What you’re missing is it’s done 102,000ks mate.

For x1.

That's true. My concern is that the car's Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty expired on the 2nd of December, 2023. The Drive Unit and Battery Limited Warranties are still valid, but I would expect the TPMS's wouldn't be covered under the current Warranty. Unless anyone else has had a similar...

In early April this year, about a week after my tyres were replaced, the front-right TMPS sensor went on the blink. Then a few weeks later the rear-right TMPS also went dark, followed by the rear-left last week. I now have 1 TPMS left that works. My car is 2 years and 7 months old and based on...

...posterior. 👍🏻

Yup. Had EXACTLY this happen to me. My wife is like: "That's a one-way street!" and I'm like, okay...thanks for nothing Tesla navigator. Sometimes you have to go with your own memory and remember that the street signs are what the police will fine you for not following, not the navigator. And...

Couldn't agree more. I've sometimes wondered when I was working on a machine safety system, if I said "yeah it's fine mate it's in Beta but you can still use it..." when someone is crushed because of a bug in the system, how would I feel about that? Pretty sure I'd go to jail, lose my...

Nah mate. We have AI Overviews for that stuff now...

I also charged there on Sunday last week and there was another M3 there sitting idle. It was there when I showed up and there when I left. It's a weird spot though. Great view, but it's a long walk down/up a very steep hill to get a drink or use the bathroom!

Speak for yourself mate. As for writing standards well, it's a mindset. "What behaviour am I encouraging and how can it be circumvented?" It's a way of thinking that many people struggle with, irrespective of whether they're engineers or not IMHO.

Also, 2024.8.7 restored Bluetooth connectivity with my iPod Touch! It's been broken since November last year or so. #SmallWins

I can host a server locally...and don't call me Shirley.

Well I'll admit that 10 years ago that was me. I grew up watching Fords, Holdens and the cheap Hyundai and Kia's have countless mechanical issues, electrical problems, and were just unreliable vehicles. Looking back I was being a bit harsh, but similar to Max Spaghetti above, the pitch from...

Finally got to a desktop to respond. Yes. I was agreeing with you. (Contextually confusing perhaps but quoting these posts I find hit and miss). My final electrical engineering joke for the thread though, Corona Discharge is the most fun kind of discharge ❤️ #NotThatFunny

If you've never designed or quoted an 11kV feeder run, above or underground then how would you know just how expensive that is? Every job is unique, certainly, but I've done jobs where we moved the planned locations of buildings to save millions from shorter power feeds. ACSR and Copper aren't...

Just because you’ve got 275kV interconnectors beside arterial roads doesn’t mean it’s easy or cheap to jack into them unfortunately. Stepping it down via sub-stations to usable voltages is more common in commercial and industrial estates. So where those two overlap with major roads you’ve got a...

I don't think it was covered under any of your points, hence why I felt compelled to make mine. But it's all good really. Let's not quibble...it's the weekend and life's too short.

The houses that have done this successfully (think eco-houses in the early 00s) are designed specifically to be facing the optimal direction relative to the sun for their latitude, as much natural ventilation as possible (no Air-conditioning) and minimal electrical appliances. I think if you...

Thanks guys!

Is there a specific Plug Kit you’d recommend? Also I’m assuming you plugged them yourself?

That's a really good point. My concern in future is that unless these different transit systems can have a logically aligned user-pays funding structure then there will be no system that is truly balanced and fair. Each of these areas are also managed by different government departments and some...

I drove a Leaf once via the company I worked for at the time and it was a lovely car. I enjoyed how quiet it was (with the PWS turned off), how it handled and the fun musical score it plays when you turn it on. My only issue was its range so once the Model 3 was released here in Australia, I got...

I realise most people on the forum aren't Electricians or Electrical Engineers. In future I probably shouldn't weigh in on this stuff like this if I'm going to get responses like the ones above. Appreciate your response that's based on fact.

I think stipulating 15A mandatory outlets in a garage or even Type 2 connectors is an obvious next step, for NEW BUILDS. The way in which legislation like this is usually handled is it only applies to new builds, not enforcing retrofits. As time passes eventually people will retrofit them...

I checked 15mins after I got the Email and they were gone last night. #Shrug

Fair comment. I did watch it a little while ago and I was focussed on the Advertisement, which I don't think qualified as a lie. Misleading? Maybe. That's marketing though. To your point (and StopCrazyPPs) the fact that Elon mis-spoke / spoke-sh!t during the event is undeniable, that's true...

Yes I watched that video before you posted it. Yes Tesla took the finish line snapshot when the CyberTruck was ahead of the Porsche at the 1/8th mile marker, since EVs will out-accelerate practically anything gas-powered. If you let the race continue the Porsche will eventually win as it has a...

Yes and when I lived in Calgary, this weird thing called snow kept falling and icing the roads and cars kept skidding into each other all the damn time! (No wonder it's so expensive?) Ahh, I miss the Rockies though...

I'm not disputing the infrastructure can be considered to be archaic, however in fairness it was fit for purpose when it was designed, from baseload to end user points of supply. With the tables turned and not enough controls to disconnect or store the power pushed back into the grid from all...

Trying to find the right thread to post it and I whilst I researched with what time I had (not too much) it may attract some critique (hopefully not) but as a Queenslander, I've been watching this closely and pulled this post together. I discuss the rapid addition of DC Fast Charging...

It's because you drive also drive a Leaf. They're wondering if that cool power-up chime/song thingy the Leaf does should be added to all Teslas in the next Christmas update... 🤣

Yes. Really stupid men.

There are speed limits, but no acceleration limits. 👍🏻

No. The simplest solution is to buy a different brand EV. Much cheaper too.

It’s not fat…it’s “Big Chassis’ed”

After using the Enhanced Autopilot features for a few weeks now, I've put together my review of each feature spread across two videos. Tesla Enhanced AutoPilot Part One Tesla Enhanced AutoPilot Part Two I recognise I'm not the first to review these features, and that's okay. I also recognise...

Truth - I love the new fonts. Also great to have the music controls closer to the driver. Apple Music works perfectly! Can finally disable Spotify :)

Were you nuts? #BadPun

Amazed you lasted this long…

Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One

Have to agree with the Model 3 being low. It's hard for my mother (77 years old) and my wife also complains. That said it's the exception rather than the rule and more the majority of my personal use case, the 3 is fine but a more comfortable height the Y is the better choice for most I think...

There are a myriad of reasons why people don't buy an Electric Vehicle. The more people (even in this thread) try to categorise "those people" the more like them we are in our offensive defence. The truth is there is a car out there for everybody's needs more or less. With time, more EVs will...

The doubters in the world will always say it's not possible to install charging infrastructure, when in fact it's not technically difficult and quite feasible. The real issue is the pre-planning and keeping ahead of the EV surge. The sad part here is that it's up to a handful of companies and...

Alas I have long since checked many threads and as you suggest, the settings above are set correctly.

I keep wanting to buy the KeyFob to see if it’s better than the damn phone. My iPhone 12 won’t unlock the MIC M3SR+ Unless the screen is awake. I honestly find my old KeyFob from my Honda was simpler and more reliable. One day when I’ve got $235 to spare…we’ll see.

Sorry no. I only had my iPhone camera and digital zoom, so no dice.

Taken this afternoon about an hour ago. Saw them unloading the unit off a truck when I was driving into work this morning. Now it's bolted down and lacking bollards but looks nice! ABB unit, one CCS2, one CHADEMO as expected.

Yes. My M3 won’t blow cold air above my chin, and in summer it was annoying as hell. Now I know there’s a problem I’ll keep an eye on this for any updates.

Stopped by yesterday on the way home and not much progress over last time. Conduits protruding on the far right. No sign of charger hardware yet.

Stopped on the way home today but didn't think taking a photo of the four guys pouring concrete was a good look. The hole that was there yesterday in the Southern-most spot has been filled, additional concrete has been cut and filled and conduits installed for cabling. Couldn't see any storage...
