    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Disabling Sentry mode and the MCU reset has fixed the problem. The Battery is now holding charge overnight. Thanks all for your help:)

    The problem is still there. I rebooted the touch screen computer a few minutes ago. Not game to try the Factory Reset.:mad:

    Ok thanks, Sentry had become enabled on the App (it wasn't me). If it is still discharging, I will try the reboot.

    My MYP is experiencing fantom battery drain since 14.8 update. I am losing about 4% to 5% overnight at home.

    Common Australian Pickup Issues

    Its not the variation in gaps but the size of the gaps in the MYP. Compared to the similar sized Lexus which was parked next to my MYP the panel gaps on the MYP looked consistently wide. The Lexus looked much better finished with tighter gaps and better paint finish.

    Common Australian Pickup Issues

    When I picked up my MYP, I had to get the rep to take the car into the workshop to get some crap cleaned off the car. I serious doubted that the car had even been washed at the dealership. I washed and detailed the car at home and was disgusted at how dirty the glass surfaces were. I complained...

    Yup, A hefty jump as of 1 July. Have you been advised of your new rate? Thankfully, the QLD GOV is going to give a $550 electricity rebate to every household as per their Budget.

    My Tesla experience

    I have a 10KW solar inverter system + I GET FREE ELECTRICITY on WEEKENDS. :cool: I was careful to say that I was charging at up to 7.5KW from my solar panels. Generally, I am charging at around 4 to 5KW and even lower if I have other appliances running. Having said that, my electricity provider...

    My Tesla experience

    Yes, you are correct. The UMC only uses 1 Phase of the 32A 3-phase socket. The single phase charges at up to 32A continuous. If the UMC burnt out and if it had to be replaced, I would consider buying an aftermarket 3 phase charger with a 5 pin - 3 phase plug so it can be taken on trips and...

    My Tesla experience

    Bump. Would like to read more about your Tesla experience (especially high mileage). My experience is as follows: I have done nearly 2000kms in my 3/2023 MYP, MSM colour. Fit and finish was perfect out of the factory. No issues to report at 2000kms. The paint seems a bit thin and easily...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Really? I haven't heard of that. I was under the impression that the cabin climate control was operated by SW when parked due to very cold or very hot temperatures to prevent the electronics from being effected by adverse weather conditions.

    Autopilot dangerous behaviour passing intersection

    I am not a fan of Autopilot. Based on my experience with AP, I would avoid buying EAP or FSD.

    I find that the interior climate control continues to operate when the vehicle is parked in the garage even on cooler days. I have to turn it off manually. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    DIY ceramic products available in Aus

    Yeah, YouTube seems to be full of 'paid influences'. Thanks for the tip. I will watch out for it wearing off. I will post here if I see it wearing off. Seven weeks in it seems fine, still using the pressure washer and foam cannon. I really don't mind having to re-apply the coating if/when it...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I used to have a Nissan 200SX Turbo with 0 to 100kms in 5.8 sec. I modified it. 5 inch SS exhaust and performance air filter and the car was quicker and growled. Loved the sound of the turbo blow off valve opening. Brave Hilux's, SUVs and taxies used to try to race me. It became tiresome after...

    Thanks, Figured it out. I put the correct address into Google Maps and saved it as Home. It took a couple of days for the Tesla App to update the address accordingly.

    Hey Guys, My Tesla Phone App is showing my location incorrectly (it's showing my neighbour's address). I already set my correct location in the car's sat nav but can't seem to fix the phone app location. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Same strong smell in my MYP. Strong enough to give me a headache within a few minutes. I am leaving the windows down and the rear garage door open when parked at home. The smell seems to be receding.

    I picked up my MYP today. Absolutely stoked with it. The car came with 90% charge which dropped to 86% by the time I got home. Looking at the charge history, I see that the car has had several charges to bring it back up to 90%. The car has 31kms on the odometer at the end of day one. I am...

    2023 Australian Model Y Window Tinting

    Thanks for confirming. I can understand why tinters would like to tint the whole car if given a chance...... I think the roof is dark enough. I bought a sunscreen from Amazon just in case and for long trips.

    So, do you think that it is ok that the Turandot was scheduled to dock in Brisbane on 5 March (was kept off shore at anchor for over a week) and it takes nearly a month to process the cars and deliver them? All the time these ships are burning fossil fuels and wasting time, then the cars just...

    Reversing issues in new MYP = accident

    I agree with a lot of comments on this thread. Ultimately, the driver is responsible. That's how the insurance co and Tesla will see it. I am sometimes shocked at how fast some people reverse into parking spots or out of driveways. I have heard of cases where kids have run over and killed by...

    Well, I'd like to see you try to make a claim on that! I have kept my cars for 13 to 14 years and never needed PPF. regular washing and polishing only. The cars have maintained their shine albeit a few scratches and chips.
