I could suggest loosing the KIA but then SHE would drive the Tesla, see how good it is and then you would loose the Tesla.

Tesla Model 3 in Australia

Multiple Spotify Log in threads on the Aus forum and many others. Sometimes it just goes away, 3 months in my case, other times you need to call Tesla to have something on the backend reset. Has been going on since 2015 but seems to affect individual cars or accounts only so a proper fix seems illusive. Good Luck.
Is it often like that? I was planning to use that charger on a trip to Melbourne, it would be really annoying to get held up waiting for one of those people to return to their car.
Oh, I knew about pools but had no idea it was the same for EVs. Thanks, that's super helpful!
Given I scared her witless on the test drive, not to mention she's a bit of a technophobe, I think I'm safe from losing it
Its at the back of a Woollies store car park and parkng is a premium. I watched for a while. Some people pulled in then pulled out when the guilts kicked in. Some people simply don't care and parked did their shopping and left.
It looks like they are currently extending the car park so that might help when those works are completed.
BTW, I had a tail wind most if the day from Narooma (left with 86% SOC) , it was hot all day 34-36C and I think I would have arrived in lakes with only 5% (even though Tesla's initial nav estimate was arrival in Lakes Entrance with 18%) Its very hilly and windy road so I stopped in at the NRMA 50kw at Bega for 25 mins and topped up from 70 to 95%.
I arrived at Lakes entrance with 30% SOC
I'm glad I topped up at Bega else it would have been too close for comfort
Haha... similar thing happened to us with our LEAF when someone absolutely smashed it in a carpark. AAMI took it to one of their repairers only to find Nissan wouldn’t supply them the replacement parts because they were not an “Approved” LEAF repairer. So they had to flat-bed it to a repairer that was. So we don’t pay the “choose your own repairer” premium, but still only get approved repairers on the job
When we picked up the LEAF from the repairer, the guy there at the time had never seen an electric car before. He asked us to turn it on, and we said “it already is”. He put his hand on the bonnet and said “there’s no vibration”. We said “it only has an electric motor in it”. He said “where do you put the petrol”? We said “it’s an electric car - you can’t put petrol in it”. We drove away, silently, the look of absolute confusion on his face was priceless.
Consider yourself lucky, because Tesla forums are littered with tales of the “significant other” tentatively taking a drive - and then taking possessionGiven I scared her witless on the test drive, not to mention she's a bit of a technophobe, I think I'm safe from losing it
So my 1308 days of waiting are over. Took delivery of my SR+ yesterday!
Delivery from Richmond was all good, very quiet. Mine was the only car around and apparently only one other for the day.
Called in at Airport West for a quick top up at the chargefox charger.
I managed to fit 3 car seats in the back, 2 forward facing and 1 rear. Kids are all under 5 but the 2 older ones love it. They've been just as excited as me about getting the car. Glass roof is a winner.
My commute is about 90km round trip and I've never been so excited about driving to the office, might go the long way.
A shout out to the Bendigo Bank who got the finance settled within 48hrs of receiving an invoice. And 3.80% rate was nice too.
Hope all others waiting get their model 3 soon, it's awesome.

A big shout out to the Richmond Service Centre. While trying to identify the source of wind noise on the passenger side, I noticed that the black triangle trim of the left hand side mirror was misaligned with the pointy top vertex sticking out. I booked a service appointment last week to get it fixed and mentioned my reason for spotting it.
The wind noise prevailed after the trim was aligned, and I mentioned it in the post service online survey. Before I got round to making another service appointment, the SC texted me saying they read my feedback and asked if I would like to make a service appointment to fix the wind noise
Now that's what I call Great Customer Service
I noticed some wind noise on the passenger side window after picking up the car yesterday. Keen to hear your outcome.
Sometimes when you open a door, the window doesn't come back all the way up after closing. Make sure the windows are all the way up.

I took the technician for a drive on Monash Fwy. At speeds >80kmh, he could hear the wind noise. After poking and prodding and removing bits of the A pillar trim and door seal (car had stopped at road side then), he concluded that the likely cause are gaps in the front windscreen sealant. He'll run more tests with an air blower back at the Service Centre---the likely remedy is my car will get a new front windscreen with proper sealing as they can't remove it without breaking the glass. I may need to make another appointment if they can't a windscreen in today.

This has only happened once to me. It was the left rear window which didn't rolled all the way up when closed. I used the app to close the window.
For anyone that is sitting on the fence about purchasing full self driving and wants to see it in action, I purchased FSD as part of my service appointment which replaced a damaged wheel and interior panel.
I did a video on probably the best part of FSD available in Australia, auto lane change. If anyone is interested, take a look at it here -

Yes Energex, now Energy Queensland is very supportive of connecting loads to the off-peak circuits or using demand response devices.
Thanks for the suggestion, I did check and it was all the way up. Even tried open/close, same thing.
It was certainly more noticeable yesterday when driving into a strong head wind @110km/h. More testing required
I too have some wind noise front passenger , so I 'll be keen to hear the outcome.
Brassica rich diet? Hearing the outcome isn't usually the worst part.
Well can all new Tesla / Model 3 Owners please be more courteous than CLOWN (black 3SR) who pretty much occupied a supercharger station @ Richmond on Friday 1st Nov 9pm.. without charging ... selfish muppet .. other tesla owners need to charge and we would appreciate it if u dont treat the supercharger stations as your personal carpark!! next time i wont blank out ur number plate!!
