    What are people that bought Full FSD doing?

    Well, that was a great read. Wow what a difference. I ordered the Model 3 LR in 2016 and waited 3 years for it. (Australia) . It arrived in 2019 Dec. Was very happy with it! Then bought FSD when it was $10,200 . Had FSD beta for a while, that was removed. So not much has happened...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Sounds like it might be a good upgrade to give a miss to.. and wait and see what happens in 2022.24.7 or whichever comes next , instead.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Seems that way from my reading too. I thought the second roo, which was a bit further along, had made my Tesla stop on autopilot, but not sure now , as i was in heavy traffic - - the car slowed as I got close to a big roo seconds after I hit the smaller one. But maybe I was looking at the...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I see you are on the NSW South Coast. I hit a roo, on autopilot. There was heavy traffic June Long weekend , and it was travelling north from Moruya, and just before Ulladulla, in a 100 zone. Traffic was doing maybe 90km per hour, and a roo appeared (it made it between two cars...

    100% green power charges going down

    I am with AGL in Sydney, and thought I would take a look. At the moment I get 18% off for early or prompt payment, plus I have the gas with them. If I change to EV plan the 25% off the reference rate then equals my 18% off my existing rate. So they both end up at 26cents per kw hours. So...

    Any one tried to re-format USB in 2020.16.2.1

    With a Samsung 500 Gig , with 1 partition for TeslaCam , and one for Music, I had used a third party app to do the partitions, and the Teslam Folder apparently labelled the F: drive with the name TESLACAM. Once I removed the label altogether from F: drive, the dashcam is now working fine...
