I'm not criticising Tesla, just making a point that in a location where you have a lot of EV owners travelling to for weekends etc (especially Sydney's closest wine region), it would make sense to have some high speed chargers in that area. I don't care if it is Tesla, Evie or Chargefox, I just...

Hollydene is too far away and quite a few of the destination chargers either don't work, hidden away or already have cars charging. Really needs to be some fast chargers in Cessnock (and not the 50kW NRMA)

I totally agree with this. Also, what about the Hunter Valley? Teslas everywhere and limited charging

I was looking forward to getting the new plaid S, selling my 5 yr old 100D. Really annoyed with Tesla now. Think I’ll keep the 100D for a couple more years and see what the Polestar 5 offers when it is released. Some of the brand loyalty built up over many years will now be lost in RHD markets...

Really bugs the hell out me when I'm travelling down the Pacific Motorway at 110km/h and it does that. I've found coming south on the bridge at taree is where it always brakes. I end up turning off cruise control

When you get the CCS2 upgrade do a local check on NRMA chargers before you head off. When mine was installed I could charge at Chargefox 350kW (and subsequently evie 350kW) but I kept getting errors when attempting to charge on the NRMA network. Took it back to Tesla service who said it was all...

I find on road trips the % remaining is pretty accurate when I put the destination in nav. Almost always I get 1-2% higher battery remaining than what was estimated. In my S 100D I usually get around 500km from a full charge when driving at 100-110km/h I agree on the non-Tesla chargers. Use the...

That is correct as you have a 3-phase inverter. The 3-phase inverter needs to "see" the grid (or a source like the PW2) on each phase in order to operate. In a blackout it only sees one phase (the PW2). With a single phase inverter connected to a PW2 during a blackout the inverter is "seeing"...

Definitely a CT clamp issue...easy fix. Hope someone gets out to fix very soon

Sounds to me like they haven't installed the CT clamps correctly. Readings will be really weird if they aren't connected correctly (they need to be on the correct wire, orientated correctly and then configured correctly in the tesla installation app). I had this happen years ago when my PW2 was...

What sort of highway range are you getting out of your raven? My 2018 S 100D gets about 500km, so I'm interested to know just how much extra I could get if I pulled the trigger on a raven. 500 works, but an extra 100 would be even better

I've had this since I got my S 100D in aug 2018. They have replaced the front struts 3 times. Noise goes away for a while and then comes back. There is a topic in the main S thread. I've resigned myself to this never being fixed properly and the doink doink doink noise over bumps at low speed...

Check that all your cameras and sensors are clean. I've found in the past that when the car is dirty, or a camera or multiple sensors have insect remains on them I get the warning that autopilot is disabled. As soon as I go around and wipe all the cameras and sensors with a damp cloth it works...

Thanks, I'll follow up with Tesla as there must be some issue with mine

I know I'm from the other side of the world, but I'm experiencing the same issue on 50kW chargers. I too have a 2018 model S retrofitted for CCS2. Works fine on 350kW CCS2 chargers (and CCS2 on Tesla SC), but when I plug it into 50kW CCS2 chargers it starts to charge then 2 seconds later throws...

Does your CCS2 conversion work fine on NRMA's chargers?

Update: taken a while for to get around to it, but I went over to the zetland (east village) chargefox chargers and tried charging using my model S CCS2 adaptor. The 350kW chargefox charger worked fine, but the 50kW charger (which is the same as the NRMA Nabiac one) started charging but then...

I'm not a violent person, but when I see acts like that I just want to pick up a baseball bat. Hopefully she will be recognised and charged

My understanding is this won't work, as the PW2s would need to be talking to each other such that each phase is 120 degrees apart (required for appliances that use 3-phase power like ducted AC, which will be damaged if the phases aren't corrected synced). AFAIK this isn't possible with PW2s yet...

I suspect this: A Porsche Taycan Burned Down In Florida | CleanTechnica Although the cause is still being investigated. If it was a Tesla it would be front page news everywhere

I disagree. Sitting on the M1 from Raymond Terrace to Nambucca Heads with AP on makes the trip much less fatiguing. I just sit there with my arm resting on the steering wheel and it does it all with barely an issue for 300km. Not having to steer or continually press the accelerator is far more...

I'm going to go over there on the weekend to give it a try...want to make sure it's not something with my CCS2 upgrade

Yes, but I save that for remote flats.

They are free, so you just turn up, plug in, push the buttons and they charge

The one thing that annoys me about Teslas is the lack of a spare, even spacesaver. I got a flat on a Friday afternoon in Sydney, called the assist number and they said someone would be there within an hour with a replacement wheel and would then exchange. Two and a half hours later I called...

Has anyone used this in the past week? I was going through on the weekend and since I just has CCS2 installed in my S I thought I would give it a go. Plugged in, pushed all the correct buttons and it started to charge at 50kW** then 2 seconds in the charge cut out and the NRMA charger displayed...

Yes, see this thread: Tesla St Leonards to close

So you bought yourself a Christmas present!

No mine is white and I only saw an X charging (apart from Coffs where there was a performance 3). Your 50kW rates probably about right for around 70% charge, as my rate had dropped to around that when I disconnected at 78%

I managed to get an initial charge rate of 127kW on my 2018 model S (battery was at 25%) this weekend at Heatherbrae (and I had 126kW at Port Macquarie on Friday night with initial charge at 32%). I have never achieved this charge rate before. Anyone else noticed a difference?

He didn't answer your question. 6 posts..he's a troll trying to badmouth Tesla.

I found if you say the words with an American accent it recognises them better (seriously...try it)

They definitely need a second service centre in Sydney given the large (and increasing) number of Model 3s now hitting the streets. I think by early 2020 the number of Tesla cars in Sydney will be double what it was 6 months ago.

Couldn't agree more. Willoughby is Tesla central

My choice to eat on the way up/back from mid north coast is the Salty Dog at Coolongolook (about an hour north of heatherbrae and right on the highway). They do great fish and chips, and I've been stopping there for the past 10 years

Hey Vedaprime, what is your current estimate for total number of model 3s delivered here so far? I think (apart from tesla) you have the best handle on this

That is amazing. I'm averaging 202Wh/km on a pre-Raven 100D with 15000km on the clock. Still get 500km+ of real world range, but that Raven is sure looking attractive.

It's your sister

This weekend I drove past 14 different model 3s in Sydney, plus a few S and X. A couple of weeks ago I'd be hard pressed to spot one model 3 when driving around. The Tesla invasion has begun...

OK a few weeks have passed so time to bump this for a few more responses....

Because Teslas are great cars...no other EV (or ICE) comes close.

So has anyone asked what is going to happen to the St Leonards SCs? I live 5 minutes from them and are super convenient...will be a real bummer if they are removed

So why did you accept delivery of your Tesla?

Most are minor blemishes/cosmetic issues that are being/will be rectified, not structural or performance issues. Yes Tesla should be detailing the cars properly prior to delivery, but they have the stupid end of quarter delivery targets plus everyone screaming at them for their cars. As someone...

Congratulations! You've done a huge amount of work tracking ships/vehicles, which every model 3 buyer on here should be eternally grateful. I hope your car is perfect when you pick up and you enjoy it as much as I think you will

But you don't own a model 3 and have never owned a Tesla, and from your recent posts you haven't ordered a 3 (or have cancelled). Actually from your previous posts it seems you cancelled your reservation in June 2018 and again in Jun 2019, or did you? Something doesn't add up. Short seller?

You completely missed my point. So called issues like panel alignment and paint issues have been overblown by a massive short campaign to saturate the internet with negativity regarding Tesla vehicles, so people will have second thoughts about buying. Tesla buyers (like many on here) are now...

Pretty much sums it up. And I bet you never did this with any other car you have ever purchased. Like another member posted a few days ago, he saw the panel gaps then went to check his VW GTI and...whoops, they weren't very good (think he said worse). Of course there are issues that need to be...

So we run another poll in 6 months. I'm thinking of another poll question....did you go over all your previous cars with a fine tooth comb when taking delivery? What do you think, so we run that poll?

Sorry for those still waiting, but hopefully you'll be able to vote soon too.
