I'm not sure what the protocol is, I thought about a quick horn beep, but thankfully remembered I still have La cucaracha as my horn sound, so obviously didn't.
I thought he might like my wheels, he still had the aero covers on his. But no, we missed our chance to be connected for a moment. Judging by his number plate this isn't his first Tesla, so maybe it is is a different, more business as usual, experience for him I guess.
I look forward to seeing my next one with a nerdy geek driving it instead.
Im guessing superchargers would be a good place to start.
Youd get similar attention levels than taking a puppy dog to an acai bar.
There's obviously a big difference between you, as a party to the contract, not fulfilling your obligations under that contract (eg. by making illegal modifications to the car) and the actions of a third party.
No doubt there's some clause under which they can cancel the insurance for any reason as well, but that'd require a notification and refund of unused premium, and if they don't see any reason why the change would have made your policy suddenly unprofitable, they're not going to do this. I mean, did you hear of anyone having their insurance cancelled when half of the cars out there had the Takata airbags that were killing people with shrapnel?
Likely you have an obligation to get recalls carried out in a timely manner though.
Yes, they suck. I have found a fix though, and works most of the time.
I just plant my foot down whenever I get the chance, like a rocket, and the water instantly clears from the windscreen. Doesn't matter where I am, or who is in front of me, I accelerate to 80kph as quickly as I can most times. To be fair I also do this when it is dry, so not just a rain thing.
Looks like the Highland will finally make use of the matrix headlights with 2024.2 Diskussion zu Fahrzeugsoftware V11.1 2024.2

I was going to install a switch which reverses the fans that draw air into the cab from under the windscreen so it blows all the water off.
Added bonus fart and pube extractor.
Might suggest it to S3XY buttons
Will have to get some of those grill things made up that go on the footwell air outlest but for the airvent across the dash so it collects all the pubes. Can just use magnets so its easy to remove and bang against a tree or cyclist to clean.
Okay anyone who has taken delivery I have a photo request. Everyone has seemed certain even early build highlands have received HW4 but I've really struggled to actually find solid confirmation. Is anyone who's taken delivery here able to get a happy snap of some of the camera lenses? I wanna see that red tint to confirm!
Thanks Jules, I would but I'm deliberately holding out on seeing one in the flesh till I'm driving away in it
In pre highland rental, not seen full speed panic mode yet but normally needy to tap the button to initiate the wipers.
I’ve not seen condensation inside either even with -6 C outside. Mind you it was dark and not the first thing I looked for. Had to de-ice with spray and a windscreen squeegy.

As much as we might be upset about delays, the sooner this was reported and resolved, the better for everyone. Even if you have no kids, resale options for a five seater are better for a five seater than a four. Looks like a dumb oversight but sh#t happens and who hasn’t done something dumb. Just hoping delay is minimal.You know I have been really panicky and worried this arvo that the posts here were the reason this has all blown up.
But I have just found a thread on the Facebook group Tesla Owners Australia that was started on the 24th Dec by someone who posted that their car didn’t have the child seat tether.
A couple of users commented that they have made complaints, one to a friend of hers in the Aussie car standards department.
So don’t worry too much, it wasn’t your question or my responses that has publicised this.
Tesla Owners Australia | Model 3 highland owners: | Facebook
Model 3 highland owners: Can you please check if there is an anchor point behind the middle rear seat to tether car seat? It looks like Tesla has done some cost cutting and removed the middle one....www.facebook.com
Hoping the poster on FT is not getting hate as they’re doing us a favour reporting soon as.
A guy at my work bought an Atto3. He got in early. The first week he had space each side. Haha no chance of dings there but a coupe weeks later, no one bothered avoiding anymore.
