Last year my 2020 LR3 was insured with APIA for $961; this year they want $1165 (an increase of 21% - no claims etc). They also decreased the 'Amount Covered' by 10%. That all smells of daylight robbery. I have a replacement quote from Allianz for $880 with an increased 'Agreed Value'. Guess...

I'm looking for a front wiring harness for a Model 3 AWD LR (specifically ASY, HARN,FRONT,AP/EU,RHD,AWD,COIL 2567964-87-B). Tesla Australia seem unable to locate this part. Anyone know where I can source it?

Anyone going to TeslaCon in Austin 5 to 9 April?

How many Australian Tesla owners are posting via one of these?

Today and apparently yesterday, both Tritium units are down (no lights). If anyone finds them up, please post.

I realize this doesn't really belong here; it's just a link th the real thread that (hopefully) will describe the journey that @jbcarioca and I hope to start in the second week of September - see Plan to drive a Model 3 Performance across Canada and the US

This is definately worth a look Event Data Recorder

G'day, I have a problem with 3 phase Tesla connectors wired as single phase. Specifically those at RACV Noosa; I get 16 AMP but I notice Rod Peachey P100D gets 32 AMP. My Tesla is a '14 model S with a single charger. Anyone else have this problem?

It appears my TOCA membership has already expired. Can anyone think of a reason to renew this? All interactions with other Tesla owners are done on TMC (here), Tesla Australia (Slack) and Tesla Queensland (WhatsApp). I think, unless someone has a good reason for me to cough up more dollars...

Anyone noticed that a list of everyone who has used one's referral now appears on My Tesla?

On the recent Brisbane - Melbourne - Brisbane trip, the 'grab the wheel' popup irresistibly reminds me of 'Whack a Mole'. Sometimes I get a proper score (before the white surround) and some times a side (after the white); but always before the tone - after all who wants to be knocked out of the...

During June/July 2016, Tom from Sunnydale CA and I from Brisbane Australia swapped Teslas and homes for three weeks. This worked very well for both of us - see Home and Tesla swap . I am now interested in swapping to the UK or Ireland June/July 2017 - any takers?

Shut the front lid on an esky that was just a little too big. Lid caught on the first catch but wouldn't shut far enough for the second catch. Problem was: It wouldn't open either from the fob or screen. The screen indicated it was already open. Eventually sat on it and used the fob to open...

Went to autopark (parallel) yesterday; wife driving so I had a good view of the front corner. Parking behind a small truck with an extended tray just at the level of the top of the front corner. The car would have hit the back corner of the had we not aborted the park. The truck was a similar...

I have noticed that a lane change on autopilot always, unless you have moved the wheel in the last 20 seconds, prompts for a wheel grab. Now, while in the US recently and having driven a Model S for over 3000 miles, I didn't see that behaviour at all. Question (particularly to those who have...

Saw this in Sunnyvale, CA. Note the sticker on the window.

We just got back to Sunnyvale CA after a week long trip to Vegas, Grand Canyon, LA and back to Sunnyvale. Added over 3,000 km to Tom's P85D. Was a good run except for a total car failure on day 1. The lane holding (AP) doesn't work as well here as in Oz. Good fun cruising down the freeways at...

We had a test drive in a Model X today with the following impressions compared to our S: Was a bit rougher but that could have been the low profile tyres. Was quieter that the P85D we are using here but similar to our 85. Son (at 188 cm) complains of hitting head in the S didn't have that...

ORIAS People's Choice Award 2016

The following is a small treatise on Australian charging I have written for a gentleman from the US who is about to borrow my car.

With all this discussion of long distance driving, I have a technical question for those of you who know a bit about Solar Panels (I don't as I currently live in an apartment and nowhere to put any). Is there any way to connect (how many) panels together to produce circa 40 AMP, 240 V AC so...

This is the first year of the cost comparison - watch this space.

As reported in Forbes, "Tesla Model S is the best selling luxury car in Western Europe, accelerating past traditional high-status and internal combustion engine powered favorites like the Mercedes S class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8 and Porsche Panamera. In 2015, according to British-based newsletter...

We are looking at journeying out Stanthorpe way over easter. Does anyone know of any charging facilities out that way?

Just had minor work that entailed welding done to the Model S by Kassulkes Smash Repairs at Everton Hills. They did a good job and quite reasonably priced. BTW: Tesla Australia also had a tail light in stock in Sydney. Now - if I just stop running into things...

Charged today at Coffs Harbour showground. Need to ring ahead on 02 6652 8401 to "book" as all the power outlets are locked to control the Grey Nomads. Used the Tesla UMC with the three phase adaptor.

While driving along a straight 2 km stretch of suburban road in Brisbane today, the little red arrow car icon just went in circles in one place - most strange. https://plus.google.com/u/0/107631671374825180371/posts/Q1kzZ5sSA5x?pid=6203916089714563154&oid=107631671374825180371

It's now 12 months since the announcement of Autopilot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ6lZJWL_Xk Wonder when we'll see it.

Thank you to the kind lady who donated Tim Tams to me. Currently devouring same with a bottle of Chardonay.

Not really a Connect topic but I am looking for someone interested in a Home and Tesla swap June/July 2016. I am in Brisbane Australia and am looking to spend the three weeks before Connect next year in the US. Anyone interested we can meet at Connect this year and talk about it.

In the Right Hand Drive Model S there is a hard piece of trim next to the accelerator (see photo). When one floors the accelerator wearing shoes with an "edge", that edge will get stuck under the trim (see photo 2). and one will head for the horizon at a great speed - BEWARE!

5000 km is just coming up (4960 since I took delivery) in two months and used 'prox 1 megawatt hour of charge. Real 'joie de vivre'; always looking for an excuse to drive (something I haven't done in years). I have driven well over one million km and owned many vanilla thru exotic vehicles but...

Anyone know of any charging facilities near Albury/Wodonga. I intend to drive from Brisbane to Melbourne for the Richmond opening and have Brisbane to Sydney covered but have a problem on the Sydney to Melbourne leg.

I'm off to the TMC Connect Conference 10-12 July. Anyone else from here?

Received the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter on Friday and showed it off at the meet on Sunday. I have just returned from Tritium in Brisbane where I tested same by connecting to one of their Veefil fast DC chargers. Battery was nearly full; it charged at (if memory serves) 146 KM/H.

After the initial install when the main unit was behind the mirror, the GPS just didn't work. Installer scanned the screen with a Garmin Nav to determine where (inside) the GPS signal was at maximum. Unit installed as per photo. Seems to work fine now. Ray

For those of you around Brisbane.

or estimate range better.

Is anyone using EVR3 - TYPE 2 - MAX 22 KW from e-station store and care to comment on it? http://www.e-station-store.com/en/portable-charging-stations/36-evr3-type-2-max-22-kw.html Thank you, Ray
