    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Just installed 14.8. Is there a way to remove all the distracting visualisations and just leave me with USS. They seem much worse with version 14. There used to be a menu to remove FSD visualisations but I can't find it

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Agree. The wipers are still hit and miss. How does the front camera not recognise a sudden heavy downpour and need a manual nudge to get going

    Adding a Tesla Gen3 Wall Connector as a product in the Tesla App. Why is it

    I use ChargeHQ for scheduling and to ensure I maximize solar charging. The App already gives me some stats, comparing the cost of petrol to my energy supplier rates per kWh. Are their any other features I may be missing by not having the Connector in my Tesla product list?

    Adding a Tesla Gen3 Wall Connector as a product in the Tesla App. Why is it

    Reading App release notes, I only just saw that I can add our Tesla Gen3 Wall Connector as a product (like our Tesla car and PW2) in the Tesla App. Our Wall Connector, which we've had for over 2 years, is already connected to our wifi and shown in our Tesla Home PW2 tab in the Tesla App and...

    Euro crash tester says carmakers must return to physical controls - Impact on Australia?

    Unfortunately, I'm certain that Elon will refuse to retool for NCAP. Tesla owners and buyers will convince themselves that Elon knows what is best for them, and that a 4 star Tesla is safer than a 5 star NCAP car. Personally, I don't see why we have adjust to a system, that is inferior and less...

    Tesla Vision vs Parking Sensors

    Removing USS sensors was primarily a cost saving measure. (Check out Sandy Monroe's YouTube on the subject). Having just finished Walter Isaacson's autobiography on Elon, it's clear on his obsession with removing all parts and processes that aren't absolutely essential. Hence removing radar...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Tesla App on Android and iPad not connecting to car. Graphic of car just has a ghost image fading in and out. Lots of posts on social media. Could be phone/tablet model dependent.

    Model 3 Highland live now

    The emergency brake is the parking brake for use if the disc brakes fail eg a brake line gets fractured and there's no brake fluid.

    Model 3 Highland live now

    Where is the emergency brake now that the button on the end of the RH stalk is no more? Or do you stab blindly at the screen while you trying to avoid an oncoming vehicle.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    2023.26.7 Installed. No issues at present, but an anti climax as I thought this version was introducing "drive on sunshine" option for those with PWs and Tesla wall connector.

    Is Car Insurance "choice of repairer" essential for Oz Tesla owners?

    Can non-Tesla approved repairers in Australia mannage to source parts can their repairs void a Tesla warranty. I ask as our policy renewal as jumped over 20%, and "choice of repairer" limits the alternative options. How many here are insured without the repairer choice option?

    Insurance is getting out of hand

    Did your quotes include choice of repairer? My RACV quote has also gone up 25% this year to $1460 for SR+ (perfect record, pensioner, rural location). Currently looking around, but choice of repairer limits choice, and RACV policy includes new for old, full glass cover and unlimited period hire...

    "Autopilot limited due to poor visibility"

    This is a message I haven't had before. Both times early morning in sunshine. Is this the sun blinding the main forward facing camera?

    EV fact and fiction by NRMA

    Tesla app unable to wake car

    This may red herring but our Kia Niro EV, also with a Telstra Sim, which has an App which is also refusing to sync with the car since the 26th May. Several other Niro EV here have reported the same problem on FB. A Telstra problem?

    Upgrading our SR+ to LR 2021 or LR 2022( 82kwh).?

    As per title, we are contemplating changing our SR+ for a used 75kwh or 82kwh LR. Why? We are retired and doing more longer trips on the roads more scenic, and less travelled. The SR+ range at highway speeds and less favorable weather is testing our old age nerves. Moreover, we would appreciate...

    State based EV road user charge (Overturned 18/10/23)

    An article in the Financial Review yesterday supported the idea of the Commonwealth administering the tax and charging those EV tax avoiders. However, there's some real vitriol in this paragraph from the article: "All of this could be eased if the Commonwealth takes the lead and schedules the...

    Parking Assist chimes gone

    Have Parking Assist chimes disappeared from our Model 3 (2021 model)? Old age is fogging my memory, but there used to be a menu under Controls and Safety. When did it go? My wife just asked, and I only just realised they'd gone.

    100% with you on this one! Brush a white line and getting the screaming banshee wail when I forget to turn the darn thing off. It even screams at me on our dirt road when it thinks a tyre mark in the dirt is the centre line!

    Newbie autopilot question

    If you drive on narrow potholed roads like me, forget autosteer. It's much worse since we had radar turned off by Elon and rely on vision. I've had cars with much better autopilot than Tesla, it's the worse part of the car.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance keeps turning itself on. Am I right in assuming that this setting keeps turning itself on for every trip or is just if you use TACC? I never use full auto pilot, I like doing my own steering. We are fed up with the screaming banshee, high decibel, multi second...

    I do miss my Honda's dumb cruise control!

    Like the original poster I always use cruise control to speed in 50, 60 etc zones. No problems in our Golf with smart cruise control. With the latest software with vision only TACC, my foot is hovering over the accelerator pedal ready to deal with the more and more common phantom braking. Much...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I disagree that lane departure should be on when not in cruise control (TACC) or autopilot. I never use steering assistance. Don't do enough highway miles, mostly country roads and around towns and villages. I don't want blaring beeps and red warnings when I just adjust the car's line for...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    It's a big step backwards. I'm on 2022.24.8 and get the same when I'm not even on cruise control. I drive mostly on country roads and neither I or my wife need red warning messages and loud beeps when taking corrective action and even tugging steering wheel when I move or swerve to avoid a...

    This autopilot thing is getting beyond a joke

    Like many here we have given up on handing over any steering control to our Model 3. Many European testers have criticised Tesla‘s self driving modes.

    Has Gen 3 Charger become smarter?

    Yes, it may have been a misunderstanding. I have looked at ChargeHQ previously and may consider it in the future, although we often make a manual decision on whether to charge the car, or alter its charting rate, or charge the PW2 depending our driving plans for next days, current solar...
