Jolt now up to 24 sites in Adelaide. 3 sites recently added in Norwood council region. Interestingly listed as NOR001, NOR003 and NOR004. This would suggest there should be a NOR002 coming.

Nothing on app

Someone has changed PlugShare status from under construction to active but i cant see any posts on PlugShare or elsewhere to confirm that anyone has successfully charged. It is also not showing up on the Tesla app.

Tesla Owners of South Australia. Comment today on the original post from 20 Sep

As per Facebook the superchargers should be activated later today.

Other symptoms were glitching of the MCU ( areas freezing/ slow maps etc). When the MCU failed the car was still drivable albeit without any of the controls on the MCU and for some reason with no indicators (at first i thought it might be just no electrical sound of the indicator but i confirmed...

My mid 2017 Model X is experiencing the same thing. Not only in the morning but other times of day as well. I had a similar issue with Model S and then the MCU failed. After the MCU was fixed the problem resolved. I am wondering if was just a coincidence or if it is a warning that the MCU is...

Someone posted on Facebook that they have received first HW3 upgrade in Australia. I have put in a service request for HW3 and the local service centre have ordered the part and made appointment for Jan 2021.

There are some relatively cheap online options for Tesla lug nut removal but I came across this useful device which works well. The plastic device sits on the back of Lenovo desktop computer VDUs. I am not sure what it is for but it usually falls off. With some minor sanding to the sharp tips...

Why dont you aske an electrician to wire a 32 amp to a Tesla HPWC. Then you can plug this into your 32 amp plug and also take it with you if you move or if you are traveling.

Dual exhaust pipes and fuel cap visible. Not electric and not plugged in. Sheer arrogance I am afraid. I agree though that EV drivers can also be EVholes.

World first as all of South Australia's power comes from solar panels

I have a 3 year old model X 75D. After around 50000 km i am getting a maximum useable battery capacity of around 62 kwh. I complained to Tesla and they replied that as long as I am getting at least 70% battery capacity out to 8 years or 240000 km they are not really interested.

Then there is the arrogant self entitled driver.

Thanks for all the advice which allowed me to make it from Adelaide to Alice in a Model X 75D. I only seem to get just over 60kw/hr out of the battery from 100% to close to 0% so there were some long charging breaks but we made it safely. I went with the options of overnight charging at Port...

A bit scary but we put our trust in PlugShare.

1. Covid is not an excuse. These upgrades were paid for well before Covid and Tesla is continuing to manufacture. 2. The best action would be a group action. Tesla have responded to group action by owners in the past such as the European action on CCS upgrades.

I would think that if you activate Camp Mode the 12V feed should remain on.

SA require all EV first registered after 1 Jan 2019 to have specific EV number plates and they also sell stickers for those with EV registered prior to this to add to their plates. Thus SA motor vehicles dept should be able accurate data on EV from 1/1/19 forward as well as any sales of EV...

3.5 years down the track from my initial thoughts about this trip and now I will be finally making the trek to the Red Centre in a few weeks time. The plan is Adelaide to Alice the then Alice to Kings Canyon/ Yulara and back to Adelaide over around 2 weeks. I am taking a 75D Model X with 20 inch...

Has anyone had issues with iphone linking on V10? I can’t seem to initiate calls from the car (by voice or from the mcu) although if I make the call from the phone it will play through the car speakers.

Day 1 reservation but S and X fill the 2 car garage and I dont want to park on the street. I am holding on to my reservation as the banks are not offering anything of interest anyway and one day i will have a bigger garage or fsd will eventuate which will make AP1 fully redundant.

Did you also purchase FSD? This is a waiting for Godot experience.

I would like to winge about the door handles on S.

I have 2019.32 on Model X. I have had 3-4 updates in the last 3 weeks. I now have the software notification sign on my MCU (yellow arrow) but no notification on my app. When i go to software updates on MCU it tells me I need a wifi connection. I am traveling and have had no luck connecting to...

Driving today in SA from Adelaide to Clare. Pretty much AP all the way. AP2 Model X with HW2 and FSD optioned. Speed selection to Max for speed limit. AP largely successfully managed the automatic transition between speed zones both up and down between 50/60/80/100 km/hr maintaining the Max...

The price of parking on dry grass? $200k highway patrol car goes up in flames Don't park your modded BMW on the grass.

Conditional speed limit feature. It is mentioned here. Tesla rolls out Driving Visualizations, Sentry Mode upgrades, and more in new update I have observed in school speed zones.

This is an excellent summary Charging Adaptors — TSL43.info

I think the need for additional cables is largely dependent on where you live and where you want to travel. PlugShare have a good map and you can filter by plug type to get an idea of the potential utility of various adapters/cables. On this basis I decided in SA there is no point having the...

Do you know if you have HW3?

I find that many public destination chargers suffer from poor planning for installation. I would suggest that short cords are generally unhelpful and if attention is not paid to the siting of the charger relative to the rear left vehicle charging port some chargers are simply impossible to use...

Like this one?

Yes Tonsley. The Sloan Ranger used to do mobile service but last time i had to go to Tonsley. It was the first time i had been to the innovation center and it was a real eye opener. Lots of interesting things happening at Tonsley.

Listening to a tesal podcast today I heard the comment that Elon had recently said that there were no regulatory issues with FSD around the world except in Europe. I suspect this is because most governments havent even come up with legislation yet to handle this. Hopefully Elon can get FSD to...

The subzero refers to where my battery charge ended up as much as the fact that it was cold. A little bit of poetic license. I think the context is there in the text. No need for moderator censorship i think.

Thanks. It is still a significant saving. It was around $8000 last time I checked.

You may need to wait for delivery. On my MyTesla page I have a Manage option button for the car and it is in the Manage section.

I think I want both. I love to drive but would be happy to let the FSD take the wheel at times. I just dont know what to believe about how much of FSD we will get in Australia and when. I want to believe but I am afraid of disappointment.

Tesla have dropped the price of FSD again. It is $4300 if I choose to add to my Tesla account. Last time Elon tried this I called his bluff. I said I wasn’t going to spend good money on a unicorn. Now I am losing my nerve. What if he puts the price up again? Its like a game of poker and I dont...

Hindsight is 20/20

Last night I ran out of battery power for the first time. I was quite surprised. I had an 11km trip and 20 km of range. I have run the car fine on a few occasions and not had a problem so I wasnt too concerned. I thought i would just reduce my speed and i should be fine. It was about 7 degrees C...

I have been wondering if I will regret not buying FSD at the bargain basement price earlier this year as Elon threatens to raise the price by $1000 a month. In the end ut was not my lack of faith in Tesla but my lack of faith in Australian regulators that held me back. I suspect Australian...

You can use the onboard tesla navigation screen to check the availability of chargers while en route. It shows for example 1/4 in use or 2/4 in use. Obviously it is not 100% as by the time you get there it may have changed but it is a good guide. More of a problem is if the charger is ICED...

It is nice to see the Tesla destination charger network opening up options in regional South Australia. The Barossa and McLaren wine regions are well served. Yorke Peninsula has and the Riverland also have some good options. Parts of Eyre Peninsula and the Limestone Coast are also doable. Even...

Adelaide does have 1 electric bus called Tindo which also uses the solar energy from the bus station roof. I havent seen it for a while. There are also various smaller electric driverless busses around including one at Tonsley i think...

It seems somewhat ironic to be charging my clean green EV from electricity largely produced from the clean green solar panels on the roof of the Adelaide Bus Station while busses sit next door just idling their diesel engines. I hope my HEPA filter is working.
