    TOCA Membership

    Hey Ray Sorry to hear you're unhappy with TOCA. We're a new club, yet to even have our first AGM. But in the time that we've been begun, we've held over 40 events, have established the loan adaptor program (so members do not have to buy adaptors) and the co-pilot program (for newbie owners with...

    Thanks @DJung - just heard the same from someone else and was going to let @Electric Joe know too. I do have a work order open on the car.

    Ioniser

    The day I picked up my wondrous Tesla, I noted I felt nauseous with the air conditioner on. The delivery specialist knew what it was: the ioniser. Sure enough we switched off the function in the controls and the nausea went away. In the recent heat as my city moves to summer, I noted the same...

    Thanks so much for the offer @austinEV but we're looking for transport on the Sunday - one Aussie to Menlo Park and the other to San Francisco. I'm trying to fix the message blocking, but no joy yet!

    Charging on Tariff 31

    I don't know what tariff31 is, but in the ACT the EV tariff runs similar hours (though different times each night) and I'm paying 9.13c /kWh. 32amp maximum.

    Poll: Short tall or long low Model 3?

    Can't I have short and low? I don't want a long wheel base. The S is the longest car I've had and I hope the 3 (which I plan to get) is indeed shorter as promised. I don't want a tall car though, as I prefer to sit closer to the road.

    To D or not to D

    I've had a 70D for three months and due to a repair, I'm now driving a 70. I like cars that are tight and responsive to drive, and the 70D is so much better than the 70. Traction feels better as well. I'm not an engineer so won't join that discussion, just adding my two cents as a driver who...

    I hit a roo and the "active hood" deployed

    Forgot to add: the indicator light is on for the airbags. So maybe, while they weren't deployed, they also need to be reset.

    I hit a roo and the "active hood" deployed

    As explained to me, the car drives completely normally in this mode. Only the aesthetics are affected (and there's a slight increase in car noise, and also I suspect the aerodynamics is affected a little).

    I hit a roo and the "active hood" deployed

    Ok - questions answered below. - I heard no explosion Dborn. The service centre didn't mention pyrotechnics (fireworks on board?! :) - no Colina I don't think the active hood reduced damage to the car. There's a crimp in the nose's paintwork (and a bent plate) but that's it. I think active hood...

    I hit a roo and the "active hood" deployed

    Two kangaroos jumped in front of me today and I hit one. Broke its leg, poor thing, but it still managed to hide so I couldn't find it to tell the injured wildlife people. Anyway, the hood (windscreen side only) raised a few centimetres and I got an "active hood deployed - call Tesla service"...

    My last ICE was the Audi Quattro and after the all-wheel drive there I couldn't imagine going back. Same with the glass roof. Both are must-haves for me now.

    Model S Insurance in Australia

    Insurance seems to be just as much tied to the individual's details (address, parking type, history) as the car itself. I've seen people get 'cheapest' quotes from each of the insurers - there's no one size fits all apparently here.
