Hey everyone, just an update to my experience after a few days of driving it around and some quick, poorly taken pics after all work has been finished.
One pedal driving - You get used to it after 20-30mins of properly using it, it is strange at first but honestly can't see myself going back after this, it will be strange if I need to drive a different car
. I think I've used the brake pedal once or twice over my 250km. Also I was thinking..."does the brake light ever get used then? Which I quickly saw at home that when you release the pedal and regen kicks in, the brake lights do actually come on
.
Autopilot - I did get the EAP and used it for about 85% of the drive from Sydney to Newcastle. The auto lane change is honestly the best feature of it and the car basically drove itself. I found I was putting to much tension on the wheel and it kept disengaging Autopilot, but finding that sweet spot and everything was great. One thing i did notice was that if a vehicle changed lanes and did sudden braking then autopilot would very quickly disengage (at a distance that I consider far and could easily adapt itself) and i would have to take over.
Audio/Premium Connectivity - I am a bit of an audiophile and let just say I love the car's system. Linked up both Spotify and Tidal and tested differences. Tidal on Hifi is something else, but Spotify sounds great so. I did hotspot the phone as I found it was quicker 5g speeds than the car's LTE connection (still currently on the premium connectivity 30 day trial they give you on delivery day) but I probably will not be renewing it once it expires.
Charging - I used the local supercharger yesterday afternoon, 20% - 80% took 25mins, started at ~130kWh but towards the end dipped lower a bit. One thing i forgot to do was after the charge was done and got to 80%, i went to unplug but it was still locked, had to go back in and unlock charge port from inside (a button on the charging page). Once i pressed that, i was able to unplug. With the current rate @ 0.68/kWh, I charged 38kWh = $25.84.
Oh, I also got my first "Tesla wave" around town
. Hopefully this has helped/given some insight and if anyone has any questions, more than happy to help if I can.
