    Good luck! before you go, play some bass heavy music and whilst its playing hold down the window switch (underneath where you open/close window) with some pressure, the rattle should stop if this is your issue as doing this stopped it for me and I was able to reproduce this as source on...

    ok for example this is where the steering wheel gets me, exiting my work car park, i have to swing the steering wheel around to do almost a full turn, the wheel is facing upside down, and I have to indicate to go right, I always get confused and indicate left instead haha so situations like...

    yeah going back n forward swiping gears screen is super easy and I love the buttons too buuttt i see where both could work for example quick manouvering requirements busy street wanting to do 3 point turn, way faster to use stalk with muscle memory vs looking up to ensure in correct gear And...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    For me they fixed the steering wheel issue by removing the wheel and "retorqing" it and te passenger door rattle was the window switch which was loose which they replaced or fixed Both are good now, no noises from either of these, only thing left is my damn creaky centre armrest when I lean on...

    yeah late means delaying braking as long as possible, which is what I use. Still though I'm super paranoid on auto pilot in some areas, like I fear with dodgy lanes on some highways (always roadworks in NSW) the Tesla might get confused and steer into a barrier at 100km/hr haha so can't exactly...

    ahhhh i had that exact same noise! When I first got my car I had this noise, then after 1000kms it just disappeared, mentioned it on service booking but then by time booking came it was gone, and has never come back. Suspect some debris or something was loose in there flappin about, after...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    oh noo, post some vids of the noise if ya can, be good to compare what noise it was, as I had the creak on turning my wheel which they fixed ever since they fixed mine, its been good, only heard it once or twice reversing out my driveway and turning at the same time and when the car is cold (ie...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    This might be due to thumb placement, perhaps you are resting thumbs over the haptic buttons so when you attempt to "press" it doesn't register and it feels already on there. Test with thumbs away from indicators and only put them there to indicate and lift away see if happens?

    on the screen swiping front, I was starting to get annoyed at times like reversing out of shopping center carparks or doing 3point turns etc.. but since the new update, they have improved its responsivness, made the swipe area smaller for focused, so less prone to mis-swipes or non-registers...

    no don't think so, all I can set is one figure for home charging, and seasons, but no idea how I would even configure seasons Basically want it to calculate and say 8c/kwhr 12-6am daily, and 0c/kwhr 11am-2pm daily don't think the app can do this

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    They need to add in a free period, I've done 2500KMS and it says I've used $35 (8c/kw cost) but 50% of that is done charging during the free period so 0c/kw. So its more like I've only spent $17 in "fuel" these last3 months, which is insane I've also pocketed a few grand, because me being an...
