    Subframe collapsed - Pulls to the LEFT under Acceleration, pulls to the RIGHT under Regen.

    Sparky's all repaired & insurance agreed not a wear& tear item so paid out. *sigh* @ Tesla 😔

    Subframe collapsed - Pulls to the LEFT under Acceleration, pulls to the RIGHT under Regen.

    Had this recurring loose bolt problem for the last 100,000+km. After replacing the bolt (multiple service appointments to diagnose root cause) which kept recurring Tesla just tighten it each time & send me on my way which ended up causing the subframe to give out. NUTHPT M12x1.75 [10]-G720...

    Tesla battery event Hornsdale

    It's a pretty windy hilly road all the way. Left clare with 400km & went 2 Hornsdale then back home (300km trip all up) & had 40km range left so 60km gap.

    Tesla battery event Hornsdale

    Decided 2 go all the way & check out Hornsdale after a quick Clare supercharge & lunch @ Mr Micks. Approx 5km unsealed dirt road = 1 dirty Sparky. o_O Drove past the battery farm then into i think private property to get up close to the wind turbines. Man those things are huuuge!

    What's even better is i really didn't need the charge! Only stopped in to make sure it was online.:p Quick topup @ Mr Micks then went onto the battery farm. (Posting on other thread soon). Was a great day - 400+km round trip. Easy as pie! Luv this car.:cool:

    New tyres at 60 000kms

    They've got the primacy 3 in stock @ a comparable price!

    New tyres at 60 000kms

    Mine were $361 each with $100 cash back so $1344 + $75 wheel alignment. Quoted $429 each for the Goodyears.

    New tyres at 60 000kms

    LOL!!! I had exactly the same thoughts! The Eagle RSA are 98V (750kg @ 240km/hr) 98Y (750kg @ 300km/hr) 102Y (850kg @ 300km/hr) So either is above what came with Sparky. I just asked for Primacy 3 & ended up with Primacy3 ST 102W.

    New tyres at 60 000kms

    Just got a set of Michelin Primacy 3 fitted after 50,000+km on the Goodyear Eagle RSA's. Loving them so far - like floating on air but glued to the road even in the wet! As long as the wear live is there I'll be a happy camper!

    Supercharger - Keith SA

    Was touch & go last trip but no problems this trip - weird! Was having to start charging @ 20A then after 5 mins could sustain 32A. If i went straight to 32A the Maxicharger would cut out & Sparky kept saying "check charging cable"? Waiting for my JuiceBooster2 to arrive - better built unit &...

    Yup - worked great! Sparky looked out of place amongst the old harvesters but made for some nice photos! I streamlined my charging on the way back - 1/2 hour @ Ballarat & approx 2 hours @ Keith then straight through to Adelaide. I took my electric scooter with me so popped over to the pub for...

    Won't tint side windows?

    Sparky's going back in tomorrow. "My supplier told me no one does them because of how they seal and the ceramic dot matrix will make them peel. Happy to give it a go though." Interesting.

    Use PlugShare to find charging points. There's restaurants about 15 minutes walk from the centre. I just bought an electric scooter so will definitely make getting around easier! I just called ahead & they were fine with us using the HPWC without staying but ended up staying anyway & made a...

    It's an easy trip now that Ballarat's open! Adelaide - Mount Barker (3-Phase + J1772 available @ Summit Health Centre) - Horsham International Hotel (3-Phase Tesla HPWC) - Ballarat SC - Melbourne. If you're running anything lower than 85 pack you'd need to stop @ Keith Motor Inn. Dual...

    Nope - supercharger was live but Sparky was semi broken. Had the same issue when we tried the RichmondSC but replugged the cable & it worked so never thought anything more of it. Currently stranded @ Euroa as Sparky won't DC charge at all now. Waiting for tow truck to take Sparky back to...
