Is there extended warranty for Model 3? The website only mentions Model S and X

Could you please post a photo of what the new controller sealing looks like? my model 3 one had the black silicon literally peeling off from all around on the day if installation. I thought it was a bit weird and became slightly concerned about its water proofing. I applied some black RV...

I’m amazed. This site was construction complete before Christmas when I saw it! They’ve had the covers on for three months! I wonder what’s taking so long.

Can some please addres a couple of concerns I have before I jump in? -does this potentially affect our Tesla warranty? Tesla aren’t often the best when it comes to addressing warranty issues with sometimes looking to blame the customer so I fear this might give them a way out? -is this...

My guess is Bundoora. It’s not showing on their app yet and last I saw it a couple of weeks ago it was finished but the chargers were covered under hoods, probably awaiting testing.

I checked out the under construction site at Uni Hill Bundoora today. The chargers are Tritium and at the back list “output 50KW” for both of them so these are the slower type not the 350KW. Good to see more chargers appearing around Melbourne’s north (or anywhere frankly) as we will definitely...

This is a WELL known issue and plenty of USA you tubers have done videos on it.. Here is one: PreviewPreview12:03How to remove mildew/mold smell from Tesla Model 3 ACYouTube · Evan MichielsSep 6, 2019 You not only need to replace the filters but also need to spray the condenser in the AC unit...

My Marantec garage opener is about 11 years old and yet supports Homelink out of the box. It works virtually flawlessly every single time.

This is the standard operation whenever government grants are involved. A company gets chosen to spend it. The criteria of how to spend it are limited and not well thought out by the government bureaucrats who only care about the press sound bites. The companies chosen don’t really want to bite...

Yep I’m having that issue too even on 12.11.1. In the past it was super sensitive and would always trigger even if I was the one approaching the car to get in. Now people can come and park next to it (really close) and there is never even a recording of any of it. Yet it records random trees...

6 weeks out of warranty and they made you pay???? That is DISGRACEFUL! You should not have accepted it and pursued it under Australian Consumer law. My old Mercedes had a fault that was going to be $1800 to repair. It happened nearly 6 months out of warranty and when they said “unfortunately...

Auto high beam has been useless since day 1, nothing to do with the update. It has the single worst auto high beam of any car I’ve ever driven. It goes on even in fairly bright environments, it does a terrible job of identifying oncoming traffic (or cars you are following) to turn itself off...

wait, what? Isn’t one of Roadie’s biggest downsides that it constantly buffers and freezes as it struggles to immediately play back the footage?

Works well but it’s annoying that none of the stations have logos which is strange as that data is included as part of the broadcast so I’m guessing Tesla has forgotten to implement it.

I did the same too but be aware you get gouged for the tinting by the detailer even though they subcontract it elsewhere. I had mine done in Melbourne and was charged $600 for side window tint only (ceramic tint) and the job was very poor. I had to return the car back to the tinting place and...

These prices are crazy....5m run with fairly easy access under the house for a grand? Come on! These electricians are charging like they are rocket engineers....in fact I am fairly certain the rocket engineers get paid a LOT less than that... I like Jet Charge don’t get me wrong but from what...

I purchased one of these from the first batch. Like many others I had issues with some of the USB ports not working. After contacting the company and getting a reply and telling me of some more troubleshooting to perform I never heard back from them after 2 subsequent emails they have ignored...

Claim Given that you have dashcam footage showing the pothole I think you have a decent case at least to claim your costs from the local council responsible. See here for details: Who Pays For My Tyre And Rim Damage After Hitting A Pot Hole? . Sure they will try to wiggle out of it but you...

fairly certain it’s a NO. Only Tesla does windscreen repairs with a dedicated team as they need to calibrate the sensors for autopilot after installation.

Be aware of several members on the Australian Facebook Tesla groups reporting that Tesla refused to fix their fear windscreens after heat cracks developed blaming the tint. They claim that the tint traps the heat at spots when the rear heating element is turned on and that concentrated heat...

I installed mine on Sunday and also encountered issues. I made sure I scratch the USB ports first as others have suggested however the Dashcam icon wouldn’t come up on the screen even though using the same ports would allow my wireless to work just fine. Eventually after several insertions and...

has it actually taken any exits correctly? More than 60% of the ones I tried failed. It’s on lanes too far from the exit and it thinks that’s the correct lane. In fact even if I physically go myself to the left most lane it wants to immediately change again to further AWAY from the exit. It’s...

Are you in Vic? I think they recently changed the rules last year to allow the rear to be down to 20% VLT. I’m debating whether to do that or stay at 30% to keep a uniform look with front windows? How do you feel about yours? Do you notice a big difference between front and back and would you...

@Lox24 thanks for that, great evidence. Can you please confirm that is with recirculating air TURNED OFF?

Yep NOA is a complete joke at the moment I’m afraid (and I’m on the latest 50.7 update). Here is what I’ve encountered thus far. -frequent and illogical lane changes. -Trying to change into a lane with slower traffic and even further away from an upcoming exit. -having incorrect number of lanes...

Yeah no idea. I ordered it from the US store and had it shipped via mail forwarding along with some other Tesla stuff. It is excellent and never had an issue with it. Well built. Figured I didn’t want to take chances with third party ones not playing nicely with future firmware as had happened...

You’re not the only one. Even the customers in the USA get equally appalling service from these guys. Just have a look at their twitter, and also the forums. Many many MANY people had waited months for products to ship, emails constantly going unanswered etc. Their product seems nice but I’m...

and it doesn’t even show the already active Moonee Ponds supercharger, am I right? Regardless of the errors, it seems like a very small update though, was hoping for a few more sites to be announced.

I think this will be awhile. Signs and road markings are very different for those of us outside of the USA and I suspect they need to train the neural net for all the different localities. If anything China and Europe would probably be a priority over tiny ICE filled backwater Australia.

Agreed. It displays the command perfectly yet doesn’t execute it dispite it being verbatim as those that work in the USA. I thought the voice issues were server side but surely if it identifies and correctly displays it on screen then the server side is working...UNLESS the commands to the car...

I don't know how they will ever learn that Auto High Beam is utterly useless but issues with Navigate On Autopilot etc are learned via your car uploading video clips and associated telemetry on a nightly basis to Tesla whenever you aggressively took control over from Autopilot. If you have a...

Yep that's the correct behaviour. I'm fairly certain even the US users have the same limitation as a safety precaution. Personally I have left "confirmation on lane change" on for little while until a few others test it NOA Australian conditions first. On my first drive with it yesterday I was...

40.50.1 update has apparently been pulled by Tesla. I thought it was a bit risky releasing a big update like that at Xmas! An important rule in software development is never release software during a time when you won’t be available to deal with bugs and major failures. I now suspect either...

yea Tesla is honouring the Homelink install for free and I had it done. If you don’t need it and plan to use it think whether you should bother though as they need to remove the front bumper and the funk and I have read (and have happened to me) of damage during the install.

@Zextraterrestrial what problem did you have? My detailer has offered to put Opti Glass on the windscreen for free but I’m thinking of telling him to put it on the sunroof instead. Not keen on affecting the wipers.

I’ve seen a few QLD members quote prices around there for QLD and from highly reputable detailers. I also was very surprised to see a price that low with tinting included as here in Melbourne the prices are at least 40-50% more for the same thing. It could be a QLD thing where they have to...

Yep tessie I agree. I’ve only had the car for 2months so there would have to be some design fault element to it as I have barely used the AC as there hasn’t been that much warm weather in Melbourne. Also there is a staggering amount of reports from USA users and plenty of YouTube videos so it is...

It’s mouldy/mildew like smell. There’s quite a few videos on YouTube showing how to get to the air cabin filters, remove them and then you can see the AC condenser coils and spray foam cleaner on it. it seems to have started a few weeks after I turned on “Cabin heat protection with AC On”...

I know this is a widely reported issue in the USA forums now that their cars have been out for a year but here I am in Australia and only 2months into ownership and my cabin stinks already. Anyone else have experienced it already in Oz? What AC foam cleaner have you used as many of the ones...

To be honest, very little. Much much less than I was expecting. I think it has a lot to do with the fact the car is so conventional looking from a lot of angles. I’ve had a lot more head turning from previous bmw and Mercedes that I have owned which had a much sportier look to them. Put...

Does anyone know if these cable organisers in Australia fit the Model 3? I presume they do given it is also Type 2 like the Model S/X? I don't see them on Tesla's website for Australia, how do we get them and how much are they?

I think features like traffic lights etc will be slow to roll out here given our traffic lights are fairly different to those in North America. Ultimately from a legislation perspective I can’t imagine Tesla is that restricted given that all the features, with the exception of smart summon...

I’d be VERY VERY careful turning off the continuous button pressing while summon is happening. I watched enough videos of smart summon on YouTube where the car literally almost drove into things including kerbs, walls and poles because there was a shadow or something that confused it. I’d...

there have been MANY others who had the same experience so beware. Just have a look at the forums and twitter for the number of people who waited for months, received nothing and wouldn’t even get replies to their emails. it seems Jeda as a Tesla accessory supplier is following the same...

Amen to that. The cars might be good but the their customer service is simply the worst I've ever encountered of any company....period... not just car companies... The seem to operate the business like a secret Ghost ship...keep customers in the dark, never answer phones or emails, try very hard...

I am sad to report that there is still no resolution! I have visited the service centre on multiple occasions and I’ve had to escalate the issue. Their recommended panel shop I took the car to did a quote, sent it to Tesla for approval and literally 24hrs later Tesla tells me “they have been...

WOW this is crazy. Are the warranty terms of other brands also like this? I mean can a manufacturer void your warranty just because a car was in an accident even when it was repaired by their own authorised repair centre? If this is true then to be honest you’d have to be silly to own a Tesla if...

How on earth could a 2 year old car that had at the time an 8 year warranty that has a battery problem be a user payable $50k expense?? That seems insane and I can’t see on what grounds they could possibly get away with that.

ahh isn’t it great to own a Tesla? I’m in the same boat. Other car brand owners get to pick up their brand new cars and go on a road trip. We get to book in the body shop and drop it in there for a few weeks to bring it back from a “well used 2nd hand car” to what it should have been.

How is producing the model Y, a car that Elon predicted is likely to outsell all of the other models by a big margin, going to improve customer service? Because they will make a lot of money out of it? They’ll have to deliver it first and their attempts in delivering the model 3 can only be...
