    2023 Model Y RWD, LFP battery: Initial range at 418 instead 445 km

    Speaking of mud flaps, has anyone seen any that fit in FRONT of the front wheels? (I used to have these on my Mercedes and BMW's in the past). What they do is help prevent water from being sent forward when you hit a puddle, and then flying up on to the windshield. This happened to me twice...

    2023 Model Y RWD, LFP battery: Initial range at 418 instead 445 km

    My 2022 Model Y SR (chinese built with CATL LFP battery) showed 420km when new, and after 27,000km, is now showing 421. It is very strange that yours is so low IMO... I keep mine on trickle charge every night, and most mornings it is at 100% (i.e. a lot more than the recommended once per...

    Tesla Electric in Australia

    I've been in the Melbourne Australia VPP since its inception a few years ago. Originally I was with AGL / Tesla VPP, now switched to Amber (wholesaler) / Tesla VPP. I'm looking forward to Tesla Electricity and Tesla Insurance even more !!!

    ChargeFox Barnarwartha

    I have used this site regularly (4 times in one year). As an NRMA (blue) member they give me a 20% discount, dropping the price per kWh from 60c to 48c. I have now upgraded to full NRMA membership after getting by Tesla Model Y (RWD) bogged in Melbourne (neighbours front yard). :-(

    ChargeFox EV charging Network

    1. There was no-one at the SC site. 2. We didn't know it was going to be -4C and ice all over the car. We were planning to leave at 5am, and expected cold (just not sub zero!)

    ChargeFox EV charging Network

    I used the Tesla App / Climate / Defrost car a weeks ago at a Motel where it was -4C and the car had 5mm of ice all over it. It sucked 6kWh to clear, and precondition (via the scheduler) to go 2km to the SuperCharger. Filled to 100% the night before, and filled to 100% again in the morning due...

    Find lost keys via RFID?

    From my experience using an NFC ring on my finger, my Model Y is NOT always listening (or transmitting). No amount of tapping on the B pillar will open the car BUT... I've found if I press my thumb on the door handle, the car wakes up, the screen is awake, and now my NFC ring works every time...

    Tesla moments

    I just bought my wife a Ryobi One+ 18 volt Lithium Ion battery powered electric mower, and she loves it. Why? because it has to be carted up 10 steps to get to our new home rear lawn. Price was also good(ish) at AU$299. Once we move into the new house, I'll sell my gas powered YardMaster self...

    Model S 60D upgraded for free to 75?

    Not only was it great publicity, but it pushed the shares $20 higher on the day, (and now broken the all time record). (Lucky me) ;-)

    It is no bargain in Australia. The charge rate is AU$0.35c/kWh :-(

    The AGL all you can charge $1 a day deal and the Wall connector

    Anyone thought about using the $1 a day to fill a PowerWall? My guess is that it would be a lot cheaper than installing solar panels!

    Just the fact that you mentioned this is a worry :-( But you are right... There's no guarantee the Model 3 WILL be SC compatible. Mind you, it would be pretty dumb if it wasn't. GH

    Tesla PowerWall thoughts...

    This is a subject dear to my heart, even though I haven't got my Tesla yet... I only have a 2Kw solar array (biggest I could fit on the roof) all North facing, with no shadowing, located in Melbourne. (Av 5 hours sun/day) I also managed to get the PFIT (Premium Feed In Tariff) on the very last...

    Australian Car Show Poster

    People who say EV's are just as bad as ICE's probably live in the Latrobe Valley (the location of Australia's most polluting power stations, burning brown coal). They also probably have not heard of a thing called Solar Panels installed on roof-tops.

    I made this location suggestion to Tesla about 3 or 4 months ago. It is a wiser choice than Seymour IMO Regards, Greg.

    Tesla idles Fremont production line for Model X upgrade

    My thought: If they were/are supply constrained by a lack of batteries, why on earth would they be building commercial battery backup units (i.e. the big brothers to the PowerWall) ? GH

    Model S RHD Pedal positioning

    Sorry, I have to disagree. There are numerous examples (on youtube) of race car drivers using right foot to heel/toe AND left foot on the clutch, or using the right foot on the gas, and left foot on or over the brake to dab the brakes entering a corner to settle the car. It is not dangerous...

    Model S RHD Pedal positioning

    Personally, I have been driving 2 feet for over 10 years now, and the advantages are numerous... It tates 'time' to lift off, move foot left, apply brake. (may be worse if brake pedal is higher than accelerator pedal. If you are reading the road ahead, you can pre-position your left foot over...

    Supercharger - Goulburn NSW

Nothing on the SC map though. I've just emailed him to send me the links, as I can't find anything on Google. Anyone...

    I'd like to see DC's in every Westfield and Stockland Shopping Center. Between them, they cover most of Oz. I have already spoken to Stockland at 'The Pines' in Doncaster East Vic, but I feel they need further prodding. The message needs to go to the top... Cheers, Greg.

    Is it Conceivable to Go Back to ICE After Driving a Tesla?

    That could easily be mistaken for the new Model S coupe. (Apart from those round tube things at the rear)... ;-) - - - Updated - - - These are the same reasons I am waiting for the M3X. Hopefully Elon & crew will realize they can sell more small SUV's than sedans, and produce the small SUV first.

    My 2 day old P85D suddenly died in the middle of an intersection

    I've had the exact problem of dying in the middle of an intersection with both a BMW and a Mercedes. Only once for each, and never figured out why - but it was very disconcerting.

    Tesla on 4 Corners "The End of Coal"

    Brown Model S 85 for Sale

    Don't count on the normal depreciation if used Tesla prices are 'set' by Tesla used sales division. I read somewhere the price is basically RRp - $1 for each mile driven. (Km= .70 maybe ?) Based on this, Byorn Nyland from Norway would be paying you 80k to take his away ;-) GH

    Elon Tweet regarding LTE

    G'Day Ray. The only correct answer is the North Pole. You can't head 'South' from the South Pole. If you change the question to : I go 1 km North, one km West and one km South. I end up at my starting point. Where am I? The only possible location is the South Pole, and not the North Pole.
