For anyone interested in Powerwall 3, it's finally confirmed by Tesla that they are using LFP cells, along with a bit more information, although still oriented for the US market. https://electrek.co/2024/04/11/tesla-details-powerwall-3-cheaper-stack/

I think it is an out of date statistic now. Poster did say "traditional life cycle rating".

I cannot get my Model Y to get a software update via an Apple iphone 7 hotspot. Tried this a few times and just get an error. Have gigs and gigs of data on phone plan so it is very annoying. If there is a trick to it I'd love to know? Since I don't have wifi in the garage that would have been...

Yes I know that but I think that when you are finishing a charging cycle and have all the prerequisites in place (coreect car software, charging finished, unplug replug, blah blah and all that process) you still won't get the UMC updated unless at that time your car is connected to wifi. Which...

Thanks Chuq for the update. Hopefully if they get these approvals they wll be interested in selling the new Powerwall 3 here more quickly than would otherwise be the case. The Tesla Energy offerings here seem to me like an afterthought to date, with no local dedicated staff or expertise and all...

In my experience your car has to be connected to wifi at the time you try to get the UMC updated. I don't have wifi in the garage so had to run a long cat6 cable out of the house and put a wifi router there to make this happen. It stubbornly refused to update the UMC settings without wifi handy...

That sounds quite extraordinary, I hope it's great for you. If you keep it low mileage it could be a real museum quality rarity in another decade. However you will probably get more useful advice if you post in another thread as this one is focused on Australia, and while there are some Model S...

Well I applaud Tesla and Polestar for making a stand. It's so rare that the entrenched lobby groups which get preferential access to government are held to account publicly. I certainly hope some others join them and form a new body, although the thin local representation of particularly Tesla...

Thank you Quickst. Always good to learn something new.

Pedants 1, Leconte zero. 😉 In my blissful ignorance I guess I thought it output DC into the external inverter just like the solar panels do and it got "inverted" to AC there. I wouldn't have thought about the battery unit internals. But in practical terms it (PW3) does remove the need for a...

I haven't seen anything on the early reported US installations that mean it is natively 3 phase compatible / useful for an Australian 3 phase setup any more than Pw2. But I don't really know what that would require. The most useful relevant information is in the TMC thread (link below) starting...

In the US it is selling for the same price as PW2. And yes it includes an inverter, can have 6 separate solar panel input strings (better than most inverters), can back up 48A of your home which would be enough for ours in a grid outage. You do still need the separate Tesla Gateway to achieve...

I just now got an email from Tesla Australia announcing "Charge your Tesla with Excess Solat" so it's official. I guess every car owner will get this.

In Victoria the Govt just dropped the minimum FIT from 4.9 to 3.3 cents per kWh. Ouch. And the ranges for ToU as well. Reported in the Age today. https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/solar-tariffs-slashed-as-victoria-awash-with-rooftop-energy-20240228-p5f8e3.html While it's been poor...

Any thoughts (guesses) on how long before PW3 gets here? Like 3 months or 18? I was just about to press GO on a full solar+PW2 system (8kw Fronius, 11kw 440W panels, PW2 + Gateway) which is coming in at 28k out-of-pocket (premium installer quote). Seems like it I waited for PW3 then I would...

I am Still on 2023.x and last week wish I'd had this update then. Heading home from Port Melbourne to Greensborough the plan was on westage fwy at Montague St, over Bolte Bridge and home in about 45 mins. Instead, not being used to these roads at all, I got in the wrong left turning lane at...

I have got the same car and wheels and had two minor (sadly self inflicted) scuffs. From another post here (search for word "Evoke") I have a can of Dupli-Colour touch up spray code DSH95 - name of colour is "Evoke" - and it is pretty much a perfect match, at least for small rim touch up. It was...

Depends on whether the car you dragged off is an unmarked police car or not....😉 Straight answer: it's probably subjective but I suspect magistrates would back up police if it comes to that. I have floored my MYLR quite a few times to break free of traffic (or sometimes just cos it can) but...

WooHoo! Might have to get along and check out that Red! Is it as good as Mazda Red? That's the benchmark. if it is then gonna be tempted to add one to our YLR sometime in 24. Our petrol and diesel second and third cars are on their last legs. will they have all colours at all sites tho? Is this...

The tax (Excise) has beenruled invalid today. So Vic can no longer levy it (nor any state) and presumably will have to reimburse any payments already made. watch this space! Of course in time the Federal Govt will introduce one to protect the revenue base.

What happened to HW4? It’s all everyone’s been talking about for a year or so. Seems it’s as far off as ever if it’s not in this release. Wouldn’t expect to see another hw upgrade for 18-24 months after this as it has to settle in. I’d love to see a photo of the three red cars next to each...

Forget my post. Just plugged in again and to my surprise it is now allowing up to 16A on the 15A tail. Must have done it in the most recent charge.

On another seat belt matter, when supermarket shopping if I just get a few things in one bag and put it on the passenger seat for convenience, the car complains I haven't done up the seat belt. Very annoying for a few kilos of groceries.

I have been on 2023.26.7 for two weeks and charged the car twice, but the UMC update doesn't seem to be happening. I am judging this from the iOS Tesla app on my phone which will not go higher than 12A. I double checked the tail and it's definitely 15A. Is there some trick to this? I usually...

Thanks Nobody, I will get a can. ( that sounds weird, are you sure you're not somebody famous, but incognito? hmmm ;) )

Would this be the right one for the 20" inductions too? i.e. it's my impression that the 21" and 20" turbine style wheels are the same colour, true or false? thanks leconte

Thanks for this Jon! I have been puzzling over this since having the car (6 weeks) and tried the recommended process several times also. My wifi doesn't reach the garage so I wondered if the UMC update would come from the premium connection or not, same with the latest upgrade (20.9). The 20.9...

Hi Jon, I have followed your posts with interest and sympathy, and admire how you support others with information and observations. I cannot answer your point about disparity accurately and yes it seems chaotic at times. My suspicion is that within Tesla, each state has a bunch of people trying...

One thing with NAB that isn't obvious is that with a joint account (or a company account with multiple signatories) you can both do $40K each on one day, so $80K is possible i.e. the limit is per authorised user not actual bank account. At least that's what they told us, although we paid early...

I sympathise with you, but really the delays are not Tesla's fault, certainly not those hitting us in 2023. They are not deliberately going slow on deliveries, they surely want them out on the roads as soon as they can. We are all victims of inadequate infrastructure and a combination of...

We had the opposite experience in Melbourne Mulgrave. Definitely take as long as you want, ask any question. Only issue was grabbing someone away from other customers to get the questions answered, had to wait just a few minutes at one point but it would have been rude of them to split off from...

I don't think they are rejects, you seem to be saying they are a lemon. Almost all would be people changing their minds, mortgage pressure, one or two folk ordering two and taking first one to arrive and cancelling the other. If you have a problem with a car at pick up then Tesla try to fix the...

I am with Shannons too. Have two other cars and home insurance with them. Was about $1460 with $900 excess, I asked some "what ifs" and went down to $1260 with $1200 excess. Took that. Covered full on road purchase cost in Vic of MY-LR with 20" wheels ($90,600). Happy with Cost. Am older with...

Yes, picked up new MY-LR on Saturday and when I got home it prompted me to do the update. Which I did. It had already downloaded it at Mulgrave DC. Interestingly, car was charged to 100% when we picked it up, which you are not supposed to do on the LR routinely unless going on a trip. Its down...

Mate, I ordered June 13 last year and picking up car tomorrow. Gotta be patient! At times yes it's stressful and excruciating, so you need to get very zen about it all.

There's only a handful on the roads so far in Australia so probably too early to tell. Been a dribble of deliveries out of Melb and it seems a few elsewhere. At least according to posts here. Maybe ask on the facebook model Y Australia forum. Facebook Model Y Australia group you need to join...

None for Oz have had it installed I believe (actually not sure for performance but think not) and the approx $250 one in the shop has quite limited funtionality compared to the US ones. There's lots of posts about it, search Aussie forums for boombox.

Well yes it will be. Grand Eagle docked here on 18/5 and that is when my RAV database entry got created. 17th June delivery is four weeks and a few days. But some lucky others only had to wait between ten and twenty days, but only a very few it seems. From other reports it seems the Melb port...

I've just got an LR actual delivery date of 17th June ex Mulgrave in Melbourne. Seems like a two to three week delay between the very first YLR deliveries here in Melbourne (already picked up) and a bunch of texts going out now for around the 17th. Have not seen posts for deliveries in between...

Same here, booked my YLR for 17th June as the earliest option ex-Mulgrave. Glad we don't have to go to Port Melb depot. That will be 1 year and four days since I ordered, although to be fair I ordered MYP first and swapped to LR in April this year. Could have had the MYP late April but it was...

Earliest I have seen is someone here quite a few posts ago who has a pickup dare of tomorrow 29th May. Must be the aussie first LR or close to it. Ex-Melbourne.

I just got a UMC delivered from Melbourne warehouse and it came with 10A & 15A connectors. Was a freeby bought with a voucher (June last year order date) ordered about three weeks ago but that should not affect what heads you get. Maybe they just have stock of both and its pot luck what you get.

Congratulations Kildeal! You will be among the very first LR deliveries in Oz. I was hoping for the same but my EDD just slipped out to June 02 - 16. I think for me now it's just pot luck as to the order of how the cars come off the ship (was also Grand Eagle Melbourne) and get to the delivery...

Well you need an internet browser that supports looking at the html source code. On Windows I think Firefox has that, and on my ipad I have an excellent browser app, a german one called icabmobile which has a lot of spiffy functions including a "source code" function to show the html source and...

Yes my payments turned up in the source code before I saw it in the account page. You search for "rawAmount" and hopefully recognise firstly the order deposit and then payments you make. Mine took one working day to get across from a 'big 4' bank. However the "Payment Details" I later saw were...

It is 23/4.

Just got my "delivery approaching" message today (Melbourne). Just a few days to go now! Also got my free mobile connector in the mail yesterday (original order 13 June and still got a voucher even though I swapped from MYP to MYLR). The clouds are lifting.

Thanks Zombie! I didn't know that.

Hi all, just noticed on my Vicroads registration form that Tesla have put me down for a "standard" number plate on my MY-LR. I didn't think about this when ordering, but I want a slimline plate. Cannot see an option now that I have a VIN. Did others choose slimline plates when ordering? I just...

I have got May 22 - Jun 12. And all the paperwork to do.
