    How to correct an order on the wrong account

    Probably easiest to just visit a showroom and talk to one of the salespeople.

    Superchargers in Australia

    Given my distinct preference for facilitating long distance road trips, I totally agree with Port Wakefield SA, Narranderra NSW and Campbell Town TAS. After that, I'm inclined to vote for anything that isn't in or super close to a capital city. Those sites would be any two out of Braidwood...

    Supercharger - Kojonup, WA

    There once was a time when I thought I was wrong, but I was wrong 😋

    SA Govt EV Network

    True. But what's the bet these locations won't be installed before 2025 at the earliest.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Tesla's insistence at finding the nearest Supercharger and making a beeline to it regardless of direction is one the most frustrating idiosyncrasies these cars have.

    Model X Light Bar Install

    It was pretty fiddly. I did have to cut a fair bit of the guts of the ducting to squeeze it in. I wanted it as high as possible off the road so just made it fit.

    Model X Light Bar Install

    Nice! I mounted my Lazer Linear-18 behind the "T" logo of my X back in 2020.

    The long-awaited transformer is in and things will be progressing quite quickly.

    Sanity Check - Immediate NSW rural road trip

    Yes. In the US, constant or long-term loads have to derated 20% compared to short term loads. So in the US, a 10A kettle would be fine, whereas a 10A car charger would have to be derated to 8A. This does not apply to Australia. Here, a 10A GPO is rated for 10A continuous. Tesla has made an error...

    Sanity Check - Immediate NSW rural road trip

    It's a little bit more complicated than just a resistor. The current UMC tails contain a MAX31826 chip which is a temperature sensor with 1Kb of lockable EEPROM.

    Tips for driving from Melbourne to Brisbane

    Of course you could also drive clockwise via Adelaide, Perth and Darwin, but that would require a little more than 15 minutes of planning 😋

    Supercharger - Margaret River, WA

    Apologies for not replying much sooner. I can confirm that the Superchargers and Destination Chargers are very much completed and fully operational and available. There is a chain (shown in the image below) across the first right hand turn piece of carpark which is intended to prevent people...

    Supercharger - Perth (Karrinyup) West Australia

    There was a hot rumor about two years ago that Alkimos was set to host a Supercharger station - which at 43kms from the CBD certainly fits the bill. Given Joondalup's satellite city asperations - at 27kms from the CBD - it's pretty likely the Perth North Supercharger will be hosted there in...

    Model S Refresh and Existing Orders

    That might be the case if the reason for Tesla not being able to supply the ordered car was because of an unforeseen circumstance or event. The critical point here is that Tesla knew exactly what it was going to do before the order was placed and accepted. This point changes everything. If I...

    Model S Refresh and Existing Orders

    For everyone here who has ordered a new S or X before yesterday, you might want to download your order agreement from your Tesla account. Tesla has reps ringing all order holders encouraging them to "reconfigure" their orders. They say that they will provide a $2,000 discount for those who do...

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    Couldn't agree more. There is no doubt they are aware of the general displeasure of the new text sizes. Hopefully Tesla will see the error of their ways and restore the most critical indicators to somewhere near their original sizes.

    2016 MX start up time - what is normal?

    MCU2 is a complete departure from what you're used to. It basically solves everything that is bad about your car. If you've paid for FSD then the clear answer is yes. If you haven't, then it depends on how much longer you want to hold onto your car given a shiny new version of the Model X is...

    2016 MX start up time - what is normal?

    My 2016 MX had the same symptoms and had done about 155,000kms. It is clearly an eMMC originating issue but Tesla vehemently deny this and simply state the eMMC has not yet failed. Their stated position is that unless the MCU drops dead, they will not do anything to address slow starts, slow...

    Supercharger - Williams (WA)

    It looks like Western Australia's Eaton Supercharger is going to lose its coveted most isolated Supercharger in the world honor when Tesla installs a supercharger station at Williams Woolshed early next year.

    Type 2 to type 2 cable as extension cable.

    That "groundbreaking new product" profoundly violates IEC 61851 and ought to be illegal to sell.

    More driving during Pandemic?

    The problem with that chart is that it lumps all of APAC together. It's not a big stretch to conclude that the "we" the chart is plotting is not the same as the "we" that live in Australia.

    Tyre pressures in extreme heat.

    I keep my tyres cold inflated to 50 psi (which is their max rating). The highest pressure I saw them get to while driving in far west Queensland at 45°C was 58 psi.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Couldn't agree more. The HPWC has either 3 or 5 connections (depending on how many phases your house has): A,N,E or L1, L2, L3, N, E. ANY licensed electrician can install one.

    Tesla Perth service centre

    I hate to say it, but FSD with hands on is not FSD. It’s as simple as that. For “the authorities” to require “hands on wheel” for a FSD car is as great a leap forward as allowing horseless carriages to traverse intersections but with a man in front of the vehicle with a red flag so as to warn...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    The great news is that no matter how long you have waited and no matter how long you have to continue to wait for your shiny new Model 3, all will be forgiven and forgotten as soon as you hop into it for the first time. I'm thrilled to see soooo many people about to join the awesome Tesla family :)

    And therein lies the problem. For as long as companies rely on the ambivalence of their customers, they are vulnerable to being usurped by newcomers who single-mindedly are intent on delivering excellence in every aspect of their operations.
