New Owner (To Me) 2015 P90DL

[Nobody Famous]

Well bought mate. Just couldn't get my head around the interior colour. Would've done my head in long term.

I'm a boring conservative nearing 40 IT Professional coming from owning Jags... Gray is in my blood

 

[Nobody Famous]

I'd would've settled for the cream, the white, the off white, the bone, the ivory or the beige. That or black.

Curious too on the Free Supercharging or not too.

I believe vehicle was traded in to Tesla in Sydney and then Resold by Pickles

So I think supercharging for free had been removed

Supercharging for cars of that age is supposed to stay with the car regardless of owner. When I sold my 85D its free supercharging went with it. Yours has come via tesla though, so who knows what they might have done

Sold privately absolutely.

But this seemingly came via Tesla so they can do what they want.
Actually surprised that they didn't remove Ludicrous mode (although on that Model it was a hardware and software upgrade)

 

[BCTS]

Well sitting in the supercharging bay at Cremorne (Richmond) and it's charging as we speak...

Car still isn't registered in my name at this stage... So it appears that it's supercharging for free...

 

[BCTS]

Well it's showing $4.70 worth of Supercharging.....seems like someone got billed for it

 

[Nobody Famous]

It still shows the cost of the charge ️ even if you aren’t charged

Theres no benefit in Tesla removing Ludicrous mode, that's a potential selling point for curious passengers.

I still enjoy AM Radio .

You can stream all the AM Stations through Tune In on the MCU. The audio quality is far superior to AM but it’s subject to the vagaries of 3G coverage. We are big AM radio listeners too, but have not used the AM receiver in years.

I've noticed this today... I started out trying to use AM but the receiver is quite weak and eventually just streamed via TuneCast as you mentioned. Another reason that MCU2 is an option now

So was advised this morning for Tesla App coverage but still not working. Don't really understand what can be causing the delay.

 

[BCTS]

Tesla really are unique/naïve in the Auto Market.
So it appears that transfer of the Vehicle to me is delayed because Pickles haven't settled with Tesla as yet.
Even though I have clearly paid Pickles, and my Invoice shows $0 Balance.

It'd be like Telstra selling you a refurbished iPhone 12, but Apple refusing to allow you use your Apple ID until Telstra have paid them for the Handset.

Honestly it's actually pretty shocking.

This seems like you have a beef with Pickles to me. They're the ones who you have a commercial relationship with.

Complete opposite.
Pickles released the car to me, have followed standard process of buying a car from an auction. It's Tesla who is dragging their feet waiting for Pickles to pay them before they do anything.
Anyhow I've confirmed with Pickles that the payment has been made to Tesla today (Standard 7 Days after Auction like you'd expect) and hopefully things will go forward tomorrow.

Yeah, most time you need to deal with Tesla, it's painful, mainly because you cant talk to a person. Eventually you'll get app access and forget about it, it'll be a wonderful experience, things will work as they should... until something goes wrong, then you find out that its a known issue (front drive shaft vibration, rear boot latch, MCU reboots, door handles... etc) and you can either find an appointment several weeks away (at least), your car may be drivable... maybe not, drive hour(s) to the nearest service centre, maybe get your car back that day, maybe not, either way, pay shiploads if out of warranty or DIY. Having said that, there's a load of info on the forums, and there are great people here who take the time and effort to help out. Personal experience only, your mileage may vary.

 

[BCTS]

Well I've already resolved the Battery issue at the moment... and I enjoy a Vehicle challenge so we will see how we go

 

[pts260]

Maybe you can brush up by watching a few Rich Rebuilds / electrified garage videos. Also, I feel that if you are shown an amount for supercharging, then it's not "free unlimited". Mine (FUSC) has never shown an amount, and doesn't have any stored supercharging history on the bottom right of the "charging" tab...

This car is regularly firing up the fans every hour or so outside... I can't enable/disable any Cabin Overheat Protection I assume because I'm not associated with the car yet.
Is the Fans running for around 4-5 minutes in warm temperatures consistent with this feature if enabled in other owners console etc?

I’m not sure as I always turn climate on when leaving the car in the heat. Not a lot beats returning to an icy cold car on a hot day.
For memory that era of car has some serious fan noise when the aircon is working hard though.
