Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Bets on how long until the next update from Tesla will be?

Hmmm not sure…maybe next week?

Hey everyone,

Currently driving around in the new model 3 after having it delivered and it’s awesome.

Quick question though as this is my first EV: How low do you let the battery go to before you put it on charge? My cars battery is currently on 81%.

On a side note: The indicators on the wheel took a few seconds of getting used up. TBH I prefer this set up over traditional stalks.

Also the gear shift on the screen is a non issue.

For day to day driving, I plan to let it go down as low as 10%ish and just charge when it's convenient for me (or when there is a negative tariff), roughly once a week.

Unless I have a big drive coming up, I see no reason to worry about charging it up other than when it's most convenient.

I usually charge once a week. I don’t have a long commute to work, so the once a week charge works perfectly for me.

Recommend by a lot to never let below 20%ish but I could be wrong. I never let my old M3 below 20%

Had 0% degradation on sale

Those who previously owned Teslas or, those who have recently received delivery, what does your internal cabin temp typically sit at? I’ve noticed mine is unusually high (28c) even though external is lower, and car hasn’t been used for hours.

Thinking maybe heat from battery - but odd…

Yeah about 28 for my old M3, can help to have it covered or a sun shade if out doors

yeah, LOTS of conflicting info out there, but my understanding is as long as it's not sitting at near 0% or near 100% for long periods of time, it is just fine. (no expert that's the best I've been able to come up with by looking at all of the various bits of information which often is conflicting)

Lots of people here love (BYD) Tom and this might be helpful

Mine was on the DJ as well, but my EDD has updated to 29/1-19/2 - a little bit longer to wait than you both I guess!

 

[X Æ A-12]

Well my EDD start of Jan 20 is seeming like an Elon promise.
