Wait people weren't aware there was a Tesla going in at Westgate? It was mentioned as far back as September 2023!

I've done 43,500km on my Feb 2021 Model 3 Long Range. I got a tyre rotation at around about 20,000km from memory, and the Tesla person said they were in very good condition. I live in Wellington where opportunities to accelerate violently are limited anyway, but I'm otherwise not that inclined...

I ended up going to a place about 400m down the road from where I live (CBD) on Saturday morning. All done within 1.5 hours or so (I went back home). Easy as.

Yes that's why I want to go, but unfortunately I recently started a non-WFH Monday-Friday 7am - 3:30pm ish job. It took me 40 minutes to drive 6km from near the airport to central city after work on Friday afternoon so trying to get to Lower Hutt is just.. not practical.

Yeah sound and decibels can be a little complex. Not your usual ohm's law type physics. I had to learn this stuff about 15 years ago and always remembered the 3dB = double thing. On looking it up now that appears to be sound pressure/energy, and as you kind of allude, for humans a 10dB increase...

Ah ok. I see their hours are 8am - 4pm Monday - Friday which is.. convenient if you live in the Hutt I guess.. And slightly more convenient than having to travel out to Upper Hutt for the Tesla approved panel beater... Will find somewhere else!

Hi all I've just realised my car is coming up for a WOF in a week and a half. Based on searching here it looks like Tesla does do WOFs.. however, I went into the Book a Service menu on the app and cannot see the option anywhere. Am I blind? Or do they not do it anymore? The searches...

My auto wipers seem to have reversed.. Previously they were always over zealous.. fastest speed when its only drizzling, continuing to run (on autopilot) long after the rain has stopped or moisture is gone.. now since the update they are on intermittent wiping when the windscreen is covered in...

Don't know about others but I've had two instances of autopilot being disconnected and the car telling me I couldn't reactivate it "on this journey"... in almost 3 years of ownership. Just to put some perspective to that.

Interesting, that's only 20km away from Mangaweka. I wonder if this is additional or replacement? (Similar to Taupo I guess, not sure which it is for there either). Mangaweka had some public toilets, but its a dog of a location to get into without any other cars charging, let alone it being...

I used to be a member but left. The same old questions getting repeated and people posting BS is boring. As I understand it the Facebook group is officially recognised by Tesla though. They have regular(ish) meetings and communication.

I was wondering if that infrastructure was partially blocking the footpath which wouldn't be very good.. but looking at streetview they appear to have removed some plants and trees and its in place of a vegetation berm. The carparks were also disabled carparks! Although the paint was very faded...

Bulls is great. I've got a M3 LR and can just make it from Wellington to Taupo in one trip (have done it once when departing about 5pm but would otherwise stop for a break). As crucial as Mangaweka has been to the Supercharging network, it really does suck. From the almost non-existent room to...

Yes I've driven Wellington to Waikanae at least a dozen times and can confirm there is a specific spot where this happens every single time. I've finally registered to memory where it happens so my foot hovers on the gas pedal to stop the slow down. Its very strange.

Price increases and decreases all the time. I paid for my LR at the absolute peak in NZ ($94,532) and within months it had dropped about $10k. It sucks but that's life. If you have already paid, unlucky but move on. Definitely don't have a whinge and protest like some overseas buyers.

I got the EAP trial too and now my autopilot isn't workint at all. I've tried adjusting loads of settingsz resetting the car, even subscribed to premium connectivity but ever time it just gives an error with no explanation why. The manual does not give any clues either. Anyone got any ideas...

I always reverse in to charge.. maybe more targeted at Leaf owners!

Plugshare is showing $0.50/kWh not $0.50/kW like someone thought above. I have seen mention of this mixup re Jolt confusing kW and kWh which is pretty amateur. In any case, $0.50/kWh is competing with whatever ChargeNet is charging now (I forget) and $0.70/kWh ish for Superchargers. For those of...

Charging options in Wellington are terrible.. basically limited to Z Vivian St and Pak n Sav Kilbirnie for 50kW where you don't have to pay for the parking itself too!

Supercharger pricing has actually changed a bit lately - some down, some up. Mangaweka - was 81c/kWh (August), now 69c/kWh (September) Taupo - was 72c/kWh (August), now 70c/kWh (September) Johnsonville - was 55c/kWh (August), now 69c/kWh (September)
