A wrong-way reverse in Holbrook

Wagga Wagga 2025

On our way home from Wagga Wagga: coffee stop in Holbrook.

When we were leaving the motel, the car’s auto gear selector put the car in reverse. I opted to not plough through our hotel room, by selecting drive, forward. But, most of the time, it gets it right.

Beautiful drive through rural NSW. Looking quite green at the moment. A slight pause for livestock clearing grass from the road edges.

Back at the car with the coffee, we discovered, after nearly three years with a Tesla, that the car image on the screen updates to show the window positions. We sat there like a couple of nerds paying “window goes up, window goes down”.

Charging

We didn’t need to stop here to charge. We still had over 50%. But we aim to charge whenever we’re stopped anyway. Super easy. Plug in, walk away. No app or credit card needed.

  1. I love The Ten Mile cafe. I always stop there when passing through Holbrook.

  2. It’s a good idea to hold the scroll wheel to bring up voice control when this happens and say “Report a bug, auto shift wrong direction”. It’ll send diagnostic reports to help them fix it :)
    Or note the time and report it in the Tesla app under service!
