    Supercharger - Taree, NSW

    Looks like it's all waiting for the power provider to connect the mains power before testing and completion. That could take a while. Saves me a visit tomorrow.

    Supercharger - Taree, NSW

    Taree, like Raymond Terrace, has v4 stalls with the screen for payment facilities underneath the charge handle for those other brands. Raymond Terrace is open to all comers...

    They'll whimper less now that NRMA stuff has lost its freebie status and are all pay per use.

    Supercharger - Taree, NSW

    Yeah, how is the install and operational cost recouped at household supply rates even with NSW Govt funds? He has the option to use the Evie charger at the Taree service centre off the motorway. When/If it's working but it too is not household rates. We're just lucky that Taree is so far along...

    Supercharger - Taree, NSW

    The first of the pics posted by @jacko306 on the 4th show what looks like a plastic lined trench inside the fence but it is not really distinct. Having the drill there does sort of confirm an under road power supply solution.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    As it's only been around for 7 days and the majority of cars on TeslaFi have been updated to 8.9. I would surmise that 8.7 is the buggy version they're trying to remove from the fleet. 8.7 got to just under 50% of the TeslaFi fleet and now it's down to just 17% with the majority of 3's now on...

    Tesla Model Y - Whilsting Noise Unresolved - Regret ever buying the car

    Model 3's had a problem with some cars whistling from the gaps in the roof glass and windscreen area. You can buy a sealing rubber for 3's that seal the gaps to solve that whistle. Try putting tape over the gaps between the windscreen and roof glass, the two roof glass panes and along the side...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Apple is a different system. It uses Akamai and their worldwide server infrastructure to supply updates. When you look for an Apple update your software is pointed to the closest server for downloads and this can vary in each geo depending on the burden of updates from each of the server piers...

    Supercharger - Taree, NSW

    Doh! It's obviously space set aside for the cable reels and other stuff when delivered. Not possible to store it inside the park.

    Also, the longer cabinet may be for the control of the solar and contain batteries for storage. The capped conduits may be for the installation of another cabinet of battery storage in future. Time will tell. It will just be good to have this site online.

    Supercharger - Raymond Terrace, NSW

    Redrafted my deleted posts for clarity - I saw this pic which shows capped conduit at the site but it matches the size of the other cabinet to the right and doesn't match the layout for the 3 power cabinets in front. The extra space may well be due to the size of the solar strings and their...

    Supercharger - Taree, NSW

    Nothing visible. I think that will come once the site is more finished. Lots of concrete to go in yet. As previously suggested, over head from the existing infrastructure is the likely application. No trenching to bring it from the existing ground infrastructure which would have happened before...

    Supercharger - Taree, NSW

    Dropped by the site this afternoon. Limited progress wasn't worth pics. Concrete has been poured around the conduits for the HV units but still needs a pour for the plinth to mount the cabinets. Roadside has been prepared to pour concrete with formwork in for the stalls and paths. Nothing on...

    Supercharger - Raymond Terrace, NSW

    The pics from Whirlpool (direct links): The reason the number of stalls didn't look right is because the last set are at right angle to the main set of stalls adjacent to Adelaide Street (L shaped). From the blue tarps it looks like there are still a couple of stalls to have the charger...

    Supercharger - Taree, NSW

    May be in prep to relay the surface and they may be installing overhead solar panels as they have in Raymond Terrace and they needed to have the tar gone to install the mounting posts. The road surface is in good condition on that part of Wynter Street though. Also may be laying concrete plinths...

    Supercharger - Taree, NSW

    I was in Taree this morning and dropped by the SC site. Guys were working in the rain to get the trenches and conduit laid. The sparkies turned up to view the site but were tight lipped on the installation. Looks like 12 stalls and the cabinets will be off the street in the park behind the...

    That proposed location is behind Hungry Jacks (lower left on the roundabout). Nothing there this week when I was in town. I'm in there again Monday and will check out the previously pictured site prep near the park.

    Brake Regeneration - Low To Non-Existent (Aussie Site - Discussion)

    Tessie has a good graph of energy usage for a given trip. The regen is displayed on the graph as a green trace so you can see if it is operating efficiently. This graph is of a longer drive to illustrate the data it captures for your drive. If you hover the cursor over the trace it will display...

    Brake Regeneration - Low To Non-Existent (Aussie Site - Discussion)

    Sorry to hear of your issue. I only experience the reduced regeneration when I have charged to 100% for a trip (2022 M3LR). I also get the blended braking icon on the screen until I lose a few % of charge but regen comes back within 5% loss. On Xmas Eve we had drinks with friends out of town...

    Range anxiety and broken chargers.

    Selecting the Supercharger icon on the screen of the car will show you all nearby SC and the availability of stations at each so there is not issue there. 3rd party is another monster all together. I had checked on the Chargefox charger the night before (in Plugshare and the Chargefox app)...

    Well there's another theory down. It can't be just 2022 models affected. Can it? I give up now. ;)

    So, after some discussion around the traps it seems the adjustment is available for cars without the octovalve like your 2019. 2022 models are not able to set this it seems.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    This may have been part of the failed 40.1 update and your hire had it but that has been pulled and the official version at the moment is 36.6 issued after 40.1 was pulled. The owners (on 36.2 - 36.6) I talk with don't have the ability to change the setting. My settings only allows the option to...

    Cabin overheat setting is only available to owners who use the Fahrenheit temp scale. At the bottom of the release notes it states that for those using Celsius the temp remains fixed at 40 deg C. I got 36.6 yesterday.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    From the notateslaapp.com website: Some users are reporting that they can not enable Live Sentry Mode because the button is missing from the UI. This appears to be a bug that may be fixed in an upcoming update.

    Model Y HUD upgrade

    Very true but there are no HUD units that aren't fugly in their implementation to shine on the inside of the screen and they are difficult to integrate in to the Tesla CAN. Some owners have installed the small display unit that slots into the A/C vents in front of the steering wheel but it is...

    Model Y HUD upgrade

    I had people telling me not to install a HUD but my partner wanted the front display of info. I installed the larger EVOffer system. Not cheap at USD$400 but a perfect fit. Unlike the Intel MCU versions the one for the Ryzen CPU is a quick install connecting to a spare CAN plug in the A pillar...

    Spare Tyre for Model 3

    After receiving the first wheel from them with that rating I thought so too. But they sent me a wheel for another type of vehicle that didn't fit the Model 3. When they sent the correct wheel and tyre it came with a Kuhmo tyre rated at only 80 kph. In fact it is the same tyre fitted to the...

    Spare Tyre for Model 3

    With the low profile tyres of the LR and P you are more likely to suffer a catastrophic failure from a tyre wall split like mine. Because the Hankook is an EV tyre it has a foam liner on the interior sidewalls to reduce noise and that gets destroyed in a pothole strike making the tyre...

    Spare Tyre for Model 3

    I ordered the Modern Spare months before my 3 LR arrived last month. Travelled to Chatswood for pickup by train so the wheel stayed at home. Got a blow out on the front left wheel on the drive home from Sydney thanks to a huge pothole. Bent the rim as well. Didn't have the wheel in the car so my...

    So, I've been a member off these forums since the day I ordered my 3 LR. I've lurked here and sometimes contributed when I can. But this thread will be dead to me come Wednesday at 11am as I will be finally taking delivery at Chatswood. I have mainly been on Vedaprime where I found the service...

    Yes. Trade-in is deducted from the drive away price including all taxes and on road costs. Not from the vehicle cost before taxes.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    From other owners with personal plates Tesla has a template that they drill the holes in the plates to fit during pre-delivery. You just need to drop them to your pickup location or SA for them to do the work. I believe some locations even supply licence plate protectors with the Tesla logo.

    Australian Model 3 2022Q3 Orders/VINs

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yes you can. In fact it is the best option as adding to your order increases the price and sales tax goes up plus, depending on your chosen model, it may attract LCT. It will be available in your app along with acceleration boost if you ordered an LR. AB only for LR with front motor like the P.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Having ordered before Xmas last year and, being delayed, my LR got the new additions from the January 2022 upgrades which was a bonus but not something I would have waited for. These new rumoured uprades/changes have no effect on my delivery which is currently on the water making its way to AU...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    The HPWC uses L1 to N to measure voltage drop across the unit in order to know when to trip the RCD circuit protection. L1 is measured as it can either be used in single phase or three phase operation so it is the obvious choice for measuring voltage drop. If your system is out of balance it...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    The main frame of the 3 is designed to be agnostic in relation to the location of the driver. The firewall has two identical openings for the steering components. On each version (L or R) the unused opening mounts the MCU and the associated liquid cooling pipes for the MCU. Pedal mounts are also...

    Yeah, I've seen this video. I have the storage box for this area of the console so not something I'd do. I have also seen some owners stick the tag to the back of the main screen out of sight but visible to the readers with some success.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I think the problem in NSW is with Service NSW (formerly RMS (formally RTA)) in that you can only collect the plates from their office where they are stored if you are placing them on a vehicle. You must supply the vehicle details (existing rego) and pay the relevant fees. Alternately, a dealer...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I asked my SA about mounting my personalised plates (NSW - Chatswood delivery) and he said they don't do this. You have to swap them yourself after delivery. The only time they will do it is if your trade-in has plates to be transferred. They will do that for you in that case. I've heard from...
