Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

So I heard on another forum that you can improve dc charging speed by placing a wet towel around the cable. Anyone try this

This is for older NACS, doesn’t affect our CCS connectors.

The latest version is currently 4.32.7

Hmm yep im all up to date on the app and phone side of things. I am using the iOS beta 17.5 version though. I wonder if this is causing an issue. Ill try go back to stable and see if there's a difference.

Do you have an Android?

Nah, I'm on an iPhone 14.

Thanks team!

Dropped car in to Tesla Service at Tonsley.

Very friendly and professional greeting and dropping off.
As the indicator issue hasn’t occured since the latest software update we agreed to just monitor that and just look at the steering squeak.

It’s a little tricky to find, don’t use the link in the service thing, just type in “Tesla Service” and it takes you here.

Few new M3H here including Red, some X and S too.

Might be an hour or two so just getting a coffee.

@Jules22 there is a Red m3h here too, looks Wickid.

Yeah I passed my first ultra red this morning I think. On Horse Park Drive if it was anyone here.

The model S looks so good. It’s like being punched in the face by something really classy.
There was a McLaren looking thing with a Tesla badge on the front too. Not sure what that was about.

Also for anyone else new to this, your app looks like this during repair..

The SA also said if I get bored to come back and see him for an Uber voucher. Very kind.

I might just curl up in a garden bed and have a nap.

They usually give out $60 uber voucher for going wherever you need to go / return. Anything left over gets cancelled.

I could go and get another tattoo while I wait..
How good is that tho, for all the years I’ve bought ICE cars no one has offered that. It’s either get in a mini bus for a drive-of-shame or walk.

Yeah many years ago I used to get a loan car when I had my ICE serviced.

They started charging for that ages ago though and you have to book like 6 months in advance to have any chance of getting one.

Last time I went to Toyota I was offered a bicycle...

They would offer you a Bz4x these days and I’d be asking if the bicycle was available instead

This service centre would make a perfect delivery centre. It’s so big with heeeeeaps of room.
Was that ever a thing @paulp ? I think you mentioned taking delivery out the front of the Mitsubishi building, I wonder why they don’t do deliveries here?

Repair in Progress.

I can’t eat any more sushi or drink any more coffee.

I do not recommend this soda flavored Pepsi. It tastes like spewing up a mixture of southern comfort, warm VB and stomach bile.

 

[dronus]

All done

Are you sure that's not just a sensory memory triggered by lying in a garden bed?

That's a first-generation Tesla Roadster. The body is based on the Lotus Elise.

The red one is the performance car going to the airport for test drives

Great number plate (RTFM). More people should do so.
