Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[Anubis]

This is irrelevant. The antenna for the WiFi and cellular are in the outside mirror under the cap.

The Bluetooth is also outside.

Drivers or passenger mirror?

Wouldn't your own phone use its own cellular antenna and therefore be effected by screening?

Drivers mirror in the US which is a bastard if you get sideswiped.

The other thing is that this clause is intended to target those for whom their Tesla is their primary business and not incidental to it - namely, Uber drivers, car rental/hire companies, etc. where income is directly earned as a result of the vehicle being used. If the usage is incidental, i.e. your primary business is making widgets and you are using your business-registered car to visit clients A, B and C then I doubt Tesla would say you can’t use a Supercharger.

The issue Tesla is mainly concerned about is not the cost of the electricity but Superchargers being occupied / blocked up by people directly making money out of their cars. That’s not the purpose for which the Supercharger network was built nor dimensioned. If you are buying Teslas to directly make money out of them, you should install your own dedicated charging facility and use that.

im pretty sure that if we never had those tesla taxis popping up in the USA and people who used superchargers near their homes (remember when tesla used to send you a text message to tell you to stop supercharging next to your home all the time?) then the network would still be free to use.

My car has also started to download 32.12.4 (SR+, FSD).

After the installation of 32.12.4 (SR+, FSD), my car has also started to have this strange click noise when using AP and car stops.
This has posted in other forums for the newer version of software as well.
Anybody else noticed?

No, one new car at least in NSW appears to have received 36.2.1 today (P3, I'm guessing FSD given they got v10 within 2 days of connection to Teslafi)

Not trying to nag but I don't think any Australian cars "received" the 36.2.1 update today.
Most likely, This car received the update days ago when the other 3 Australian's on TeslaFi got theirs and the guy only just installed it today.

just wondering if there was a way to get on that list that get those really early firmware updates?

Push the Advanced button 5 times....

Tried that earlier this evening ... did not work for me

 

[aroth]

Don't press 5 times. Tap and hold. Worked for me.

Edit: though to clarify, it worked for going from 2019.32.12.2 to 2019.32.12.4. Neither holding nor tapping works for advancing beyond that.

2019.32.12.4 is all anyone in AU/NZ is getting currently.

Not strictly. Myself, and a guy I know both have SR+s with 2019.36.2.1. Teslafi, last I checked, showed a P with it in NSW, too.

The number of AU/NZ cars that got 36.2.1 appears to be very small, overall.

Which features does it include for Australia? Have you been able to test fast charging speeds?

Anything specific you have done or are you in any way affiliated with Tesla to be a part of that special early test group for the area?

Just got off the phone with Tesla asking about this because I have a “software” update available but stuck message. Turns out this might be an error update for our region and my car has been taken off the list as they can’t see it anymore.

Asked if this means if an update is in error / is fully applied what happens. Engineering can forcibly downgrade/upgrade or change firmware if the issue is important enough, it updates at night while plugged in. Even if you don’t accept the update. I would expect that if this is indeed an error they would do this. Sad

Nothing.

I have just downloaded 36.2.2. Going to install it when I get to work.

I guess I just got lucky and was chosen for limited release? My car's just a SR+ with FSD.

Also looks like you were the very first person on TeslaFi to get that software. Deffo time to buy some lottery tickets

Is the M3 tied to a particular provider for its inbuilt cellular connection and premium connectivity (Telstra, Optus, or Voda), or does it use them all?
