Ditto… although sometimes it shows a left indicator when the car is actually indicating right! 🤪

I agree. For any new/unknown socket with a UMC 10 amp tail I always start there (even without extension cable). Safest way to be sure it’s all good. After confirming for a good charge I’lll then ramp it up to 10.

That is a must! Should never use an extension lead coiled anyway, let alone with a constant high draw. The EM will create heat and cause other problems

Like I found at a place I was staying… the socket had corroded and was arcing to the pins of my UMC inside the socket! Turns out the socket hadn’t been used in about 10 years and the house was by the sea… so plenty of salt corrosion. Found another socket that was more regularly used and after...

I noticed a couple of mentions of others on 14.3 that regen braking had improved (ie become slightly more aggressive, in a smooth way). Initially I didn’t see any change, but in the last few days I would say regen has been worse (not aggressive enough) on many occasions. Approaching same...

While I would love to debate a “universal humanist principle”, and its place in the values of all people on earth… as others have shared we are way off topic now… and I respect the right for each of us to have our own views on that matter. I would love to see Tesla still progressing the...

There is only what YOU BELIEVE is right and wrong - each person can have very different view. Don’t think anyone said it should be - but unless you were an actual employee impacted how do you know if your statement is true? Many others companies treat their staff poorly - just not so openly...

So we can destroy another one?

Yes I can! but as an employee in those circumstances I am unable to provide details (because I actually respect the confidentiality clauses in my employment contracts). Just take a look in the IT press over the last few years

So clearly Microsoft, IBM, SAP, Cisco... and many, many others are not competent businesses? That is exactly the model they have deployed many, many times with layoffs. Sure, they don't have an egotistical CEO that blasts it out on social media first... but the underlying process (and results)...

The fact that Tesla Australia had no idea and no information on what happened either! Having worked for US tech companies for decades, that’s how it rolls. If everyone knew what was happening beforehand it would be leaked and that would cause worse labour and financial problems. I don’t like...

I never had an alert on that before, but the other night on this new update got my first one saying left was unavailable. Same stretch of road as normal with same street lights. Will keep an eye on it to see if one off or a pattern.

I’d stick with the UMC on 10 Amp circuit. That’s what I do and has worked for me for a good 6 months now with slightly lower kms. I am considering an upgrade, primarily to get a unit that will charge using excess solar only like a Zappi (as I’ve got 10kW solar and work from home often). Then I...

Not just Sydney… Canberra and many other locations too! Generally I find Australian drivers are getting less and less considerate of each other. Sad really.

Wow! I couldn’t cope with that. I’m at the minimum of 2, and in non-freeway conditions would like this to be 1!
