Looks like dogs, deer and cats are already in AP visualisations.. surely they can add roo's. This video made me laugh..

This is not ideal TESLA SUPERCHARGER ROLL-OUT IN AUSTRALIA STOPPED AS JOB LOSSES AT TESLA END NEW DEVELOPMENT Wonder if they're referring to the Mansfield site that was earmarked for opening this year.

*Update on rear-vision mirror assembly rattle* I took mine to the Canberra SC who advised they've looked at a few now. It has to do with the way the GPS assembly is mounted within it.. the service tech advised the GPS antenna is in the rear-vision mirror assembly, and the Bluetooth, Cellular...

Love the full screen vehicle-control visuals while parked!

Haha, how bad are they! Sometimes I wonder whether Linkt might have some security holes in their systems as when I came back from Newcastle earlier this week I got 3 phishing messages in the space of 24 hours.. coincidence? Lucky SA doesn't have toll roads.. It cost me $24.25 for a one-way trip...

Yes, the Australian mmWave market is not mature and it's probably a 2-fold problem where the lack of capable handsets is inhibiting network growth, and the telcos don't want to expand the network when no one can use it. Who moves first here :) mmWave has its own business case for future use as...

We could speculate a few reasons why you lost 5G access but being on the wholesale network already puts you in 2nd place to network access priority against OG Telstra customers. You are correct, the statement is 5G covers 'population', not 'Australian geographical mass' at large. I do agree...

Haha, it's crossed my mind, doing some home DIY renos on it, but not worth it for just a toll-tag. You can't generally see it ajar due to the middle headrest being in the way. I never noticed the light bleed but next time I'm driving at night, I'll have a look.

By all means use it as freely as you like (thanks for asking).

Agreed, hence my comment regarding the requirement of investment from outside parties. Even moreso in Australia as our population is so geographically dispersed. You did ask 'What EV functionality are we looking for that only 5G can provide?' which is V2V and V2I (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency...

What my parcel shelf looks like: I noticed the foam piece now that's mentioned. Also, the child seat tether point is brilliant for hiding your Toll tag in. It's ever so slightly ajar in this pic due to the odd shape of it but can confirm it works just fine.

Follow-up from this post. I lodged a service request and within 24 hours, Telsa service remotely pushed 2024.8.9 to my vehicle and advised this should rectify the issue. I asked further questions if what happened was a known bug or if they could see more information on their end but they are yet...

4G/LTE will stick around for the foreseeable future, probably at least into the next decade. However, there are use cases where 5G enables capabilities 4G simply can't. Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications (think networked self-driving cars, and autonomous traffic...

Is this on 2024.8.9? I was just thinking tonight about how the Telsa Vision parking assist appears more fine-tuned. I believe the heat signatures are more accurate to distance sensitivities and it's picking up more detail than prior updates. Is anyone else noticing improvements?

Agreed, UWB has been out for a few years now. The same could be said of the modem inside the Highland (not sure what MY is shipping with). 2G/3G/4G/LTE. Now I know they ship the Shanghai-built car all over the place for RHD markets and need to remain compatible with a breadth of cellular...

No rattles from my parcel shelf but I have one in the rear-vision mirror assembly that's very obvious on coarse road surfaces. Had it since I got the vehicle and finally booked in Monday for the service centre to have a look at it.

Correct, the new Highland supports UWB which in my iPhone settings I can now toggle UWB permissions for the Tesla app (presumably for CarKey support). I'd love if Tesla got on board with Apple and allowed your key to sit within Apple Wallet, but I'm inclined to think this will never be the case...

2024.8.9 seems to be getting pushed out en masse. I wasn't going to be able to do a manual check until after 5pm today but after a recent drive this morning, my car just prompted me to install the latest update. I just found out Tesla manually pushed it to my vehicle in support of a service...

Oh what! I charged there last week and they were free.. Must of just changed very recently. It was bound to end at some point I guess..

To be fair, I guess this is the equivalent of me spending 1.5 hours at Coles using the free charging after my 30 min shop is done.

Interesting, I'll give that a crack. I always single-tap for AP (as that's what I have set it up as).

ICE owners meet-up today, Costco Majura Park. I felt left out.

Interesting, I hope mine is just a one-off also.. but the way it continually happened on my way home was kinda unnerving.. I'll admit, I mustn't be an experienced driver.. when my screen came back on eventually I was doing about 20km under the speed limit.

A little story on my Highland journey today. Short summary: Complete MCU failure mid-drive Long Summary: I took my vehicle on a trip from Canberra to Newcastle, stopping once to supercharge on the way up. Brilliant highway car, although I am now more inclined to purchase EAP as I absolutely...

haha yes, how did we even survive that 5+ month wait? A great test of patience.

See how you go! Interested to hear other people's experiences. They're not bad by any means, but I'm still not 100% sold on vision-based auto-wipers. Maybe they should've just stuck with the tried and tested rain sensor tech. At least software revisions can refine the tech over time. I've also...

Has anyone noticed the wipers appear more sensitive now on 2024.8.7? During the day, they have been near flawless with this rainy weather, adjusting perfectly to the heavy/light rain patches. Nighttime though is a different story.. the wipers would go straight to the highest setting for the...

Also just checked, still on 2024.2.7. Hoping AUS gets a special update to fix our UMC firmware :cool:

Finally stretched the old new girl's legs by taking a typical Easter long weekend Canberra - Bateman's Bay - Canberra return trip. A few things stood out: - Did the entire day, return trip included, with a few hours stop at the beach and cafe on 1 charge. - Gained 8% battery going down the...

I should also add, I ended up getting my roof tinted with 20% grade tint. It has certainly made a noticeable difference to the temperature inside the cabin during the day but at the cost of very low visbility through the sun roof. You can see streetlights and the sun through the clouds but it is...

Had an interesting experience today using Exploren public chargers for the first time. Tried the first one 'Remove charging cable and try again' Second one 'Error - fault found. Remove charging cable.' Third one 'Remove charging cable and try again' I thought this was odd and as I pulled into...

Has anyone performed a software update not plugged in and not on WiFi? My app keeps nagging me about a software update (from 2023.44.100.1 to 2024.2.3) that's due but it's currently sitting at the detailers. I probably best wait until it's back home in the garage to update in case they need to...

Look at that water beading! Ceramic coat certainly makes a difference. What was your vehicle coated with @dronus? I went with Gtechniq after the detailer recommended it. I had previously used Opticoat on my last car which I was pretty happy with.

Thanks. I saw 3 this morning on my commute to work. Do we have some sort of special wave going on now when we pass each other? haha

Well, it happened.. and I couldn't be more happier. Put 39km on the clock between driving around and dropping it off at OCD in Mitchell for some ceramic coating + tinting. Was a little sad dropping it off for a few days after just picking it up.. back to the ICE car until it goes on the weekend...

Just received a confirmation text from Tesla confirming my delivery appointment for tomorrow afternoon. I kinda can't believe the day is actually almost here! I sort of lost track of time lately, being busy with work and general life again (also checking this forum less made it seem like the...

I feel the sweet spot would be having the option of both a smartphone app and tap & go support. Options for consumers aren't a bad thing, the same way consumers can use a tap & go card, or use their phone on most public transport now. In the same way, you can pay via credit card, bpay, POLi...

Great insight and write-up! Thanks. I believe the Mackay Tesla site has been chosen as Ooralea, near the Woolies/Maccas if you know the area. Apparently online sometime this year. You can thank the Labor state government for the public charging infrastructure initiatives in QLD Queensland's...

100% agree. Similar to how public transport has been revolutionised by 'tap & go' on Visa/Mastercard/AMEX/Apple Pay... this should be the standard or at minimum, an option on public charging infrastructure. I'm sure a small little tap & go window could be made more aesthetically pleasing than...

No worries, I'll be interested to hear how you go. Side note, can you automate that process? IE: if kw/hr rates fall below a predefined threshold then charge the vehicle up to no more than 80%? or do you have to manually do all that?

I just reached out to Tesla to ask whether I should bring in my UMC next week to get the firmware updated. Their response: Has anyone confirmed that they could update their UMC firmware on the new M3?

Has anyone purchased Highland floor mats from Tessories? If so, how do you rate them? Delivery is fast approaching early next week and I have 0 accessories except the UMC

As a self-professed AI company, I don't think it would be difficult for Tesla to inject and train their voice command system on the various accents/dialects from around the world.

All tucked in. Didnt get to drive it today, was too busy getting the ICE car ready to sell. Looks great! Sorry if I missed a post but did you get the roof tinted with your windows? If so, how does it look/feel?

Surely the logistic boffins have crunched the numbers and worked out it's more economical to truck Teslas from MEL than get a ship to call in? Maybe they don't currently get the same sales numbers as manufacturers that ship straight to SA, or the ships they use simply don't wish to head there...

Great to hear, my mate's old M3 was shocking. It took no less than 5 goes and a poor attempt at an American accent for it to understand 'route me to Jindabyne'. To be fair though, Siri has her moments also. Sometimes when I tell her 'Coles Dickson', she routes me to Dixon, Texas :rolleyes:

I'll be doing the same. Wouldn't say no to dropping $10k for FSD once it's out of Beta though, and hoping it stays that price.

Tesla App Gains Ultra Wideband Support to Improve Phone Keys ^ Also good news for iPhones that have UWB (iPhone 11 and later) "While some Android phones also include UWB hardware, Tesla is launching support for the iPhone first, but we can expect supported Android phones running Android 13 or...

Also good to readup that we all get Adaptive headlights.. delivery day can't come soon enough (12 sleeps)

Looks incredible mate! Glad to see everyone enjoying their cars
