Long Distance Tesla Servicing. Arthur Hunt drove over 700 km to get his first service on his Tesla Model 3.
How do you get your car serviced when you live over 700 km from the Tesla service centre? What is long-distance Tesla servicing? Here is Arthur Hunt’s recount of his first service in Queensland, Australia.As planned, the first service on our Tesla Model 3, after 2 years and 35,000 km, has been completed. I drove the car from Yeppoon to Mackay one morning to meet the Tesla mechanic, Steve, who had driven down from Townsville .
For the trip to Mackay, I charged up to 95% overnight before leaving home. Comments on the PlugShare app told me that the fast highway charger at Carmilla was out of action, so I stopped earlier at Marlborough to top-up to reach Mackay. The energy graph on the monitor showed that I would reach Mackay with about 5% of charge remaining. There was some heavy rain before Marlborough and the lane markings were often obscured by light reflected on the wet surface.
Editor’s note: Actually, Tesla leaves a little reserve in there below 0%. Sometimes you have to take human psychology into account.We have received another over-the-air software update involving the cabin camera that points at the driver. We are now invited to help Tesla improve the intelligence of features that rely on the cabin camera by sharing analytics from our car.
