You’re welcome 😇

Normally, Home insurance covers liability on your property and Contents insurance has limited coverage for liability outside your property. However read your policy and check with your insurer first.

It was an Etiquette developed back when Superchargers were rare and new thing. Seems to have been forgotten more recently, but I think it should be promoted.

There is. Placing the cable over the top of the stall indicates it’s out of order.

The Star City Supercharger was rubbish anyway. You had to ask Valet parking for access, so you always felt you were imposing on them by not paying the Valet charge. Plus the tight turns were a kerb rash nightmare. So you didn’t miss much.

I won’t bring my Tesla to Auckland then. 🥺

Love the new chrome trim on the new models. 😉

I had the front of my Model S covered in PPF, then they applied a ceramic coating called Opticoat. At the time, 2014, you had to bring it back once a year for a top up. It lasted well until 2019 and I intended to have it redone in early 2020. I had a quote for the reapplication but then March...

I understand that Japanese electrical standards are similar to the USA. I know the standard household voltage in Japan is 110V but I’m not sure if you can have 240V circuits like you can in The USA. So are you talking about 50A @110V or 240V. 50A at 240V = 12Kw but Model 3 and Y are limited...

That’s a fairly low battery SOC to be starting the day with. Likely the battery and car were cold soaked and you would have used a bit to condition the interior. As lots of protections start to kick in at 20% SOC you may have found some limitations. Did you get any error messages? If so record...

That’s why my partner has a Telstra based sim and I have an Optus based Sim. If one network goes down we have the other.

Will let you know if I get them.

We have received many requests from Tesla and other sources, requesting the posts and threads be removed from TMC. In almost all cases the answer is no.

Fit My Car sell aftermarket floor mats for Model S. Mine are held down by 4 Velcro fasteners and have never got under the pedals. I am considering replacing them at 250,000Km as the pile is wearing and they are beginning to wrinkle...

I don’t think that many Powerwall 1’s would have been replaced due to capacity loss as it’s difficult to measure the existing capacity.

I find that whenever I get a buildup of dirt and or vinyl cloud on interior windows, I clean them with the car cleaning sponge or mit that has been dipped into the car wash bucket but carefully squeezed out before wiping the interior window surfaces. If the build up is significant it may take a...

Moderators note: Renamed thread as the Cybertruck tour extended beyond Sydney.

I’m assuming a software update fixed the failure to wake issue. Don’t think that DAB+ is there but is it wasn’t before, not sure where to look. In any case as the coverage is improved I use TuneIn radio stations as a replacement for the loss of AM and FM and didn’t apply for the FM tuner.

I agree with @Chuq and @Vostok that support for CHADEMO should be required on at least 1 machine at a public DC charger. However, I think it’s time to declare the war won by CCS2 and require in the ADRs all new vehicles to be compatible with CCS2.

Moderators note: Thread locked for a couple of weeks for everyone to calm down.

I would be careful where you use Ford Bluecruise. I can’t imagine it has been modified for driving on the left.

Now that I have got through the process, I’m happy with the result. I don’t need to reboot the screen regularly, coverage is clearly superior to MCU1 and the failure to wake has not returned. I currently have a 2017 iPhone 7 and am being pushed by Apple to upgrade as many apps want the latest...

Picture from PlugShare dated 12 April showing the same panel ajar which was the day it came out of the box. So likely shipping damage.

I’m the only “Boomer” not on FB.🤷🏻‍♂️ Pretty sure Holly, the mother, would be; she’s on everything else.

Hoping some Model Y owners can help. My niece owns a small car and has a little girl about 1 years old now. She and her husband intend to have at least one more but that will mean a bigger car. Uncle Mark is trying to steer them towards a second hand Model Y but he can’t answer any questions...

Moderators note: Why not both?

Is that the forward facing camera or the reversing camera? If it’s the reversing camera it may be the boot harness failing. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-3-the-model-3-trunk-harness-recall.252196/

I refer to my post, directly above yours.

I went through the Rozelle interchange last night and the tunnels are on the map, dashed lines, but the turn by turn directions didn’t recognise that we were in the tunnel and would give surface road directions which make it more confusing than without directions.

Moderators note: The “discussion” as to whose fault it was that the Benalla Superchargers did not get built has run its course, and both sides have had their say. I reserve the right to delete any further discussion on this specific topic going forward.

I had a similar issue when Tesla upgraded my MCU. They replaced the SIM and reception improved substantially.

My MCU1 was on its last legs and needed regular almost daily resets to maintain operation. I logged a request about the chip recall and Tesla responded with, “Sure we’ll replace the memory chip, but it will still not resolve the loss of connectivity when 3G is retired”. That’s when I decided to...

It’s a bit of a throwback to when we received Model S, X and the first Model 3s from the USA factory in Freemont California. The accuracy of fit and finish has never been world leading from that factory and 2019 when the first Model 3s arrived in Australia was at the tail end of production ramp...

I finally bit the bullet in February and had the MCU1 upgraded to MCU2 as the original MCU was becoming very slow and needed multiple resets on occasion to get it to function. Being one of the oldest Model S in Australia it needed additional hardware which brought the cost to $2,780. When I...

Yes, I believe Dubai cars are made in Shanghai so the trip will be of a similar length to cars destined for Australia. They may also be offloaded at Singapore like cars destined for Perth Western Australia. Have a read of this thread and you may pick up some useful information to help you...

Put the address of your final or furthest destination into your navigation. If it’s within the Tesla Supercharger network the car will do all the work for you, down to when you will get to the next charging stop, how long to charge and what state of charge you will have at each stop along the...

Almost didn’t comment as I anticipated a response like this. I am in favour of a less car centric city too and support many of the initiatives like bike lans and better public transport, it’s a complex subject. However my partner is an architect and specialised in multi dwelling buildings...

Not really a surprise at all, City of Sydney Council is fairly anti-Car of any type. They want you to take public transport, or ride your bike. This is fine if you’re going somewhere within Council area but more problematic for longer trips but happen to live in the Council area.

Moderators note: Thread title changed to included Free Standard Connectivity- -.

It’s Prince’s Highway with the apostrophe removed. Named after Prince Edward, later King Edward VIII, later after abdicating Duke of Windsor. Come to think of it, now that I know that fact, I think it needs a new name.

Will the car receive software updates? The car can receive updates over WiFi so I don’t see any reason why not. However the maps and navigation are locked to the home country so would not be functional. Do the maps work on US cars though, possibly not. Will the car infotainment language be...

Don’t doubt your experience. I too live in a cool environment, living in the Southern Highlands of NSW. I’m not defending Teslas position, but I also think the inspector is being unreasonable. But you live in the environment not me. Despite being very popular amongst the Uber crowd in Sydney...

Moderators note: It’s not appropriate to ‘Dare’ anyone. You’ve made your point and others have responded. To all members, please keep the conversation civil. Moderators hat off My Model S is 8.5 years old and gets washed weekly. It suffers from similar condensation, particularly in winter...

My powered strut failed under warranty at about year 2. So it does happen occasionally. New one at about 6 years later is rock solid.

Yes they do, only it’s not as featured as the iOS app. For example there’s no ‘Play Next’ feature on Tesla version of the app and you can’t pre download podcasts either. Both would be very useful to avoid having to touch the screen whilst driving.

Oh lovely! :mad: I’m in the middle of a Strata project to install charging for a basement car park of a large apartment building with 155 parking spaces. Will make the next meeting interesting.

Moderators Note: It’s a built in feature of the forum software to restrict and moderate usage of advanced features until a new member gains a minimum number of posts and it always has been. Negative comments about Tesla and or their products is allowed. The difficulty is when that becomes an...

I think 250Kw relates to the capacity of the charger, not sure what the max charge rate for Model 3 (LFP) but others may know. Initial state of charge, the temperature of the battery, ambient temperature, capacity of the site and number of other cars charging at the site can all make a...

If you must have an extension lead, search for welding machine extension cords like below. But all that others have said above still applies. https://unimig.com.au/product/15a-heavy-duty-extension-lead/

I think I have to agree that everything that could be said about the Supercharger team sackings has been said. So I will be reserving the right to delete any more comments on that subject going forward. I’m not going to create a new thread specifically for that topic here as it’s not an...
