    Using Waze On Tesla Model Y

    This may have been mentioned before on previous posts. I use Waze (and Spotify / Speed Adviser apps in the background) on my phone using Bluetooth to the car speakers and also the same destination on my Model 3 screen with the Tesla navigation on mute. This way I have two reference points...

    Model 3 or wait for Model Y and other questions

    Hey Daniel, you do realize this is a thread for Australian posts on TMC The system for negative gearing using debt to buy investment such as shares or property to offset tax requirements may work differently in Hawaii than it does in Australia. I have used borrowed money quite effectively...

    Tesla Opening Superchargers to non-Teslas

    I read somewhere that non Tesla owners will need to download the Tesla App, provide their credit card details, nominate which Supercharger site they are at, nominate which stall they are using, how much charge they require and then press the "GO START" button to begin charging No mention...

    Sell crashed 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+ (Sydney) Locked

    With 3rd party Fast Chargers and Tesla Superchargers disabled and up to $50K repair cost. This Model 3 is basically worthless. . . . I will say it is less than worthless With the new NSW incentives starting from 1st September 2021, you can buy a SR+ from as low as $59K brand new with no...

    Insurer that I can stick with?

    I've got an NRMA Comprehensive Plus policy which has unlimited days car hire (even if you are at fault in a collision) up to $100 per day which would get you a Hybrid Camry through AVIS or Budget Car Rentals.

    Model 3 Myths

    How much power can you charge here? 1.21 Giga watts. Does it also have a flux capacitor? (Sorry, this was not a myth, just my observation of the above picture)

    Insurance quotes for Australian M3?

    Hi Petros. You will find that the Suncorp PDS for Comprehensive Advantages (Which is their top cover) states new for old replacement - the loss or damage to your car occurred less than 2 years from date of original registration.

    Any Aussies with front suspension rattle?

    Kudos to Tesla. Had this been a Ford or Holden service, they would have done everything as above, but still charge you the $1400 which was quoted

    Model 3 Charging in Australia

    All American Car Day

    Here are some photos of the All American Day 2020 held at Macarthur Square Shopping Centre at Campbelltown NSW The day had less people than previous years maybe due to the new location (previously Castle Hill) and definitely due to the wet weather. The usual EV questions were asked. *...

    Using CCS chargers

    Over the weekend, I used the NRMA Fast Charger at Homebush to charge a Model 3 It has 50KW CCS2 and 50KW Chademo. Arrived there with around a quarter tank of electrons. Set car to 100% charge which would take 1 hr 05 min. When you attach the plug to the car you can choose between 80% and...

    All American Car Day

    Thanks Meloccom. I'll stay at McDonalds Campbelltown until you arrive or do you want to meet up at the shopping centre. I believe that the entry will be from Kellicar Rd (Google map street view below) This should be an official annual Tesla meet where we can show off the cars to the public

    Charging current Model 3

    I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere that Model 3 Standard Range Plus (home and destination charging) is limited to 16A. LR AWD and Performance versions could be different (up to 32A) When I hired my Model 3 last Nov, I only had the 10A mobile connector at plugged in at home (charging...

    Tesla St Leonards to close

    I'm all in for St Marys to be chosen by Mirvac for fast destination charging As a resident in Sydney's outer western suburbs it was painful to have to drive into the city or St Leonards to supercharge if I required more juice to top up than I could do at home with my 8-10A connection with the...

    All American Car Day

    Well, I'm not yet an owner of Model 3 but at this stage, I'm planning to be there in a hired one I have for the weekend. With over 1600 km of driving and charging experience already in a Model 3 and 2700 km in a Model S last year, I will have a wealth of personal knowledge to share with the...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Has anyone noticed on the Model 3 ordering page that the LR AWD cars have an estimated delivery of December where the other two variants have an estimated February delivery. That must mean that Tesla have a stockpile of LR cars in a warehouse ready to go without the usual 2-3 month wait (or an...

    TeslaFi vs TeslaMate

    I might be a little naive in this department but are any of these the Tesla App I got from my Google Play Store. I hired a Model 3 for a week last month (from evee.com.au) and the owner kindly gave me a temp password for me to be able to log in and use the app to control the car. I thought it...

    Pictures of production Model 3s

    At McDonalds, absolutely. Also these charger stalls are at the side of the store behind the drive through bays where less cars would park anyway. When I arrived there the general carpark was more than 1/2 full of cars (it was a Saturday around 11am) and all 6 bays were available for Tesla's...

    The four cameras saved me $1000 and my driving record...

    To the left of the Sentry Mode on the in-car touchscreen is a diagram of a camera. If there is a red dot on it, it is constantly recording video in one minute segments. V10 will record front, rear and both side cameras synchronously. To save a file, touch the camera icon, you will receive a...

    The four cameras saved me $1000 and my driving record...

    You need to have the TeslaCam flash drive in one of the two front USB ports at all times. The flash drive records in one minute segments and stored within files containing 10 min of data. By pressing the camera icon on the Tesla screen when in recording mode automatically stores 10 min of...

    New and Used Prices

    You know, I think that $85,000 is way off the mark as to the real value of that Model 3 on Carsales. First of all, the original price paid was before the price increase so standard paint (black was standard then) with the FSD would have been no more than around $80,000 Then there is the cost...

    Speed cameras on maps

    Problem solved. Just use a speed camera app on your phone. Only issue is that you cant have the music too loud unless you also play this on your phone (via bluetooth) and it should mute the music when a speed camera alert is activated on your phone.

    EV Subsidies are proposed in NZ for 2021

    You may be able to rent a Model 3 this year. I have already booked a Model 3 to rent in Sydney Australia this November thru Evee.com.au and there is another Model 3 available to rent in Brisbane as well. I feel that our NZ cousins will have the same in the not too distant future.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    This may be true in the past with the way people who ordered Model S or Model X but consider that once Model 3 starts shipping cars here. Because the VIN is not allocated to you at the time the car is built at Fremont, and the limited variations you can select, it could already be built and on...

    Model 3 rental Melbourne

    Last time I looked on Evee there were two Model 3 listing's in Australia. One in Sydney and one in Brisbane. It is just a matter of time before more will show up to be rented out. BTW, I have already booked the one in Sydney for a week in the first week of November.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I have driven mostly Japanese cars all of my 37+ years on the road. When I took a test drive of the Model S last year, the Tesla representative told me to grip my right hand to the steering wheel when getting ready to signal, forcing me to use my left hand to signal. It worked well and lesson...

    Model 3 Accessories

    I've seen YouTube videos of the Tesla Dashcam and the cameras recorded are only the front and side cameras. What about the rear camera? This should be the most important one for those collisions where drivers are more tempted to do a runner rather than face the consequences. (this has happened...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    You are correct . . . . SR+ starting from around $70,500 has the basic Audio Package, Rear Motor and less range The LR AWD starting from $93,500 ($23,000 difference in price) has the Premium Audio package, Front and Rear Motor and more range. This is what I mentioned in my statement on post...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I think Tesla will survive just fine. Orders are still outstripping the ability to deliver cars worldwide and this will just widen with more and more Model 3's delivered New models in R&D Word of mouth is such a powerful tool. With our own local market with more Tesla's being delivered in...

    ?Drop off of rate of charge at Supercharger St Leonards

    Isn't there documentation out there (I think I read it somewhere in the forum) that owners who excessively use the Superchargers will eventually get lower charging speeds to safeguard the battery pack. This may have now kicked in for you Dborn.
