Once my battery is out of warranty Id like to set up V2L using My "S". I had considered buying another EV that offers same but surely it can be done somehow with my S. At the moment my solar home power system runs on an AC coupled Selectronics bidirectional inverter so there is no need to buy...

Does anyone know if you can get access to years of trip storage data. Needed for a Land Tax issue.

My Tesla a prefacelift S is becoming increasing more unreliable. There have been times when I couldnt get it to go at all. Today I couldnt access the main screen. It still motors but I dont think Ill be able to charge it to desired level. Also cant reboot by pressing the 2 scroll buttons. Any...

A few months ago my brother R hit a wombat on the freeway from Wollongong to Waterfall and damaged the front of his 75D. During the repair he decided to get the CCS2 upgrade so he could use the latest SCs. There is going to be one near his home at Gymea. He was happy with the repairs but couldnt...

This is the message I got with my 2015 model S this morning when I wanted to use the car. I didnt initiate a software update and its now been like this for 2 hours. Im still on the original mmc. Pressing the two scrolls has no affect. Ive had the screen go black a few times requiring the reboot...

My left front suspension failed. I have less than a month warranty. The camber arm or fore arm broke at the inside end. There are are plenty of references on the US part of the forum. Mine is a 2015 85D. It is not driveable & has been taken away on a flatbed. I have now lost all confidence in...

I bought one spare non turbine from PJF but would ideally like 2 or 3 turbines. I ll take a set of 4 as my brother will take a wheel also. Can be ratty in appearance ie curb grazed or worn.

Lack of a spare tyre even a spacesaver or even info what could be used. No place to store it. High wear of the rear tires High self discharge of the traction battery & its attached systems. About 10kWhrs per week Poor left & right vision due to the large pillars Need for hand on steering wheel...

Nominate your prefered site. I suggest the BellSt out of date 25kW unit which I never could get to work at all. Perhaps we could fund a location or two ourselves.

Id like to get Costco (AUS) interested in this & am looking for precedence.

I got my first puncture recently. On inspection it was caused by weakened resistance to punctures by the inside surface being worn to steel belt. There was nothing stuck in the tire but there was a crack. You cant see this by looking at the tire from the outside. My understanding is that there...

RecentlyI drove from Melbourne to Marlo on one charge.. This is 371 km. Carrying around 160kg equipment. I have 19" wheels.. Leaving Melb with 99% I arrived with 20% remaining.so with 5% remaining could have done 436km. Travelled at around 80-90 kph with tyres at 40 psi. Returned from Sydney...

There must be some good parts available.

Since the Nag senses the resistance to movement by presence of your hand(s) on the steering wheel you can overcome it by attaching a number of elastic bands or strap to a fixed object such as a door or bag on the floor. Only a light pull is needed. A means for fast removal is also desirable...

Does anyone know the codes for colours so panel beaters can match?

I know thru the RR & Bentley Club that old cars that used to move diggers around on Anzac Day cannot be used because of pollution concerns.. This is probably in all states . This is an opportunity for Tesla to step in and offer same service. I think maybe only Xs are suitable as I have trouble...

Instead of more centralised batteries like the one at Hornibrook SA (!00Mwhrs) why cant we use our own parked cars? You would need three phase power, cooperation from Tesla & compensation from power companies. However you would also be able to charge at Chardemo levels 50kWs. Ill assume that...

A rat gnawed thru the brake fluid reservoir last year. I patched it up with epoxy but it is leaking again. Might have to get a new reservoir. Any suggestions what part for my dual motor S to get apart from going to Tesla?

Just noticed that this Qland Electric Hwy station is now shown on Plugshare.

Im going to Taupo Sat week for my sons wedding to a kiwi. After Ill be taking off in a hired Prius to visit the Northland area. May stay an extra week to visit areas south of Auckland.but will have to return Prius after first week. Are there any EVs to hire in NZ? If any Kiwis have a spare Tesla...

I claim the furthermost trip North in Qld having ventured to Cooktown. Done with a single charger. Some pics later

Couldnt charge at Bell st 25kW FUJI chardemo but could at Delta electronics 50kW near Monash uni. What gives?

Whilst leaving my Tes in the country for three weeks a rat got into the front compartment and exercised its teeth on the master cylinder and possibly a brake line. I got the Low Brake Fluid warning. I hope it enjoyed the flavour of brake fuid. Question- do I have to go to Tesla for repairs or...

Could a Bendigo resident pl check it

". Recently I tried to charge with my CHAdeMo adapter in Coburg, but got a VE122 error on the charger which points to a vehicle problem. I can supercharge OK and charge from AC OK, so thought it may just be the charger was faulty. I then tried to use the CHAdeMo at Swinburne and got the same...

I charged my car to 90% and left it connected. I need to use my ICE car for a week because of a towing need. Will the car top up in this time? Is there hysteresis? ie does it need to drop SOC before it gets more charge?

Whilst backing on a tight spot I heard the dreaded scraping sound. On inspection found that the LHS rear panel had a large scrape from the acrylic paint on the post. I found I could scrape all of it off with a thumb nail and water. That leaves only a dint to pull out with a suction cap. Lucky.

Im trying to get my head around the merits of a second charger for long trips outside superchargers. Say you can drive/charge for 15 hrs max per day & have a 90D 20degC no A/C in use. 8 hrs to charge.@ 11kWs 4 hrs at 22kW driving one person. Single charger 70 kphr range 732ks 10.4 hrs driving...

I have been advised that fees apply from Feb. "$10 monthly ongoing access fee, which includes free use of all our level 2 fast charging stations and access to our level 3 rapid charging stations. Use of our level 3 rapid chargers will cost $6 for the first 15 minutes and 35 cents per minute...

Actually Im going to Cairns from Rocky by train rtn & leaving Tes in Rocky for a week. in the 1st half of Nov. i should be OK to get to Bne from Melb. A few Qs- can anyone use the BMW Chardemo? Is there an undercover safe place to leave Tes in Rocky preferably charging at a low rate? I dont...

Following on from the trip to Fowlers Winery I suggest a lunch to Bailey's. It is about 260ks from Melb so an overnight stay in the area is probably the go. You will need to use the miserable 2 unit Euroa SC. If sufficient interest Ill suggest some dates, best in Spring.

This was to an Old Boys Boarders Reunion. The trip involved Superchargers to Gundagai after which I stayed o'night at my sisters place outside Young and charged at 10A , the next day departing with 100%.charge, At Dubbo I payed $10 to charge at 8A to avoiding tripping a multi outlet board...

I had two solar jobs one at Marlo Vic & the other Gerringong NSW. No SCs this route. Dept Melb with 99% charge first stop Bairnsdale for 3 ph 16A with TJM for about an hour in order to comfortably make Marlo with 3 nights OP (11PM to 7AM) at my customers premises. at around 10A single phase...

Matt is returning to Perth thru Melbourne and I propose a dinner for him 31st May at a Pub within a few ks north or west of CBD. Im looking for one with off-street parking best. Pl indicate if interested.

For AEVA members or those just attending or wishing to join. 2016 National AEVA AGM / EV Expo - Adelaide | AEVA Im planning my route there which will most likely be via Bendigo Show grounds Bordertown or Keith and then Adelaide. My AEVA contact in Adelaide Eric claims that the Chademo charger...

Occasionally we will come up with 3 phase power but only 4 pins L1 L2 L3 & E. The Tes neads a Neutral. This pin is virtually at ground potential. I removed the 3 pin adapter and used solar fittings to access the pins on the other end of the adapter A 4 pin plug was used to test the idea first...

I am going to a Borders Reunion in June this year at Dubbo (from Melboutrne). Ill be OK to Dubbo using SC until turn-off at Gundagai and can stay and charge at my sister's place near Young. Ill charge at my accom near Dubbo and after will go on to Qld to visit family & friends. There is charging...

I have a theory that the best results can be obtained using N as much as possible. On hills be ready to not exceed posted speed limits by engaging D. Have your cruise ready to rengage at your preferred speed. The results will be more believable over say 100ks. I will post my own tests in the future.

Does anyone know where I can charge my Tes between Bega and Batemans Bay? Doing a trip March or April. Nothing in Plugshare. Will pay for power. David
