EV maker issues urgent notice for Australian customers

There’s been an urgent safety notice to some of Tesla’s Australian customers.

The Tesla “Model 3 Performance” has been recalled over a potential fault with the speedometer.

Almost three thousand vehicles are impacted by the notice.

The recall notice has been lodged with the Australian Department of Infrastructure and says that “Due to a software issue the vehicle, when operated in Track Mode, [the car] does not display the Unit of speed (kph or mph) correctly.”

“As a result the driver may not adequately be able to determine the speed of the vehicle.”
The statement read.

The affected vehicles are stamped Model Years of 2018 to 2022.

The department has also issued a stark warning about the issue, stating that ‘if the driver is unable to correctly determine the speed of the vehicle, it may increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to the vehicle occupants and other road users.’

Customers will not have to return the car to a dealership to fix the error.

Instead, Tesla will fix the error remotely with affected owners set to receive a notification prompting an over-the-air update to rectify the fault.

Apple is developing an AI-powered wearable device, aiming for a launch of 20 million units in the growing AI market.

Apple is reportedly developing an AI-powered wearable device equipped with cameras and speakers, signalling its next major move into artificial intelligence-driven hardware.

While still in early development, the company is said to be planning a launch scale of up to 20 million units.

This move places Apple squarely into the fast-growing AI wearable market, where tech giants are racing to define what hands-free, AI-first devices will look like. Rather than rushing to market, Apple appears to be taking a measured approach by embedding AI capabilities into its existing ecosystem.

Reports suggest Apple is also experimenting with camera-equipped AirPods and smart glasses, with a potential launch timeline around 2027. If successful, these devices could reshape how users interact with AI in everyday life.
