This is definitely an artifact of 75,000 miles of well-loved driving: the door handles no longer fully retract flush on their own. Instead, I have to gently push them the last millimeter or so. Seems like the springs are weak or perhaps there’s just a dirt buildup inside. Any DIY suggestions on...

In search of better skiing than we've gotten in the Cascades this season, I took my daughter for a skiing vacation this past week at Big Sky resort, which had a week of great snow and a wondrous return to winter conditions. I drove and brought her skis and a couple of my snowboards, plus a big...

Got a critical hit rock strike right in the area in front of the recessed camera well, which appears to have heating element behind it. I'm not sure if this is reparable or not. I'm 10 days out for a rock chip repair date, but would like to get a sense of the likelihood that this windshield is...

60k miles, ‘19 LR AWD. I’ve had the front upper control arms previously replaced under warranty for squeaking. Noises sound similar this time, but coming from rear. I can push down on trunk area by hand and hear it - sounds like a squeaky old bed. From searching here, it sounds like some people...

I just completed the CCS1 retrofit (no problems, quick/easy procedure) and my car now shows that it is CCS enabled. ✔️ How long should I expect it to take before the Tesla store allows me to purchase the adapter?

I received the recall letter from Tesla about this in December of '21, noting that they'd let me know when parts etc. were available. I've not heard a peep since. NHTSA VIN check shows it still incomplete (which is accurate). Should I just keep waiting patiently, or is there some action I'm...

Not too much to say - I haven't had a motor fail, bumper fall off, window crack, trunk leak, etc. Just the front upper control arms under warranty. 😆 I drive the car hard in the worst conditions - crappy dirt forest service roads for mountain biking for three seasons, and snowy/icy mountain...

Today while driving, this error popped up. No other errors, no obvious impacts while driving. Brakes seem to work normally. Cameras are all clean. Car has 45k miles, 12V is only a year old.

I don’t have a ton of info on this yet and I owe this community a little more detail and effort of my part before expecting too much. That said… I have 44k trouble-free miles on my ‘19 LR AWD - other than front control arms, which were replaced under warranty earlier this year. I put 200 miles...

I can’t find a way to turn on heated seats without also turning on the full climate control system. I used to be able to do this before the regressive latest UI style. Now I can only seem to do it by pulling out my phone and using the app. On the in-car control screen, tapping the climate...

My one frequent fixable complaint: PLEASE, Tesla, pause the stereo playback until only driver’s door opens (or just pause and let us press “play” when ready). Drives me insane as I’m usually the last to get in the car, and passengers in back seats (kids) can’t control audio, and neither can I...

Super short post, but I’ve had these on my car for a few thousand miles now. Synopsis: 👍🏼👍🏼 Arrived timely and with all the hardware. Easy to install, though harder than the video will make it seem if your car is like mine: packed with dirt and the plastic clips requiring to be cut apart and...

Weird problem that just started happening: soft signal on the left does three clicks, right side only does two. It should be three on both. Both do three flashes, but right side is much faster and finishes three flashes in only two clicks. Thumb wheel reset didn’t fix it. Anyone seen this...

I have a suspicion of the cause for this problem, but would like some confirmation: when I use a voice command to call someone in my favorites, two entries always pop up - same name, same phone number. I have to tap one in order to proceed with the call/text, but it doesn't matter which I choose...

The newer model 3s have a hatch in the rear bumper underside cover, for installing the hitch receiver. What is involved in replacing the older style cover (no hatch) with the newer one, at home?

Nothing to do with temperature, but maybe dirty: driver’s side door handle works fine, but doesn’t retract fully sometimes; narrow leading edge might still be sticking out unless I push it in manually. Anyone deal with this before? Just needs cleaning, or is it an actual fix item?

Anyone have luck with a non-heated charge port model getting the charge port replaced with the newer heated one? Did it need to be defective to get replaced, or can you just pay for the upgrade? Can mobile ranger do it?

Try it out this Christmas!

Third winter with this car (coming from >10 years of driving Torsen Quattro), and finally had a legitimate call for Slip Start today, while navigating an unplowed rutted dirt parking lot with 6” fresh snow on top of slush. Once I could feel the TCS cutting power to a standstill to avoid wheel...

After updating to 2021.40.6, I’ve noticed the charge port door often closes immediately when I start to withdraw the charger cord, or sometimes opens and immediately closes when I click the button on the HPWC. Anyone else seeing this?

I’ve noticed lately that the browser takes a minute and a day to start up and load pages. It’s so slow that it feels like something must be wrong (runaway thread, memory pressure, priority inversion, etc). I’m on 2021.36.8. Anyone else seeing this unusably slow behavior? It’s not a network...

For those of you who had this done at the service center, how long did it take? Few hours, all day, or overnight?

My son has racked up points in Sky Force and Cuphead. How do I start a new game?

I'm tracking this thread on the model Y forum. I seem to have the same problem. Anyone else? Synopsis: dashcam was working fine prior to 2021.24.10. Since then (and still on 2021.24.11), the dashcam icon isn't present. If I format the USB from the car, it will appear for about 15 seconds, then...

Anyone find a way to be able to dial a number from the browser? Tapping it leads to a search, which is totally lame. Ideally, tapping an address in the browser leads to navigation, and tapping a phone number leads to dialing it. I know I can work-around with voice control.

I had mobile service come for a 2 year inspection. I’m at 30.1k miles. Total cost was $155. I didn’t have them rotate tires (I do that separately). They swapped the 12v prophylactically at my request, and did preventative sealing of front control arm joints though I wasn’t seeing an issue yet...

Aero caps, 21° C average outside temps, windows 1/2 down, no AC, OEM crossbars + bike mount on roof (not used this trip), full size MTB on hitch mount. Big climb up a mountain. 147.9 miles round trip.

Not a whole lot to write here: product arrived promptly and with installation parts. I had to email for installation instructions, which they sent immediately. Installation was straightforward but definitely benefited from having my son help hold up the shield while I bolted it in. Fits like a...

Similar to this recent (and as yet unanswered) post on the Model Y forum, I'd like to understand how to prevent draining my 12V battery even when the HVB has plenty SOC. For example, while car camping: exterior or interior lighting, stereo, USB accessories, 12V accessories (like a cooler, pump...

I’ve got some reservations about tinting the rear window. I’ll probably just do it anyway, after finding a really highly rated shop in the Puget Sound area, but I’m curious to know if anyone has done only the sides and is 👍🏼or 👎🏼on how it came out. Bonus if you have pics.

Preaching to the choir here, I know, but just wanted to share that I’m yet again stoked at how this car works for adventuring into remote areas for mountain biking, ski/splitboard touring, hiking, … My latest adventure was a 372+ mi RT same-day drive into the North Cascades National Park for...

I hate the chrome, but I hate even more the thought of vinyl peeling away from (touchless) car wash or harsh weather conditions. I’m a frequent “adventure” driver - blizzard conditions in winter, unpaved FS roads in summer - and that is both tough on the exterior and increases my wash frequency...

I’ve noticed lately that my car will lose cell service inexplicably in areas where this never happened before (like my garage). It will be out for sometimes hours, then just come back at full strength - even though the car hasn’t moved. I don’t have a good way to test if this is a carrier issue...

For the last 24 hours, I’ve been seeing timeouts trying to connect to my car from the App. Car is on 2021.4.12, and is in garage with strong WiFi and cell signal, same setup that’s been working fine for years. Bluetooth connects normally and I can drive it fine. Eventually the App will succeed...

I have an AWD and am just wrapping up my second winter season on these tires, including some very intense winter driving. Overall very pleased: I haven't seen a noticeable efficiency hit in the dry (trying apples to apples drives), and they really hook up great in the snow and ice. I've got...

I've been on the fence on these for nearly a year: MPP 1.75″ Model 3/Y Suspension Lift KitRated 5.00 out of 5 $500.00 I'd prefer the look and performance on-road of lowering and going with coilovers, but I drive a lot of rugged/potholed/snow-covered roads in search of adventure. Model Y wasn't...
