Does anyone have the real figures on how much electricity is actually recovered during regen? I've seen 80% of the kinetic energy but I've also seen 50%! And on the same subject, do the continual spurts of regen electricity impinge on the battery longevity - or is that something no-one has...

I got an SMS from EVIE saying the app is out of date and to click on the button below - there WAS no button! Samsung phone - how do I install the new Evie app?Is there a site for it? I rarely use my mobile so am uninformed!

My S is 3 1/2 years old and I live North of Newcastle so fitting a replacement 12v battery would be problematic. Anyone know of the supply situation from the Sydney SCs? I'll be going down for a few days over Christmas and am wondering if it's worth doing a preemptive replacement on the...

I posted this on the US Model S thread last week - anyone add comments or help? >> 2020 Model S Raven. During a 30 mile drive today I had the following: Several times the instrument panel showed "Model S" in 1" high font and the whole row of icons in the top right (RHD BTW) lit up for ten...

2020 Model S Raven. During a 30 mile drive today I had the following: Several times the instrument panel showed "Model S" in 1" high font and the whole row of icons in the top right (RHD BTW) lit up for ten seconds or so.Later - several times - the voice recognition didn't respond but the...

Any idea what make of EV was the firestarter at the conflagration in an airport parking lot yesterday:. Just nosy.

My Firefox browser has lost my bookmarks - what is the address to log into my Tesla account from my PC? Going to Tesla.com doesn't provide a log-in page!

Used the car yesterday, no problem. This morning the main screen is dead, pressing brake pedal does not bring up the PIN screen. Twice tried double button reset with no effect. The door handles and trunk operate via phone normally The car is plugged in but the drive battery is probably around...

2020 Raven model S, Michelin Pilot Sport tyres 245/45R 19 OEMs - I've been in hospital for 8 months and have forgotten the pressures they should be at - IIRC it is 45psi - correct? The label on the B pillar has no info - it's fallen off/worn off.

Having had the stroke last September and no longer licenced to drive I am having to sell my Model S. Location Tea Gardens, 60 Km North of Newcastle, NSW 2020 Raven Model S, 23000 Km only Full self drive (Purchased outright, transferable) Pearl white, black interior Heated steering wheel etc inc...

After the stroke I had last year and subsequent licence suspension I need to contact Service NSW but for the last two months just get >>Service temporarily unavailable This service is temporarily unavailable for maintenance purposes Normal services...

I have been getting the message "NSW EToll site unavailable due to maintenance" for several months now, and sometimes FireFox refuses to even connect for "Security reasons. Anyone have the answer? I Have tried calling Services but give up each time.

I suffered a stroke in September and therefore had my unblemished NSW licence invalidated. I would be most grateful if anyone who has regained their licence in similar circumstances can give me any advice.

Couple of days ago I parked in a shopping centre carpark multistory. Parked in one of the two Tesla destination charger spots - the one that doesn't (ever) work. We were only an hour there and when we returned there were 57 sentry mode captures, each one of 59 seconds and each one starting just...

I parked in a multistory carpark by a destination charger (which was as usual u/s) and when I returned there were 57 sentry clips. In none of them could I see any movement - not a pedestrian or car passing - but they were each exactly one minute apart for the duration of the stay. Could this be...

FWIW I had to have the rear driver's side panel replaced (don't ask...) and a deep scratch/ravine in the rear door. I went to Williams body shop in Warner Bay, Newcastle, who have the only Tesla approved shop anywhere near me. They had the panel within ten days and I picked the car up a couple...

Obviously here in Australia we don't have beta but as far as I'm aware the FSD is similar (apart from the driving side) and I wonder if anyone in the US can shed light on this behaviour since there are so many more "S" owners here. I had an out and back of 55Km each way yesterday and since Mrs*...

I had an out and back of 55Km each way yesterday and since Mrs* wasn't with me I used the autopilot. (Yes, I know, but it's a convenient term.) On the way out (this is the A1 North of Raymond Terrace) there were several slight PBs, most of which were anticipated such as when a parallel road...

Just a little "counter" to the many posts on all Tesla forum channels about dreadful customer service: I'm some 230Km North of Sydney so when the passenger seat failed in the fully "back" position last week I was pleased that at least I was staying with relatives in Manly for a few days. After...

A quickie, since I’m away from home: the passenger seat on my MS 2020 has today stopped moving forward. The other movements seem OK but pushing the fwd/back lever does nothing. Hopefully it’s a loose connection or possibly a fuse but suggestions are welcome since the Mrs is getting shirty…..

I became aware this morning that the blinker "clicks" came and went. Sometimes there were no clicks, sometimes they started and stopped and sometimes they restarted after a few seconds. The green blinker icon worked normally. While I was pondering on this I realised that there were no voice...

Anyone else in Australia have the same problem? It's nearly fourteen days since I tapped the "button", the RHD beta downloaded and I started the week's "competency drives" data uploads: my app says I'm 99% competent (!) and the data upload is complete - but the FSD beta hasn't activated. No...

I seem to remember a discussion some time ago on this topic. My 2020 Raven has a windscreen that is very slightly less transparent than the rest of the windows, which are almost invisible. Especially when facing the light it's almost as if there's a light frosting, or a thin layer of very fine...

I've recently bought a smartphone and installed the app. It constantly shows three Tesla "T" icons along the top: they appear to have no function nor link to anything. Are they perhaps just for show? EDITED! They have now been replaced by one "T" - and the Tesla app shortcut on the home screen...

Has anyone received any message regarding the frunk secondary latch recall?

2020 Raven LR: Today I got the message saying the suspension was disabled. Never seen that before. I tried raising and lowering the suspension but although the slider followed my finger after a few seconds it returned to "Low". After I got home I rebooted and it disappeared. Anything to be...

I've just had an email purporting to be from Tesla: >> Your Model S and/or Model X requires a CCS Charging Upgrade to access our latest generation V3 Supercharging technology. CCS compatible cars will: View and route to new Supercharging stations with in-vehicle navigation Be...

I had occasion to park my MS at a relative's in Manly for 3 nights and left sentry mode on. We all know it's a battery guzzler but I was quite shocked when it used 48Km worth of range per 24 hrs. It WAS parked where we walked past it probably 9 or 10 times in the three days but.......

Can someone in the know tell me what the various columns are in my downloaded monthly charging history? The column headings are ... well, opaque!

I don't often go into my Tesla account and today I found it wanted some code or something from an "Authentication app". Alternatively it wanted a code from a one time code that I suppose I was supposed to have. I don't. Any ideas?

I want to get an interior sunshade for my S: if no-one has any better sources I will get the Tesla one. The question is: using the Tesla app looks straightforward, but are the items costed in AU$ or US$, and also do they have to come from the US or are they kept here in Oz?

Anyone know if the radar is shut down completely on the visuals-only FSD? It must take a reasonable amount of power so having it squirting energy and not using it would be silly.

I used to have my car set to begin charging in my garage at 10.00 daily with quite a low amperage, so as to use my roof solar to provide a lot of the electricity. Sometime after an update the ability to set this seems to have disappeared: I can set a scheduled departure charge but unless I've...

My 2020 Model S came with the wall connector, UMC and an adapter to use with CCS chargers on the road. If I was to change the S for a Y (when available in Australia) can I keep the installed wall charger and use it on the Y (a) As is or (b) using it via the adapter? And, if (b) would it charge...

Is there any difference in the car’s vampire drain if left unlocked as opposed to locked? (In garage, so no sentry mode on)

Who has had their Tesla pink slipped, and have you any advice such as where to get it done etc?

After 2021.12.25.7 I find that when watching YouTube the LH scroll wheel no longer does anything to the volume. OK on other apps, radio etc. I can't remember this happening before?

I formatted my SSD a week ago and have just happened to look at what's on the Sentry captures. There are dozens of 60sec recordings, spaced 1 min apart and almost none with any movement recorded that could conceivably have triggered captures, and no "red dot" signalling triggering. This is the...

My understanding is that Tesla uses Google mapping: my car doesn't show any of the roads/houses around me - just bushland. The area has been built since about 3 years ago, and Google Earth on my computer has its last imagery as 2019 - with my house on it! The car's nav data is AU.2020.24.12097...

I've just seen this: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/uk-ireland-and-rhd-only-queries-and-comments-for-tesla.233956/ It would appear that Tesla looks at comments on this thread, which is intended to be for RHD vehicles rather than LHD ones.

My MS-LR has been set up with easy entry since I got it but the other day I thought to try getting in without it so deleted it from the profile. Now I can't get it back! There appears to be no setting or menu which allows this - anyone?

I can’t find any way of driving at night with the headlights full beam short of keeping the light stalk pulled. On auto, the lights stay dipped and out of auto they won’t go full up with the stalk forward. The onscreen manual is unreadable when at night setting - necessarily in the dark to be...

Got home from a game of bowls this morning, parked in the garage, took the bowls bag out of the trunk and went inside. half an hour later had a message on my phone that the trunk was open - went into the garage to find it apparently shut. However, every time I tried to open it using the screen...

I fully understand - well, as much as anyone outside the Tesla programming coven - the difference between the Tesla range and actuality, but something odd worries me. If I set the onscreen “energy” page to say 10km average, the estimated range to the right jumps around by huge amounts second by...

I found out from my ISP when asking why my monthly data allowance was almost used up that an unusually large download occurred earlier this month. I wonder if the Beta FSD has been installed quietly, awaiting another update which would activate the “button” and allow access?

How accurate/reliable are the TPMS indications? Mine show differences between one day and the next - same temperatures etc - of 3 to 4 PSI up or down. That's each of the 4 wheels one day to the next. I've no wish to keep sticking air in but I would expect each day would be no more than 1 or...

OK, it's a clickbait heading.... My photo is intended to show that I have a gap where the fascia is fitted on one side of the car (It's a RH drive, in case you are confused in this forum) The driver's side has it completely flush but the pax side has this annoying gap big enough to slide your...

After 2021.4.12 on my S I have an odd charging behaviour. At home I keep it plugged into the HVWC and the SOC set to 70%. After the update there is the usual clanking of contactors and fan whirring about every three or four minutes, the car charges for a minute or so then stops until the next...

Here in Eastern Australia we are being hit with a La Nina - massive downpours and the inevitable flooded roads in places. Is there any hard information as to the effects of flood water on Teslas? Obviously (?) the battery pack is water resistant, but can the car drive safely through say 6" of...

...the year's complimentary data access is running out. Do you get a reminder, or have to get it by going to the account?
