Yes it's a driving aid but the thing I don't get is why my Kia can do all the TACC things in traffic without freaking out like Tesla does. I've never had a phantom brake on the Kia and it's software hasn't been updated ever. Was hoping that Tesla's software would catch up over the past year...

You are in the Australian thread. Your link is for Washington state USA. WA=Western Australia

Everything you said sounds right. Maybe wait for another price drop? Or get the model 3? sedans are s3xy 😎

Try turning on Joe mode, although that makes all tones and beeps 50% softer

I'm the same with low trust level, it's the late braking of TACC and Phantom braking for me that make me wonder how Kia can get their variable cruise control so much better than a company focusing on this automation. I'll try it all of course in empty lots and empty freeways. Can't miss this...

Green light chime is great if you have kids that constantly distract you 🤣

The writer seems to be from the US? And the pricing reflects that too. I would love a model 3 for only $45k haha

A link to the speeds for each car as further evidence that resolve03 is correct https://www.tesla.com/en_AU/support/home-charging-installation/wall-connector#charging-speeds

Depends on your priorities. I'd say go for 3 phase if the cost of install is around the same. You could, however, get away with a 32A outlet and UMC/32A tail setup which could end up cheaper and still give you a 7kw charge rate Cost, charge speed, future proofing, wall connector look vs UMC...

Lol agreed. And for that other reponse implying I was a Tesla hater, that's hilarious. Love my car, just overtook 6 cars and a bus this morning in an instant and no way my CX5 could have handled that. Will be a while before Tesla is caught up to in our market. Just didn't sit well with me...

Not only that, if their cars continue to have more software glitches than the other brands like they do now, they will suffer even more

Hopefully 3 weeks is accurate. I saw a polestar the other day and it looked great, less sporty but stylish

Cheers. The instructions weren't for 2022 models but similar enough. Not all of it is needed either, just the plug under the rear seat not the 12v. Booted itself after 5 minutes, sounded like it was gonna explode, but cameras are back lol

I've tried these fixes multiple times with no luck. The final thing to try is a factory reset but I'm hesitant... I'm so tempted to try unplugging the 12v to see if that does anything I raised a service with Tesla as this affects my safety, will see what they say

New one for me today, cameras worked ok in the morning. I parked for 5 mins and came back to blank cameras. Not liking the latest update. Soft reset and power off didn't fix it

I called 2 days before delivery day to get the rego as I needed it to get insurance sorted. YMMV

Didn't know that, interesting

Nope, that's not on 2022.20.8 for us yet

On 2022.20.8 for a week now and noticed phantom braking when driving next to a dual direction bike lane (raised and off the road) with cyclists on it riding opposite to my direction. My sample data isn't extensive but it hasn't happened before where I felt like a car behind would rear end me -...

or this one ;) ...honestly there are so many minor things you could check for and could spend days. Quality of the builds have improved in the past 12 months so check the major things at delivery and the rest afterwards

I wish my work laptop allowed any of this but everything is pretty much locked down. It would be nice to just plug directly into the data port and away I go Thanks though, will be a great side project with my old personal laptop

Imagine if we could connect the Tesla screen as a second monitor... I'd be working from car a lot, parked in a new location everyday

I just thought that in all this time to plan, the companies going for the contract would use some data to work out the more likely routes to attract EVs rather than a blanket 2 two stalls per location. Maybe they did and the government didn't want to pay. I'm glad it's moving along though

Interesting how they are only doing 2 stalls per location

I did this by getting online quotes with the discount incorporated, most were valid for a month. I then chose the best one a day before I picked up the car. Depends on the type of discount I guess. There was one with an "online" only discount and another with a % discount. Date didn't matter...

The tesla app allows one to reduce the amps drawn by the UMC. Could this possibly be the workaround if they are limiting the whole house in that fashion? So limited wow, you'd have to charge Tesla at night only and possibly still limit the output through the app too. Living on the edge everyday...

Maybe this is just a Perth thing but mine was a digital signature for rego. Signed the form on the phone. Weird how it's not consistent

Good point, will have to test this somehow

gotcha... for the looks. I've got tint on all my windows and it doesn't look jarring to me having the rear bottom-half window as near-naked glass but each to their own. I'm more concerned about how small that area looks in the rear-view mirror so would want the maximum visibility out of it

i was recommended not to tint the roof as it's a waste of money and you'd also want some sun to come through during winter months. The glass is already tinted to the equivalent of the darkest legal tint. is the reason for privacy, UV or heat? Maybe better off getting a sunshade instead for...

chime is a great feature i reckon, but only if you're first in line at the lights. found it flaky when 3-4 cars back.

im on 2022.20.7 and it reads speed physical speed signs on the freeways in Perth but not digital overhead ones

All facts, but it looks sooo good 🤣

Looks niiiice. That's officially on my list now. I was worried about the ryzen install differences but doesn't sound too bad

Well you have to push a button but yeah it closes by itself after that. Does that mean you can add something else to your list now instead? haha

Hold on to that optimism as long as possible what's auto trunk? isn't it already auto open? unless you can't be bothered pressing the button to close it 😁

Haha cheers. Yeah I don't really care about showing the plate really as I've changed it over. Just wanted to muck around with the tracking feature in the editor. It gives me an excuse to try the YouTube blurring feature on that part for fun though 😀

so I finally put together the video, hope you like it. Wasn't in the showroom long enough to show any useful footage there so it's mostly the car quality checks...and yes there are multiple tesla-farts featured :cool: enjoy

I agree, no doubt mathematically it's indifferent but I thought it was more about the "Tesla experience" or "psychological" as you describe. I mean most people buying a Tesla wouldn't or shouldn't even blink at an extra $550/$800 But I reckon it's like when I bought my first smart phone, it...

Just curious, why do you stow the UMC? I have a type 2 to type 2 for emergency charges but surely it would be rare to use the UMC on the road unless it was a road trip?

this sucks for new buyers, if anyone drives less than 100km a day then the UMC does a great job

can you please direct all pen testing to tesla servers to get all the VINs? 🤣

Yup can confirm - the EV rebate form asks for the dutiable amount which includes delivery and order fee. That really sucks, I wonder if changing interior to black would affect delivery date, it still looks amazing

and order number plate "Ra00Vin" too? :D

Yup it does, I use it all the time :)

It didn't do either for me. 😂 100 to 80: stayed at 100 80 to 100: p!ssed off a truck driver @ 80 Both times the speed sign was successfully picked up on the screen

it extremely fun, can't help but accelerate past everyone and grin. I think if i had any more power/torque then it would be way too much for me and my city driving. my efficiency isn't great at the moment :D not many blue ones around so I get a lot of heads turning which I've never had before...

Just picked up my car, only drove it 15 mins as I had to get back to work. It's still in calibration mode and I couldn't test out autopilot yet What I can confirm is: RWD comes with Michelin Pilot Sports Tyres 10A/15A Charging cable/tails are provided Panel gaps are all uniform, looks like the...

Mine was also a new arrival - build date early-March
