    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Amazing. Mine feels like it’s coming from lower back, but to be honest it could be anywhere in the seat and as it’s intermittent it’s hard to pin down. I am going to give this a look. Seat back seems to only be hooked on by a few straps at the bottom. I’ll report back.

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Had my clunky drivers seat looked at on Tuesday at Chatswood, couldn't solve the issue. Feels like something swinging around when coming to a stop or taking off from a stop. I can't find anything loose, and they reckon they pulled it out and tightened it all back up. Still happening...anyone...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    So, booked in for service today. Had the car 4 weeks, done 3,000km. Drivers seat is moving both forward and back and side to side about 1-3mm. Getting worse each and every drive. Lots of 3-4 year old threads about this issue but apparently it was solved with larger bore bolts. Apparently not...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Following on from my earlier comments around strange battery/range issues in Tessie, I’m wondering if anyone else here is using Tessie in their long range? If so, what km range is shown when you slide the slider to 100%? I still can’t make sense of the readings or figure out why they are so...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Anyone managed to update their UMC on 2024.2.7? I had no problem doing this in the old car after the first charge but nothing I try this time seems to work. A msg pops up bottom right of screen saying charge controller update in progress, but nothing seems to happen.

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Not sure if exact versions as sold the old one two weeks ago. However I swear the “typical” line in the consumption graph is now higher than the old car. Looks like it’s around the 152-153 mark. If this has indeed changed then it would perfectly align with the new “maximum” range...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Oh I agree, I’m not worried about the actual battery or range, more curious as to the massive discrepancy between two cars that have the same battery. My old LR (Jan 2022 model) showed 571km at 100%. This one shows 493km. As mentioned the actual range available in real life appears almost...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Inside the app it had both max range and “real world range”. My old car the max range was basically the battery capacity divided by the average consumption advertised. Eg. 78.5kWh battery divide by average consumption of 14kW/100mh About 560. This match the range shown on the centre screen...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Finally picked up my LR. Interestingly, the range estimate both on screen and in the Tessie app is significantly lower than my old car, and according to the Tessie average already showing 0.7% degradation. Tessie on my old car when set to 100% would show 571km. This car shows 493km...

    Total non issue. Simply plug the car in, set it at whatever percentage and leave it connected until its complete and then overnight. Car must be connected to wifi. It will update the charger and then it will be good for 10 amps and 15 amps.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    In my experience, 100% waterproof. I store the UMC in there permanently as I have a Wall Connector at home. I also have used it for all sorts of bits and bobs over the last 2 years. Duffel bags, groceries, kids soccer balls. Have not had 1 drop of water that I am aware of. I have a frunk liner...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    This is more true now that the UMC isn't included. When I got my LR we got it included, so I simply bought an adapter exactly as Dronus described. It is a 5 pin plug but only has 1 active. Charges at about 7kw. I bought it from EVSE I think from memory. However, now that you have to buy the...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Tinting advice for my current 3 was just to not wind them down unnecessarily for 48 hours. Ignore the small amount of movement when opening door. 2 years and no issues. I tinted side only. Rear you really don’t notice and it still isn’t all the same colour as the already tinted bit gets...

    Yew! Just got my email saying I have been assigned a car. It is apparently on the PAGANELLA. EDD is still showing 14 Feb to 21 March. Anyone here know when the PAGANELLA is due? White/black LR with 19”. Ordered 7 Sep at Chatswood.

    I just got an email with an order update that now includes the stamp duty in my invoice. Is this normal? Am I still going to get the stamp duty rebate for NSW? I’m confused.

    Practical kilometres in a M3 long range

    I’ve done almost 30,000km. Average total consumption is 167wh/km. I travel a lot of highway at cruise control in 120km/h. Ergo, 100% range is 467km.

    Practical kilometres in a M3 long range

    I have done ~10,000km in my 2022 LR. I drive 850km round trip every fortnight or so on a fairly typical Aussie trip. Trip has 450m elevation gain one way. Average speed on trip is 108km/h. Max speed is about 117km/h. Driver only, 1-2 bags. Air con, seat heating etc all on auto. Tires at...

    My view on this issue below: I have owned a variety of left blinker cars (AMG, AUDI x 2, LR Discovery x 3, VW, Tesla) and right blinker cars (Commodore, Subaru x 2, Hyundai x 3, Suzuki) and cannot understand the issue mentioned above. If you are incapable of remembering which side the...

    Yes I do. Should I not lock it and see if that changes anything? I have restarted the app, restarted the car, done everything else mentioned but still showing 8amps

    Ideal or Cost Effective Home Charging

    I have had mine plugged in each night and finish charging and left overnight. Still only showing me 8A as highest option. I’ve tried doing the happy dance. Fingers crossed tonight it decides to update itself!

    Autopilot/Lane Departure Warning

    This fixed the issue, but it would appear I have to now have the cruise control revert to the speed limit instead of my current speed. Seems weird to link these when they are not relevant to each other.. Anyway. Much happier now. Thank you VicOz!

    Autopilot/Lane Departure Warning

    Hi all, This morning I took my first longer trip in my new LR. Averaged 187Wh/km in pouring rain while driving 400m altitude over 388km which I think is not too bad. I have two potential issues I was hoping to get a group view on. 1. Autosteer speed limiting When not on a motorway I...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    To be clear, my post was not entirely directed to you, it was just your comment that it is “the first setting” one should change that prompted me to comment. You are certainly not the only poster I have seen that insists that the percentage view is somehow superior. I’m not trying to argue a...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    This concept confuses me greatly. My understanding is: All uses for the vehicle are calculated in km’s. I.e. We don’t refer to distance between two points as a percentage as it provides no set reference. Percentage of what size battery for example. It’s meaningless without other data. My...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Possibly. I wouldn’t even consider a RWD with a performance drop like the one they had. Videos coming out don’t paint a pretty picture. Coming from an S5 So I may be an outlier but going slower is not an option.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Was your order while the website was still showing a shorter delivery period? When I first considered ordering it was something like 6 weeks, but by the time i had test drive etc it was out to 8-12 weeks. Interesting if I missed some kind of cutoff in the 9 days between our orders..?

    Struggling between Model 3 RWD and AWD

    Really? Many videos on youtube would disagree. Some users on WP with multiple years ownership are averaging like 140-150wh/km after 20,000km.
