    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Does anyone have Boombox functionality in their Toybox? Is that even a thing in Australia?

    RVG trade in and tyre condition

    The policy has just been officially clarified for me, 4mm is the replacement threshold, of which I was a little short. Following the sentiment in this thread and to avoid the battle, I have replaced the tyres. Now some lucky second hand buyer will get a good run out of it! Considering the small...

    RVG trade in and tyre condition

    Thank you for the responses so far. To clarify, the tyres are the 4th set in 90,000kms and have about 10,000 left on them. They've also tried to pass $370 for detailing at my expense.

    RVG trade in and tyre condition

    I'm up for an RVG and Tesla are saying that my (roadworthy with a few mm to spare) tyres must be replaced at my cost, and have quoted 150% retail to do it after returning the car. Has anyone had any dealings with the " damage and excessive wear and use based on Tesla’s standards for normal use"...

    3 Phase HPWC vs Juice Buster2/Maxi Charger, etc. for traveling?

    Also did this, set it to 40A(x3) internally and limit in the car if the breaker requires it.

    Leaders and Managers: Flashy Tesla at Work?

    I'm the exact opposite of your question, OP. The company I work for has a fairly flat management structure, The boss(owner) and everyone else. He parks his 7 year old Audi next to my Tesla and explains to our customers that I'm driving that car because of the life choices I made. Cultural note...

    Request for recommendation - Tesla detailing Sydney North

    I had a detail and opticoat done by You are being redirected... He treated the car well and I wasn't the first Tesla he'd done.

    New tyres at 60 000kms

    What sizes are those prices for? That's a fairly solid repair kit to have with you, hopefully you never have to use it on your own car. The hole reaming tool is disturbing to use if you've never done it before!

    Strata Issues

    How will they know what the sparkie is doing is correct? Looky-loos. Ugh. Warn your guy to have all his cards on him that day. I'd love to see how they worded this (triumphantly, I'm sure) when telling you, and would love even more to see the security footage at the fire station.

    12V constant power using OBDII USB Adapter

    4-5A seems to be the numbers appearing around the internet, 5a x 13.8v = 69w (fridge is a bad idea) I do exactly this, with this guy (https://www.idgcdn.com.au/products/image/11893/angle/8/614x480/179779/) connected to one of the console USB ports. It fits neatly, gets constant power and has...

    19" vs 21" Model S wheels in Australia

    Taking a tiny bit of care with your drive will be enough to avoid damaging the wheel in pot holes. You won't have to change your life. Tyres for 21s will cost you a minimum of $509 per, they hang on a little harder in corners but is it worth that extra cost?

    SG57 your participation with your users is amazing. I just made some more in app purchases because thank you!

    Vendor Dashboard for Tesla - the better app for your Tesla

    Yes! This new function of the Tesla app came as a surprise to me. It would be a role reversal in effect. I used Dashboard to run it all day before, now Dashboard could be the app I use to turn it on for only 30 minutes.

    Tell me why you love your dash cam?

    The thought of my car being parked at a shopping centre without the dash cam running gives me the heebie jeebies. I've had 2 hit and run incidents recorded by it so far. It also makes for excellent submissions to dash cam video sharing pages on facebook.

    Super charger occupied?

    Yesterday was pretty busy, it was full when I got there at 2040, but with 5 stations someone is bound to be less than 10 minutes away from their goal. Jump out and meet a fellow owner! (or in the case of hire cars, a driver.) I will always move if someone pulls up and I'm within 10% of where I...

    Vendor Dashboard for Tesla - the better app for your Tesla

    Tamburlaine Organic Wines - Pokolbin NSW Built in maps listed, there are 2 long cable chargers in the public car park. Staff immediately came over, they said I'm the first car to arrive since their install in late December and were all super keen to see what it's all about. Follow car gps...

    EMR at supercharger

    Further to what Doug_G said, have a look at where power lines sit on the spectrum in the article: ARPANSA - Ionising and Non Ionising Radiation It's ionising radiation that causes mutations (cancer), perhaps they put 3 sugars in your coffee!

    How did your V8.0 update go?

    restricted regeneration

    Enable "Max Battery Power" under your sport/insane/ludicrous option to heat/cool the battery to optimum temperature, have your charge below 97%, and like PJF000 said, enable normal regeneration.

    How did your V8.0 update go?

    Don't get too anxious about the update, it appears the charge port door error is a feature of this version. I now get it more often than not. While the autopilot is greatly improved I would choose v7 over this constant warning message.

    Did you sit in the car for the upgrade? Judgement free zone.

    How did your V8.0 update go?

    Got the charge port warning too. Rebooted touchscreen, opened port, wiped magnet with finger, closed port, started car, no warning second time. Can confirm the port still works. Regenerative braking is significantly increased in the P90D (like 5-10%)

    How did your V8.0 update go?
