Below is the UMC (2) update thread, if you’re not using your UMC regularly to charge your car it may not have had an opportunity to update. Try some of the techniques in the thread or contact Tesla to get your UMC tails updated...
Not sure about how BYDs work but if you ever need to show your Tesla, bring your UMC and plug it into your car. It won’t go into drive whilst in charging mode.
The 2013 Model S misses out on any Autopilot features and suffered from higher than normal battery issues.
I would ask Tesla to extend the AC drain pipe for you so it no longer drips on top of the battery and causes corrosion.
Other than that the battery is what it is and whilst has a low number...
About a year ago or more, Alexandria service could only offer me a new MCU at $2,500 to resolve the end of 3G issue.
There is now a permanent error message when you tap the 3G or WiFi icon.
“This vehicle currently contains a 3G modem.
Staring in 2022, many cellular network operators are...
The original Leaf happened during Carlos Ghosn’s leadership and Andy Palmer was the vehicle development manager. CG also lead the Nissan Renault merger. This did not sit well with other Japanese management and government.
CG was charged with embezzling money and escaped Japan to return to...
If you’re referring to my pre refresh Model S, it came with the V1 UMC, which is a different device to what you can now purchase a V2 UMC.
I have only used it on road trips and the 10A works at 10A, but that’s not what current Model 3/Y owners are dealing with.
P.S. To anyone reading this, if...
I would replace the power point with this. With 5 GPOs you can leave them all plugged in.

This refers to the Universal Mobile Connector (UMC). On new UMCs the adapters for 10A and 15A plug sockets only draw 8A and 12A respectively and the car (Model 3 or Model Y) will apply an update so they then work at the full 10A or 15A rate. However since the Highland Model 3 was released it...
15 Maddox Street Alexandria is a specialized Delivery Centre and is separate from The Bourke Road Alexandria Service Centre.
It's an industrial warehouse with a large capacity for cars so I don't think 100 cars a day is an exaggeration.
Random picture off Reddit, I haven't been there myself.
Based on the last time I was in Brisbane, mid last year, it’s desperately needed. I went to the Fortitude Valley Supercharger a number of times at different times of the day and it was always full and sometimes cars waiting.
Moderators note:
I am obviously too late to stop the above flame war as I can’t be here all the time.
I have edited a number of posts and deleted one and will place 48 hour bans on both protagonists.
Please remember that you can have different opinions and remain respectful.
Although for the legacy Model S and X the charge port is Type 2 or Mennekes, and up until the release of Model 3 all Superchargers in NZ used this plug and a second CCS2 plug was fitted to existing Superchargers. The newer Superchargers are now installed with CCS2 plugs only and Model S and X...
However if you compare the BYD Seal with the Model 3, the Model 3 travels circa 25% further on the same energy, based on the test results, and these are directly comparable vehicles. That’s a significant difference IMHO.
Like Vostoks post if you agree.
If there are a lot of likes I will move the posts.
However you should be aware it will sometimes make the threads hard to follow as posts are inserted chronologically.
IIRC Model S Signature deposit was $40,000 and standard production model deposit was $6,000. They may offer a standard reservation for the Roadster later on.

Modified title to Tesla Roadster II in Australia to distinguish between the original circa 2008 Roadster and the New upcoming Roadster as well as the thread being in the Australian forum.
I bought a cheap self applied ceramic coating kit to seal my wheels and the left over I applied yearly to my headlights and fog lights. After 9 years the headlights look close to new with no fading or yellowing, just one or two stone marks. The fog lights similarly are clear, but have suffered...
I use synthetic chamois to dry my car and when finished wipe down the parts of the interior that are heavy touch points.
So long as you do it regularly it works well, then I throw the chamois into the washing machine so it’s clean for the next time.
For the screen I put it in clean mode, wipe it...
No offer here for an original Model S owner. 🥺
Perhaps they have given up on me buying a replacement. 🤷🏻♂️
Biggest problem is that if I were to replace it, I would want a Model 3 but my partner wants a Model Y and we’re yet to come to an agreement.
Back when I was in the insurance industry, a CTP provider needed to show the authority that it had statistically significant data if they wish to introduce a new rating factor.
So this means they were able to show a relationship between demerit points and claim risk. Unfortunately there is no...
In the description I found:
“15A/10A 2-in-1◀ The plug side of this type 2 EV charger is an AU 15A plug. Alternatively, you can also use a AU 10 A Socket with the supplied Adapter (Just please dial down to 10 amps when using the 10A outlets.)”
So this means that when used in 10A mode, the user...
The 5 pin three phase plug is a common plug in remote and rural areas as it’s often used to connect welders and car lifts; it was also the plug chosen for the AEVA/TOCA remote charging network, so I would recommend using that plug.
I would also price the difference between 3 phase and single...

As it was your first charge, I wouldn’t charge overnight the next time and charge when you are home whilst keeping a close eye on the electricity circuit supporting the charging. Perhaps you have a wire getting too warm?
The Tesla Launch in Australia was December 9, 2014 where about a dozen Signature reservation holders had their cars delivered. The first standard production Model S were delivered at the very first Tesla Store in St Leonard’s on December 29, 2014. There were no stores in any other cities at the...
For the sake of $20, wouldn’t you go for the 22Kw version that allows a Model 3 or Y to charge at 11Kw?

Again, not an electrician, but the electrician that installed my wall connector also included an isolation switch directly adjacent to the wall connector. So in scenario 2, I would unplug the car first and then turn off the isolation switch to power down the wall connector.
Still a bit confused...
So someone plugs in more loads than a power board is clearly labeled and designed for and this results in a fire. Then this is the fault of the quality of the electrical installation not the end user.
Sorry I don’t follow, it appears to me to be a mistake of the end user.
All Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Nissan Leafs have the CHADEMO DC charge port and J1772 AC port. Later Australian delivered Gen 2 Leafs changed the AC port to type 2 but I think JDM versions did not.
In addition JDM market cars have Japanese language on the binnacle and centre screen. It’s...
I’m not an electrician and you do what you want with your house. I’m just passing on the information I received from an electrician. Back in 2008 when I built my house, I knew I wanted an EV one day so I had the house wired a 3 phase and installed a 32A 3 phase plug in the garage. When I bought...
The Australian/New Zealand wiring rules are different for temporary versus continuous loads. An Iron, kettle or hair dryer are not operated continuously for multi hour periods like an EV charger.
You missed the first double L. It’s Woolloomooloo.
The way I remember it is it’s all doubles until the M then it’s singles except for the Double O’s. “Double U, Double O, Double L, Double O, M, Double O, L, Double O.” 🤔
I decided to keep my 2014 Model S even after the warranty expired. I have had one out of warranty repair when the battery heater failed. They were able to remove and open the battery and replace the heater and a couple of coolant pipe junctions which they told me were starting to ’weep’, total...
This is an official video by Tesla titled “CGI IRL” available on YouTube for a while now.
I don’t speak or read Japanese but I don’t think this confirms a RHD Cybertruck at this point but would be happy to be wrong.
As you confess to being a newbie I’ll give you some more detail.
What you have bought is a Universal Mobile Connector, UMC for short, not a charger. The charger that includes an inverter to change AC from your house and put DC into your battery is in your car.
The primary job of the UMC is to...
I talked to Westfield Bondi Concierge today and the official line is that they are looking into alternatives but have no ETA of a replacement at this time.
Tesla says, "Charging current is reduced due to a detected fault in the adapter."
As it's a new UMC the adapter is probably a tight fit. Try removing and replacing the 10A adapter tail a few times.
