    Tesla Model S 60 to 75 kW upgrade just went to $3050!

    So originally the upgrade to a 75 was $10500 and now today it's down to $3050! I just paid. Seems too good a deal to pass up and just in case it went up again! Anyone else pull the trigger? It is going to long road trips much less stressful and improve resale eventually. People who paid $10500...

    Did any AP1 Model X's make it to Australia?

    Just out of interest, did Autopiliot Hardware 1 Model X's make it to Austraila? I was tossing up between S60 and the X60 and the design studio for X was live before the announcement for hardware 2 was made. Also I remember the X60 was around $120,000, seems cheap for an X now!

    Noisy Model S wipers since new?

    My 2016 late Model S has had noisy wipers since day one. They squeak and vibrate when it is raining even heavily. Happens when windscreen is very clean or very dirty - the bottom of the drivers side wiper vibrates when it moves. Is this just a problem with mine or everybodies? Cheers

    Replacing 5 month old Key Fob battery has improved my Tesla

    Just replaced my key fob battery after only 5 months after some errors happening with Summon and occasionally not having door handle extend immediately. The battery replacement has made Summon more reliable with less error messages and the doors now open as soon as I walk up to the doors...

    How about a Ludocurious Lite mode for the S60?!

    A Ludocurious Lite mode would be a popular download. Could be a good way for Tesla to get more money out of the new S60's or S75's. I'm sure with software tweaks they could get the 0-100 time for the 60/75 down to near 5 seconds flat. I'd pay $2000 for that. Which else 60/75 owners would?! Cheers

    Anybody bought Tesla shares in Australia recently?

    Seems like a good time to buy with Model 3 on horizon and excitement building and the Trump effect. If you have, what platform do you use? The regular banks don't seem to trade American based shares. Thanks

    Anybody know correct way of opening Tesla number plate covers?

    My EV sticker is coming off in the middle of the number plate from heat or dampness I guess. I just tried to remove the cover from the bottom and pressed the tabs but with moderate force it's stuck tight and I don't want to break it, any ideas? Thanks

    So what happens if you break down in a state without a service centre?

    I'm thinking about longer road trips in my Tesla now and just wonder if breaking down in say Brisbane with a drive train problem, would the only option be trucking it to Sydney? And the cost of trucking would be ours?

    Anybody hear there was a Tesla stolen in Melbourne, Glen Waverley?

    My mother in law was babysitting my two year old and dropped a bombshell when we came back. "So I was talking to one of my neighbours, and their Tesla was stolen from outside their house in Glen Waverley". No no, I said, couldn't of been a Tesla, you'd need the keys to steal them, and even if...

    So I was unplugging the car in my garage and my two year old was waiting to get in the child seat, I moved half a metre away to hang up the charging cable next to the car, the door handles retracted and there was a scream! Unknown to me my little girl had put her hand on the door handle. No...

    Driver Assistance Features Unavailable message on the dashboard

    Hi there, My new Tesla Model S had a message "Driver Assistance Features Unavailable, contact Tesla services if the problem persists" for second time this morning.

    Anyone else had their Tesla Spotify down for two days?

    Hi there, My Tesla Spotify account in my car says "Unable to connect, try later" for the last two days. All other connected things work like Tune In radio and Google Maps. Anyone had the same issue or know the solution? 3G signal is strong and also the same when connect to my home's Wi-FI. Thanks

    Vampire drain whilst plugged in?

    I have noticed that when my car is fully charged (406km on my new 60) after a few hours it begins to lose charge even whilst its still plugged in. I got down to 402km and the charging had not started again. Short of unplugging and replugging in, how long until the car tops its self off? Thanks

    Cars tailgating whilst on Autopilot

    I'm really loving my Tesla, one month in I can't see ever going back to an ice car. Driving home tonight in heavy traffic on Autopilot I had a couple of cars nearly go into the back of me. I find whilst on Autopilot and in a traffic jam the car accelerates quite hard when there is a gap in the...

    The new 8.0 incremental update made my summon better!

    Usually when summoning out of garage in the morning the car stopped as soon as it got to and sensed the steep slope my driveway is on. This was awkward for me as I have to close the garage door manually so I used to need to summon, get in and drive back another metre, get out and close the...

    In an emergency what speed is the most energy efficient?

    Hi there, With petrol cars I was always told if you are running out of petrol 56mph or 90kmph is the most efficient speed to drive to try and get to the next petrol station. If we are running out of charge, what speed is the most energy efficient to get to the next charger?

    Frequent two pedals pressed warning

    Loving the car but seem to get the "both pedals pressed" warning very easily. I find especially on a steep hills the car rolls back at a T junction unless you have your foot on the brake for a spilt second after you press the accelerator pedal, but you get the loud bongs and "two pedal pressed"...

    My wife and I took our baby in the new Tesla to Yarra Glen today. Coming back from a great breakfast my wife noticed literally 20 people standing around the car!

    The AGL all you can charge $1 a day deal and the Wall connector

    Hi everyone, My Tesla Wall connector just arrived at my house yesterday but I am not sure whether to install it right away or wait until November to see what the AGL deal requires. As many of you may know, AGL is offering from November a $1 a day plan to charge your Tesla as much as you want...

    Just bought a solid black new face S60 from Melbourne centre

    Hi there, Just bought an inventory solid black S60 from the Melbourne depot; apparently someone cancelled their order. It is currently at the docks and delivery is "within the next two weeks". Can't wait! It completely base though, so hopefully that won't be an issue. Standard cloth seats, but...

    Would $80,000 get me a used Model S anytime soon?!

    Hi there, Just joined. I live in Eltham North in Melbourne and I am very keen to get a Model S. I have seen the base 60kw rear wheel drive model is around $115,000 new, but I am hoping to spend about $80K cash on a used one in any spec. Is this realistic? Currently on Carsales the cheapest ones...
