Tried 14°, it accepted the slope. Went to 15° and got the alert. Can’t vouch for accuracy, just the iPhone level on the front centre armrest.

Park on an incline above a certain angle and…

Saw another Highland in CNS the other day. 1100km from the nearest supercharger.

Can confirm. Tested that on my big trip. I took my sunnies off for a bit while freeway cruising in autosteer. Leant down to plug my phone into usb and got a strike 1/5 for autopilot misuse! “Autosteer disabled for the rest of this drive”

CBR-SYD-BNE-ROK-CNS Trip Cost for charging with a mixture of Superchargers then Chargefox north of Rocky, Canberra to Cairns was $89. (!) Equivalent ICE trip at say 7L/100km would’ve been $420. Started with 100%, final was 20%, so add another ~50kWh. I managed to get that last bit free at a...

I am withholding judgement of the missing indicator stalk until I have a fair bit more time with it. That said, I do think Tesla may have made a slight error with this design. You have to take your eyes off the road in many (not all) cases and we don’t all drive around with our indicator...

Turn indicators will auto-off most of the time when turning or making a lane change.

I’m also finding that not being able to go full screen in the browser is not an easy fix. One solution was to open the YouTube app, sign in to your Google account, click on the blue “manage my account” link. From there you can access the 9 dot menu at the top right of the page, all the Google...

I’ve done 6100km over 33 days in the 2024 M3H RWD. Shifting on the screen? Easy. Autopilot with a press of the scroll wheel? Easy. Indicating? Still have to take my eyes off the road occasionally to first, position my hand, then make sure my thumb hits the (too small IMO) target and press to...

Hi Aussie TSLA Highland owners, I would like to share what I have experienced with a recent drive from Canberra to Cairns.The distance covered was around 3000km over 3.5 days. For those that have not done much driving in QLD, the Bruce Highway is of varying quality, with very little in the way...

Submitted QLD final rebate forms on Tuesday 29/1. Money in the bank yesterday. So only 2 days! 😲 amazeballs Mind you they needed very precise detail, blood type, DNA, number of teeth, toilet habits etc 😆

The LR seemed very attractive at first, I definitely considered it. The extra range would be nice for longer road trips. AWD etc In the end opted for the RWD as it’s stupidly powerful enough! I could see myself getting into trouble with all that extra grunt, not to mention the temptation of...

So I’ve had my M3 RWD for 3 weeks now. Just went over 3000km. One small stone chip on the bonnet, one nasty chip on the pax windscreen, (repaired). Had to put acceleration back to chill before I get a ticket. 131 Wh/km avg.

Speaking of driving a glass-roof Highland around Australia in summer, does anyone know what the best sunshade for the Model 3 is? Tesla shop not showing anything available yet.

It is a phenomenal car so far. One of the most amazing things is the basic autopilot. On the freeway, you set speed and auto-steer, then just get comfy and watch the world go by. The armrests enable you to just hold the wheel with one relaxed hand to keep the nag at bay. The lack of fatigue I...

Yeah, I’ve had a lot of interested Tesla owners coming for a chat. One guy looked at it for a long time and just said “it’s beautiful” 😆 Most common question? “How do you find the indicators?”

The ultra red is not very common down here in NSW… Maiden voyage Bris-Syd-Canberra. This would have to be the only Highland in Canberra right now? I do feel sorry for you guys who have had VINs taken back. Very difficult to deal with.

I’ve driven the 2022 RWD for a week. Absolutely loved it. I have also driven the Highland RWD for 30min. Apart from the indicator thing, which will be just a brain re-train , I loved it more. It was noticeably quieter. The drivetrain seems smoother. Being so quiet, the seat ventilation fans...

I always thought I would never get personalised plates. But I just bought 😝red slimline QLD plates with R3D3 for the ultra red M3. I figured theyll be useful when I get my blue M3 Perf in 2026.

Speaking of accessories, anyone had any experience with a Tesla tow hitch. I would assume after-market in Oz. eg https://myteslaaccessories.com.au/products/model-3-towbar?variant=47353062162744

https://rav.infrastructure.gov.au/ For those who would like to check a VIN without being spammed.

That would be good to know, Where could I find the build date other than the final invoice? Does the VIN hold the build month somewhere? After looking at the invoice paperwork, it seems you might be right about the non-US date format. The invoice date is in Australian format, so the build date...

I’m assuming my build date is 12th Sept 2023. (12/9/23 not 9/12/23) Ordered on 15th December. Maybe one of the first Shanghai highlands perhaps. Bit of a concern, although I will give them the benefit of the doubt after many years of production of the previous model 3…

Aaaaaand The Don Juan has left Brisbane headed for Port Kembla. That was disturbingly quick. Is that normal? 😬 ps how do you make images smaller on this forum?

It’s not over until you take your first drive. I am prepared for a stink bug calamity. I also only ordered on Dec 15th and have a VIN and a delivery date of less than two weeks. 10th January - 31st Jan

Don Juan car carrier has now docked in the Port of Brisbane. I have a red one of these on board. Heres hoping there are no stink bugs found or I will feel like a 5 year old who has been told “christmas is cancelled”
