    This might be due to thumb placement, perhaps you are resting thumbs over the haptic buttons so when you attempt to "press" it doesn't register and it feels already on there. Test with thumbs away from indicators and only put them there to indicate and lift away see if happens?

    Alrighty, update time! So all went well, arrived car was parked outside, not on charge boo albeit still had 79% remaining. But they did pump my tyres all 4 to 44psi which was nice of them. 1. Flickering sound gone, must've been debris, they checked suspension and chassis no damage or issues...

    on the screen swiping front, I was starting to get annoyed at times like reversing out of shopping center carparks or doing 3point turns etc.. but since the new update, they have improved its responsivness, made the swipe area smaller for focused, so less prone to mis-swipes or non-registers...

    no don't think so, all I can set is one figure for home charging, and seasons, but no idea how I would even configure seasons Basically want it to calculate and say 8c/kwhr 12-6am daily, and 0c/kwhr 11am-2pm daily don't think the app can do this

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    They need to add in a free period, I've done 2500KMS and it says I've used $35 (8c/kw cost) but 50% of that is done charging during the free period so 0c/kw. So its more like I've only spent $17 in "fuel" these last3 months, which is insane I've also pocketed a few grand, because me being an...
