    Model Y Reverse UFO Sound Change/Disable

    Not sure the date on the above is correct as our late build 2020 model Y has no built-in reverse sound. It did become standard not long thereafter though.

    Installer recommends an electric garage heater. Is it necessary? I’m in the Chicago land area

    Seeing all the negative answers here I guess it has a lot to do where you live. You cannot build a home here that does not have an insulated and heated garage complete with drain and water. let me reword that, you can but nobody would. Even a used home from way back would be difficult to find...

    Installer recommends an electric garage heater. Is it necessary? I’m in the Chicago land area

    Not required but sure is nice. We keep our garage at around 60f. Cars are always toasty during the cold winter months and the battery is also. If your garage is well insulated, why not? At least you have the option and you decide if you want it on or off. I have a 24 x 24 garage with 12'...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    Not on both our MY and MS. Just tried the close button inside the frunk on both and they both work fine. The remote app buttons also opens and closes the frunk as well as the visual indicator showing them in the correct open or closed positions. I do have the latest and greatest firmware...

    Closing of Hood Resulting in Damage?

    I put in an auto frunk over 3 years ago on the Y and had one on order to install on the MS when I got it. The early models had some issues however those were mostly taken care of. The S has been perfect from day 1 until today which is going on 2 1/2 years. Was actually surprised Tesla did not...

    Is Elon thinking of REHIRING some of the fired SuperCharging folks

    I tell my people if they are ever faced with something they do not agree with tell the Supervisor/person in charge in no uncertain manner you do not agree with their decision and better yet if it is really bad then write a note saying so and have him sign it. 95% of the time the person will...

    Is Elon thinking of REHIRING some of the fired SuperCharging folks

    Nobody except Elon knows why this happened but I am sure his decision is warranted. As an employer I can tell you there is a tendency to go from a very productive unit/person to what I call driftwood as time passes. Sometimes its better to start fresh and put the excitement/performance back...

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    We are in the same boat as you with a low milage 2020 Y. Waiting for Juniper with a bunch of other people as well I must assume. I have a feeling that when the new Y does come out there will be a waiting list until they catch up with the orders. No big deal, no rush, perfectly good car and if...

    Model Y Plaid

    None of these badges mean anything anymore. Take Mercedes as an example, you can order AMG "Trim" and there are many of them out there. below is a snippet from Mercedes. Same deal with BMW by the way. Now take the new Highland M3P. Their is mention of Plaid and there are even plaid style...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Canada made active matrix headlights legal in 2018 however Tesla has not implemented the functionality them in Canada yet. The amber parking lights and turn signals are standard across the board on all Tesla cars since 2020 as this is an international standard with exception to the USA which can...

    Plaid center console light turns off when fully opened?

    Thanks for reminding me about this. When I first got the 2022 MS it was late December 2021. Told them about the issue so they tried another car in the showroom which operated the same way therefore the answer was "this is how it functions, nothing wrong". Was not going to try to convince them as...

    Thoughts on Superchargers After a 2300 mile trip

    Carrying a CCS adapter is like carrying a spare tire. I have them in both our Teslas along with J1772 adapters. That being said, I have yet to use the CCS however one must consider there are more CCS stations than superchargers at this point in time. Kinda like saying one can only fill up at Exxon.

    Peeling yoke replacement

    So lets start talking on how to get it to peel prematurely. Premature peeling, it that a thing?
