    Powerwall 2 app request

    I have time of use metering here in Sydney Australia. Our power is extremely expensive. Recently my power retailer introduced special rates for electric vehicles. This means i have the following rate periods:- Peak, shoulder, off-peak, and special off-peak. The app only allows one to specify the...

    Tesla St Leonards to close

    I had a strong feeling not long ago that St Leonards was not long for this world. Well, today there is a notice for DA that the site is to be changed to a Reece showroom and sales center. Typical that they don’t let us know that the North Shore service center is closing. I guess the...

    Wifi connection, St Leonards

    My hardware version 1 car will not connect to the guest wifi at st Leonard’s. Had a tech look at it while there and he couldn’t get it to connect either. My phone and iPad had no problem. I am on the latest software, updated a day ago. Anyone else with the same issue? Irritating because with the...

    ?Drop off of rate of charge at Supercharger St Leonards

    Hi. I have free supercharging for life. I have noted a drastic slowing of charge rate down to around 35kwH even when the battery is quite low. I seem to recall the charge rate being over 100 when battery was at low levels. Are they trying to discourage us from supercharging? If so, this is...

    Insurance. It is that time of the year again.

    In the process of getting comprehensive quotes. NRMA Is around $3900 odd with and agreed value of 117000 odd on my 4 year old car. That does not include unlimited car hire which would take it to around $4500. Budget direct is just over a grand BUT agreed value is 98000 odd. Would need to include...

    Spotify on version 9

    since “upgrading”, my car does not want to log in. Anyone else? Not much of an upgrade in my opinion. Everything bland grey. Especially for AP1 cars.

    Mobile Eye vs AP1 & 2

    All this is crazy. The full potential of AP1 has not been realised yet. Given the break with Mobileye, it is likely that it never will be, which is a crying shame. Now that Intel owns Mobileye, one could have hoped for some reconciliation, but it seems Elon continues to insist on vertical...

    Anybody get the latest update with new Nav yet?

    AP1. Stuck on 2017 42. Have they stopped roll out.

    Seems that there is a pause in the roll out. I really want easy entry, but it only came in with 2017 44.

    Insurance

    ok, so I am due for renewal on my 3 year old car. What quotes have folks been getting lately? Sig S 85. Best comprehensive that I have seen so far with $1450 excess has been $2394 with AAMI. Tesla insurance this year is fractionally cheaper but without the same benefits.

    Generation 1 bumper bar with sensor holes for sale.

    not sure if this is the correct place, but this is Australia, not the USA, so I have chosen not to use the sale thread in the main forum. $650.00 . Will need respraying and the two centre sensor brackets plus the T logo. Available in Sydney. Does fit in the back of a model S, just. May be...

    Bicycle carrier

    i have been using a Whispbar rack and Thule bike carrier for the 2.5 years I have owned the car. Unfortunately the rack whistles even when the Thule is removed and it does not look good. I decided to try something different and bought the Seasucker. They have a distributor in Australia. This...

    How is the linked key fob supposed to work?

    Ok. So I linked my fob to my profile. When I park in my garage and change the profile to park ( pushes seat back, lifts steering wheel). On returning to car and get in, nothing happens. I thought the profile should automatically revert to that fob which opened the car? So, I notice no difference...

    New software update due this week

    suggest an update thread be made sticky. Any review of AP can only be a good thing. I think ver 8 broke it.

    Is this a new bug?

    just returned from a road trip to Victoria. Autopilot worked well most of the time. However and this happened more than once and on various expressways, the correct speed limit of 110 was displayed, AP cruising at that speed, when for no discernible reason message flashes up AP RESTRICTED TO...

    Mechanical issues

    I thought that it was time we had one of these here. Moderator, make this a sticky? With the warmer weather, i have been driving lately with the roof and windows open and aircon off. I have noticed a metallic clicking which is inconsistent, although today i finally worked out how to make it...

    Software update

    New update going in now. I suspect only bug fixes to judge from USA website. But, if so, seems to be a VERY fast rollout this time. Virtually simultaneous with USA.

    Software updates in Australia

    I think there would be some benefit to posting which updates are received by whom and when, including car specification to determine if a specific update is restricted to a specific configuration. Perhaps this could be made a sticky? My configuration is below. For the record, no map update or...

    Strange minor issue with the car.

    Was away for the last ten days, and car was NOT left on charge. I could not connect via the app while away as it could not wake the car. On return, no issues starting and driving but 3G did not connect for the entire 28km drive home from the under cover car park at the airport. (Park N Fly)...

    Proximity sensors (reversing sensors)

    Before I run to service, do any of you get an audible tone as you approach an object? I don't, just the changing colour arc and distance measurements. There is also no options in this regard in the settings area.

    Phone app

    The phone app for iOS was updated today. Sounds for the notifications is now finally available. You do have to turn them on however. Go to notifications in settings, scroll down to Tesla, and you will see a radio button for sounds. This is version 2.3.

    Issues with the car

    Thought this might be worth a new thread. Washed my car last weekend using a pressure washer. Some water got into the left rear lens at the end of the strip bearing the TESLA name - not sure if that is the reversing light or not. However, there is condensation in there, which I will be showing...

    Mobile app.

    When supercharging, the app provides notification of commencement and completion time on the iPhone. I have a 4S. However, I do not get an audible tone., as I do with say MESSAGES. Has anybody got audible? If so how? The app does not have the option in settings which is there for other programs...

    Is it possible to train the voice recognition?

    My car does not seem to like my accent, and routinely fails to bring up the correct name in my contacts list, and occasionally fails to recognize the command itself. Even using the correct limited commands it is supposed to recognise.

    Rdio. Any technical help available?

    Just got my car yesterday in Australia. Signed up for a free Rdio account, but car says it cannot use a basic account. Suggested that because i signed up over the web, that might be the problem. Then i deleted that account, downloaded the app to my iPad and recreated the account. Same problem...

    Suggested super charger locations, Sydney only

    I suggest a unit at the Service centre. Depending which side of the bridge that is located, i also suggest the Home Maker centre in Reserve road, St Leonards, and the Super centre at Moore Park. The latter has easy access for those coming in from the South and the former access, but not totally...

    The iPhone app

    Well, now that some of us apparently have cars in transit, should we not be able to download the app? I can't find it on the app store and it is not on my dashboard. Any one with knowledge about this in the USA or Europe, please respond.

    Rearview mirror - has anyone removed the cowling surrounding it?

    They are not delivering cars with Homelink to Australia. No idea why not. I want to install an aftermarket mirror with home link included. Gentex corp make Homelink, they also apparently make the electrochomatic mirrors for Tesla as an OEM. So, my question i:- has anyone opened the cowling up...

    New Michelin airless tires

    Does anyone on this forum have any info on these? No more Fix-a-flat, no more air compressors, no more spare tires, no more auto jacks, no more tools rattling in the trunk. Will it reduce the price of cars? Will it reduce the cost of roadside service? Will some businesses go out of business...

    Puddle lights - new twist

    Hi, i saw a post in the company forum regarding this site on e bay. Currently, they don't make a version for the Tesla. It would, however be the perfect solution, totally non destructive. My correspondence with them is self explanatory. Can someone oblige them and perhaps all can then benefit...

    Mobile charging for Australia

    David RM and Dborn are in the process of investigating in depth what can be done to facilitate “mobile” charging. Tesla has indicated that only a low power wall connector will be supplied for Australia that is, one that can be set for any of the following 10, 20, 32, or 40 amps. This unit needs...

    Spare tire solution

    Without adding much expense, Tesla could provide a hard point say on the sidewall of the trunk with a thumbscrew and plate. Then, it becomes a proposition for the owner to supply the spare wheel in the knowledge that it can be safely transported and will not be a missile hazard in the vehicle...

    interior trim questions

    Upcoming Australian pricing - help needed from Tesla management

    I wish I COULD order!

    We in Australia have been waiting very patiently - coming up for three years.... How about a Christmas present of at least some form of official announcement rather than the deafening silence we are getting. RHD is a reality, at least foe England, so why not us?
