Thanks for the link! Glad to see its still useful. I do need to update it to cover the removal of the Mobile Connector from new orders, and a couple of other minor things that have changed in the last year or so since I last revised it - but you've inspired me to do that, and to keep paying the...

Tesla Tow Bars Australia EV Stealth Solutions should have somone

I wonder why its described on FindUs as Brisbane West. Toombul is very much north-east. Maybe there is one for Indro as well?

There will be in Q1 2022 - Link

I wrote an article about this a while ago - Charging Adaptors — TSL43.info

It's a cone shape with a cam lock into it, it's *very* sturdy. If you go through the photos at the bottom of my article you can see the mech and the stainless block it goes into.

It's been a long time coming but there is now a fully complied tow bar option for the Model 3 in Australia. TOCA have achieved this compliance on behalf of its members and for the benefit of the Tesla community at large. Anyone is free to import and fit their own bar or buy one from a local...

I can't see 15mm spacers on their site ... do they still make them? I've also sent a message to ask them directly.

I taped over the individual wires and then taped the harness back together. It'll be fine, I used to be an Auto Electrician in a former career :D

You'd either have to cut the car wire or disassemble the connector to get the heat shrink over the wire. Once you've cut the wire you need to rejoin it making the wire shorter than it was. The wires in most cars are only just as long as they need to be so then you're stretching the wire, or...

I've written a post about my tow bar installation - Tow Bar — TSL43.info

I imported it from Stealth via MyUS. Came to about $1500AUD for all the bits I needed for the complete Tow+Rack package. You'll need to get these locally: trailer parts, boat trailer parts, camper trailer parts, caravan parts, horse trailer parts box trailer parts. Ark Corporation - to protect...

*waves* thats me. Let me know if you have any questions. The car does have a 3 pin plug ready for the OEM trailer module that supplied a large-ish 12V, earth and CAN bus wire. I used the 12V and earth for the Ark relay box I used. More posts about it: Tesla Model 3 Australia Tesla Model 3...

I've got a similar noise and eventually traced it to the trunk lid sitting a bit low on the right hand side so the hinge rubs on this adjustment bolt head. You can see the mark in the paint where its been rubbing. I have a service appointment in February to have it sorted. In the meantime I've...

I think it's worth saying we (new owners) paid for AP. Lately is included in the base package, but to say we didn't pay for it is disingenuous.

Skimming the last few pages of this thread. I've been down the road of using an OpenEVSE to synchronise the car to my solar output but the developer of OpenEVSE seems largely uninterested in changing its logic to suit Teslas (and other high capacity EVs. So I've sold my OpenEVSE and am working...

Or join TOCA and loan one from them.

You've posted in the Australia section :)

I've been to a couple of Cars and Coffee events in Brisbane with my P- and have had a great reception :D

Can confirm - my car is at Brisbane airport now - with Sentry on its about 24km of drain a day, with it off its less than 1km/day with my waking it once or twice a day.

I doubt they have stock. Call Service (Find Us | Tesla Australia) and ask. Autobarn sell a Slime brand repair kit for $110ish that's water based (cleans off the tyre and TPMS). That Model 3 in Australia includes two key cards. I got the impression it only included one in the US. I humbly think...

It's also worth asking how much a claim will cost in ongoing lost discounts. Years ago I had a small bingle that was just over the excess amount. When I calculated how much making a claim would cost me over the next several years the real cost was much more than paying for the repair myself...

I need to update my Charging Adaptors article!

You get the 7.4m one. And yes, left side.

I don't have a reference right now, by I understand the S and X have different frequency fobs in Australia and the US. But it's likely the Model3 fobs are all BTLE world wide.

...and is only in these regions

I have a Note9 and it fits fine on the Jeda V2 in both landscape and portrait, even in a thin case. The Note10plus is slightly smaller in every dimension.

Yeah, 25% tax above 65k for ICE cars and above 75k for hybrids and electric. Theoretically it was there to protect our local car industry, but the last factory shut down about 5 years ago. The stamp duty is collected by the state, the rest is federal. Despite the fact that the states get their...

In Australia all 18" wheels get Pilot Sport 4 tyres. SR+ and P3D-. I have mine in-flight to me for delivery 23/9. Thought you may be interested in what an Australian invoice looks like :-D

[citation needed]

You've made your point. Many times. We get it. Now shoosh.

One cable will do if you get the 32A three phase version. 32a on one phase or 16a on three for the Model3. (Per the article I linked :p

I'd recommend a three phase 32A Type2-Type2 cable. You can get them from several places including Tesla, Aliexpress or EVSE.com.au More details here - Charging Adaptors — TSL43.info

A friend with a S P100D on order has been given a delivery date of the 23rd of September in Brisbane. The same day I pick up my P3D-.

Taking the cap off for the photo would help

Invoice secured

They wont. The car delivered in NZ seems to have come with the single phase blue 16A 'caravan' adaptor for the Mobile Connector, but that wasn't in the Australian press cars. They only had the 10A and 15A three pin adaptors. Everything in my article still seems accurate and I will update it as...

Per a previous post the bank account number they give you is unique to your invoice. Its a Tesla BSB, effectively. Yes, transfer to them like anyone else.

On the subject of high value bank transfers I messaged CUA (their new 'I'm CUA' app is great!) and they said they could authorise the increase in chat with some detail confirmations and a SMS to my phone to authorise. It would take the typical 24-48 hours most direct deposits take to clear. If I...

I think you can suck up the $57 in interest you'd save :-D $100,000 * 3% / 52 weeks = $57.69 This hardly seems like the time to be stuffing about over the value of next week's coffee budget.

That grey one in Gympie will get me from Brisbane to the fam in Rockhampton. Pretty excited about that. I'm already hassling my dad to put a 15A outlet in his garage :D

I just had a call from Heath at Tesla Brisbane to confirm my details and tentatively book in delivery for 10:30AM September 23rd. Red Performance Lite, reserved 1/4/2016.

If you sort @Random206 sheet by the last 6 digits of the VIN you can definitely see the builds were in batches. I'm pretty excited to see some more delivery dates set in QLD and NSW - we're definitely under-represented so far.

There are people (like me) who reserved 3.5 years ago who don't have anything official yet either. Don't get too upset :p

Yeah, a 488 one, then it disappeared for a couple of days and now this.

I just got a new hidden VIN for my P- in Brisbane - 5YJ3F7EB0KF443283 Its in the sheet

Being a pain in the arse to a bunch of people who are simply unable to do what you ask through no fault of their own.

Seriously?!? Dude. No. Stop.

TOCA Queensland is planning a 'Getting to know your Three' event tentatively on the 6th of October. PS. y'all should join TOCA.

I'd imagine it will be a pdf listed in the same place as your Order Agreement.
