In early September 2019 the first shipments of the long awaited Tesla Model 3 autonomous electric vehicle began arriving in Australia.
All Tesla cars come standard with auto pilot, full self-driving capability and driver assistance features such as emergency braking, collision warning and blind-spot monitoring.
With the next software update, the cars will recognise and respond on autopilot to speed signs, traffic lights and stop signs. A number of other autonomous features will also be available by the end of 2019.
This white Tesla 3 Performance, pictured above is my sons car. He picked it up in Sydney on September 28 2019. Apparently if he had not been there at the pre-arranged time the car would have been allocated to someone else and he would have gone back on the waiting list.
Today Boxing Day 2019 I had my first opportunity to drive this amazing vehicle. Apart from being whisper quiet the technology is unbelievable and the acceleration from 0 to 100km hour in 3.4 seconds is breathtaking.
The standard car with various options he had ordered was unavailable on the day so Tesla upgraded him free of charge to a Performance Long Range vehicle. His car had been ordered well over 3 years previous to the delivery and his great patience has been rewarded with an amazingly sleek and seriously impressive and in the end, upgraded vehicle.
The stylishly sleek low profile Standard Tesla Model 3 has a battery range of 460km (real life more like 350km), a top speed of 225kph and at 5.6 seconds 0 to 100km it has scary acceleration that throws you back hard against the seat.
The Standard Model 3 will retail for Au$67,900.
There are two other models being made available in Australia.
Long Range Standard (620km -233kph-4.6 seconds) (Au$85,900)
Performance (560km - 233kph-3.4 seconds) (Au$92,900)
When one gets into the car the first thing you notice, apart from the comfort of the seats and the sleek tinted glass roof, is the total simplicity of the dash. There is no instrumentation on the dashboard, just a large computer screen which literally does everything. It allows you to conveniently update the cars autonomous and standard driving mode software, make phone calls, use maps and play music. I'm not sure yet but its probably set up for voice command also.
Charging is carried out at Tesla's rapidly expanding network of Australian charging stations or at home through an adapted power point.
Recently I saw that the Tesla Model 3 has become the top selling car in the Netherlands.
It will be interesting to see how rapid its adoption will be in Australia given Australian's record as a world leader in transitioning to new technologies.
It will not be a surprise if the takeup is quite fast, despite our current federal governments best efforts to dampen down all enthusiasm for anything not powered by fossil fuels.
The Tesla Version 10 Update was released on 26th September 2019

The horizon was amazingly illuminated by the rising sun. You can see the captain's side command buttons for the Navigation Display (ND) and some buttons of the autopilot and flight director on the right side.

It's Friday... finally Friday. This will be my 5th 14 hour day in a row. Exhaustion has a new level deep darkness.
Luckily I only have... 11 more days like that. Just 11, and that counts today! So it's just about over.

Whilst discussing the Tesla Autopilot program with Ketil Solvik-Olsen (Minister of Transport and Communication) in Norway last week, Tesla CEO Musk said that the probability of an accident happening is about 50% lower when the system is activated. This is based on early data collected from the Autopilot program, Tesla’s semi-autonomous driving system.
Here are Musk’s exact words: “The probability of having an accident is 50% lower if you have Autopilot on. Even with our first version. So we can see basically what’s the average number of kilometers to an accident – accident defined by airbag deployment. Even with this early version, it’s almost twice as good as a person.”
In this YouTube video a driver with Tesla's Autopilot engaged swerves the car as a swingarm boom mounted truck drifts into his lane to save him from a possible collision.
He is referring to the first generation of the Autopilot as he expects the second generation, which should be fully autonomous, to be significantly safer as it will need to be in order to be made legal by regulators. “I think it’s going to be important in term of satisfying regulators and the public to show statistically with a large amount of data – with billions of kilometers of driving – to say that the safety level is definitively better, by a meaningful margin, if it’s autonomous versus non-autonomous.” While Tesla is far from getting to billions of kilometers of data, the automaker confirmed earlier this month that Tesla owners have already driven over 47 million miles (75 million km) on Autopilot since officially launching the feature in October 2015. The data is increasing exponentially as Tesla’s fleet is growing by tens of thousands of vehicles every quarter. Musk expects Tesla’s fully autonomous Autopilot system to be ready within the next two years. While the technology should be ready by then, Musk doesn’t know exactly how long the regulatory process will take, but he is confident the data should convince them, especially since the early data from the first generation Autopilot is encouraging.
What do you think is the world ready for fully autonomous autopilot cars on our highways? Original article source electrek #teslaautopilot #tesla
