    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    A couple of years ago, I think Cathie Wood did ask Elon about starting a ride-hailing service with a driver before a full blown cybercab service. My recollection is that he was not keen on the idea. BTW, kudos to Cathie Wood for getting this right again as the only fund manager who saw the...

    💯 since 2016. We don’t have IRA in 🇦🇺 , 💯 in IRA equivalent SMSF since 2019. lol . I did sell the whole lot during the COVID panic in March/April 2020, but bought back + some LEAPS in May 2020. I did sell some about a couple of weeks ago to ensure that if there is an emergency need for funds...

    Yes. How hard is it for Tesla to roll out an L3 system under these ridiculous conditions!! (copy paste from mbusa website) Clear lane markings on approved freeways Moderate to heavy traffic with speeds under 40 MPH Daytime lighting and clear weather Driver visible by camera located above...

    Tritium asks Qld government for up to $90m bailout

    They failed because they had a sub-standard, unreliable product that was universally hated by customers in Europe and Australia. Instead of listening to customers and fixing the problem, including providing more spare parts, they just skated on government subsidies and then moved out of...

    Supercharger - Exeter, NSW

    Tesla Nav still prefers Goulburn during automatic routing. I had to explicitly put supercharger Exeter as a stop in order to force it to skip Goulburn. So we’re safe.

    Great Aussie EV Road trips - Live to drive - Drive to Live

    It’s weird that the auto lane change out of the overtaking lane doesn’t work because of road camber. The front cameras are located higher than our eyes and the side pillar cameras are in line with our eyes and we can see the lane lines. Looks like a labelling issue with the old code.

    Enhance Commander Unit Capabilities

    It will be useful where there are single lane highways with intermittent overtaking lanes. EAP auto lane change didn’t work here the last time I checked.

    Enhance Commander Unit Capabilities

    Set it to “Assist” and it doesn’t do anything unless you drift slowly out of the lane.
  20. SPadival

    Enhance Commander Unit Capabilities

    Nope. Why do you want to disable lane keeping? I set it to assist and it barely ever intervenes.

    This is just additional income until robotaxis are launched at scale (not just unveiled). Also, he has a margin of 90%. So whether it is revenue or profit is marginal. Aaand..

    Unfortunately, it was worse than before for me. The car seems to be afraid of B-Double trucks and consistently slows down while overtaking them. Also, auto lane change to the overtaking lane was working fine, but it wasn’t picking up the left lane for some reason. So I had to manually change...

    We should thank Franz and Lars for saving us from another “bet the company” induced PTSD. But we should also thank Elon for having the vision of a vision only FSD when everyone was laughing at him. Damn the lifeboats 🤣

    It’s with sentry off. It was not connecting yesterday. Just in time to test it out during the return trip SYD-MEL .

    Speed camera near the Carlingford village showed up on the nav. But I didn’t hear any audible notification. Also, some hope for Aussie FSD (Tesluddites , I know that you know that it won’t come.. so don’t bother restating the same thing 🤣)

    Great Aussie EV Road trips - Live to drive - Drive to Live

    Three times would have worked. But Glenrowan Maccas didn’t seem to have a drive thru, so ended up charging there at the BP pulse station. Euroa->Glenrowan->Gundagai->Goulburn. I had 40% charge at my final destination. I could have easily shaved off an hour if we had stuck to the charge time...

    Supercharger - Exeter, NSW

    I skipped Exeter today as it was showing as down in the car, but up in the app! Ended up charging in Goulburn, but it’s good we picked up dinner from Oliver’s in Gundagai. This is my first MEL-SYD MY RWD road trip - 11:30 hours all up.

    Wiki Exploren supported Charging network

    4 60kw Exploren DC faschargers randomly showed up in my area on PlugShare!! I don’t know if they are council owned because they use ChargeFox and are not free. Truganina Community Centre | Truganina, VIC | EV Station

    Charging and Payment Apps and other methods

    I have walked to the next station (Mascot) once. Walkable distance from the domestic airport. No station access fee. Also, there was a bus from the Melbourne international terminal to Broadmeadows train station. Wouldn’t advise doing either of these at night 😬

    Toyota Kluger Lane Keeping Assistant is alright, although very cumbersome to turn on with all the multiple button presses and poor visualisations on the display. I used it on a MEL-SYD drive (needed a 7 seater).

    Australian accessory suppliers - recommendations?

    Ok. 👍 My kids destroyed the air vents in my previous car. So I bought it before the car even arrived. Also, bought it in white along with white seat back covers to match the white seats. I had good experience with Temu. Faster delivery compared to Aliexpress.

    Pick up my Model 3 on Friday ... Looking forward to interacting with these clowns (not)

    Most are curious and ask questions about the car. Only encountered one literal mouth breather who ambled across the road from a bottle shop and tried to educate me about “EV fires”. I generally ignore all the boi racers who try to race me at the lights.

    They should do what other car makers/dealers do - plonk a couple of cars in the middle of the shopping centre, where the foot traffic is. I have seen Kia (EV9), MG, Hyundai, Mahindra etc at my local shopping centre.

    Cybertruck Waiting Room - Australia

    Fred is a hater. The original render was just that, a render. It was not practical and was never intended as a final product. Also, Nobody is forcing them to buy the tent now. I would wait for the AliExpress version.

    pre conditioning for non-tesla charging stations

    Initially, the DCFCs owned by the local council was on the map. But since they are paid and not free, they have since disappeared! I guess, over time, due to Tesla’s selection criteria, only the free ones and ones with cost/kwh significantly lower than Tesla SCs will remain on the map. 😬
