I don't have OBD scanner But I scheduled departure yesterday morning Pre schedule departure battery 18C Ambient 14C as measured by car in garage Post schedule departure battery temp 19C but that was after adding 10 kwh to the battery using 7A 3 phase (5kW). Ambient temp at end of charge as...

They do that even with ICE cars

People are now complaining about the horsepower difference between the Fremont and Shanghai models. Someone then said "Don't worry, Tesla will release an Acceleration boost - for a small fee" 🤣

Why can't you do one press. Press brake , do the PIN number, do the right stalk for gear, release brake. It just a matter of muscle memory.

I'm not convinced about the utility of definable regen. One pedal takes car of all that. People complain of gear shift slider but they want a regen slider?. So one slider no good but another slider good?. I can see situations where a regen is user adjusted down but in an emergency max...

I'm speculating it's just Plugshare trying to populate their maps with as much info as possible, including speculative info. The more "plugs" the better for their business model and Accuracy be damned I suspect.

I don't believe that entity exists as an organisation in Ev related social media - in so far as I can't find them. So 2 possibilities: they work in the Local council and have inside knowledge and are hiding their true identity or, They are just speculating with the location and put the Apollo...

Used to do a lot of those but my local council has a $65 fee for extra kerbside collection. So tip visits no longer. Would be interesting to go to Taree with a box trailer to investigate the end charger bay.

How are Tesla Gen 3 monetised and who is responsible for the maintenance? (I know there are other AC EVSE). ChargeFox or Exploren? The DCFC would be owned, operated and maintained by AmpCharge.

Rego is cheap cheap for single unbraked 750kg ATm. But I get what you are saying . I used to get my own animal feed but these days it's delivered. I use mine about once a year sometimes more when the delivery truck can't get through to shed due rain softening the ground.

To get to a shopping centre to do their weekly shop is also another scenario. For those customers a 75kW would give them a 50-100% in 30min or less. A quick in and out is never what shopping centres want - they want longer dwell time - hence the free 3hr parking at most. A mix of DCFC speeds...

The poverty pack MYLR onroad of circa $75500 is about $13.5k cheaper than my poverty pack MYLR bought June 2023🤣

Yes, from the point of view it further negates the fire risk myth. However, a charge session using Ampcharge @75kW let alone 150kW would still be too fast for the average normal shopper. Looking at our own shopping habits, a 25kW DCFC would be better IMO. For a M3RWD that would be near 50% SOC...

Rocketman needs to match production to demand. And for those who think its a luxury car, no, Tesla M3/Y are volume cars. I wonder though if Rocketman has directed the factory to take further costs out -AKA cheaper fittings , cheaper quality? - at least for the cars not yet in production.

Yes not everyone tows a 3T caravan. Lots of things can be done with a single axle 7x5 trailer

When the Rocketman says Full self driving - he actually means "self " = "driver"🤣.

Agree, the chime on green light does not distinguish between a green turn arrow and a straight ahead round green light. There are often two sets of traffic lights. One for straight ahead lane (middle lane) and one separate set on left side which also has an additional left turn light. The chime...

Don't forget they also drive on the wrong side of the road. Does anyone know the difference in road widths between US and AU

seems like an issue noticed by a reddit user

The Jolt in Beecroft (sydney) is almost ICE proof. Red box = Jolt Box Green box = No parking EV charging only bay Purple mark = charging plug location Yellow Circle = Unofficial unmarked parking option if Green box is ICED - reverse in against the Jolt,cable is long enough. Any car in the...

It rains👍. I have not washed the MY in 10months apart from getting rid of the occasional bird bomb

@Goneincognito someone already posted a suggestion to report this issue to the regulatory body. ICE cars have an inspection component to their service schedules. One one the checks is inspection of vehicle and tightening of chassis bolts etc. Tesla lacks any aftersales vehicle inspection...

I would think most S/X owners have adapters these days as RTerrace is not the only SC with one type of charge plug. But what's this got to do with transparency of SC site ?

And Another Facebook report of a control arm bolt completely off today

Just goes to show the value in the offering by EV manufacturers.

A new Suzuki Jimny for the same price will do the same job and also be road legal. Yes they (ICE) have a cult following in the US which probably explains their USD 30,000 price tag

The problem there is you will need to account for the cost per kWh for each charge. Too much work. Just let the leasing company know that ATso uses cents per km method.

Is there new concrete kerbing on that side ?

Yes: 📸 : drivedotcomdotau I'm am intrigued by the end supercharging bay at Taree though. I can't see how it would facilitate trailer charging. I wonder why there is more space between it and the next one

I Correct. Not a lot of vehicle compared to the current crop of road legal EV

I Reminds me of ScoMo's election comment - can't tow your trailer and will ruin your weekend (From 1:20)🤣

there might have been site related issues at the original sites and for obvious reasons, commercial negotiations are never conducted in public.

Polaris now offering an electric ATV But from $45K??😳

Would be just easier for lease company to just log the EOFY odometer.

The ad screen is not on the same side as the charging plugs. I don't believe advertising is aimed at EV drivers as I have never seen a Jolt ad screen The main problem with Jolt is the free component. They have tried to mitigate this by allowing the paid subscribers to reserve a Jolting session...

I suspect Moved to raymond Terrace from the proposed Guzman and Gomez at Heatherbrae

You can easily just use the ATO home charging rate of 4.2 cents per km method. So easy no need to keep receipts etc etc, If you use this you can't also claim for other charging away from home because the cents per km method captures all km driven.Just use odometer at EOFY

Yes, there have been various recalls (that can't be fixed with a software update) over similar in the US. IMO a safety issue

It should not happen

@AusMar See here: It's not on drivers side so it's not a problem in terms of drivability, safety.

Facebook report Control arm bolt loose Model Y Australia.

And putting in 7kWh at approx 20c/kWh offpeak for me is still better than potentially driving 3km out of my usual route, waiting 20min , then charging for 20min to get free 7kWh. But there are times where it makes sense..

I already know how it works. Your video is showing the perspective of the Tesla driver. I am asking about the perspective of the drivers in the oncoming traffic - what does it look like to them.

Can be seen by going into Service mode > Thermal Service mode does not interrupt supercharging

I wonder though... From the perspective of the Tesla driver, the matrixed area darkens for on incoming cars. However, from the perspective of the oncoming vehicles, I wonder if they are seeing light spillover from the adjacent lit matrix led in other words, the light seen by the oncoming...

I think Tesla needs to iterate away from just 0-100 or straight line speed. There are other factors that define a real performance car.

Great, I had been skeptical as the headlights are so "squinty"👍

I've been please with the wipers lately. Have had 2 drives in rain and the wipers worked admirably. No intervention required.

Re the headlights, How is the overall light intensity on an unlit highway

I wonder how Joe Mode would affect it acoustically
