I presently do 45,000km a year and initially, the running costs of an EV was the selling point. Back then, I didn’t fully understand auto steer vs FSD (like most newbies.) I purchased anyway looking at saving $14k a year on fuel alone before crippling Mercedes ‘service’ costs and $2k on tyres annually.
The day after I took delivery, auto steer activated and a trip down to Sorrento cemented how good auto steer actually is. Far less likely to get fatigued on my commute home, or run up the backside of someone in peak hour. I fell for EAP on our current Y, I love the auto lane change but otherwise, there’s still a ways to go on NOA down my way at least.
Having also recently had my paint exchanged with another vehicle, I can personally attest to how safe these cars really are and how much is built in compared to the good old days. (If there’s any doubt in this forum

)The Hume Hwy between Goulburn and Berrima is particularly bad because it seems to be categorised in some maps as a controlled-access motorway, but it's not - it has all those uncontrolled at-grade intersections that NoA does not like.

I think it's deliberately misleading.
Obviously, speed is the biggest factor in deaths/injuries in accidents when they happen. Whether speed CAUSES more accidents in the list of causes is entirely different but I think the authorities like to make it a primary cause, which it isn't.
Im of the opinion that the cause of most accidents are multifactorial. Speed, fatigue, distraction, road conditions, impairment are often the most common
And so it would not make sense to give less weight to one factor over another. There are multiple laws/regulations/driving advice covering all of the above factors so I don't believe that the authorities are focusing on or targeting just one factor.

Well it’s even worse on the VIC side, where VicRoads, in defiance of all road definitions, calls the Hume Highway the Hume Freeway, when it is manifestly not.
At least on the NSW side, the “End Freeway” sign is correctly displayed just south of Berrima, where at-grade crossovers start to appear, even though the dual carriageway continues..
At-grade crossovers on dual carriageways are possibly rare beasts in the USA and so not a case that is coded for.

That is true. However the VIC side, there are only a few of those crossroads. On the NSW side they come up so often that NOA is constantly pinging NOA "on", NOA "off" every couple of kilometres in some parts. I had to turn NOA off just to stop the pings. (Not the Berrima area, more the long bit between Yass and Holbrook).
My app has been showing a ghost image, when not connected to the car, for some weeks now. I don't think it has been taking any longer to wake the car than it did before. I assume it is intended as a visual cue that the app is not connected.
My car has just downloaded 2023.44.30.7 this morning. I'll report if I notice any changes.

The ghost image is the rubbish untested recent update to the app. It stays as the ghost image until it all loads. The bigger issue is powerwall, it magnifies around 1000% on opening and takes a good minute To slowly shrink itself to the correct size

Same since the last update powerwall/house graphic takes more more than a minute to slowly shrink on my Samsung S21 & just under a minute on my Ipad. And you have to keep the screen open, if you go to a subscreen or other and come back it is still magnified to where you left it.

That Powerwall zoom out left me stunned - not in a good way. WTF were they thinking when testing it even on semi newer smartphones/ tablets. Another beyond belief. Don't mind the dark ghosted car graphic till connection is establish.
they clearly did not test the powerwall part of the app, but at least the metering that they broke two updates ago is now working properly again.
Hi all, Just took delivery of a Model 3 Highland last Thursday, and it hasn't yet downloaded the Holiday update. Is there any hard and fast rules around when an update will become available for newly purchased cars? I know new cars are shipped with older software "for stability purposes". Just wondering if there is a general time list, or kms travelled etc before an update can be installed. Cheers!
Not really. It seems like most people get it in about the first week, but others sometimes report longer. Do make sure that you are successfully connected to WiFi, though.
Thanks for the prompt. I hadn't connected to Wifi. I have now. Lets see how it goes. Thanks Jon!
