    Wagga to Cooma over the Snowy

    If you go via Tarcutta and charge to 100% there, you can then go via Tumut and make it to Cooma in a SR+, I have done this going the other way from Cooma to Albury. Otherwise go direct to Tumut and charge at the destination charger at the brewery.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Did anyone find out if there will be a parcel shelf? The guys at Parramatta were so busy, I didn't get to ask them. There was none in the MSM display car, and no sign of obvious attachment points either.

    Cooma to Melb in SR+?

    There's a Tesla Dest Charger behind the Thredbo Alpine Hotel.

    Cooma to Melb in SR+?

    Outcome: done with range to spare. Charged to 95% 330km in Jindy, then topped up from 280->330 at Thredbo (it was nearly 0degrees, range was dropping fairly quickly), and arrived at Wodonga SC with 90KM range remaining. If it was not so cold, I think you could skip Thredbo and arrive with 40km...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Only the driver's side one, the others were fine. The replacement had a similar number to the dead one, so I'm not hopeful the blinker light leak will be fixed.

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Had a Ranger come to my house to swap a dead repeater camera in my 2019 SR+ today - he was confident that Y would get deliveries in Au this year.

    Cooma to Melb in SR+?

    I've been via Tumut and that's no stress, but I though that perhaps someone else has made the Jindy/Khancoban/Wodonga run in a SR+ and lived to tell....

    Cooma to Melb in SR+?

    Anyone done the Cooma to Melb via Hume run with an SR+ recently? Doing the run SW via Jindy/Thredbo or Cabramurra/Khancoban to the Wodonga SC does not leave a lot of margin (says need to stay below 90KM/H for that leg, unless you charge in Jindy. I've been NW via Tumut as there is a Dest...

    Charge HQ

    Works seamlessly if you have a Powerwall. Not sure how well the 3rd party inverters etc work though. I can see it adjust the charge rate to match the solar surplus.

    Model 3 Build Quality - What's your experience?

    My car was identical to yours, same squeak in front upper control arm ball joint just started last week. Dropped the boots and water came out, so clearly they need to be sealed better....regreased and sealed, no more squeak. No other issues in 25K KM and 2.5 years.

    Model 3 SR+ near Norwest, Sydney

    Rouse Hill chargers always seem to be working and free, heading west on the main road, turn right at the lights after the station, then a Uey at the next lights, and turn in to the carpark entrance - chargers immediately on your right.

    Phone unlock very unreliable

    Make sure the Tesla app is excluded from Task killers and excluded from power save in settings, otherwise it will not be awake to pair with the car.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Do you have FSD? I didn't spring for that.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Indicating does nothing whilst on autosteer, as that feature called auto lane change, is reserved for FSD.
  23. MichaelVorst

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    How are people going with autopilot on SR+ without FSD? I'm finding the lane change to be a little awkward, as it will not change lanes when you use the indicator, so you either turn the wheel to override, and it jerks a little, or you press up once to disengage autosteer, move, and then...

    Finance Rates

    Are these loan-only rates everyone is posting? I got a novated lease quote for SR+ $71k today @ $700 / fortnight, assuming $20K residual to pay after 5 years, 7.6% interest (rate seems high). They had added $1800/year for insurance (I've seen $1400 quoted here) and $760/year for...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Anyone else get a "Your order has been modified" email with a PDF of their order today? Only difference I can see from a quick glance is that the "terms acceptance date" moved fro 31/5 to 6/6.

    What is your Powerwall 2 charging rate?

    I've had a PW2 since June - max rate when charging from Solar is 5KW, excess of up to 2KW goes to grid. IF you switch it to backup only, and the solar isn't running, it'll charge at 1.7KW.

    PowerWall and switchgear API's

    For those of us who can't speak "jsmn, bash, mysql, bash, gnuplot" there is a pre-rolled logging and display service called PVOutput (Latest Outputs). They have a local integration service that can run on Windows PC, grabbing files from other monitoring systems, but no-one has yet written a...

    Help me understand Powerwall2 use case

    For places with high electricity costs, eg Australia, PW2 can save you a fair bit of money, pay for itself in 5-6 years, and deal with blackouts too. I've just done a detailed review of my install here: www.mikesgear.com

    1/18 scale Model 3 model

    Why don't Tesla give the right to create a 1/10th scale body to Tamiya or HPI or one of the many Lexan body makers - they would probably even be able to get licencing fees from them, and there would be a ready market for people who would want a decent-sized R/C version of a Tesla....
