Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

So I was driving home from the gym tonight with the windows open, ice cube blaring and me trying to catch my breath and not spew.
Then I was thinking, you never see teslas driving around with their windows open.

Is that a thing?

Do you ever drive your m3 with you windows open to let the fresh air in and the farts and pubes out?

Maybe people in Adelaide just keep their windows shut so they don’t get car jacked or a durrie butt to the face from some twat in a Mitsubishi triton…

Fart in my car you’re out

Does the phone have to be unlocked (faceid, watch in proximity etc) to unlock the car? How far away from the car does your phone have to be so that someone else can’t unlock or open the car?

The phone doesn't have to be unlocked - it would be pretty annoying if it did - but the car does measure the proximity and it has to be close (in my tests, within about 2-3 metres of the car). The Bluetooth range is a lot longer than this - out to 30m or more - but that's not enough on its own to activate the proximity unlock.

Set PIN-to-drive as well, though. Someone might lift your phone, after all.

Eye spy….

Looks like they are extending that pier, added another bridge to it. Clearly Tesla sees no sign of slowing down any time soon.

From memory they are adding a whole new pier and holding yards, etc. The factory itself also has some pretty major expansion happening, but the speculation was that is for powerwall production.

at about 3:20 is that a bunch of RHD?

Yep

 

[FilthyCyberRat]

Yep

ITS HAPPENING!!!!

 

[Jules22]

ITS HAPPENING!!!!

Just to temper expectations, this is South Port, it seems all of the Aus ships are docking at the northern port so far, so they may be for other regions.

That said though, it does confirm that RHD production is well under way, hopefully we'll be hearing something within the next week.

I found sometimes the car doesnt pick up the phone even when standing next to car and you try to open the door or boot and it takes a few seconds or I have to take phone out and unlock. I used the PIN to drive for about 2 days then it became so annoying I turned it off. Maybe if I was in Compton I may consider it but I dont see any immediate threat to having someone steal my phone to steal my car

ahh cheers yeah sorry i was on my phone and it didnt show
Very nice!

 

[Cocoboy]

Cool thanks for the info. I guess I am just concerned that if where my phone is at night is too close to the car, someone could just walk up to it and open the doors and steal stuff etc.
I guess I could set an automation to disable Bluetooth connections to the car or the Tesla app while my phone is in sleep focus… hmm will have to try and remember to test that.
I was just curious how you guys manage that or if it’s not really an issue

I doubt the crims down the Port are smart enough to be doing a relay attack or know that the car is controlled via the phone. As you walk away the car honks to let you know its locked and mirrors fold in. As long as that happens and you don't turn back to the car then you will have no problems.

To be a tight ass in SA you need to have that combination of letters and numbers so you can cheap out and not have to pay each year.

At the Port about 3 seconds after you walk away youll find yourself in your own car boot, phone and all.

Anyone get a VIN yet?

Anyone get a VIN yet?

lol, trust me if someone get's a VIN or any other notification you won't need to ask ;-)

I'm not expecting anything to happen until Morning Crystal docks in the next few days.
