    SA Govt EV Network

    I was at the RAA Ardrossan site again today, and the electricians were working on the site. They expect power to be on tomorrow so commissioning can start. Hopefully in a few weeks it should be available! I think RAA has underestimated the demand at Ardrossan. It's a town where a lot of...

    SA Govt EV Network

    Ardrossan charger being installed. Transformer installed on the Stobie pole but not connected. Next to the fish and chip shop. As seems to be usual for RAA it's across the road from the caravan park. Toilets are right around the other side of the block. Better than the Port Wakefield which is...

    Tesla app unable to wake car

    I often find if I turn off my WiFi on my phone and use cellular data on my phone the app connects to the car. I am on Woolworths which uses Telstra network. If I stay on WiFi it may just sit there trying.

    Universal Mobile Connector (UMC) in Australia

    I am in SA and have used it quite a bit when travelling. Motels have let me use 15A outlets (pre arranged). Staying with friends on 10A. And the occasional caravan park on 15A. Hopefully it's use will get less with more chargers around the place. On our next trip to Lake Entrance I may not...

    Model 3 Tyres

    No tyre stores can get stock of the T1 in Australia. Even Tesla quoted me a T0. I went with a T0.

    Superchargers in Australia

    I am from SA and used the Tesla Mornington supercharger. Great in that it's at the far end of the car park to prevent being ICEd. Sure the coffee shop is only open certain hours. We took a quick walk around the rose gardens to stretch our legs.

    Powering up the Princes Highway

    I had a look at Bairnsdale council charger location today. The actual parks have been painted green with the EV only wording. Looks like everything is read for the charger install. I have uploaded a photo on plugshare.

    Model 3 sleeping rather than Charging

    I have now got FW version 2020.24.6.9, and I turned off all of my Teslafi wake commands, and yes, at 1:02AM this morning the car woke up, and at 1:03AM it started charging. So much better. It will mean I will get that bit extra charging each night, as before I would wake it each hour, but as...

    NRMA fast charging network

    It why Tesla putting in 4 bays is much better than just the 1 NRMA charger. Gives some room for faults.

    Request to enable DAB+ - Interested?

    It saves it as a favourite but doesnt work as a favourite. Mostly does not switch but sometimes says DAB not available. When you use the direct tune it takes the fraction of a second. About the same as my home DAB radio. But not the length of time for streaming.

    Request to enable DAB+ - Interested?

    DAB+ on my M3 LR AWD is there. It just needs Tesla to enable it in SW. Based on a bug where I have been listening to one station on DAB+ in the car now for weeks now it must be easy for Tesla to do. This thread doesnt seem to have moved them to enable it. What else do we need to do?

    Got a DAB radio station working on a model 3

    107.9MHz is a fm radio station in Adelaide not any DAB station. Its definately playing Hit Buddha on DAB instead of Life FM. As I have been listening to it and they do say the station name fairly often. If i tune to 107.8 i get static and can hear a bit of Life FM.

    Got a DAB radio station working on a model 3

    I can now verify DAB+ radio does work in Australia on a model 3 and it just a software limitation. The way I found it is due to a software error. I wanted to listen to 1079 Life FM. It didnt show up in the list so I did a direct tune. But when i set the freq to 107.9 instead I get Buddha Radio...

    Model 3 sleeping rather than Charging

    Maybe, I am now using TeslaFi which is keeping the car awake, and I can see the charging in the last 3 days has been starting random times 1:20am, 1:40am and 1:58am (seems like daylight saving has meant its starting quite late), I had been setting the car scheduled charging to start at 1am, so...

    Interesting in that thread, Tesla say the vehicles schedule charging will work, where as I have found it doesn't if there is no power when plugged in.

    No. Only that meter controlled circuit is the cheaper rate. Any other powerpoint or circuit is the normal rate.

    Model 3 sleeping rather than Charging

    The whole circuit is controlled by the meter. It powers up that circuit late in the evening, and turns it off in the morning. There is some randomness in the start time, so not everyone in the area has their Hot Waters Systems come on at the same time. But the dollar cost is about half the...

    Model 3 sleeping rather than Charging

    It will charge if I go into the app, and wake the car up when the power is active. I have woken up in the middle of the night, gone into the app, and presto, it starts charging. However, I do not really want to set my alarm for 1am each night.....

    Model 3 sleeping rather than Charging

    I have a 15 amp power outlet which is on a controlled load circuit (also known as J tariff), the circuit is used mainly for Hot Water systems, but in certain states you can also use for EV charging (and yes in SA it can be 15 amp powerpoint). It comes on somewhere between 11pm and 12:30, and...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Do not just reply on the word heavy duty extension cable. Even if its 15 amp cable check the copper size. As mentioned earlier it should be 2.5mm. Most extension cables are not designed to be run at a full rate for long periods. So just because its a 15 amp cable itmay not be suitable.

    NRMA fast charging network

    RAA has their head in the sand. All they are planning are 3 on the way from Adelaide to Melbourne. From what I have heard there are none others. One would have thought the Adelaide to Sydney route would have been high as well or perhap a few scattered a few hundred km out from Adelaide to...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Just to finish this one off, thomasw is correct, SA Power Networks have presented at the Australian Electric Vehicle Association a number of times, and EV charging is an allowed load for Controlled Load (now revised upto 32 Amps for the EV charging). To get it installed, get your electrician to...
