Drove past the site today and it looks operational- no barriers and no apparent restrictions signage.

Just got another invoice from Tesla for the Y we have on order and the $3k discount offered for cancelled S orders has been applied. I ordered a new S just before the refresh was announced In 2020. Waited 2 and a half years and then the order was cancelled. Bugger. Not all bad as I got sick of...

I have just been out to the delivery centre in HUME (Canberra)( to drop off rego application papers for my Y- EDD May25-June15 OD, 11/1/23) and the place is absolutely chocka block with 3s and Ys. While I was there another truck arrived with 3 x 3s and 4 x Ys. The driver said they were...

I have fitted the hansshow unit to my M3 and while attaching the main plug to the OBD port was a serious PITA I couldn’t be happier with the unit itself. There are lots of YouTube vids on how to fit- even an Au one. My first Tesla was a Model S and I really missed the in front display.

I have a refreshed MS on order (ordered late in 2020 before the refresh was announced)and wonder when Tesla might start building RHD cars. Or have they already started? If so for which market?

My car connects to my home wi-fi in my garage without any problems but disconnects when I drive out. Then it is a big hit and miss for connecting on the drive into town and sometimes even has trouble streaming anything after I have been parked in town for a while. Eventually it gets a usable LTE...

Thanks for the heads up Meloccom- I have installed the Tunein app and blue toothed to the car. It will be interesting to see how much better my iPhone is compared to my MS. There are a few black spots for phone reception on my drive into town- but no where near as many as the car seems to suffer.

My MS did have both AM and FM radio with both MCU1s that I had. what I have looked for is radio tuner AM and/orFM with Bluetooth output- can’t find one. I guess this is the price of our new digital world. The Tesla tech who changed over both of my MCUs reckons that not only is the FM tuner a...

After the usual MCU1 problems,including a replacement MCU1, I finally decided to go for the $2.5k MCU2 upgrade. I am remarkably disappointed by the lack of radio as the new LTE (4G) sim appears to be much less useful than the old 3G sim for Spotify and Tunein. Often takes 5 minutes of driving...

Bugger, bugger, bugger!! I have an existing order for a new MS and thought I might get it in March this year. Guess I will just have to keep driving my current MS. First world problems can be a bitch!

I carry a ARB tire plug kit in my MS and have fixed a few similar punctures. Worth visiting a 4x4 show to learn how to make these sorts of repairs- they are quite simple to do.

Pulled the trigger:- Blue Long Range, 19" wheels, Oak interior NO FSD Forecast delivery Feb21

Looks like the sunroof has gone. VERY few options these days- you get to pick colour, wheels, interior trim and FSD. That id the total list of options on the order page. On the other hand most previous options are now standard.

Truth is I mainly charge at home via Solar and so with greater range I doubt I will really need much supercharging. In fact we usually have excess solar power and because we are off grid the Tesla was a good way to maximise solar production. Not that I really needed an excuse to buy the car- all...

I thought I was waiting for a refresh- perhaps the M3 batteries. But it doesn’t seem likely in the not too distant. Bit like waiting for the latest new computer- it always comes eventually. And even when you do commit another new one arrives sooner or later afterwards. Paulp- thanks for the...
