I mean it does nothing when you press the buttons on the Fob. Only works when you tap it on the pillar and behind the cup holders like the key cards. I am aware there is not meant to be passive entry with the fob.
I am assuming that the buttons maybe don’t work due to RF spectrum regulations in Australia being different to the US?

Do they have deals with any insurer? I used to be in Vic WRX club awhile back, got quite good insurance discount

The DS told us that if both our phones are Bluetooth paired to our car, the passenger (non-driver) needs to disable BT otherwise the car may use the wrong profile. We've been doing that and it has worked for us.
Hrm. I think it'd be easier to manually select the profiles than to disable and reenable bluetooth all the time.
Yesterday it happened to me again, and my wife's phone wasn't even in range when the profile switch happened. I was sitting in the car when my wife drove off in her car, 2 minutes later I put my foot on the brake and boom, wrong profile selected. It must pick a profile when the car gets unlocked.
Just found this cool little option in the Mac App Store. Works great for anyone with a Tesla using a Mac

The Model 3 AC charger is only 11kW, so you are seeing exactly the correct amount of power from your wall charger. If you plugged in a car with a 22kW AC charger then you would see a 32A charge rate, so all is well.

Why would you need that the phone app does it all?
btw you will have to either get an api token or hand over your credentials to an unknown 3rd party..

Often my phone is in my pocket while I am working on my laptop, just glancing at my menu bar is easier than getting my phone out of my pocket, unlocking it, opening the Tesla app and waiting or it to start up and refresh. Its very convenient, especially as I can send directions straight to the car from a simple copy/paste from my laptop.
You are not downloading a random program from the inter webs, they are an apple approved developer that makes a bunch of other different apps. Tinfoil hat much?

In fairness, anyone willing to send Apple $99/year can be an "Apple approved developer". It's not like they're actually vetting anybody; they just like to milk every possible dollar out of their walled-garden. Nor do they much care if app vendors are mining and selling user data, so long as they're not blatantly overt about it.
Maybe the handful of Australian Greens senators and single MP, most of the rest don't care about green credentials because the climate catastrophe is a hoax perpetuated by Thunberg and George Soros apparently
There's also at least one project in github which you can basically access or control anything available through the API via a web interface on a local Linux server

Theres a couple of sites that detail the API quite well, if you know what you are doing you can drive it using pretty much anything - postman or something.
I'm toying with writing my own app if i come up with a reasonable use case (its part of what I do day to day anyhow).

To each his/her own
. Our TM3 is my wife's first BT device, so she doesn't miss anything when she disables her BT for the weekend (when I drive mostly). She enables BT on Monday as I drive our ICE daily to the train station .
