Re: The order is in
I wind it back around the HPWC when not in use....in a consistent way (anti-clockwise) to avoid twisting and so it plugs back in neatly on the RHS. When you get your HPWC all the above will be obvious. Regards. Chris

Re: The order is in
Hello Dave - apologies if someone has already answered this for you. The home wall charger (HPWC) that comes with your Model 3 are available with two lead lengths - 2.5m and 7m. The general advice is to choose the longer lead (and I support that advice), and to have the electrician install it such t...

Re: Hypermiling in a Model 3
Hi Guys - I can confirm that a steep climb at gentle speed....then a long gradual descent works best for Hypermilling. My example is Hartley to Penrith (compared to the reverse) - with a short steep climb at 60kph to Mt Victoria....then the long coast downhill to Penrith. A long downhill descent at ...

In another forum "Lex" posted actual 350kM range in a SR+, two adults, 2 children with luggage at 90kph on a coastal drive. Of course, you should only 'Hypermile' when absolutely necessary (100% to 0%) and generally aim for 90% to 10% for battery health, contingencies (head winds, roadwork or other ...

The Qld electricity distributor will require multi-phase solar if you go larger than 5kW. Your 70m of ug cable will need to be sized to minimise voltage drop under full load, and minimise voltage rise under solar export (assuming you don't self-consume or store in batteries - including an EV).

Most EV owners enjoy driving past petrol stations...that said, we call in occasionally to check our tyre pressure. Service centres on major highways will be the exception that have associated food outlets....and a 'top-up' at somewhere like Emdale Roadhouse could be useful....
