I've only done a few long trips in my Model Y, but each time I've gone to a fast charger there have been free bays available. So I'm wondering what do you do, what's the etiquette if there are no free bays? It's not like a petrol station where you can get in a queue going to a particular pump...

What about buying an IP66 plug, a normal 10A cable socket and make a short extension/conversion cable?

Thanks! My dirty secret is that I've had my car for nearly a year, and only charged with the UMC cable! But I'll be doing some driving down the south in WA. Do people think getting the ChargeHQ app adds anything useful? Chargefox itself looks to me like it should do everything I need.

I'm new to Chargefox, I've just installed the app and setting it up. I have a Model Y. What would be the appropriate filters for searching? I'm assuming Type 1 and Chademo off, Type 2 (Mennekes) on. Then maybe CCS Combo 1 on. How about CCS Combo 2? Thanks!

Has anyone bought the Tesla "Model X/Y Hitch Rack" bike rack? If so how is it? I need a new bike rack, and if this has good reviews I would be very interested. I'm particularly interested in how easy it is to put on/take off the car, since I wouldn't want to leave it on when I don't need it. Thanks!

I didn't get a chance to take photos, but I did check and it fits fine turned the other way. The ball is fairly close to the bumper, and I ended up getting another hitch, a MH314 which has two holes so is adjustable to two positions. The close setting is about 5cm further out than the MH01 and...

Question about the tow package. It's meant to come with a "trailer harness". Is that the wiring internally to the plug next to the hitch receiver? Or am I meant to get a small wiring tail to go between that and the trailer plug? I'm pretty sure my old car included a separate short cable. So...

I think the length is adequate. It's fine for the bike rack, it clears the bumper easily. Here is a picture:

I sent a question via my app to Tesla about removing the towbar panel, they suggested a flat blade screwdriver, and start from the top right. I found it very easy. I don't see any need to make it easier, for me it's a non-issue. Yesterday I went to the local Auto One, got a tongue, pin and ball...

OK I got my tow hitch installed today. I was in a hurry and just picked up the car when it was ready. This seems pretty stupid, but how do I get to the hitch? There is a plastic panel there, do I just lever it out with a screwdriver or something?

I'll be getting my tow hitch in two weeks, so I'll need a tow ball. One of the main things I use it for is a bike rack, one of the ones that clamp onto the ball. It's hard to tell, but this looks a bit close. Do you think the rack, which is basically pipes that go vertically, will touch the...

It's easy to get carried away thinking you need to have to spend money and get a charging solution put in. I was thinking that, but being lazy just waited. With a UMC cable to can plug into a normal 10A outlet, and unless you are driving a lot you should be fine! Plug it in in the evening, and...

I got the towbar email Yesterday, already booked for 4th April. Approximatly how long is the installation? Just wondering if I can just hang around while it's being installed?

Twice when I've been exiting a car park, I've stopped and indicated to go left, using the wrong stalk Then try to take off and go backwards! Luckily both times there was nobody behind me. I know I should have noticed the camera view come up, but if you are a bit flustered it's very easy to do if...

Has anyone heard anything recently on ETA of the tow package? I want to get this and trying to decide whether to wait for Tesla, or get the third party one. Thanks!

Is there anything in this bill apart from FBT changes? That is anything for someone who just buys a Model Y?

As Dannerz said, I ordered a MYP on 10th June, but I got sick of waiting and edited the order to RWD. It keeps the original date, so I got the original price, and UMC.

Well I picked up my car today! It all went smoothly, and the car did come with the UMC cables and USS sensors. I'm glad I've got my car, if not I'd be getting nervous about the covid outbreak in China! One downside is that I got 20" wheels, and it looks like that pushed me over the limit for the...

I believe the original order date stands, that's why I got it so fast. It gave me the historical price. I'm assuming I will get the UMC, I will let you know.

Well that was quick! Wednesday I got notified I need to select a delivery time, and I had options of Mon 28 or Tues 29. So I'm picking my RWD on Tuesday next week! I accepted the trade in value this morning, I'm currently waiting for the final invoice.

For those asking, my order was white/black interior, 20" wheels.

There was movement in the camp! Over the weekend I got sick of waiting for my MYP, that I ordered June 10. So I changed my order to RWD. Immediately my delivery date changed to Aug-Nov 2022. Today I got the SMS that a car has been allocated to me, and I should get it in the next two weeks. I'm...

It's very quiet here! Is there a pause in VINs allocated for RWD? I'd like to know if there is a pause in deliveries to Australia till next quarter (ie next year) or if Shanghai is still cranking out Ys for Australia. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Yes WTF. I've come to the conclusion that there are not going to be any Performance cars produced this quarter. A lot of RWDs are being delivered, but so far not a single indication of a MYP. Anyone have any information that might give us some hope? I certainly hope I'm wrong. I've decided that...

Me too. MYP ordered 10th June now Jan - Mar 2023. I have to say this is really starting to make me a bit angry. Tesla Australia could come out with useful information - if they said something like"Sorry no MYPs for Australia will be built this quarter. But they are locking in for next quarter"...

Do you have any specific knowledge about this, or is it a just a guess? As someone who ordered an MYP it's getting very frustrating! Seeing a lot of RWDs build the the second quarter delivered, and now seeing 4th quarter cars coming it's very aggravating. Are the performance lines not running...

I am also in Perth and my MYP is showing "BOOKED". My order was 12:02pm 10th (WA time).

Got some somewhat good news today: the EDD for my MYP went from nothing to Nov - Feb. It must have updated in the last few days. I assume that means that my car will be built in the next quarter!

Good news for those of us waiting for Performance version: Tesla cuts Model Y and Model 3 waiting times by 6 weeks in China Wait for MYP has been halved for China, which I hope will translate to earlier deliveries for us!

My understanding is that things will be pretty quiet here for a few weeks, Shanghai will be doing domestic production till the end of the quarter. For all us MYP people watching in envy as RWDs were delivered, I hope they kick off next quarter with a MYP run! Here's hoping!

Do the deliveries of MYP in Singapore have any significance for us in Australia? I don't really understand how that works, do they configure the production line in Shanghai for a run of Performance, and is that what we are waiting for? And related, does anyone who ordered a MYP have a EDD? For...

Where are people seeing these EDDs? In my order, under the reservation number there is a statement "We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date". Is it somewhere else? Or are there others with no EDD? Mine is a Performance, ordered 12:02pm 10th June (WA time). Thanks!

I ordered my Model Y 12 noon (WA time) on June 10th (performance). I have not gotten any SMS messages, and I don't see any EDD. I checked my profile, phone number is correct. Should I worry? I would hate to find there has been a glitch and my order is not in the queue! Thanks for any info!
