[Edit] The Home screen displays the wall charger regardless of generation, so unclear why you need to add it manually. It appears that you can't give battery charging priority. By default, the Gateway (or app?) seems to give excess solar (what the house doesn't need) to charge the car, then the...

A slight change to EcoCloudIT's advice (and thanks) if you have a Powerwall: Have the latest Tesla app on phone (my iPhone has 4.30.5). Logout and log back in. New feature will now be there. The app will subsequently pair the phone to your Powerwall (this is the only deviation - it was...

I'm finding that happen to me more often these last couple of months than previously. Don't know if it's due to a recent iPhone or Tesla update. Regardless, I can resolve it each time by toggling Bluetooth off-on the phone.

I believe that's because 2024.2.2 may have been withdrawn. My M3 recently installed 2024.2.2.1

But before you try a full connection delete, try just turning bluetooth off on the phone then back on again. I wasn't clear whether you'd tried that. I'm finding I need to do that regularly with my M3 since the last update (44.30.8)

Thanks for the post, and I agree with Vostock - he needed to expand on LFP a little more, and perhaps even comment on the next-gen LFP as an example of battery chemistry improving each year or so. The point being it's still relatively early days for the tech and it's getting better. That said...

I'm on 44.30.8 also, and have to agree. I was caught in yesterday's incredibly heavy rain in Canberra, and I kept having to manually trigger the wipers to wake them up. They'd operate, then after a short varying length of time they'd decide that was enough so I'd have to trigger them again. I...

No new lock sounds, no "360" camera, and no speed camera indicators on the map. I'm not sure if there's a lot left in this Holday update worth waiting on for Australians...

Only seen it happen once in the last month, but I feel it's not long enough to say conclusively either way. I do know that Tesla Vision doesn't like bugs on the windscreen and sometimes must think they're water droplets...

Interesting views from Jules above and I Have to comment - phantom braking is not always a "slow down". I've had my M3 full-on brake a number of times because Tesla Vision has seen something while on the highway, and if I'd had a car behind me at the time it'd have gone up my clacka at that...

Thanks for replying. I note that the mid-refresh MY (the minor refresh before Juniper) is still only being made available for China and there's no word yet for when we'd see it. It'd be interesting to see if the sensors are removed in that.

Hi team. Sorry if this has been asked before, but do the Oz MYs still come with ultrasonic sensors (and enabled)? It's now been confirmed that the new M3 "highland" no longer does, but I'm wondering if the same has already occurred with the mid-refresh MY to come from Shanghai.

All points above are valid, but the best solution comes down to money. The UMC is the most versatile, but plugged into a standard home cuircuit would take the most of a day to charge the car after a trip. This is where the WC on a dedicated circuit proves of benefit. So, if money isn't a major...

I've just received my comprehensive renewal quote from NRMA - up another 25% for my 2020 M3 LR. GIO quoted almost 50% less than NRMA, with Allianz slightly more expensive (but still much cheaper than NRMA). By moving to GIO I've kept $1,200 in my pocket. That's significant.

In that photo, the Southern Cross Club is on the corner immediately to your right. So, you go through the green entrance and take the ramp down on the left after entering. Once at the bottom of the down ramp, the SCs are to the right - you should see them straight away. Easy Peasy

I'm confident that others with better knowledge will advise, but the issue is not whether they're allowed to repair the M3, it's whether they can order any parts required from Tesla. My understanding is that Tesla will only supply Tesla-approved partners. That said, my approved repairer has been...

Given that CATL has just started producing their new M3P phosphate-based battery which offers greater density, I'd be curious to see if Tesla start using those batteries in the MY and M3 LR and P within the next 12 months, in lieu of the NCA batteries.

Do you have a home battery? If so, I believe that the start/stop is due to the battery being given priority to charge. You can force priority back to charging your car by selecting "Charge now" and specifying the amps you want to direct so you can balance between battery and car manually. That...

Just coming back to this thread. Since the release immediately prior to 12.5, my wipers have become psycho (again), They'll start working on a perfectly fine day and won't stop - I have to de-activate manually. This has happened a few times now. Further (on 12.5), Iast night I drove return...

Interesting, and makes sense. Is there any way to know what batteries are in a Tesla? It'd be cool to get confirmation when the MYLRs start arriving in Oz.

Yeah, you roll the dice. When I bought my M3LR in 2020, 3 months later the price dropped $,000s and Tesla started shipping the M3 with auto tailgate, heat pump, black trim, etc. I wasn't happy...

Team, can someone remind me please - the MYLR is coming from Shanghai and uses NCA batteries (not LFP)?

I assume that's because Tesla manufacture commenced out of Shanghai (with LFP batteries) around then?

7kW is about right for a 32a feed. I'm not clear why it restricts the setting to 16a when idle in the app though. I'm able to select up to 32a on mine. Otherwise, noting that you're charging up to 100%, I assume you've a Chinese-built Tesla with LFA batteries (which is likely given your join...

I'd successfully used Emutoll many times over prior years, but the last time I travelled to Sydney (Dec '22), I had a lot of trouble setting up the correct date/time range via the Emutoll mobile site. I was hampered by time-outs, app errors, and incorrect date/times eventually being saved (and...

Auto park seems to be the main feature geting the Thumbs Up. I've turned it all back off myself. I don't want to get used to somethng I'm unlikely to buy. ;)

OK. Anyway, I have a 2020 M3LR - no heat pump.

Coincidentally, I felt that regen was non-existent through a couple of long drives taken yesterday. A/C was howling as the day was 34C, so I'm now wondering if regen efficiency can be affected by heat? Regen isn't reliable when the battery is charged into 90+%, and so I'm wondering if regen...

To be honest, team, I've been thinking this for a number of months with my M3LR too - regen braking is a lot more subtle than previously. Local govt installed aggressive speed bumps along the street I live on over a year ago, so every day I drive it's obvious too me should regen change. And, no...

I'm definitely in the #bringbackradar camp. Tesla Vision doesn't have an algorithm behind it which can be smart enough for all scenarios, so a radar input would at least provide a good fail-safe. I'm reminded of the fault which grounded the Boeing 737 Max for a couple of years - a poorly...

Team, I may have missed it, but does anyone have any recent advice on if, and when, a Model Y Long Range AWD will be released in Australia?

If there's anything which puts me off buying a Tesla again, it's this sort of thing. An adequate level of after-sales support is a reasonable expectation (especially at this price-point), but provision of parts and haphazzard commitment between Services Centres to date is quite poor IMHO. It's a...

I called mine TARDIS, because it's blue and seems bigger on the inside than the outside. 😄

Not a software issue - it's one of design. The quality of "blow" has been poor since Day 1 (Sept 2020), and consistantly poor through all subsequent software versions.

But the MY is coming from China and therefore will be LFP? If that's still the case, isn't the key matter how often you need to charge it to 100% (which I recall someone proposing weekly)? The LFP benefits from that, whereas it's not wise for NCA battery cars.

Yet Ryan Shaw on Youtube reported a finding that Tesla were considering re-introducing "advanced radar" for self-drive in the future.

I dropped in to sight the Sutton Forest installation on Saturday. While the chargers looked ready, the car park area surrounded by fencing looked some way off. Perhaps in a couple of weeks... It's a shame there's only two though. That location has always been popular for a rest stop, and I see...

Does anyone have an updated commissioning date for Sutton Forest? I messaged Evie last week to ask, but with no response.

To explain a little further why this particular site is a challenge: the superchargers are on the top of a SuperCentre building, with access via a concrete ramp at the rear. However, the ramp is a reasonably steep one, and at the top there's a raised metal plate like a speed bump, which I assume...

It'll come, but I'm not sure if I'd use the option. When regeneration is turned off you'll typically see a warning, and then you drive to compensate by giving yourself a longer run-down distance and use the brakes only if really needed. My concern with the option is that it'd apply the brakes...

Yeah, it's painful. My M3 used to scrape every time, but I've found that if I go wide (and risk being hit by someone coming around that blind corner) and go over at an angle, I can sometimes manage it. But your Model S is longer...

I don't believe so because the service centres seem to be dodging it. I had my car recently serviced, and only the ball joint issue appeared on the job list to be sorted. The ranger seemed to know little about the trunk cable recall. Interestingly, before he left I looked at the Tesla app and...

And on the subject of distraction from the road, does anyone else find the position of the blind spot display dangerous? When changing lanes, the window appears on the screen at bottom right - just behind where I'm holding the wheel on the left. I literally have to move my head to look around my...

I have to agree - that area at the tuckerbox is a mess. Road in/out is in serious need to proper repair, and the site where the ChargeFox and Tesla chargers are gets boggy after rain. What's worse, Olivers is an unexciting place to eat and their coffee is horrible. On a separate topic, I prefer...

I'm a little confused (and what's new there). Is the ePrimacy available in the M3 LR profile (235x40/R19)? The thread started talking about replacement tyres for the SR.

And I'll jump in to ask an associated question - are these mounting plates available as spares? The sad thing is that they're not a hard plastic, and I accidentally buggered the thread in one of the holes when I mounted my replacement plates (another story). Otherwise, Bennny, I've offer to...

I booked my M3 into the local service centre when the recall was first announced. It was immediately cancelled with the advice that the recall didn't (yet) apply to Aus/NZ, and that I'd be contacted when it did - yet my VIN is on the announced list. So far nothing from Tesla after many months. I...

Yeah, that's what I did after a few swipes, but it was already a mess. But it's an EV - I could just hang a bug zapper on the front? Hmm...

I was driving past Lake George (which actually has water in it!) heading back to Canberra at dusk recently. The bugs loved my headlights at that time, and my windscreen wipers thought the bugs hitting the screen was heavy rain and went crazy. It took some serious high-pressure hosing to remove...

Hi. I drove my M3 LR to Sydney from Canberra last Saturday to see a show. I left @ 95% and arrived at the Broadway supercharger @ 30%. I did approx the speed limit all the way. Recharged to 95%, watched show, and returned. Much the same on the return (within 5%).
