It isn't isolated and I've had the same advice from Tesla since December 2020 when MCU2 was installed. Now, for the last 5 days, I've had no mobile connectivity at all. Wifi still works so I'm using the wifi always on feature to hotspot. Our MX is the gift that keeps giving into our 5th year of...

Can you figure out if the B-pillar cameras are as easily replaceable as the repeaters? These pics are from my MX last week when the ranger did the anti-condensation TSB on them.

I Tweeted Elon once and even got a positive reply. Nothing's happened since. Jays on Twitter

It took us 4 days Perth-Port Augusta and left Perth June 23, 2018. Just check Plugshare.com or @Jays200 on Twitter. It's possible but it ain't gunna be fast ;) BTW, It isn't going to be possible at all until the hard state border restrictions are lifted. There is no timeline for this to happen atm.

I don't know the percentage of single vs 3 phase, however, ignorant and budget conscious would by default get single phase but all street power is 3 phase and the only cost difference is in the copper wire and meter. Most house loads are single phase anyway with the exception of some pool...

I've had a PW2 reserved since Nov' 17 but desperately want a 3 phase version as my existing inverters are 3 phase, my Tesla charges from the Tesla supplied 240V 32A 3 phase 22kW HPWC and I want my whole home backed up across all 3 phases if/when an outage occurs, as opposed to a third of my...

Great read and awesome write-up with clear methodology and great pics. Thanks for all the hard work. Although I will never do this, it's an important addition to the knowledge base. It's also awesome that the modern electric car "mechanic" didn't even open the bonnet, get underneath the car or...

Yes, the GEN24 seems very impressive and will be my next inverter with a BYD battery, however, I still want a Tesla Powerwall 3 3 phase at the front of my setup so all the other inverters never see the grid go down because the Powerwall mimics the grid instantly.

Straya ;)

MCU reboot perhaps

Can you post the link please.

I'm hearin' ya RRD. For others that might not be aware, Elon said "OK" to a Perth service centre, showroom and supercharger way back on March 11. Musk promises Tesla store in W.A. to the delight of enthusiasts | The Driven As you so aptly the described, 44 Government Road could, at best, be...

Or here? Schedule a Test Drive

Hey Wayne, Great post and sorry to hear about your woes. In our ill prepared and underdeveloped EV state even blind freddy could have foreseen this happening to anyone prepared to embrace new vehicle technology. Be thankful you're in Tesla because almost all the other EV brands are a poor...

What size did you get?

Just get 4 x 9" from T sportline. I purchased two extra 20"x9" Slipstreams from Tesla to have unstaggered and thus can rotate. I ended up with 265 Continental tyres which is 10 wide than original front 255s and 10 narrower than the original 275 rears. No rubbing on the front either.

I once thought I was going to be buried in a Landcruiser 400 or 500 series. Now it's going to be a Tesla Cybertruck ;)

Absolutely, and Summer doesn't officially start for two more weeks. Perth breaks temperature records as WA sizzles

Can't wait. I live in Western Australia (a.k.a. WA) too ;)

Since we had our second 5kW inverter (10kW total inverter capacity) added in late September, I charge from home almost exclusively. The other incentive is that now we've lost our pawltry 7c feed in tariff there is even more reason not to give Synergy any free juice. Made 90kWh today :)

I reckon Perth would be a good "fill-in" location ;)

Yeah sorry. I know the OP was about battery but there was a small window where the body warranty was double current warranty. Just wanted to highlight what Tesla was up to in deleting uploaded docs and referring to current rather than past docs.

In my instance, the warranty from April 2017 clearly states a 160k/8yr body warranty and the warranty referred to in the new revamped "My Tesla" account page references the October 2019 warranty which is 80k/4yr body warranty. Obviously, I have a preference for retaining the original, more...

If you have checked your "My Tesla" account recently you will notice it has changed a lot. What's missing is where you were able to upload documents. Fortunately, I kept a digital copy of the warranty. Important for me as my car has 160k/8yr body warranty and 8yr/unlimited km battery/drivetrain...

I was once advised by Tesla service to disconnect the 12v battery to force a reboot. Didn't end up doing it as we finally got the car connected via laptop hotspot using hotel wifi (son's idea). Was 3 levels underground in hotel carpark so no cell phone coverage.

I'll second that.

I didn't want to add a battery but my utility made me add it because I wanted to go above the max PV allocation of 8.2kW for a 3 phase connection. Unfortunately, the PW2 in Australia is only a single phase solution. My hope is PW3 will be 3 phase and that will be my next addition. My utility...

That and others like Homelink, Lte, ultrasonic interior alarm thingy, ambient lighting, self presenting doors and anything else Tesla could add a dollar value to and take my money.

I'm hearin' ya

And an updated pic And yesterday's generation

And here's my 5n 6.4kWh BYD waiting for my 3phase Fronius Symo Hybrid install this Friday. My second 5kW inverter.

So, with as many M3's as "double the total sales of Tesla EVs since the Model S was first delivered here [Australia] in late 2014." The stunning Model 3 delivery numbers that will rock Australia's car industry | The Driven Why is it taking soooo loooong for someone to drive their M3 East or...

I wash mine whilst it's plugged in and charging. More chance of an ICE blowing up whilst refuelling than anything happening to a charging EV (No, not like a charging bull ;))

Man, you sound like that @markbspiegel guy on Twitter that just blocked me for a one word comment, "Yawn!"

Check out my Twitter starting June 23 last year. First MX to cross Australia with 4 days of AC charging included. 71000kms in 2 years and remote outback Australia travel etc. I've got the runs on the board. If you've got the questions, I've got the experienced answers. I also like to have a...

So, the way it works is, just because a manufacturer might only give a 12 or 24 month warranty, that doesn't limit what is "reasonable" insofar as it would be reasonable to expect a fridge or TV to last , say 5 years. We have strong consumer laws here that favour the consumer. You'd have to...

Gotta love Australian Consumer Law "Fit for purpose" It would be reasonable to expect the eMMc to function for the life of the product/car...

Although Sentry Mode is enabled on my HW2 2017 MX, I've never ever had a text alert or returned to the car to find alerts on the screen, even after activating it on purpose. What's the point if all it does is display the HAL eye on the MCU?

Sorry. My bad. Challenge RACV with that quote I posted and ask them to justify the difference.

But challenge NRMA and ask them WTF. Or is the "premium" to pay for all those shiny new DC fast chargers they are installing for "free" ;)

RACWA quote I just generated

You mean cables like these Jays on Twitter

Except that little 2700km bit between Port Augusta and Perth ;)

Maybe watch this and give them a call

James is a great guy (despite him actually being a nice bloke) insofar as he's put up with Tesla making him work out of a shed for two years with not enough support as he's needed and on as much of a promise as us owners have been on regards a proper service centre. We all hope things improve...

@Chuq I agree. There are signs that Tesla might be moving in the right direction over here in Perth. We now have a new "mature" apprentice and a good indication of a new to Tesla tech starting soon. Also, "rumours" abound of a proper service centre location which won't have a Supercharger...

Not the location :(. Got a head shake from a bloke who might know ;)

Maybe this site. It looks a bit further progressed when we went past yesterday. Yeah I'm grasping at straws but it's there somewhere and I've probably driven past it more than once. Google Maps
