    Some on 8.7, others on 8.9 and still others on 24.14. WHAT?

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I'm not sure about anyone else but I find this 'Software Updates' thread extremely difficult. There seems to be a hundred different software versions out at any given time and a hundred different things being updated. Some here, some there, some not at all. Matrix headlights etc here, but not...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I note many people use Waze for warnings. I used Waze extensively before the Tesla Y (because Benz had Apple carplay) but to have to use a 3rd party App for something like this is in our Tesla ludicrous.

    can't speal for other vehicles but the Kia Sorento's alert was a voice alert "Speed camera ahead".

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    We hired 3 KIA Sorento's for our drive yourself holiday in NZ recently. All 3 reported audibly on speed cameras and the like. But, if you asked me which car is better to drive, the decisions isn't even close. Out MYLR is streets ahead in almost every other aspect. Ypu'd think it wasn't too hard...

    Why the hell can't we have voice notification like most other vehicles in the 21st century?

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    What I learnt from my 'investigation' (some 4-5 years ago now) when I was considering buying one (RFID protectors were being heavily advertised at the time), that there wasn't a single incidence recorded anywhere in the world at the time where information had been successfully stolen using a...

    Ambient lighting in the Model S

    Hi mate, congrats on your new S that's on the way. The S is what I wanted too but when I attempted to order last April they were already unavailable in RHD. How did you get yours?

    TACC is handy if you want to look for your sunglasses and put them on or maybe take a drink from your water bottle. That's about the limit of it around town IMHO.

    To be fair, the wipers (auto) in our old 2017 E Class Benz were just as good but it had a dedicated rain sensor on the windshield. Maybe Tesla should go that way (Ha!)

    It seems inconceivable, although I'm not doubting what you say, that the same update in the same vehicle can produce varying conditions. What on earth is going on?

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    It's strange how people's perception varies regarding functions of the car. I find both Auto headlights and Auto wipers are just fine.

    I have that update waiting and when reading the Notes, it said that the 'car will warn you when the charge is below 50%' from memory.

    Anyone Using 'Watch App For Tesla'?

    yes it seems so, my aerial images say 'Airbus'.

    Model 3 RWD vs Long Range Comparison

    That's my point. I reckon you paid almost $3K for the upgrades wheels (as did I) but at least Tesla had to fit the upgraded wheels whereas the upgraded performance is a software switch.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Yes, our Google Maps images are now 2024 but the quality of the maps has declined significantly. It smells to me like a cost saving measure.

    Call me a Luddite but why would Google maps' (so called) upgrade to inferior maps for 2024? Insane!

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Yes the tiles are completely different from a week ago and it's definitely NOT an improvement (aesthetically at least). Some areas (around Noosa) are as before, pleasing colour rendition and high definition, but you can see the (ghastly) change to garish colours and seemingly lower resolution in...

    Model 3 RWD vs Long Range Comparison

    Ha! The best option I'm aware of on any EV is the $2,000 Tesla charge to upgrade the performance of the LR versions. Absolute rip-off because it's nothing more than a software adjustment. Do you think that will increase value at resale time?

    Everything Electric Sydney (February 9-10-11, 2024)

    Bring it on I say. We live on a golf resort and body corporate will not permit solar on our fragile terracotta tile roofs. If I were living under different conditions I would have installed solar long ago. So it's nice to think that we (a-solar types due to circumstances) might benefit somewhat.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Since the recent update (see image below), I've noticed that the air conditioning doesn't cut in for some time to cool the car after commencing driving. The other annoying thing is that the colours displayed on Google Maps are now quite bizarrely vivid and the resolution of the maps appears to...

    Road noise - 2023 Model Y

    Our first BMW X5 was one of the first X5's to sell in Australia after it launched. Bought it off the floor from BMW Rushcutters Bay. It was 4.4L V8 petrol and it had every conceivable extra fitted. It had (real) double glazed windows all round. It was very quiet, rivaling what I reckon our MYLR...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    We have (June) 2023 MYLR and I don't think our headlights have matrix. How does one tell? is it a setting in there somewhere to turn them on?

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Lucky you! (IMHO) We have a 2023 MYLR and can't get the left mirror to save in a position (dipped down) that allows you to see the curb (by the rear wheel) when parallel reverse parking. I would love it if our left rear mirror would drop all the way down.

    Very Hot Garage

    It's a problem because many balls land directly on the roof. There are some pretty ordinary golfers around, especially when the wind blows. We can easily collect a dozen balls a month from around our house.

    Very Hot Garage

    Has anyone out there an understanding of the battery management system (BMS) in a 2023 MYLR? There didn't seem to be a definitive answer to my question about our hot garage and if the BMS will protect it over the long haul.

    Very Hot Garage

    We have 3 phase and 20A was the limit (in QLD) according to the bloke that installed our wall charger without major work from memory, we currently have 16A which is just fine.

    Very Hot Garage

    That's right. We asked for 32A but had to settle for 16A.

    Very Hot Garage

    We have a standalone house on a golf course. I am the Body Corporate chairman so I'm in a difficult position. Another potential issue is stray golf balls. On windy days we can get bombarded. I'm pushing 79 years of age and I've held off solar in any case because I might not outlast the payback...

    Very Hot Garage

    Yes it is and it's a flat metal roof but our problem is that our body corporate won't allow solar panels to be installed if they can be seen from the street,

    Morning all, We're going on holidays for a month in February and I was considering setting charge limit (MYLR with LNMC battery (I think)) to 50-60% and leaving it plugged in to our Tesla wall charger for the duration. Firstly, is that the best option? Secondly, our garage faces west and...

    Auto Tilt Mirror Won't Set

    Auto Tilt Mirror Won't Set

    Hi, I was the thread starter and it worried me that I couldn't see the rear left wheel when reverse parking (in Aus). I'm not sure if you're aware that the problem has been partially fixed (to my satisfaction anyway) by the fact that when selecting reverse, two smaller views appear under the...
