in reality +/- 5% It would have been 98% at the targeted time. That’s pretty good. Not seeing a problem here. There’s estimation...

If you own the home, install a wall charger. Basically do it once and do it right If renting however, the portable charger might be a better option since you can take it with you to the next house.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys as they say.

3 factors I think: 1) Maintenance arrangements, and availability of trained technicians 2) Manufacturer's supply of spare parts 3) How failure prone are the units Tritium does poorly on 2 and 3. Most of us are aware of tritium chargers that have at times been offline for months awaiting...

Here's what to do: 1) Add your phone as a key 2) Open App 3) Scroll down to Security and Drivers 4) Move "Phone Key" slider to the left

Pretty good price for an install that involves trenching

RHD examples now exist so it would be good to get them in the showrooms ASAP. https://thedriven.io/2023/09/11/tesla-unveils-upgraded-model-3-in-first-right-hand-drive-market/
