    What to do when Power Frunk Completely Fails to Open?

    These things are crap in the northeast. Mine has failed once In 1.5 years. EVOffer replaced parts for free, but based on the design it’ll happen again. When it does I’ll be permanently removing it this time. Too bad. Very handy, use it all the time, but not worth the repeated installation/trouble.

    19 inch gemini on MYP?

    On the MYP the answer is "easily". I use Gemini's for my winter tires on my MYP.

    Yearly brake service

    I just have the magic Tesla repairman in his non-Tesla Tesla van come to my house in the fall and lube the sliders on the pads. I usually have something else that needs to be done at the same time. Zhe Wiz in Ithaca with lots of salt

    19" Gemini's on a MYP

    I don't pay any attention to range, so can't help you there. I did, however, put Gemini's on with stock rubber and ran an 11.82 1/4 mile at the track. They don't handle as well as Ubers in the twisties, but they're fine and actually improve straight line acceleration because of the...

    Lifted my Model Y 😀

    Sometimes practicality wins over looks. I’m considering lifting mine, as I need the additional ground/snow clearance where I hunt in late January. Cybertruck is taking too long.

    MYP w/19” Geminis in the snow

    I was out last night in some bad road conditions. The MYP handled it amazingly well after changing three settings. 1. Switched to Chill 2. Switched on Off-Road Assist (I think that’s what it’s called) 3. Used S3XY buttons to reduce regen to 25% (sometimes 0%) That eliminated the back-end...

    19" Gemini's on a MYP

    I'm running 19" Gemini's with Nokian Hakka Studded tires. They fit perfectly, zero issues. Not sure why that message is there. You can even SELECT gemini's as the wheels you're running in the service menu, as you said.

    V11 questions

    I mentally separated the interface from the car not working the way it should. Moving profiles and w/swipes and heated seats are all fine interface decisions…if and only if the device they control work as they should. That’s why I’m adamant that v11 is fine. It’s not the v11 changes that are...

    Everything wrong with V11 update / user interface.

    But what if you’re in reverse and the cameras are up? Does the home link button show on top of the backup cameras? I drive into my garage, so I hadn’t noticed this issue. I think the OP is in reverse and all the homelink buttons are covered up? That’s my understanding, I’ll have to try it.

    V11 questions

    Thank you. Finally a thoughtful response. I think you’re on the right track…the the real problem may be that the auto wipers are horrible. I just drove home in a very light rain/mist. Had to turn off the auto function and just use the stalk button. Very annoying. One of my many...

    V11 questions

    Apparently since my view isn’t the majority view, I’m not welcome here. Thats fine. I’ll “admire” you in silence. No one has explained why they feel a duplicate w/s wiper is necessary. Yet I’m being silenced when I ask for a valid explanation. Glad you all are not designing the interface...

    Holiday Update (2021.44.25.2)- A Big Disappointment

    I agree with the defrost button move. Not a huge change, but not an improvement either. But, why must you view the tire pressures while driving? OK, a quick check before you leave, more maybe you heard something funny and want to check (two taps, not that big of a deal). But really, why...

    V11 questions

    You don't think I'm clever? Crap. Ruined my day. Did you miss everything else I wrote? (Rhetorical question - you did) I love how you guys completely ignore my "actual answers" and continue to spew nonsense and whine about my sense of humor. Ouch. Seems the epitome of no actual answer...

    V11 questions

    I don’t disagree. I liked the defrost buttons where they were, though I admit my car is garaged nearly always and I haven’t needed defrost while driving often. It was nice to have them handy the times I have needed them. Not a deal breaker for me to swipe up and hit them though. As I posted...

    V11 questions

    Yep. Time to quit driving. You completely (and rather conveniently) ignored my helpful suggestion - push the stalk and set the speed to whatever you desire. If the rain’s that bad you should probably slow down and pull off so you can do that safely. If you’re able to push the 4 way flasher...

    V11 questions

    You do realize you can push the button more than once, right? You also know that it pops up the same control panel that pushing the old w/s button showed, right? Stop trying to make it sound like the missing button is some kind of disaster. No sort of weird, irrational argument is going to...

    V11 questions

    You had two options, both perfectly safe. Option 1: press the button on the end of the stalk and the wipers would have wiped. In my experience it also quite often "wakes them up" when they didn't seem to want to wipe. 2: Use voice commands. Neither option requires any unsafe clicking of...

    V11 questions

    I‘d sure like to hear how it’s a ”safety issue” when all you have to do is push the button on the end of the stalk LIKE EVERY OTHER CAR ON THE ROAD.

    Holiday Update (2021.44.25.2)- A Big Disappointment

    It’s apparent that the Problem with the v11 is that some people want some things immediately accessible and other people have different priorities (I couldn‘t care less about the w/s wiper button or access to tire pressure readings, others think those are critical, for example.) My feeling on...

    V11 questions

    Why are you even using the button on the screen? What’s wrong with hitting the button on the stalk? That’s what I do when I need a wipe. :) There’s nothing dangerous here, hit the button on the stalk. That screen space that was being used for wipers was a waste.

    Light show update trunk?

    This isn’t universally true. I have mine set to open lower so as not to hit the garage door when it’s open. Tried the light show 3 times so far, lift gate has opened and closed every time.

    Door handles are hard to see at night

    This is REAL convenient when your hands are full and your phone is buried in your pocket. It’s usually possible to use a finger to open the door…if only I knew where to push. I agree it’s a very minor (but very annoying) issue, but it would have been nice if Tesla had thought of a solution...

    I agree. Not easy to see on a red car either. ☹️

    FS: 4x 2021-2022 Model 3/Y bluetooth TPMS set - $400

    Can get these for $300+tax directly from Tesla. $400 is too much.

    18'' winter tire on performance

    Some 18’s will work. Martians, for example. I don’t know about the Rials mentioned by the OP.

    Studded Tires + blocked Cameras

    I suggested there was no reason to return perfectly good winter tires. I did NOT suggest they buy them. Big difference and you know it. Knowing I’m in the Ithaca NY area is insufficient for you to recommend studded or non studded tires. Nice try. Tesla owners sure do treat others very...

    TPMS Question

    Usually it's because we're buying an extra set of tires/rims (winters, for example) and want the functionality of TPMS no matter which set we have mounted.

    Studded Tires + blocked Cameras

    I love how people are trying to make my decisions for me and for others. You think I haven't read those reports? You think I haven't weighed the pros and cons? I've probably driven more miles on Studless snows than most people here have driven on any kind of snows. I've probably driven more...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    Reading comprehension’s not your thing is it? What I want is for adaptive cruise to work properly. A problem many other manufacturers (WITH collision warning and braking, by the way) have already figured out YEARS ago. You clearly agree with me, you’re just excusing their inability to solve...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    It's quite definitely a problem. I did call it that, I can call it that, I will continue to call it that. The fact that they say it's not intended for 2 lane roads tells me they can't figure it out. Everyone else has, it's potentially dangerous. It's a problem, very clearly. I would also...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    That’s great, I’ve seen the manual, but why does that excuse the problem? Other manufacturers have no problem with two lane roads. Why can’t Tesla do it?

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    Yeah, this is my biggest disappointment (maybe my only disappointment) with the car. Pretty embarrassing that the supposed leader in FSD can't even get adaptive cruise to work without repeated phantom braking. My Jeeps have NEVER done this in over 140,000 combined miles. My MYP does it...

    Studded Tires + blocked Cameras

    I have Hakka studded snows - the SUV version (no foam). Yep, they're loud, but man nothing beats them on ice or hard packed snow. They're excellent tires in all winter conditions. I'll happily deal with the noise if it prevents even one tiny fender bender. I've had Hakka 8's on our Jeep...

    Bad Service Teslashields

    I just received a call from TeslaShields. They are having unexpected issues getting the mats shipped out, but I do believe that they have stock and are trying to get them shipped as soon as they can. They have taken care of me while we wait, and their solution is MORE than fair. I'm very...

    Bad Service Teslashields

    I'm getting annoyed by the lack of customer service too. You should be contacting us to let us know what's going on, not asking us to call you. I keep hearing promises of "next week" but "next week" never comes. These clearly have not shipped, and I see no evidence to suggest they ever will.

    Tesla OEM Model Y Cargo Cover

    I have more cargo covers than I have cars. They all end up in my garage. Anyone want a cargo cover for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee? How about a 2008 Toyota Prius? How about a 2014 Jeep Cherokee? Anything else? Just ask, I probably have it. 😇 They've always been a waste of money as far...

    New Tow Hitch Cover! The Best Yet!

    I’ve been looking for a good, easily removed tow hitch cover since I got my MYP in June. I hunt, and during deer season I’m constantly connecting and removing my carrier from the receiver. I don’t want to leave the Tesla hitch cover off, as I think it ruins the look. Putting it on and taking...

    Help: Camera blinded or blocked

    This happens at night when driving in an area with no houses or lights. It's dark, the camera can't see, thinks it's blocked. That's my theory anyway.

    Tire selection for 18" wheels for max grip in a strait line and / or on the curves?

    Has anyone tried Vredestein Quatrac Pro’s on 18“ rims at the drag strip? They’re about as light as it gets at 26lbs each in 235/55/18. If they give enough grip for a good 60’ time, they might give killer 1/4 mile times.
