Nope, no alternative. Anyone need a black back badge?

Needs fangs...

Phew! Nigh on $500 seems a bit steep to me. I can't justify that. My gear fits under the boot "floor" where the "repair" kit is stored. Charger + 10A extension cord, Type 2 cable, spare tyre tools & windscreen cleaner all catered for. Aftermarket struts? Nah, the standard bonnet holder works...

BTW - Where did you get that frunk? TIA

BTW I can report that the Vodafone coverage (that our Aussie cars connect via) has dramatically improved. As a long time Vodafail user I've become accustomed to where to expect mobile connectivity to be functionally usable. On the "long trip" there used to be some pretty large dead spots even...

Ahh, so it looks like V4 chargers support "contactless" NFC credit cards rather than RFID cards. That would work for me, but the vast majority of Tesla chargers here in Australia are still V2, V3 AFAIK. Darn it. Mobile comms here can be pretty bad.

You bet. Chargefox and Evie both support charge initiation via an RFID card. I always use it in preference to the app. Much more convenient and reliable. I really wish Tesla would support it but I don't believe most (all?) have the hardware support. I've never seen a spot to tap a card... One...

My apologies for casting nasturtiums... I was a tad emotional! That being said, you gotta love "features", especially undocumented ones:ROFLMAO:

Funny you should mention that :cool:

"A Stressful incident"... I think I've uncovered a bug with the GOM. I know, who would have thought :LOL: Sooo, in the Hay to Wagga Wagga leg of my recent long trip coming back I had 265km to travel from a 80% SoC start. On the open road with no surrounding cars at 110kmh this is actually...

Great to hear. If I ever manage to break the GOM again and not be able to DC fast charge I'll be trying this out!

Thank you! Have you noticed if it resets the GOM value? TIA

Whoever the mod is who decided to turn my multiple independent posts into one TLDR wall of text, thanks... Not. Why would you do that? There's a reason people break down their posts into bite size chunks that are independently relevant. I'll put them back into the individual pieces they...

Oh yes, it was no issue going over. Charged just fine. I'm very confident it was a bug I uncovered in our MG4.

So I did my "big trip" and it was a great success, save for one small, well smallish, well OK, very stressful, incident :ROFLMAO: The journey is from Haberfield, Sydney, NSW to Black Point, SA and then back after a lovely break at the beach house for a week and a half pottering around the...
