Oh lovely! :mad: I’m in the middle of a Strata project to install charging for a basement car park of a large apartment building with 155 parking spaces. Will make the next meeting interesting.

I think 250Kw relates to the capacity of the charger, not sure what the max charge rate for Model 3 (LFP) but others may know. Initial state of charge, the temperature of the battery, ambient temperature, capacity of the site and number of other cars charging at the site can all make a...

If you must have an extension lead, search for welding machine extension cords like below. But all that others have said above still applies. https://unimig.com.au/product/15a-heavy-duty-extension-lead/

I think I have to agree that everything that could be said about the Supercharger team sackings has been said. So I will be reserving the right to delete any more comments on that subject going forward. I’m not going to create a new thread specifically for that topic here as it’s not an...

Also on my 2014 Model S.

Not something the Forum software supports. The only way is to create a new separate thread which can be stuck.

The battery location on earlier Model S is different to the later models shown in the video. It’s somewhat harder to remove and replace as it’s is buried further back adjacent to the firewall. I had my 12V battery replaced by Tesla and it was no more expensive than any other mechanic, plus they...

Moderators note: Hopefully the OPs original Victoria specific question has been answered. Let me know if not. Removed references to Victoria from title to allow broader discussion.

You’re welcome. ☺️

Unpopular opinion: I think the last industry we should be relying on to build out public DC charging is the Fossil Fuel Industry. I’m not even all that comfortable with Evie which is partially owned by a coal Barron Trevor St Baker. They will make sure it’s never ‘too’ successful to threaten...

I keep my cars for an average of about 12 years so intend to keep it for a while longer. If I have to replace the battery I will just add another couple of years beyond to make up for the cost of the replacement. I’m at 250,000Km (circa 150,000 miles) but the car is holding up very well both...

If the deal is good, I would definitely switch. At least you won’t need to ask for a special EV charging rate.

I have charged my original NMC battery from about 40% to 90% with infrequent top ups to 100%, perhaps every 3 to 4 months depending upon need. It’s only been below about 30% a few dozen times, so after 8.5 years I’m getting about 12% degradation. From my experience you can over think the top end...

I was involved in the transfer of the Motor Vehicle Database from BONUS to Huon for Car insurance and CTP. But that’s not what got me removed. But that’s off topic so I’ll stop here. When NRMA got into the DC charging (Supercharging) business I gave them some advice that they completely ignored...

This refers to the ability of the page to search for up to 15 vehicles with each having a 17 digit VIN, all at the same time.

The first picture seems to show some substance on the lens that could be water spotting. Try soaking a small section of a soft cloth with vinegar and apply to the lens to see if the substance is removed.

I worked at NRMA during the whole demutualisation process. Everyone had to reapply for their job and in my case I was unsuccessful and was the reason I left. P.S. If anyone received an NRMA car insurance renewal with a zero agreed value, I know exactly why and it was despite my attempts to...

Yurong Street Sydney EVX chargers are clearly marked on poles and roadway. Fewer Nervous Nellies in the area?

Moderators Note. I’m aware that the demographic for this website is male dominated but I try to keep it family friendly and inclusive. I have deleted a couple of posts recently that don’t meet that target. No one is in trouble, just keep that in mind. If you disagree with my moderation you’re...

Features like the ability to edit your posts on TMC is restricted until your post count grows to a sufficient level.

The Model S in development was referred to as Whitestar. The 2019 update was called Raven The Model 3 in development was referred to as bluestar. As Model X and Model Y were derived from Model S and Model 3 respectively they didn’t get development names to my knowledge. So there is precedent...

Still have mine in the garage, - somewhere? 🤔

In the early days of Tesla, when Model S and X were the only models available, updates were downloaded via 3G/4G however Tesla stopped this as it was blowing out the cost of providing Premium Connectivity which many Model S/X got free for the life of the car. Now you must be connected to a...

Moderators note. Changed title to give details of the questions asked. This allows a solution to be searched for by someone who may have the same problem or question.

I doubt it; the few times I have been to a drive through in my Model S even that feels tight.

It’s bloody enormous! Not sure how the exposed front edge of the front guards will get through ADRs. It’s locked so you can only view it from the outside and get your picture taken by Sentry if you press on one of the access buttons on the B and C pillars. ☺️ Can’t say I’m a fan, but they tell...

I personally wouldn’t bother. From time to time I hose out my charging port. Not whilst charging though! ⚡️😳⚡️

Apparently they were pushed by the Fire and Emergency services. They wanted to know if a wreck they are turning up to had a High Voltage battery so that they know to take precautions. As a result even Camry Hybrids get them.

Or this form Plugear. https://www.plugear.com/product/all-tesla-models_ccs-charing-port-waterproof-cover/

GB/T charging standard that seems to be only deployed in China.

Looks great! Just a question, how long have QLD had blue EV tags? I thought they were a NSW thing only, but am not surprised that other states are implementing them.

my 9.5 years old Model S has just had its MCU upgraded to V2. So the support is there to some extent. I never expected that new features like FSD or Sentry would be rolled out to all cars regardless of age. The only complaint I have is that 4G coverage is no where near as good as the 3G...

Generally if a battery goes below 20% for a long period of time you can expect some acceleration of degradation. If it goes below about 10%, I would call the repairer and ask them to put it on charge overnight.

I replied to the event but there was no facility to book a specific time. I received a “Thank you for your RSVP” email but again no way to book a specific time. So I will just rock up tomorrow and hope they let me in.

I had my MCU upgraded recently to an MCU2 and they transferred my settings. However TuneIn would not load properly and I couldn’t log in or out. A factory reset also cured my problem.

The standard RWD is P Plate legal. It will come down to the cost of insurance and your willingness to pay a high premium for the first few years. For what it is, it’s good value, now the prices have dropped and other running costs are low. If you intend to keep it for a long time I think it...

Vision, radar, whatever. If a sensor fails, so does the technology. 🤷🏽

I wish my NSU Ro80 had a sunroof to let the heat out on a sunny day. (No AC)

Chatswood Prestige on the corner of Gibbes street and Victoria Ave East Chatswood. It’s not far from the Chatswood Tesla Service Centre and is an approved Tesla repair centre. I had a door ding and had to had a door hinge replaced on a different door. The paint finish is so good that I can’t...

If it worries you that much, paint it with a rust converter or Penetrol.

All three together at Bondi Beach. Probably doing promotional photos and videos.

No, New Zealand spec Model 3 and Y both have CCS2 port as standard.

It’s Type 2 but can support DC charging without the two additional large ports at the bottom. You then need an adapter for CCS2 plus early models like mine needed some wiring changes. However the technique is to attach the adapter to the charging cable first then insert that into the type 2...

It can happen at any time and completely at random. My 9 year old Model S has the original windscreen but 3 years ago I took my classic car for a drive and a hard driving Mitsubishi Magna didn’t slow for roadwork and flung a rock into the screen. Thought I had got away with it until I got home...

I tried that initially after the MCU2 upgrade. I had to manually connect to my phone Hot Spot each time i leave home. Then it stays connected when I get home unless you manually disconnect it. If you don’t my phone goes flat.

Please keep on topic everyone, however I won’t be creating a new thread for 5 off topic posts since page 100.
