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

windcut - model3 - closeups by miska knapek

3 3

4-5 days' wind movement, from Helsinki

via sensors and Processing, into form

Wind movement measurement data (wind direction, velocity and temperature) was used to generate a 3d form, which was then cut out of wood.

( Digital wind meets wood :)

The wind line's direction is the compass direction of the wind, the wind's velocity is translated into the sculptural/formal wind line's direction. And, the wind's temperature is translated into the wind's height. The plateau represents 0°c. When the wind line is above, the temperature is somewhere above zero degrees, when the wind is cold, it digs into the wood surface.

The project is made possible via (Processing and) a kind cooperation between the Media Lab and School of Design/Paja (special thanks Hannu, the machine master!) Of the Helsinki Aalto University/Art & Design campus.

The data very generously comes from the Finnish Meteorological Institute's Testbed Helsinki Project.

Fedelcode Model 3 Next to a 2001-SRN - Huntersville, NC by TrainsAndSirens1

2

Located in downtown Huntersville, North Carolina at a big fire department. I know what you are saying. "Is the 2001-SRN replacing the Model 3?" No, the Fedelcode Model 3 is used for fire calls. And the 2001-SRN is used as a nuclear siren. The 2001-SRN is tested on the second Wednesday of January, April, July, and October at approximately 11:50 AM. I do not know when the Fedelcode Model 3 get tested.
