Aus model y owners manual, unfortunately nothing about seven seat option so far :-( https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_au/ At least it has a towing section

If you scroll down NSW also publishes new registration data which is a much closer proxy for sales. Tesla is 1545 of 98314 light vehicle sales ~1.6% YTD 2021. Almost the same as Lexus at 1549. BEV‘S are at 2220 or 2.3%

Australian smart charging trial prepares for EV growth - ARENAWIRE

So maybe it would be best to introduce this tax on EV’s now, as it is politicaly easier than placing on all cars, in preparation for the long term need and compensate with something like removing stamp duty on EV’s?

I think he is not that unusual in his opinion, there are many others, but he is unusual in being outspoken and appearing to have the support of his leader.

My unscientific observation is they adjust pricing once a 5c threshold has been maintained ie below 65c for x weeks so price change. I don’t expect the price to change until we are above 70c for a few weeks. Also they tend to change the price once deliveries have been completed from the last...

The technology has existed for a long time (Octopus card in Hong Kong launched in 1997), sad that it has taken so long in so many markets. At least mobile systems should replace it. I actually hope Elon can use Starlink as a backbone for a second attempt at banking (x.com) and this time he can...

My understanding at the moment is our model Y will come from Giga Berlin and production is not due to start till 2021. Unless we get ours from China or US I can’t see us getting it till late 2021 at the earliest. This Recent post on Reddit indicates that standard range Y is not due till 2022...

My understanding is that trucks don’t like it as it is hard to see cars in their blind spot, probably not as big an issue now many trucks have rear camera’s but still not polite. Any loss of efficiency from a car (if real, fluid dynamics is a black art) is probably not noticeable to the rig...

Haha after comment above a few hours ago I now come across this article Electrons, not molecules: How Victoria should dodge gas shortfall | RenewEconomy

Disappointing that there is no mention of reducing gas demand rather than only increasing supply,. We need to modernise and move demand from gas to electricity, especially when matched with solar supply. Electricity prices will reduce due to plunging solar costs and battery prices will reduce...

Good luck! Some threads you may want to check Tesla Model 3 around Australia Perth to Adelaide revisited Anticlockwise Adventure! Sylvia Round Australia in Bluey ! Round Australia List! (put your name down if keen / serious)

Great, hopefully they enable an option to charge from excess solar only soon too.

Shortage of level 2 electricians due to fires/storms and other work. This tweet thread gives some background Evan Beaver on Twitter

The first post in this thread indicates it is a petrol station to be constructed, I think this is still the case.

Seems Fremont production may stop so there may not be anything to sell for a while regardless of the exchange rate

Very interesting. I wonder if many in the US\Canada are waiting for a RAV4 Hybrid and order a model Y to see which comes first?

Thanks Miggy, I didn’t know the source of this data Vostok, not sure if you know that NZ has a large used car import market from Japan. For EV’s this has lead to used Nissan leafs being by far the biggest proportion of EV’s on the road (more than half of all EV’s I think) also see evtalk...

I have reentered several times inside (and outside) an hour but not stayed more than three hours total in a day and I have not been charged for this. edit: I think it was also uni students taking advantage of a free hour to exit and re-enter. I have not tried staying more than 3 hours in a...

Shouldn’t be an issue. Maybe charge in shopping malls during lunch/coffee breaks or waiting for next appointment. Lots of malls in Sydney have EV chargers now and this will only increase moving forward. Worth checking a few likely places beforehand to make sure where they are and you will most...

Has this been asked at the quarterly/agm? I would have thought they will have some news by now. There was a recent rumour of a 100kwh missing 2(?) modules that could be a drop in replacement for affected 85’s.

Hopefully it is the 6 old ones from St Leonard’s with 4 new V3 chargers. Maybe they can change the old ones to ~70kW each so people get a bit longer to shop. V3 is great for anyone needing a fast charge because they have an urgent errand or passing through. Slower charge great if you plan to...

can’t you just turn the grid connection off and walk around and test the lights and powerpoints? Hopefully you haven’t connected the powerwall to the hot water and oven circuit only ;-0

3 months maybe, 6 months definitely ;) (Old ref: Elon Musk on Twitter hehe)

I think the sound issue would have been exacerbated by testing alongside the EQC which by all accounts I have seen is possibly the quietest production car ever. It is also correspondingly heavy and not very efficient which are not a big issue for its target market.

Thanks, I wondered if they would do that. I was thinking they would still need to run the power cables/conduit and have an area fenced off for this. I was going there for lunch so not out of my way. I drive past around once a fortnight.

I just drove past the Vallet parking section at lunch time, I couldn't see anything but I guess if someone goes and charges they could ask the Vallet's? As usual lots of spots available in that area, not so many in other places but not busy today as school is back and Uni hasn't started.

The SR in the US was originally to have a smaller charger but I don’t think it happened and all model 3 have the same charger in AU to my knowledge. Home Charging Installation Single phase 32A 50km/h charge rate, 3 phase 16A 75km/h

Hey Vostok, just so you know the model 3 does not have a heater like the S/X and gen 1 Leaf. It uses waste heat from the motor to heat the cabin and can run the motor in a different (inefficient) mode to generate heat. So with a model 3 in cold weather it is best to preheat before unplugging...

Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Korean... interesting.

it was 1 year for LR (premium interior) cars and nothing more SR/SR+, but they gave (at least) 30 days when V10 was released.

you can add ?redirect=no to the URL to stop almost all redirects, then you don’t need a VPN. Connectivity

the advantage is safety, hopefully Tesla release a gen 2 3 phase MC either soon or at the latest with the Cybertruck/Semi.

Of course not on rotors or pads, of course by someone who knows what they are doing.

Press hard on then off the brakes a few times. You can also try driving slow in forward/reverse with the windows open and listen for the brakes rubbing (or get someone outside to listen). Of course a mechanic can check this easily as well. There are some maintenance videos mentioning them...

is a brake pad rubbing? Does the car pull left or right on a flat surface? Maybe pump the breaks and see if it frees?

more likely their procurement team is trying to negotiate a discount on spare parts from Tesla, not realising that others have jacked up the standard price so they can discount but Tesla is cheaper even without their big customer ‘discount’.

I was just about to post the same, even weirder most of the pictures are LHD but some like page 33 are correct?

pricing is a dark art (along with most marketing). I am not alone, a few others have commented the same here Tesla just updated prices, increasing Model 3 by $500 : teslamotors as I mentioned they could introduce a range increase but really lots of outcomes are possible. If they start model Y...

exactly, the theory is they have raised the price now so they can reduce it after the tax change like they have done previously. Also means they can offer ‘discounts’ on any inventory cars before the end of the year if needed.

I was thinking Waitara/Hornsby but not exactly lower north shore... near Campbelltown and Eastern Creek would also be good

I wouldn’t be surprised if white becomes an option (early) next year. White has always been production constrained and limited to P at first release. White was popular in UK so not offered here at first but some important customers complained and it was added to P. It seems most of the backlog...

The article below describes the gen 2 MC and why for safety the max current was reduced from 40A to 32A. I think for the same reason the ANZ 10A and 15A plugs were reduced to 80% ie 8A and 13A. The new ANZ plugs probably also support the temperature sensing and current reduction. This is a good...

Because they can and nobody with authority has told them to stop?

i think @paulp is indicating the forward and reverse are a functions of the motor and are not gears, although the selector is easily confused as the same as D and R in an ICE auto. Tesla I believe have reduction gears to change the rpm of the motor to that required to drive the wheels sensibly...

Looking at the photo I am starting to think they will replace the current 5 spots with 4 charging spots.

Thankyou TeeThreee for sharing you trip. Your “lessons learned” blogpost is a must read for anyone interested in taking their Tesla off the DC charging routes. Do you think having a 22kW onboard charger would have changed your trip much? I assume it would have meant you could have traveled more...
