    Removing mud flaps

    After going through 2 sets of RPM's mud flaps I too have the same issue in getting the plastic "el cheapo" screw fasters out - and that tool won't help. I'm going to drill the screw in faster out and be done with their products.

    RPM Tesla Mud Flaps are very nice

    100% in the past 14 Month, I've went through 2 sets of them. A quick call to their customer service, the girl said I MUST of drove it off-road or hit a curb...lol. The first one broke from driving over a puddle at near highway speed and the second broke when I was driver over speed bumps at a...

    New York, Long Island Area, Model Y Performance Driving Dynamics

    I live right by Exit 50 of LIE. During my 18 month ownership of MYP, I had 1 popped tire - wasn't paying attention, hit a massive (I mean massive) pothole while on FSD. Otherwise no issue (knock on wood) over the sh!tty LI roads. Unless you need the 7 seat configuration, MYP is a no brainer...

    How do you delete "Onboard" footage?

    the only way it will be overwritten is if you trigger an alarm event. I.e. hit the windshield with your fist to trigger car's alarm.

    2,300+ Miles Family Road Trip AND We Drove It Like a Regular Car.

    No spare, but did bring a fix flat kit with tire plugs and a pump. I have AAA Premier + it's the best $170/year you can spend. It gives you 4 tows up to 100 miles and 1 up to 200 miles. Other essentials: extra battery packs to share, roof sun shade (although we didn't use it once) and a...

    2,300+ Miles Family Road Trip AND We Drove It Like a Regular Car.

    There are many threads and YT videos on how to properly plan an EV road trip, but I wanted to prove that it's possible to drive our MYP like a regular car. Given Tesla's robust charging network and car's usable range, I took the family on a road trip based on destination instead of destination...

    290mi at max charge after 6 months

    Mine is less than a year old and mine NEVER got above that since December of last year.

    290mi at max charge after 6 months

    Had mine MYP for 8 month and the rated range never went anywhere near 305 - always hovered around 265-275ish. I always charge it to 80% on a daily basis. Do you think I need to have the service center take a look at the battery health?

    PPF Accident

    what i would be more concerned with is if this went through insurance and if it will show up on CarFax...this will create a diminished value case which usually is around d10-15% of the car.

    Tesla Offer electric frunk

    The video by Tesla DIY person is 80% okay. He mumbles and doesn't explain clearly when it comes to the lock mechanism, wiring and where to put the unit and motor. I did the install yesterday myself using the video and manual and it took over 4 hours.

    DIY Repair Curb Rash on my 21" Uberturbine Wheel.

    Thanks! I had to use the brush to cover the bare metal first and use as light of a coat of spray paint as possible just in case the color doesn't match too well (which wasn't the case).

    DIY Repair Curb Rash on my 21" Uberturbine Wheel.

    In case you didn’t know, be careful using smart summon pulling your car in and out of a spot next to a curb because the side cameras will not “see” the curb. Just got a nice curb rash on my rim but managed to fix it myself for $28 with Dremmel, sandpaper and some spray paint from Home Depot...

    Please keep us updated...interested in find out the cause.

    Rattle, Rattle goes the headliner

    check the assembly holding the rear view mirror (if you use your hand and push against it the noise will stop). Mine was fixed a few month ago and literally came back today.

    How do you delete "Onboard" footage?

    Over the weekend a passing by Harley set off the alarm and they previous previous footage was overwritten. So I guess the onboard memory will always store the last alarm triggering event.

    How do you delete "Onboard" footage?

    You can download the alarm footage, but it still remains with the onboard memory.

    Metallic rubbing noise coming from the brakes.

    It wasn't the rust sound. I suspect it was a small rock caught between the caliper and the rotor. The sound has not returned since.
  22. spdracer888

    How do you delete "Onboard" footage?

    the footage is in the "Onboard" section - not "Sentry" or "Dashboard". Once you launch the footage, there's only a "Download" icon but no delete icon. I've tried to download, but the footage remains in the "Onboard" section and cannot be deleted.

    How do you delete "Onboard" footage?

    My wife accidentally set off the alarm and was recorded by the car's onboard memory. Does anyone know how I can delete it? I have no issue at deleting Sentry or Dashcam footages.

    Rattles.

    please check the housing above the center rear view mirror (the one with the interior camera). I thought it was right side as well until I put my hand over and temporarily stopped the rattle.

    Third party charger vs nema outlet

    It seems there are really two reasons to hardwire instead of a NEMO: 1. plug is too far away for the charger to reach. 2. you want to charge at 48 amps - max rate for home charging for the car.

    Acceleration Boost Purchased

    Here's a silly video I did comparing MYP and MYLR+AB. To each's own: logically I think LR+AB is the way to go...but I bought a P because I'm simply an idiot per my wife lol.

    Metallic rubbing noise coming from the brakes.

    Yesterday was a pretty cold day and I had to use my brakes to stop instead of relying on regenerative braking. After a few uneventful short trips, I noticed a loud metallic rubbing noise coming from the front right brake last night - stepping on the pedal reduced the sound almost entirely. I...

    Another Range Post

    A combination of low temperature and hills is the main factor. My last 30 miles average w/mile is around 300 or .3 kw. Since MY has a 75 kw battery, I get around 250 miles (75 divided by .3) range based on my driving style. If I want to get 315 range, I will need to shoot for 238 w/mile -...

    How often do you use Smart Summon in public?

    I can usually walk to the car faster than smart summons. With that said I use it a lot, because I always get a kick out of the onlookers faces when they see a driverless car pass them.

    Tesla Wall Charger vs Charge Point vs Juice Box

    You get $0.05/KWh rebate if you charge between 11PM and 6AM. That's on top of the $500 rebate for the wall charger (Juicebox and ChargePoint). I ended up with the ChargePoint Flex on a 60AMP circuit breaker charging at 41 miles/hr.

    Towed back to Tesla after driving only 32 miles...

    Bummer. I was hoping to read a favorable resolution. This adds a another level of stress to this purchase process as I'm expecting my MYP shortly. Sorry this happened to you...I, too would've done the same.
