    Mobile Service in Newcastle

    They don't charge any additional costs. The tech usually visits every second Wednesday and does all Newcastle/Hunter appointments at the same time.

    Sunshades in Australia

    I don't believe the windscreen or roof shape changed between 2020 and 2021 models?

    Supercharger - Sydney (Forest Lodge), NSW

    Lived next door to tramsheds for a few years when owning an EV, the EV spots are almost always ICE'd and those spots are super hard to reverse into. This is a terrible spot for a supercharger.

    Charging is tripping circuit breaker

    What is the rating of the breaker that's tripping? It'll have a number on it, 32 or 40?

    A few sizeable changes on the Model 3 configurator today: - White interior now available as an option on all variants (previously just Performance only) - SR+ can be optioned with the 19" wheels - Door cards now have the dash-trim on them - As the USA website still does not have the dash trim on...

    NRMA fast charging network

    I do keep hearing rumours that one of either Evie or ChargeFox will be opening a fast charger location at the M1 twin servos at Wyong, unsure of the legitimacy of it. However, they are Caltex and Evie has recently partnered with them (Seven Hills for example with Caltex branding on the chargers).

    Northern Sydney Showroom and Service Centre - Chatswood

    Wouldn't make sense having two superchargers on the north shore so close to each other. Would prefer they invest in superchargers in Western Sydney somewhere.

    Tesla for P Plate NSW

    Will make a recommendation, put the money you have saved for a Tesla into Tesla stocks, by the time you're on your black licence you'll have enough to buy multiple! I would also suggest looking at insurance costs for a P-Plater driving a Tesla, I suspect you'll struggle to find insurers that'll...

    Evie EV charging networks

    I really hope it's just a 50kw. This location would be a huge waste of a 350kw charger.

    Front Suspension

    Ok. This is the exact sound I had in my 2017 Model S and Tesla told me it was a known issue, after 6 months of their engineering team looking for a resolution for all owners with this issue, they replaced my front suspension struts with a new version under warranty. It's a known fault. Here's...

    Am I written off?

    I'm gonna say 99% write off, if it was just external damage, maybe, but with the airbags and restraint systems also gone off, won't be worth fixing.

    That is a dual-output Type 2 charger though, so that'll feed the two spots on the right.

    ChargeFox EV charging Network

    Unfortunately I'd hardly call Goulburn "Active" I have a 50% success rate there with the chargers being down, and I charge in Goulburn a lot... If I didn't have the superchargers close by as a backup, I'd be so mad.

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    In addition to this... I think I may have discovered a HDMI input port on the Refresh no one has noticed... Parts catalog update looks suspiciously HDMI-shaped. Can't be USB, as the USB ports have moved to the rear of the cubby:

    Dealing with ICEholes, don't lose your cool

    Is... is that sarcasm? It's an EV... Using an EV charger... If you think there's a problem he's using an EV charger that is Tesla branded... That's a little elitist don't you think?

    Are there any rangers in Australia?

    Certainly are! I know of some in each capital city on the east coast. Newcastle also gets visits from rangers every few months up from Sydney and does a few of our cars all at once.

    Issue: AP Tracking Vehicles in Adjacent Lanes

    Hey guys, Anyone else having this issue the past 2 or 3 software versions? AP is tracking vehicles in adjacent lanes and slowing, sometimes aggressively, to match their speed. AP has even tracked a vehicle in an adjacent lane that was behind me and slammed the brakes on. This is happening...

    Should Teslas (& EVs) cop luxury car tax?

    The cars you listed are for carrying goods (Utes), Model X is not, that's the difference. Realistically, LCT needs to be abolished completely. It was brought in to encourage Australians to buy locally built cars (Aus built cars did not attract LCT). Australia now does not build any cars at all...

    NRMA fast charging network

    I can see them just partnering with Chargefox and linking to see if you're an NRMA member or not. ChargeFox already have the infrastructure in place but NRMA would have to build from scratch the charger-monitoring systems, payment systems, etc.

    NSW’s plans for EVs to 2025 and net-zero emissions by 2050

    Really a pitiful effort for "New Actions": - Try and buy 1 in 10 NSW gov vehicles as EV or Hybrid (at least make this full EV only) - EV Bus Trial (this has been going on for a while already and is a single bus), why not make this "Replace x number of routes with EV buses by X date"?? - Just...

    Financing a Model 3

    Straight off the bat, almost no insurance company will insure you if you're under 25, and if they do it'll be reallllly expensive. I've struggled to find insurance for a reasonable price for my previous Model S (bought at 26) and my current Model 3 (bought at 28). The closer you get to 30 the...

    NRMA fast charging network

    Offical NRMA Plushare account added a bunch more charger just now that aren’t listed on the NRMA rollout map, including two chargers in SA! This will complete the Sydney to Adelaide DC fast charging link without going via Vic. they also added scone!

    Supercharger - Maclean , NSW (Prev. Harwood)

    This still upsets me, the non-testa DCFC networks are problematic at best, I regularly check recent activity on plugshare and the amount of times NRMA and chargefox chargers have faults is unacceptable. Not to mention many sites have a single charger, so a fault means people get stranded...

    How to: Model 3 Constant 12V for Dashcam

    Did this for many reasons: - Don't fully trust Teslas dashcam or sentry mode, I have seen loads of people having issues with footage not recording, blank files, gaps in footage. - Sentry mode does not work when the car is under 20% charge, this covers for that. - TeslaCam front camera is not...

    How to: Model 3 Constant 12V for Dashcam

    I cut off the cable from the 12V adapter and soldered (Australian spelling, yes) directly to the cars wiring. 650S (without a rear cam) works perfectly on the varying voltages, I haven't tested it with a rear camera installed. Has been installed since January and still working fine.
