Think about it like this. They took our money illegally and want us to agree not to sue them if they are kind enough to give us our own money back. How about they just give our money back with a nice note to say they are sorry. We are all lucky enough to get our money back because a few...

I finally received my refund entitlement letter today, just as the AFR posted an article about the governments chutzpuh in demanding an indemnity. If anyone is planning on refusing to sign the indemnity - I would be happy to join in the fight...

As the cameras are on the windscreen Tesla need to calibrate the camera on the new windscreen. As someone who has had three windscreens replaced, O'Briens always say they can't fix it, and then Tesla does it. It just takes a few extra days to go through that process. ymmv.

Yes, legacy S. Has one profile set to no-regen. Despite setting my (separate) profile to maximum regen, the regen is basically non-existent. Completely unrelated scenario:- My Model Y had a flat tyre. The roadside assist installed a different size model 3 tyre (yes, separate issue, but...

Interesting video. Looks like driving below 0km was a pretty good idea for the first 55km

Yes. Easy install. Works.

Installed the Teslogic setup. Happy enough with it - use it mainly on long drives. Self installation was perhaps a 30 minute job, and I am not very good at these things!

Received the app update (android). It took a minute to find the menu (manually swipe from the left-most menu). First impressions: Love the large-text on main screen option. Navigation still not working for me. (2022 LFP RHD Model Y)

I am struggling to love the 'phone as key'/bluetooth - it's a bit hit and miss compared to the old model S fob. Particularly when opening the non-drivers door first. I feel a bit stupid when I try to open the door and it doesn't work first time. Especially when I am already doing hand...

Is it the passenger side in a RHD car? or is it on the always on the right hand side?

The reason is that the charging speed greatly reduces as the state of charge increases. So it may take 5 minutes to add 100km when charge is low, but if you are at 80% it may take 60 minutes to add that last 100km. You can charge for longer, it is just less efficient. (and not polite if you...

This is actually smart design - it means there is an extra EV on the used car market. Going forwards there will be a bigger incentive to sell your car at the end of the lease and novate another new one. Those that can novate/package a new car will, and those that can't should get a lot of...

That's an 'interesting' sign: 'Electric vehicle parking only while charging'. Would be fairly easy to argue if no-one is charging, then the parking is OK for any ICE...

Yes. V3 charging nicely.

Aaaand it's live

Congratulations to all involved on the completion of a fantastic network which has greatly improved regional Victoria for EV owners and future owners.

Looks like Sea Lake & Ouyen are now live too based on email from Evie - not active on Plugshare yet

Vague maps included here:- https://arena.gov.au/assets/2021/07/future-fuel-fund-maps.pdf

Powerclub - pay wholesale + margin. Charge when rates are low.

Thanks - just checked and my full MCU1 refund has also come through. Next up, let's get a refund for chargegate.

I just entered the BSB in that field. Why it takes two months to ask for a bank account number and then two more months to send a refund is insulting.

Isn't Mooroopna next to Shepparton? - surely they don't both need chargers? - Or are they separate networks?

Such a strange location. Struggling to see many scenarios where Euroa couldn't be used instead.

The second Evie 'Charging the reqions' site is Canal Rd, Sale 45kw.

Inglewood Vic - Northwest of Bendigo.

It looks like the charger is being installed at Maryborough. Also has an 'Evie' logo on the box. (source twitter @roblawCVGA)

There's bad luck and there's bad design. Just search this forum re the steering control arm. Plenty of issues with it. Just replaced mine. This, the MCU & the door handles should all have been replaced (properly) by Tesla under warranty as defective in design. If third parties can be...

It has some problems when it's 49 degrees outside and you are supercharging...

My car was making noises when turning full lock. See below for a picture. It appears to me that once the bushing wears a little, full lock means the arm rubs against the wheel bolt and slowly starts to weaken until it breaks.

There is a publicly available 2x HPWC destination charger at the Riversleigh in Bairnsdale also - this may be a better backup as closer to Lakes Entrance. I used it two weeks ago - worked perfectly.

Has it confused any car routing - i.e. does the car still route through these superchargers if it needs the charge?

I am hoping that they have been holding off on new superchargers until this is ready - and the floodgates are about to open on new AU superchargers V3 with CCS cables.

Whilst a functional web browser would be nice, by all accounts the performance on older cars makes it next to useless anyway.

Big mistake with the locations chosen. Both near existing superchargers. Given that 90% of the long range EV's at the moment would be Tesla's - who is going to use them? Sure, build for the future, but if next to nobody uses them for three years, nobody is going to build any more in a hurry

I think the formula needs a bit of tweaking to allow better for 2 and 4 bay chargers - if the formula kicked in at 51% rather than 50% things would be much less of a problem. The only AU sites that seem to be a problem are the ones at the Tesla service centres, and IMO that's mainly caused by...

Hey Chuq where's that 2nd Melbourne supercharger you promised us?

All of the 85's came with included supercharging. For the 60's Supercharging was an optional extra (and was actually cheaper to activate after purchase due to avoiding the LCT)

This article:- Tesla announces eight-year warranty for Australia mentions "Existing owners are able to upgrade to an eight-year warranty, if they so choose. Until 30 March 2018, Tesla offered a four-year warranty." Somebody want to call and get a price for the upgrade, to save us all doing...

I do wonder what percentage of drive units are still being replaced. I'm on my second and just starting to hear the early stages of it deteriorating again. The replacements appear to be refurbished, so I'd hope they are not 15-20k after the 8yr warranty expires.

1) Spend extra time at the petrol station, soaking up the smell 2) Turn the radio off in your current vehicle, appreciate the noise and vibration 3) When driving on the freeways, stare straight ahead and make constant micro adjustments 4) Turn the radio back on and listen to the advertisements...

Surprised they've only gone with 6 SC spots. It seems like SC's are getting bigger everywhere else in the world in preparation for model 3. 6 seems a little underdone for a service centre where Tesla owned cars tend to take up most of the spots

Well, if anyone gets an invite and has a +1 available, let me know!

Did all owners get an invite? - or just SA owners? I'm pondering making the trip from Melb, but missing an invite...

Isn't the whole point that they have an enormous battery that could be used???

Whilst Tesla might be able to build 7000 cars in a week, Tesla au won't be able to deliver at anywhere near that rate. A service centre would be doing well to deliver 30 a day. Say four service centres. 120 cars per day nationally. If there are 7000 reservations, that's two months between first...

Welcome to the future!

From what I read, this charger hasn't worked in over 12 months. Only 291 cars sold last year in Australia that can't use the 'other' fast chargers. The EV movement need to pick their battles. I'm not sure entities thinking about putting in a chademo want to see their name dragged through the...

Just had my Nov 2014 drive unit replaced due to milling noise. I had tolerated it as long as possible. Received a refurbished Q motor, and the car is back to wonderful again.
