Orix sent us some more documentation and I found this on one of them. Not sure what it means? specifically the second point in this. Does this mean that we will have to get some sort of a documentation from the employer to continue using the vehicle for private purposes?

So, I checked with my wife's employer's preferred NL provider - Orix. At this stage, they don't cover charging costs and they won't take the car back at the end of the lease period either, rather insist that we will have to buy it at a pre-agreed price! Can I ask if this is consistent with...

I'm about to order our 2nd Tesla this week (Model Y RWD) and I tossing up between a car loan and a novated lease. I was wondering if anyone had the behind the scenes math figured out for this? From the little I understand right now, Novated leases work differently for an EV than traditional ICE...

Huh? Electric cars are dying fast and the repair industry is lagging - do we have an epidemic of cars breaking down?

Interesting... and no I haven't tried moonwalking yet :) ...

Since the new update overnight, my car doesn't autolock when I walk away. Is there a trick that I'm missing?

Sorry another novice question - can someone help explain how to read these images correctly? thanks

Thanks

I just tried doing that and it doesn't change the WLTP based on tyres :(

Can I ask what sort of an impact would having 19 inch wheels have on the range (as I have those)?

Not really - I'm usually on the green line or thereabouts for power consumption. Always within the speed limit, accelerate gradually 99% of the times unless the situation calls for it once in a while... but 399 is the range displayed when its 100% charged. so I'm thinking i should get it looked at?

Hi - so I've had my new Model 3 Highland RWD for about a month now but I've noticed that the max on 100% charge is only 399 kms. I never expected it to be close to the WLTP but 399 seems ways too low. Can I ask what range do others gets with a similar set up? thanks in advance

No, I'm not but it was bluetooth connected to my Pixel (Android) phone at the time and we were navigating (using Tesla's inbuilt app) back home at the time. Interestingly, I tested it with an old iPhone device this morning and it worked just fine, but the moment I connect my Android device, this...

Has anyone else seen this so far? I upgraded to the latest software release a couple of nights ago and since then, my car at some point starts calling this "Unknown" number. Its actually not a call from what I can see. The cancel touch button doesn't work on the screen and the only way I can get...

Likely also because Shanghai may be at capacity already and India is only allowing a few thousands of imported EVs at a lower import duty per year anyways. The number i read was around 8000 ish at 15%.

Is it normal for Sentry Mode to drain 5.8% of the battery in 24 hours?

ok so not 75 then (I might be wrong about that as I'm not an expert but just an observer here) but conservatively 30+ production lines? That's still a mammoth ask, don't you think?

I was reading on another forum and I was hoping to validate this with what people on this forum might have seen - having an iOS widget on your phone apparently leads to some battery power loss as well each day. The way someone explained was that it keeps pinging the car at a set interval and so...

Looks hot!... I'm getting mine done next week...

In the not too distant future .... on planet earth, when Toyota has gone under... say in 10-15 years ... do you think all these "executives" will look back thinking we were smoking some real hot stuff back then!

I transferred the money in 5 different tranches starting on a Friday evening after hours and then through to Sunday evening. It all showed up in the Tesla account by COB on Monday, which I thought was pretty quick. They even called me the next morning to see if I wanted to bring my delivery...

I find Amber a little complicated - I'm trying to understand it a bit more. I guess need to sit down with it and work out my specific use case and how the automation (charge on solar etc) might work with it.

Hi - I'm a new owner and am looking for help with 2 questions please... #1 - re "Cabin Overheat Protection" - I have it turned on since I bought it as I usually park in the driveway without much overhead shade. How much battery do you reckon it should consume every day? I've noticed that the...

For fun... (30) Public EV charging is a DISASTER (and always will be) | MGUY Australia - YouTube

I counted the other day and Toyota has over 75 distinct passenger car models across the world. To electrify each one of these in the next 2-3 years, especially when the same models are built in several countries around the world - you are looking at retooling 75+ production lines concurrently...

I thought that EVs didn't need any service or is it not the case? This video is about BYD btw, not sure if the same applies to Tesla as well. I haven't heard that this is the case but just wanted to check. Thanks

That's the OVO energy plan... correct?

First day charging experience - even though I have a home charging solution, I went for a drive around where I live and thought that I'll experiment with public charging. There is a free 7 KW charger (4 chargers, 2 were available) at the local shopping centre - but they all needed a cable. Then...

is a 5m cable enough for most charging places, 7m seems quite a bit more expensive!

A quick question - the extra charging cable that we may have to buy to charge at public charge points - does it need to be single phase or 3 phase? Thanks in advance

They must love her over at Toyota!

I have a bunch of people in my family / friends who can't look past a Toyota - money is not an issue for them, they even test drive a merc E / BMW 5 and can easily afford one, but always settle on a Toyota. I don't know why????

I'm picking up mine in about 3 hours! Can't wait... My wife is already sick of my "Tesla this... Tesla that" talk every day... Lol! She's even suggested a name for the new car... "MLC" = Mid Life Crisis!

Toyota sales have declined in China and Japan...

Does anyone know if there is a group here where I can learn how to automate my battery and charging? Thanks in advance

you bet!

That is a beautiful car! As someone else just said … white on white looks supercool!

I was just checking my registration details and noticed that the model 3 is significantly heavier than my Audi Q5. Didn’t realise that the battery packs can make it that much heavier… 1761 vs 1570 kgs!

I'm due to pick up my car on Saturday afternoon and the new rego number just popped up on the ServiceNSW app...

lol! now wouldn't that be something. They are understandably scared because they won't have a role to play in the EV game then, we can't blame them to trying to create this narrative. But I personally think we are seeing a sad demise of Toyota unless they pull a rabbit out of their hat and...

This interior probably might have looked cool to someone in the 1990s. The issue with a lot of these legacy manufacturers is that they think - oh you want electric, let us give you a futuristic looking design, 90% of which looks odd and out of place.... This thing isn't any different. I'd...

somebody said that EV sales are going down - EV uptake in Sydney's outer western suburbs has jumped nearly 50 pct in six months

Yeah, but I was getting very different rates for the same plan, so was just curious... mine are more like 35c/KwH and 96c supply charge. Maybe it differs from region to region.

Wow - who is your provider?

I can't wait... This is going to be the longest week ever, I'm on holidays in Fiji at the moment but want this holiday to end (never before) so I can be back home to pick up the car!

another question - does Tesla confirm when they have received the money?

For me AAMI, Allianz and NRMA were the cheapest around $1700 with a lot of excess!
