    What will work with new full stack on ne MY with HW4?

    Does anyone have clear picture as to whether the new V11.x.x releases will not currently work for AP, EAP, standard FSD or FSD Beta on MY/3 with HW4. I.e. V11.x.x releases where full stack takes over old code base to provide better capability for some or all of those on older models with HW3...

    Improved Driving Dynamics with SR MY 4680 w Structural Pack?

    I believe the SR MY built in Texas have had 4680 cells and the structural battery pack since June 2022. Tesla claimed back at Battery Day that front and rear gigacastings and structural pack would significantly improve some aspects of driving dynamics. Have any TMC members who now have an SR...

    Model Y Premium Connectivity and Sirius XM

    I looked through a few of the existing threads relating to Sirius XM and didn't see one that addresses my question directly. My MYP was delivered last month. It has the month of free Premium Connectivity and I've just updated to continue PC. With PC I can stream Tidal through the car's...

    Status of Model Y Issues Tesla is expected to fix

    Adding this thread to track status of MY issues we hope to see addressed and corrected. Two examples are: 1. It was revealed some weeks/months ago that seat structural safety test(s) were old and deficient. There was an accident situation identified that would cause seats to break in a way...

    Path to V2G and Model Y [there is none]

    I expect to order my MY next year after Vermont's "mud season" is over. Later that year (SP willing) I'll work with TE to get solar panels and one or two PowerWalls. Ideally I would like the MY to be able to use some of the energy from the panels on good days, as well as provide further...

    Multiple Benefits from Casting MY Front and Rear Frame?

    News out the past day is that Giga Berlin Model Ys will have one piece cast front frame as well as rear. The primary driver for casting front and rear frame is production cost savings. Does anyone following MY closely know if there are other advantages to moving to single piece castings? I.e...

    Coming improvements to MY and best time to pull trigger

    I ordered an MY Performance back when FSD price was $6K. While I know MY overall is the best Tesla yet, I'm not in a rush to get one this Fall if some quality issues and other improvements are not too far out. Until Gigafactory Texas starts producing MYs, anyone on the east coast of U.S...

    Any MY Performance owner experience switching to 19 inch wheels?

    Tesla offering no tire options for MY Performance puts those of us who want performance acceleration but not large low profile wheels/tires in a bind. Has anyone with MY P switched to 19 inch wheels? If so can you share your decision and experience with doing so? Thanks.

    During one of the Sandy Munro Model Y videos he lays out why he thinks MY is the best Tesla yet and has no competition in sight. Towards the end he mentions a few things he has not liked. The major negative was the quality of MY paint job. Munro went as far as to identify the auto paint...

    Trading in Roadster for M3P - Pros and Cons

    I'm considering the pros and cons of trading in my 2010 Roadster Sport to finance an M3 Performance, and would like to hear thoughts from those on the forum who either have bought an M3 and kept their Roadster, or those who have had a Roadster, sold it and purchased an M3P. Last week I test...

    Possible Mars trip shielding. PV Cells able to convert X-rays and other high energy rays.

    While doing some research on conversion of X-rays to electricity (LPPFusion will need to convert some % of X-rays emitted from the hydrogen boron fusion taking place in a continuously operating generator) I came across the following 2015 paper reporting results using methylammonium lead iodide...

    Promising Fusion research with space propulsion applications

    Some who frequent the SpaceX topic might have run into posts about LPPFusion, a small fusion research company with no government funding yet impressive results for a private or gov't funded research program. You likely don't know that research into their approach, called a Dense Plasma Focus...

    Clean low cost hydrogen boron fusion and impact on environment

    LPPFusion's approach to fusion is the lowest cost design with a chance to one day produce clean fusion energy at an LCOE cost that would be much less than coal, gas, PV or wind power. Clean, cheap fusion energy in the next decade would greatly accelerate efforts to replace fossil fuels and...

    Any idea when performance version will be available?

    Does anyone have any educated guesses as to when a performance M3 might become available? I expect I'll wind up with a dual motor LR M3, but ideally when I pull the trigger I'd know how much more a P will be and how much performance increase.

    Sport Handling Option for Standard MS

    Can anyone think of any good reasons why Tesla Motors should not give customers buying the S Standard an option to pay some additional dollars to get upgraded Sport handling with many of the same parts, changes they've included with the P85 Plus option? I believe that many buying non...

    Likelyhood of Roadster becoming a collectors car

    I'm wondering what other Roadster owners think the chances are of our Roadsters one day appreciating in value, due to the limited number produced and their being unique and great looking? So far the resale market doesn't seem to value Roadsters as future collectables. I'm sure those more...
