    Roof Rack - Is it Really a Risk?

    I can get the Tesla rack for free with loyalty points. Seems the good suction ones are upwards of $500.

    Roof Rack - Is it Really a Risk?

    Unfortunately I live in the city and have no garage nor any space to store a trailer. But yes, that would be the ideal option. I do have the two hitch. And I'm trying to remember why I thought that would be something I could use!

    Roof Rack - Is it Really a Risk?

    I just got my MY and would like to be able to do two things with it. 1) Occasionally carry a kayak or stand up paddle board to the beach. 2) A couple times a year, slowly and carefully, transport 4x8 sheets (maybe two or three, max) of plywood back to my house from the lumber yard 10 minutes...

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    If something really extreme happens at Tesla, have we figured out if we can block any kind of catastrophic update from being installed without otherwise hosing the functionality of the car--functionality such as navigation with traffic, infotainment, etc. (pretty much anything that requires an...

    Downgraded Audio? Might want to let buyers know [rwd vs awd]

    Interesting. My dual motor Model Y drives incredibly smooth in chill mode, as did my similar M3. How much more smooth can it be? Regarding range, what is the real world difference in range?

    Downgraded Audio? Might want to let buyers know [rwd vs awd]

    Interesting! I always wondered what “partial premium” meant. Now I know. But what a funny phrase. Kind of like “partial zero emissions vehicle”. It either is or it isn’t! And in this case, it isn’t premium.

    Black and white seats... regrets?

    I'm now 6,000 miles in with the white after many years with the black. White is so much better. Car feels more open. And zero issues with keeping it clean. Honestly spit on a paper towel and wipe. (Don't tell my wife and kids I said that.)

    Battery health tracking SS

    Meaning held at 55% on average, right? Most work days I charge to 70 or 80% starting at 5am and drive it to work. I arrive at work around 55%, and when I get home at 6:30pm, I’m around 38% where it generally sits until 5am. Weekends sometimes I just charge to 55%. There are some weekdays I...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Just installed 2024.3.6 on my new 2023 (I got one of the last ones in February) MY. I have 250 miles of driving between Thursday and Saturday. Looking forward to trying out 12.3.2.1.go….

    All I can say after almost 6 years of ownership

    I just traded in my 2019 M3 for a new MY. I had 106,000 miles on it. I did have a few repairs over the years, but overall not bad. Had to replace the suspension, which was dumb, because it was only a few months before I traded the car in, but at the time I thought I’d be keeping it for a while...

    Black and white seats... regrets?

    I had black seats in my black M3. I have white in my new silver metallic MY. White all the way. And…my wife loves it. Bonus! Looking forward to a bit of a cooler car this summer. The black on black was brutal. Also, every mark, bit of dirt, etc. has come off easily with a couple rubs with a...

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    That’s a valid point. But my Chill+ would only kick in at 100% to the floor. Or close to that anyway.

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    I need that Kick Down mode! I have another thread on here somewhere where I talk about how Tesla needs a “Chill+” mode where if you floor it, you get the full acceleration, but otherwise it’s chill mode. Anyway, first year or two with my Tesla I was in Normal mode. Now I’m in chill 99% of the...

    FSD Beta 12.3 GA

    Amazing the differences in experiences and opinions on this thread. That's all I have to say! (I'm still on 11.4.9.)
