There was reviews that Tesla has been compelled to halt Mannequin 3 “Highland” deliveries in Australia over a matter of technical non-compliance with Australian guidelines.
Right here’s the gist of it – Australia Design Guidelines (ADR) requires {that a} automobile comes with a centre prime tether level to safe a baby seat that’s accessible with out instruments.
The Tesla Mannequin 3 does have a prime tether level welded to the physique. However the up to date Highland mannequin is now lacking a gap within the parcel shelf to entry it. This was beforehand out there on the unique pre-update Mannequin 3. This violates the “accessible with out instruments” portion of the rule.
This requirement doesn’t exist in Malaysia. The highest tether rule is usually an Australian factor. Most mother and father right here safe their baby seats with ISOFIX factors solely, and an alternate to prime tether is a help leg which extends to the ground of the cabin. Nonetheless, in case you intend to make use of a baby seat that requires the usage of prime tether for correct fitment, you might wish to be aware of this challenge.
No information but how Tesla will cope with this. It may need to replace the design of the rear parcel shelf so as to add the entry to the highest tether level again in.
