Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[EcoCloudIT]

For the Model 3 people with supercharger referral credits, so I rang this morning and was told from a global level they aren't being extended due to Covid. Admittedly it's $100 of value I lost which isn't that big of a deal, but it's annoying given the quite small size of the Supercharger network in Australia and that Melbourne is still under Stage 3 lock down and unlike the USA we actually actually staying at home.

For the life of my I cannot locate where my "kw's" expire....can you point me on the right direction and I'll check?

In your app under the loot box you can see when your KM's expire.

 

[jamesgo]

So they actually expire on the date listed btw, so if you want to use them it has to be by the day before.

@Crustyman - thanks....knew I saw it somewhere....

Not sure why your km's are expiring so quickly.....mine are not expirying until 29/4/2022.....I've use more than I thought though

Free Supercharging miles will apply to any vehicles on the same account and will expire 6 months after the miles are added.
Referral Program

Australia used to have a unofficial soft policy with no-expiry but evidently that's not the case anymore.

sure, but why are mine not expiring for nearly 2 years from now?

I guess you must have 4 referrals. That said i'm not sure the whole KM balance expires on the same date. I think each set of 1500km has it's own expiry.

Sure, still odd my expiry in 2 years (not 6mths).....I did all my referrals at the one time....previous to those referrals I did 5 (from memory) and got a bunch of stuff (22inch wheels for the X, credit, invite to live event etc.) but the thing I really wanted from the PW2 and the credit I have etc. doesn't have an expiry.

Each referral adds 6 months to the expiry date. 4 x 6 months = 2 years.

As above each referral adds 6 months and I think maximum of 2 years.

If anyone could tell me which model HWPC (2 or 3) version people are receiving with their new Model 3's lately, it would be appreciated?

I was reading the new V3 (glass front) doesn't have 3 phase input.... I have prepared my electrical circuit for a 3 phase connection.

I didn't think V3.0 was avsailable as yet....I heard that the new V3.0 units will talk to ones PW2....I'd really like this as I have 2x Tesla's and would love to just plug the cars in and default to "Charge cars with excess solar only" option.....

Not sure if this is just Melb cold weather or something else, but regardless of battery charge level , since 2020.24.6.4 for the initial start of driving I get the "Regenerative braking temporarily reduced".

It seems to go after a few km of driving. I'm guessing maybe until the battery has heated up?

Ha You're lucky, in Ballarat mine does that every time I go to drive it and can take 30 mins of driving to go away. So to answer your question, totally due to cold weather

Its always reduced regen when cold , now its just warning you as well.

Yes, thanks for the reply. Just picked the new baby and it came with the v2, thankfully.

You don't want v3?

 

[Kenz]

Australia needs to do more to ramp up support and demand for electric vehicles and EV chargers in general.
The coal loving fossil fuels industry puppets they elected continue to do damage to the climate and the planet.
Maybe a change in government would help with EV incentives and offer more support for clean energy production.
People needs to join in and speak up for a better future. How hot and dry does it need to get before people wake up and demand action ?
How bad do the fires need to get ?

 

[matsoutback]

No, I don't think so. For efficiency of my off grid system, 3 phase is much better as it shares the load over 3 inverters. As far as I know the new V3 doesn't support 3 phase.

You sound like an arsonist.

Just accept that the future of humanity won't be on Earth. We will start building O'Neill Cylinders (or similar structures) in space within a century. There are enough resources in the solar system to support a population of trillions. Not everyone will leave Earth. I know Bezos thinks you'll just zone the Earth as residential and light industrial, but really, those who stay here will continue to wreck the place until it's uninhabitable. But with a little effort, the species will survive and thrive elsewhere.
