No SOS (eCall) in Australia

[Riasta]

I was surprised to see that Teslas don't have SOS emergency call in Australia.
This is a great safety feature and across many OEMs even much less "premium" cars.
This will also form part of ANCAP from 2025, so I would hope Tesla enable it in AU as per EU already has.
Does anyone have any info on why Tesla decided to disable this for AU or plans to introduce?

could this just be done in software when it is required to be introduced?

Yeah, has never been available for Tesla in Australia as far as I'm aware, but I'm sure it'll come. It was released in the US some time ago, unsure if it is active in Europe yet either.

You can set your iPhone to do this can't you, irrespective of the car?

Only on iPhone 14 and later Use Crash Detection on iPhone or Apple Watch to call for help in an accident – Apple Support (AU)

it's also available on some Android phones, eg Google Pixel (Get help in an emergency using your Pixel phone - Pixel Phone Help)

Believe in Europe the cars also have a manual SOS button next to the Hazard Light button.
