Be great to get 10 years half a million miles but I should also be realistic about potentially upgrading when the 6 year loan is paid in sept 2026 (300k miles)

Love my Y it changed my 3.5 hour commute into something manageable. I drive from south NJ to NYC midtown M-F 4am to noon shift. 190 miles or so a day depending on road closures/errands. Tires every 60-70k AC compressor heat pump service Holding up well. I do have to charge upwards of 100...

Interesting question, I have MY 2020 with 165,000 mile on it, I'm hoping the battery holds up well into 300k by the time the car is paid off but perhaps will need to replace battery in 3 to 5 years. MY battery is the slightly smaller 74kwh pack vs the close to 79kwh the new Y ship with, I...

Got home with 19 miles yesterday decided to let it sit there for two hour before charging. When starting the charge it indicated 10 miles. It added 128 miles to end at 138 miles or 50% This makes me think the BmS made some adjustments to what it considers 10 or 19 miles while sitting there at...

great points, I do usually have sentry on but now that i dont have the energy to spare I'm going to stop using it. that should help it sleep a little more. as for the charging at home, the car generally charges from 2pm to 10pm 10-90%, then when i wakeup at 2am it gets an extra 5-7% if needed...

Great question, on the average day I depart 220am get to work by 4AM, work till about 1145am, driving home Noon to 2PM, and plugging in before I grab my bag and head inside, once a month i will wait to plug in to give the battery a chance to sit at a low percent. and on the weekends I only...

following up, hoping for some more responses, i did read through the entirety of the thread and did find some interesting insights... I'm willing to stop and charge, its certainly cheaper to get home and charge but now if estimated arrival is less than 12 miles or 4% ive agreed with the wife to...

Thank you

It ran out at 3% and car estimates to get home with 2%

On my way home today I ran out of power had a bad spot about 2.3 miles from home. I had 7 miles left according to the screen but was losing the ability to accelerate and then had a vehicle shutting down screen… it was 55° out slightly cool but not the freezing temperatures that caused this...

Several climate control issues have popped up over the last year (climate unavailable and vcfront447?) but recently with summer approaching and a Florida trip next month I decided to get the heat pump serviced… The car has 141,000 miles on it and it is very much out of warranty. They...

lifetime 288 watt hours per mile 40,276 total kWh. Two sets of replacement tires snippet of that story below and link. New tires must have 12,400 miles on them now… Whelp I definitely should have swapped these tires out sooner but by the time I could get the 3rd set of tires installed, the...

Lol no thought about starting one but it’s a bit late now, haha

Agree they quoted 600 which I suppose would be fair if that’s all it needs and can be repaired same day

What a great car. It may only charge to 286 instead of 316 and it may have a dent/scratch here or there but other than that it still feels like a new car and a treat to spend 3.5-4 hours in each workday. I did have the front control arms serviced Tires air filters both twice. Need to replace...

I actually need an alignment the inner edges of front tires wore more than outside. I’d post a pic but I’m too embarrassed by the shape of the tire at the end. Tesla is asking for 275$ alignment and balance. I see Firestone also offers that service for MY curious if anyone has used them?

There was a noticeable drop in efficiency or gain in watt hours used to go a mile. I’ll try to find the exact numbers I’m guessing 5% penalty or an extra 15 watt hours per mile First 3 miles of my commute local. Next 88 highway. Then slower Lincoln tunnel and last two miles stop and go...

Original tires were continentals which worked well but wanted fresh tires going into winter changed them with 4/32 left. The new tires are rated for 50,000 I believe. I’m usually not in chill mode I prefer to have that power available if needed, with a Tesla sometimes rapid acceleration is the...

Whelp I definitely should have swapped these tires out sooner but by the time I could get the 3rd set of tires installed, the second set ran for 15 months from 55,761 miles To 127,596 or almost 72 thousand miles ! Both the old and new tires are Michelin Pilot sport all season 4 19” tires...

YES ! and it makes me laugh out loud every time its my favorite undesirable bug with the car :-D

Today was the day, a little over 22 months into ownership the odometer rolled over from 5 digits to 6---- 99.999 -> 100,000 She is holding up well, needs service for squeaky suspension/control arm at some point soon... in the last few weeks I have lost a few more miles than expected, topping...

ok that is certainly possible, dong the math quick I'm getting 20.667% range loss with that methodology, I would be very happy with that :-)

origional tires lasted 55,761 miles, then switched to michelin pilot sport as 4, they are holding up well with 6.1-6.4mm of tread depth at 87k changed air filters twice around 40k and 80k need to change wiper blades soon

I hope to keep my car for 10 years. I’m adding 50,000 miles or more per year. Curious what you think my usable range might be at 500,000 miles in the first 100,000 I will probably be at 295/316 or 21 miles lost in 100k. if we 5x this that would be 105 miles lost ouch, but keeping in mind the...

88 Miles per hour ! For 1,010 hours would be MY mileage It has been almost 20 months since we got MYstique and if I wasn’t going for a Y name the more appropriate name would be work horse or Rocinante haha. Long commute into NYC, and harsh winters should test the limits of my battery She is...

Thanks guys. Typo in original post should say Piano black. I haven’t used automatic car wash but perhaps my hand wash soap is less than ideal PH wise. I will definitely be looking into those other products mentioned

After 18 months and a lot of driving I’ve noticed the black trim sometimes stands out as seeming dirty even right after a wash 🧽 in the driveway. Wish there was a way to get it prison black again

19” wheels. The stock tires were replaced around 50,000 miles with Michelin Pilot sport all season 4. I wanted an all season for the winter snow ❄️ though they definitely come with the penalty of some added watt/mile consumption perhaps as much as 10% If you look at my Trip A or since our...

Sad I missed the odometer pic at the exact moment :-( I'll make sure not to miss the pic at 100,000 in 5 months or so Doubt I have the highest mileage Y, but curious how far behind I am and if I'll catch up averaging 1,000 miles a week …? Car has been great and makes my commute much more...

Haha that is definitely what the wife encourages me to do. My primary incentive not to is getting off the highway, navigating a busy parking lot and getting out to plug in then unplug five or ten minutes later just to navigate that busy parking lot again. There was a nice patch of ice right by...

I should try that I have been apprehensive with my irregular leave for work time of 2am and worried will it be charged or not. Hehe And yes there are fortunately several chargers available on my route if needed.

Great point, going into cold weather is definitely another big factor. I’m sure a part of that big swing is associated with the cold

Living in NJ and having to commute each day to NYC regardless of weather I wanted to go with an all season tire at a minimum… On Oct 28 2021 at 55,761 miles - MY tires changed to Michelin Pilot sport all season 4 at Costco I’m now over 15,000 miles on the new tires with two road trips. They...

Yes I’m considering that more now, gonna try 95% at least for the 5 nights before work in a Cold winter week. Also experimenting with adjusting Amps such that the charge finishes close to when I leave for work. Yesterday lowering to 29Amps had it finishing an hour before my alarm to wake up...

Stock 19” tires that the car came with, I suppose I could look for old picture and zoom in on tire Hmm 🤔

That is a pretty cool device, but definitely some sticker shock on the price hehe. The stock tires were replaced around 50,000 miles with Michelin Pilot sport all season 4. I wanted an all season for the winter snow ❄️ though they definitely come with the penalty of some added watt/mile...

PSI sitting around 40, was close to 44 in warm weather. I am fortunate to have a number of superchargers available One very close to my house, and several in the middle, a couple minutes off the route but not bad. the Woodbridge wawa supercharger is nicely located where I get off Turnpike and...

yes perhaps it may be worth turning sentry off if I'm dangerously low, though I do have to park on public streets in Manhattan, so higher chance of someone damaging the car while I'm at work...

Excellent tips on the speed reduction, I did end up lowering my speed to 65 ish and following a large truck for a while which helped a lot. most of my commute is 65MPH garden state parkway and Turnpike, where I try to go 75ish and average 72MPH. I may want to allocate some extra time and limit...

MY is almost 16 months old and has over 70,000 miles. I'm fortunate it still charges to almost 300 miles It gets driven about a 1,000 miles a week for work. and also a lot of driving on vacations(3,000 MILES last week off) Yesterday I left home with about 97%288miles and got home with 0%...

Haha thanks. And yes I sure will. Meant to do more incremental updates but 10k, 20k miles flew by so fast! I don’t love my commute. But my wife doesn’t want to move(loves her house) and her solution to my commute problem was a Tesla. It definitely is helping with that and it’s nice knowing less...

Yes that was an RV park halfway between NJ and the southern tip of Florida, Savannah South KOA Holiday I did call several in this area and this was the one that seemed the most "OKAY" with us car camping and charging. They also had 50amp RV hookup at a tent site so we got the best of both...

In Ocean county NJ and commute to NYC, our Model Y long range works great and handled the winter well. It also has to sit outside in the driveway in the heat of our summer and of course the cold of winter. below freezing you'll burn through more energy, especially if there is precipitation or...

I can't believe it has been a year, our tesla still feels new sometimes despite putting about 1000 miles a week on it for commuting to work! Our Model Y has taken us on some long road trips to the Florida keys, to Disney world, and on a camping trip. Very happy owner, minimal maintenance, will...

Wife found this spring in driveway where we park the Tesla, she asked if it was from the car, I tried a few quick searches and didn't find anything. all operations seem normal but thought perhaps its worth getting a second opinion here Thanks :) Sept 2020 Model Y - 48,000 miles

Having the same problem with the same door/window, put in a tesla service call for June 18, my preliminary research didn't indicate an easy fix... but ill be following here and share what happens with my service call

I’m slightly tempted to try to pull that out a little if only so the radar unit located behind the indent will work properly. Right now autopilot only works foe 15 or 20 miles then it realizes there is an error with radar data not correlating with camera data and it kicks you out says take...

Thanks for the replies went the insurance route and using Tesla recommended body shop that seems like a good establishment. They took some detailed pics and put in a quote with insurance with all the parts they anticipate needing. It got approved by insurance and they are now ordering parts...

After several close calls with Deer each fall this morning I unfortunately made contact with one in MY. I was able to slow from 70 to about 25 after I spotted the deer wandering across the highway. Honked and slammed on the breaks but still made impact and the deer bounced off front of car and...
