car companies have usually lagged behind the tech and so they’ve never done a great job with music, and probably interfaces in general a few cars back when I first used Carplay the difference was staggering - particularly music and maps

I use Apple Music all the time because it has my whole library from home plus other stuff - the extras are a bonus the interface isn’t as good as Carplay but I won’t bang on about it I would like better scrolling to find stuff - being able to click on an alphabetical list would help so I don’t...

of all the frustrations that undoubtedly occur, my wifi reaches across the road and a few doors down - which I proved yesterday installing the update

[sorry - I’ve always wanted to do this] but seriously, turning everything off and on again could help

nope - iTunes Msrvh was invented to replicate the libraries on users‘ computers irrespective of source I have many thousands of songs in my library and very few via Apple downloads as someone else pointed out, the actual music file isn’t uploaded I think you’ve been misinformed as to how the...

if you upload your music library, doesn't it then 'exist'? are you talking about a particiaulrar style or ethnicity? I don't claim to know how much there is from everywhere, but material published by major labels should be there

you said it wasn’t possible and I explained how it worked apparently it’s not what you want anyway sure, I pay for Apple Music - it’s a subscription service I originally wanted Carplay, and still do - in my spouse’s 500e, with Apple Music it’s even better if you have all your music on your phone...

have you tried running the cloud update via the file menu in the Music app on your computer? I’m assuming that’s where you have your music collection I do it regularly

when you sign up for Apple Music you can then use a function on a computer* running the Music app to upload your music library to the cloud [the list, not the actual files] this used to be called iTunes Match now you just pull down the file menu and select library > update cloud library you...

I can’t see a ‘sliding screen’ do you mean one of the shade screens that fit below the glass roof on the inside? they’re fixed, not sliding I have those and I can’t see how they could crack the glass

I have Apple Music in the car - what difference is there with the phone app? and bluetooth? it's still not Carplay, which would be my preferred interface

today I noticed the icon for a speed camera for the first time it's the one on Homebush Bay Drive oppposite DFO I was driving through the Westconnex tunnel, but no camera was shown there I'm fairly certain there would be one

yep - I discovered that a few weeks ago I just go to the app and do something with the phone-bluetooth-car connection [don’t recall exactly what] and it’s working again I usually carry the card anyway

yep I got the email about that sadly my car is booked in with another NRMA approved place for minor panel work following an altercation last month with a food courier on an e-bike* *there could be a joke in there or an irony, but I’m not amused

and yet there will be times that you arrive at the car and it demands the key card

yep I’m thinking of looking into that we had some film done on the windows but were told that the roof was already tinted, and they’re somehow different the guy who did my Model 3 is a helpful chap, so I’ll discuss with him

I don’t normally venture outside the Aus/NZ part of this forum, but I was casting around to see whether anyone else has a Tesla and a Fiat we recently added a 500e La Prima to the fleet to go with my 2022 Model 3 LR spouse loves it - she’s a former Bambino owner, so had a soft spot as well as a...

I’m leasing my Model 3 through Maxxia I recently got a second lease for my spouse to have a Fiat 500e to drive every time I’ve had to lease a vehicle - this is the sixth, since 2005 - there seems to be ever-more-opaque stuff going on that delays the process I put a deposit on the car in early...

I would have preferred Carplay but Apple Music offers a big library ie everything in my home computer and more I don’t expect fantastic sound quality my spouse recently got a Fiat 500e and Carplay works well on that, with the bonus of Apple Music as well I guess Tesla doesn’t regard having a...

a while back I drove a Peugeot 508 for a few months they have a thing called i-Cockpit note that row of buttons below the air vents it's a bit better defined now - back then there were hardly any visible identifiers on the buttons, so there must have been an upgrade over the period I drove...

my Model 3 has been doing something similar lately the car forgets that my iphone is the phone key, and things happen like I can't unlock the car - need to sue the card on the door frame - or I get a message saying the car is unlocked I can fix it by reconnecting the phone via bluetooth, until...

I’ve also enquired via a snowsport forum - no-one has heard anything according to this they have two years to do it - starting October 2023

I use the Westconnex tunnel between Ashfield and Sydney Olympic Park the car has never really worked out that there's a tunnel, even with relatively recent acknowledgement that I'm driving on the M4 rather than Parramatta Rd I sometimes wonder whether it's using the speed limits of the...

yep - I’ve observed that too

today the Newtown chargers had two EVs parked and charging - breakthrough yesterday I saw a Fiat 500e there for the first time in Aus

Tesla, BYD, Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Fiat, Mercedes, Volvo, Polestar and Mini must be in - possibly others what’s a Maxus? answer: LDV, SAIC etc

the newly-painted Newtown spaces were finally available today last I saw there were two ICEs parked there, as usual

got in a day early

I think I read that Cupra Born doesn't come with an app- not yet, anyway

update a week later and this bit of road is still exactly as in the photo might be a while before we see it painted same with the one on Carillion Ave

the vote occurs at elections based on that outcome, govts usually claim a mandate for everything they do

a brilliant movie by Peter Cook depicted that

I walk around the corner and what do I find? hopefully to be painted soon

good news - I’ll be away for most of November in EV heaven aka Norway, so it’ll be a nice surprise when I get back I guess the section of the council that paints the road is a separate part from the one that installs chargers, which is separate from the rangers running Sydney is a mega-operation...

this is something I suspected about the Westconnex tunnel in inner west Sydney it opened a few years ago but satnav took a a while to update ie it still thought I was driving above ground on those streets with their many changes of speed limit is it possible that it still uses those limits, even...

it might even help in achieving some rationality on energy policy and pricing - ok, faint hope

hopefully a coordinated approach will result they have to agree first!

it's true I think we had a referendum about it, result being status quo

bearing in mind that when this system was set up there were mostly only Tesla chargers available just a key element in their market success

per my post above, the council advised that once they receive a photo they have to send a ranger to identify the vehicle in the space and issue an infringement I presume this has followed legal advice that Joe Blogg sending a photo is insufficient evidence

one problem is the lack of public visibility of the change or of the enforcement the signs are small and a bit confusing no paint on the road they have paperless infringement notices and for a while they weren’t even chalking tyres

I reported via the council's own website - maybe they have that to avoid the rent-seeking

yep I suspect council people feel overwhelmed with the scale of ICEing

he said they act on every report if there’s someone nearby it’s ok but otherwise they send a ranger to the spot my photo isn’t enough evidence

it’s about six weeks since the Brown St unit went live the two charger spots are ICEd most of the time - one car is there almost every day I was reporting to the council regularly until I got a call from the head ranger asking me to stop

I get 1978 red - maybe doing it wrongly worst is that 11,888 ie six times that number are white, like mine

I understood that it was - at the time I ordered my M3LR the price was above the threshhold so I didn't qualify

I don’t park with the car’s bum between the chargers - it’s always looked too narrow to do that, everywhere

I've used it twice recently, wasn't aware of an issue with width only one other car each time, if that's relevant

one thing I discovered recently - and it's annoying - is that Maxxia don't offer minor scratch cover anymore I called a number about a scratch on my car and the guy answered by my name, because I'd dealt with them previously with another car he told me I wasn't covered anymore
