Cars have been storing data that can be retrieved and used in court long before Tesla… there was a case in Sydney in 2005 where data was retrieved from a Peugeot that proved the driver was speeding at the time of an incident.

Exactly. I give exactly zero fks for the visualisations, they’re completely pointless and just take up space.

I have this fairly regularly. It’s one of the annoying things about the car that is making me look forward to getting rid of it in 12 months time.

It’s a spot weld or similar.

wall connector software needs a way to have multiple charging windows. Electricity plan I’m on is 8c from midnight to 6am, and free from 11am to 2pm. Be good to take advantage of the free period sometimes without stuffing around with the car and wall connector settings.

I’ve seen a grand total of 1 of them in the wild, and it was the press vehicle that Daniel Ricciardo had been doing laps in at the F1GP a couple of weeks earlier.

Have they fixed the issue where the battery interconnect would overheat and limit power with a single hard acceleration onto the freeway?

Now if only the side to side action on the scroll wheel was actually usable with having to hook a fingernail under the edge to push it across…. It really does make me wonder how much real world testing was done with some of the design “features” in the car.

At least they’re consistently inconsistent. Or reliably unreliable. :rolleyes:

Did an update a couple of days ago (30.8 I assume), drove in the rain today for the first time since the update. The autowipers are the worst they’ve ever been. It’s getting beyond a joke….

The shitful autowipers is a perfect example of what annoys me about Tesla. Other manufacturers have had perfectly functioning rain sensors for decades. Doing it differently is not clever if it doesn’t work properly. There’s a reason every other manufacturer uses a dedicated rain sensor, and it’s...

only on days ending in Y.

Current software update appears to have been downloaded to the car about 10 times so far today (router is telling me the car has downloaded 22GB in the last 24 hours), but hasn’t yet successfully installed. Battery is draining at about 3% every 6 hours since the car won’t go to sleep properly...

Sounds like RoboRace, Launched in 2015 but went bust. Their first test runs were….. problematic. Looks like the series you’re talking about is: https://a2rl.io/

I wish there was a way to have the rear fan come on all the time, not just when passengers are detected. Our dogs are in boxes that hang off the headrests, so aren’t detected as passengers, and I have to turn on the rear fan manually every time.

The Spotify implementation in the car is woeful. Poor audio quality, playlists don’t work properly half the time, the “radio” playlists only play one song. Shouldn’t be that hard to fix, but hey, we got a new Zombie game in a recent update :P

44.1 downloaded and tried to install this morning, but failed with no reason given.

No, bought a car, hates poorly thought out or implemented features. Big difference.

Was going to ask the same. I hate it. Even the non FSD preview display is annoying. Would love to be able to turn it off completely. The way it flickers when stationary is stupid. But hey, we can make the car make fart noises.

I’m glad someone said it…

Leaving Bluetooth switched off on the phone MIGHT save 3 or 4% battery over a day, hardly seems worth the hassle.

Spotify randomly decides whether or not it will play the last track I listened to somewhere on another device. Sometimes it starts playing when I get in the car, other times it’s just paused. The Spotify implementation in the car is rubbish, and that’s not even mentioning the crappy codec it...

Wall Connector being available in the app is nice, except for the fact that now the wall connector keeps dropping off my WiFi and showing as unavailable 🙄 edit: looks like it didn’t like having Home Assistant polling it as well as the app.

I’m another OVO EV Plan user, I found them very responsive via their chat/email facilities (though admittedly I only used them after signing up) I’d put a referral link, but I think it would get chopped by the mods.

The once or twice I’ve tried to use the voice commands they’ve been absolutely useless. Wanted to pre-condition the battery for supercharging so tried “navigate to nearest supercharger” “navigate to box hill supercharger” and about 10 other phrases, none of them understood by the car. Pathetic.

Zero chance I would have paid for that. I’ve had successful warranty claims on multiple vehicles shortly out of warranty up to and including an $11k engine rebuild….

That says to me that the difference between chemistries isn’t worth worrying about since none of us would be storing the car for 10 months at a high temperature…

No sealed package, cable might have still been taped up though.

I ended up with 2 two UMC’s for… reasons. Was able to return one for a refund.

Mounting the light bar on the roof is not legal in WA (and seemingly a very grey area in other states) https://practicalmotoring.com.au/car-advice/where-can-you-legally-mount-led-lightbars/

I think the headlights are crap. Inconsistent colours in the beam pattern, demented behaviour of the auto high beam. My previous cars have had MUCH better lights (2021 M135i, 2019 Tiguan).

I’d be amazed if that wasn’t written off.

I’d like to be able to turn off the animations on the right hand side completely. It’s useless 99% of the time, and when stationary in traffic tends to flicker.

I’m pretty sure that anyone that the FBT exemption or instant tax write-off applies to wouldn’t be eligible for the subsidy anyway.

I think the audio system in the LR is VERY good, so long as you have a decent source. The low quality streaming via Spotify is really annoying, and a massive oversight IMO. I’ve got a large SSD plugged in the glovebox with lots of FLAC audio on there, and it’s amazing with a decent recording...

Haven’t had connectivity issues with Spotify, but it’s disappointing that even with such a good audio system in the car, Spotify uses a noticeably lower bit rate and has pretty average audio quality 🙁

Not even close, they’re really not very big at all.

What’s the going rate for a brand new UMC these days? Have ended up with 2 for various reasons.

I think there’s two elements at play here. Paranoia when driving a new car that everyone is about to crash into you, and particularly in the early days of Tesla, people wanting to have a look at something new. I think particularly for “car people”, seeing something new is always interesting...

Fixed it. Scrolled the map to Brisbane and hit the supercharger filter button so it didn’t just jump to Bairnsdale.

Bug that is absolutely doing my head in: was playing filtering the Charger locations based on power, and now any time I tap the lightning bolt in a circle it jumps straight to a 32kw charger near Bairnsdale and won’t let me change the filter. Have tried everything I can think of.

I think it’s only the navigation voice recognition. Why there’s a difference I have no idea.

I’ve had the car 9 days and this is my 2nd software update. Car is connected to my home wifi when I’m at home, dunno if that helps.

Mine is downloading 2023.12.1.1 at the moment.

Aah, OK. I picked up my car last week (with included UMC) and it did what I described. Charged at 8A until it reached the limit, then did a firmware update enabling 10A.

If you leave the UMC plugged in for a while after you’ve reached the charging limit, it will do a firmware update to enable 10A/15A.

UMC came with the car, wall charger and rubber mats are on the way. There’s a mysterious 3rd package in my AusPost tracking, which will either be a type2 cable, or possibly an additional UMC. Loving it so far, only done ~250km since Thursday, but liking it a lot.

Don’t be surprised if the leasing company hasn’t setup the Supercharger billing correctly…. I used one on Sunday as a test, got a charge, and as I drove off got a message in the car and on the App that supercharging was blocked due to no billing method being setup. I was able to clear it by...

Mine has various marks visible on the glass when it’s wet, I’m going to try some Autoglym Glass Polish tomorrow, I think that should remove them.

Enphase have EVSE in development at the moment, apparently about 12 months away. They’re talking about it supporting V2L, but I doubt that will work with our cars. I think the Enphase stuff is a good product, and seems to have good support - we had an inverter die the day after installation...
