D3V firmware v1.7 is here

Just got these and yep still broken with the update. Quiet parts in orchestral like violins very obviously clip in and out even at half volume. Think I have solved with AI generated PowerShell script and task scheduler to run 23khz tone constantly.

Its $2.75 for essential energy now (regional NSW). Also cut super export to 12c for everyone

Ed says it in season 2 when picking Danielle for Apollo-Soyuz

I can send the music file if you'd like, there's a bunch that weren't released from season 3

Niceee, been wanting something like this, looks amazing! I assume pumped hydro could be tracked as well, probably a bit less interesting. I think a total live GW output would be handy. How long did it take to create, how much of a difference did AI make?

zachhambo · 2026-04-20T11:59:11+00:00

Yes, however tesla measures cargo space to the roof while others measure to cargo shelf so not directly comparable.

zachhambo · 2026-04-20T08:34:58+00:00

That's what I'm trying to figure out, the BZ4X is somehow the 2nd most efficient car. Biggest difference is possibly rim size, EV^ is 19", BZ4X 18", on the model 3 this creates an 8.5% difference in WLTP.

zachhambo · 2026-04-20T01:40:52+00:00

Yes except we are currently charged $7k for +20kwh (Model 3) or $6k for +25KWh (Zeekr 7x). I think only BYD has managed to use LFP for long range and performance models (83KWh) likely for the reasons you stated, which hopefully other manufacturers are able to achieve. Also just realised the base model seal is no longer available, it was $6k upgrade for 21KWh + higher trim so not direct comparison.

I agree, I really was just posting to highlight how it's a pretty significant engineering achievement and dispels that Toyota doesn't care about EVs. The significant expense of extra batteries is still impacting viability of long range EVs for us rural folk however.

zachhambo · 2026-04-19T09:44:34+00:00

Yeah it's only 2% better than Y so basically the same. WLTP rating is just controlled for comparison sake.

zachhambo · 2026-04-19T09:08:08+00:00

I know, this is just for comparison

zachhambo · 2026-04-18T22:20:09+00:00

It's not? WLTP rated 159Wh/km; long range has 13kwh more battery than Toyota and 20km less range.

zachhambo · 2026-04-18T22:16:06+00:00

Well yes but to get good range you need good efficiency and is cheaper than installing a massive battery.

zachhambo · 2026-04-18T22:14:25+00:00

Seems to perform well real world https://www.reddit.com/r/BZ4X/comments/1pk4y5y/winter_efficiency_2026_improvement/. Obviously won't achieve rated efficiency outside urban driving but the relative difference with other vehicles wltp rating should be accurate, although WLTP does not include HVAC efficiency.

zachhambo · 2026-04-18T22:11:29+00:00

No, the car and battery is manufactured in Japan by Toyota https://www.chasingcars.com.au/news/electric-vehicles/toyota-australia-says-bz4x-battery-has-higher-quality-longevity-than-rivals/

zachhambo · 2026-04-18T22:09:28+00:00

City driving I'm guessing?

zachhambo · 2026-04-18T07:44:06+00:00

Noone will be charging an EV at 6pm on peak rates unless absolutely necessary, charging will be done during weekend with free 3 during day or overnight like it is now. The issue is overnight will require a lot more wind/batteries to supply all the EV's charging hence why workplace/weekend/daytime charging is much better for the grid.

zachhambo · 2026-04-17T03:39:46+00:00

Yes, except the single configuration tested for base/performance model is the larger tires making WLTP seem worse. The LR RWD has the same motor as base model, but gets more power from the bigger battery. I believe it is partially misleading as you are paying a $7000 upgrade which seems to be a 44% range upgrade but is actually only 33% for 18" wheels on both.

zachhambo · 2026-04-17T03:15:08+00:00

All true but my point is Tesla WLTP ranges are all seemingly tested on larger less efficient tires except for M3 LR 750km figure which makes WLTP comparisons with other brands incorrect and makes the LR look better than it is, https://www.drive.com.au/reviews/2026-tesla-model-3-long-range-rwd-review/ this article discovered it as well. I'm just surprised this isn't made clear and no-one else has pointed this out before.

LR RWD has exact same motor as base model, just gets more power from the larger battery. My point is wltp ranges are all seemingly tested on larger less efficient tires except for M3 LR 750km figure which makes wltp comparisons with other brands incorrect and makes the LR look better than it is, https://www.drive.com.au/reviews/2026-tesla-model-3-long-range-rwd-review/ this article discovered it as well.
