Still only one car in the showroom. They are still working on fit out and the computers now seem to be in. Place looks almost ready to open.

You definitely lose your lifetime free supercharging. I still love my car which I took delivery of at the launch event. The slow charging does get to me however, but the car is in near showroom Nick. I have the unplugged performance front fascia installed so the car looks like the facelift, and...

Consistency is good.

Well, here is my latest and it makes my car feel like new! A fairly simple upgrade to the throttle. It effectively expands on the chill/normal mode supplied by Tesla. Now i have 7 settings - 2 eco mode ones which make the car very sluggish far more than valet mode and you would use it for that...

Wouldn’t it be a whole lot easier and probably more cost effective just to get the unplugged performance after market fascia? That is exactly what i did and it looks fantastic. No new hood required.

I am completely NOT a software person. However, as a consumer, if something is sold to me with certain representation, then I expect to receive such product. We might be guinea pigs as early adopters, but why should we be funding the basic research? Testing a result if it is so represented at...

Yes. Especially the downgrade in charging speed at superchargers for early cars like mine. Done with a software “upgrade” but absolutely no warning and nothing in the “upgrade” notes about it either. It was far from an insignificant change! Totally sneaky. Even to the present with the latest...

Got my car at the Australian launch early December 2014. Battery powered chainsaw for the last 2 years corded electric chainsaw for 10 years before that. 17ah pedal assist Ebikes for past 2.5 years. Regrettably wife does not want a new car. Hers is Dino juice for the past 12 years.

Our 2014 cars were also supposed to be able, on private property to be able to come and collect us at our front door. The eyeQ 3 chip supposedly is also capable of detecting traffic lights. Frankly, given what it does actually detect, I see no reason why such a claim would be wrong. It can...

from the virus point of view there is zero difference now to when the crisis first erupted. The only practical difference is that it is not widespread. Oh, and authorities are somewhat more ready on the health front. That could change dramatically especially with the dicks at the unnecessary...

As of 31/5/20 the 2 pedestals are still not live.!! Obviously they are not in a hurry and as yet not enough people heading back to the shops. Car park was pretty empty at 11.30 this morning.

So, the mystery carton. Clearly supercharger stalls. Not yet installed as of Monday 18 may.

Masks in general protect (to a point) other people not the wearer. There may be a new exception to this with the advent of washable copper and or zinc impregnated fabrics out of Israel. They claim active virucidal effect for the fabrics but I have not seen any independent studies. I do know that...

That carton looks suspiciously charging stall sized! Would either 5 or ten of them fit on a pallet? That is 2 per carton? In which case they simply have not removed the shipping docket and the other 8 are going in elsewhere?

As I recall, Amnon Shashua said years ago that the IQ3 chip in our cars was capable of seeing stop signs and traffic signals. The function has simply not been activated after the “divorce”. They won’t pay the current owner of the tech the licence fee to allow upgrade. Here is a direct comparison...
