Kim Java noted the V4 superchargers she visited in US had V3 cabinets that could be upgraded later. Maybe they aren't available yet.

I did similar damage to the top edge of the trunk (without spoiler). A body shop in Wollongong quoted me $800. If it involves the sharp bend in the metal, I think it's much harder to work the dent out.

Seems his main points are: - the Tesla rep was too helpful - the car accelerates too well - the touchscreen has too many features So its not mediocre enough for the weekend Australia?

From MKBHD's recent video, every spare mm of cable is important for certain non-tesla EVs trying to charge at superchargers.

It's only been open about a year.

My wife says service at Miranda has been great this year, quite different to Alexandria actually.

In the end, they are very similar cars. They basically took the 3 and elongated it in the z axis, making it a bit bigger, a bit slower and a bit more expensive.

Took my first helicopter ride this morning in Wollongong so I'm only a beginner photographer from the sky. This is what we saw from above.

This compares to 100A single phase or 63A three phase for Endeavour energy in Urban NSW. If the problem is cost of transmission over large distance for relatively few customers, they should quickly ramp up local solar/wind/battery networks to cut out the long transmission problem.

Android 5 won't be receiving security updates anymore and the risk of someone exploiting this to gain access to your car just wouldn't be worth the risk for Tesla. You can imagine the negative publicity.

I saw a car carrier truck coming out of Port Kembla this week loaded with teslas.

The LUFTT LHC209 are popular amongst youtubers testing the HEPA claims but they've been out of stock for months if not longer

I'm coming around to the new interface quite quickly. Personally, I think the speedo display area is less cluttered and easier to quickly read as you're driving. A few small other positive improvements: there's now a search button for music when the player is in it's shortest height mode...

Energy Made Easy will give you a pricing comparison based on your actual data if you know your NMI

Interesting they've used the words "grow our footprint" in their press release. I'll be churning too.

Maybe there's a microfactory upstairs to make cars just for Canberra.

If it's basically a given that all cars are going electric in the medium future, probably fair that any building electrical upgrade cost is shared amongst all apartment owners and then everyone can install a charger when they need to. Saying that, I live in a house so probably unfair for me to...

The state Govts need to find a way to stop body corps objecting. The only large issue they should concerned about is if the building itself needs an electrical upgrade as it can't handle the extra amps from the charger(s). Then it's a question of who's going to pay for it.

In regard to having the car plugged in when not in use, I think they are mainly worried about it being unplugged for an extended period, accidently or otherwise so that the battery completely discharges. The other caveat though is it also needs to keep the 12V battery charged though you would...

The video yesterday from the Tesla crash lab shows how innovative they are, even behind the scenes. Rather than just maximising the govt crash test scores, they are closing the loop between simulated and real world data from all crash types, vehicle design and airbag/seatbelt operation and...

I'd say accelerating the transition to renewable energy and electric transportation is very important to the country. I don't know what's to be gained by a large time gap between assuming someone is honest and checking the facts of what they are saying. It's not a moot point that you don't live...

https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/wall-connector-eu/20161208/tesla-32a-wall-connector-installation-manual-en-AU-v2.pdf Here's the manual though I couldn't see anything about legacy mode. Page 19 talks about the DIP switches - the one it says to always leave up looks like the one to...

Not to plug the ferry but...... you can take your car for free for the next few months.

Alexandria service confirmed this is worldwide, not just US.

We've been a 2 EV household for a few months now - very nice not to go to the service station at all. I use to dread going there just to get petrol for the lawn mower until I got the 82V victa which I find much better to use. Swapping out the battery half way through the mowing takes 10 seconds.

It may be that the 3s have been superseded by the 4s. MICHELIN PRIMACY 4 ST 245/45R19 102W Tyres | Tyresales

If you want a DIY approach, this is likely the part you need to replace: OEM Tesla Model S Door Handle Paddle Gear 1042845-00-b Replacement Part for sale online | eBay There'll be youtube videos on how to do it.

The coat hooks in the frunk also went around this time.

Mine was $3700 about 12 months ago - they were instock in Syd at the time. 6 weeks out of warranty - still had to pay. You could find someone to do this for you:

Thanks, I didn't realise they do this.

Has anyone successfully imported or bought touch up paint for model 3 aero wheels? The American forums talk about Duplicolor's AFM0360 (or BFM0360) - doesn't seemed to be stocked anywhere in Oz and Amazon don't ship anything here. 1 place on ebay will ship it here for about $60. Tesla's paint...

From vague memory, Mobileye has a patent on speed sign reading that Elon didn't want to pay them for anymore and has yet to find a workaround

I think speed sign reading ceased when Tesla stopped using the mobile eye system. It's currently using GPS/speed database. The feature should come back one day ..... soon.

In most circumstances, I don't think it's legal to import a used car into Australia.

Personally, I've never understood why so many people like SUVs. I'd recommend the 3 now if you can afford it. I'm not an accountant though I've found there usually isn't a benefit in buying a car through a business vs privately due to fringe benefits tax. When I applied for loan with Pepper's...

Thought I'd share some exciting shortcuts I discovered. I admit I haven't read the manual start to finish so they might be in there. - Tapping the album art cycles though the sizes of the music player - saves having to scroll it up and down with your finger. - Tapping the speed limit changes...

He has this at SpaceX with Gwynne Shotwell and it seems to work so well over there.

The other advantage of this location is when you're travelling to Tas on the ferry - can charge just prior. It's interesting to look back 3.5 years when the 4th closest supercharger was in Hong Kong.

Chuq's post at the bottom of page 1 of this thread shows a right hand turn lane planned but who knows if or when it will happen

They gave me a reasonable price. I could have got 60k myself privately if I held out. All the time wasters and mucking around was doing my head in a bit.

This was actually my car that I was selling on carsales and gave up. Sold it to pickles who had better luck it seems. Wasn't water damaged in the frunk - I think they were just very keen with their cleaning. Now patiently waiting for my P3D-

Berry Supercharger | Tesla Australia

The Berry supercharger is open now so you should be able to do this no problem.

My wife told me the same thing today.

I'm aiming to sell my 2014 S 85 privately soon. Have ordered a 3. Personally prefer the smaller car.

By my calcs, the 1500km free supercharging by referral is worth about $110
