It's probably about 6 metres. I wasn't aware that connected via Bluetooth =/= unlocked - I have been assuming that the distance I go from the vehicle before hearing the locking noise (double beep of the horn) is the effective unlock distance. That is certainly at least 6 metres away in most...

So - question please for anyone that has a key fob. I am keen on establishing a more traditional lock/unlock experience, as my phone is often in close proximity to the vehicle, and I am constantly turning Bluetooth on and off again to maintain vehicle security. So what I want is the following...

If I recall correctly, you would also get a notification to this effect on the app on your phone - you could check your notification settings and ensure that you've allowed notifications from the Tesla app

The one who arrived with the most charge. There would be so much debate on how to charge that no-one would actually get any charging completed.

And, in other news this morning, some of the team are to be re-hired: Tesla walks back Supercharger team layoffs, rehires executive

I'm handing back my Mazda CX-5 rental today after 4.5 months of driving it (my Model Y has been in for hail damage). The wipers on that car, with your highly praised $4 rain sensor are worse than my Tesla ever was (bear in mind please, as per my signature, I picked up the Tesla in September...

So - no submissions were received... please excuse someone (me) who isn't aware of process here, but does that mean they're approved?

The size of cabling for any outlet will depend on cable length, and surrounding material (i.e. in air, in conduit, in an enclosed space etc). So your electrician will have quoted based on these factors, and calculated voltage drop etc. Without us knowing these factors, it's impossible to...

You touch on one fact that I have mulled over during the past couple of days. Most certainly, there will be different rules and regulations for each country/continent the SC team deal with, but that should be documented in a manual somewhere, along with relevant contact information and...

!?! Unless the figures here (Australia's most popular electric cars in 2023) are wrong, or I've made an addition error, they did sell > 50%?

Going to throw in a curly into this discussion. I just counted the number of announced new superchargers (not counting wall connector sites) on the @TeslaCharging feed on X for the period 01-04-2024 to 25-04-2024 worldwide. In that 25 day period, 46 new sites were opened, nearly 2 per day...

I have to ask - who is this "RocketMan" people are speaking of please?

Thanks for all the replies - I assume if the battery is disconnected, the car will go "offline"?

Hi folks, a quick question for those who may be able to advise please :) My MY RWD is in for hail damage repair, and as part of that process, the boot and doors are being left open for extended periods for paint-drying purposes. This doesn't allow the car to go to "sleep", rather, it's...

What you can do is to have a chat to your panel beater, find out what parts are required, and then log a job with Tesla service and request a quote/supply of those parts. They may not be willing, but you can only ask. I had a windscreen shipped up to Newcastle direct from Tesla earlier this...
