I know that many people complain that they don't get anywhere near the range that Tesla claims. 150 miles is the longest trip I've taken so far in my MYLR, and whenever I do a trip like this, I seem to get pretty close to the 310 mile estimated range - sometimes less, sometimes more, but never...

In the new Energy App that came out in 2022, the "Trip" tab is pretty much the old graph, plus some new statistics on energy consumption. I understand that the orange parts of the graph show where I'm using more energy than predicted, and green shows where I'm using less than predicted. But...

Posting this in case it helps anyone else. I use Amazon Echo / Alexa in my home and thought it would be useful to have in the car, so I bought the Echo Auto for my Model Y. One big disappointment is that it's not very convenient to use because you must have Tesla's audio source set to...

Since people tend to post more when there's something to complain about, I thought I'd post about my first experience with Tesla service, which was pretty good. I was having problems with my AC, and it would give me the error "VCFRONT_a447 Cabin climate control system requires service". I made...

I'm embarrassed to admit this stupid thing that I did, but I'll share it as a caution for new Tesla owners. I've had my MY for 2 months and it's been great so far. Absolutely love it, but I'm still getting used to it. Yesterday I came home, parked near by garage where I recharge, and then...

I'm a new Tesla owner and I've been frustrated with controlling how USB music plays. One of my main complaints is that when I switch audio sources and go back to USB, I have to search all over again for what I was listening to. For example I might be listening to an album by Wilco, but then...

Just out of curiosity, and this isn't necessarily a Tesla specific question: When using GPS Navigation, do you prefer to use satellite imagery, or not? I'm a new Tesla owner and have the premium connectivity trial. To me, satellite imagery on the navigation screen looks nice, but I find it...

I'm a new Tesla owner and a bit paranoid about rodent damage because of damage rodents did to my last ICE car. I removed the frunk and spayed a peppermint oil rodent repellent on just about everything that I could reach. There are a lot of nooks and crannies in that space that would make...

I have a Model Y on order, and I listed my current car as a trade-in when putting in my order with Tesla. Now I see that Carvana is offering me $11,800 for my current car - about $4,000 more than Tesla's offer. (I'm amazed at how much I can get for a 10 yr old car.) I've never sold a car...

I'm getting ready for a Model Y - maybe it will come in January. Meanwhile I need to get my home charging ready. I'll be charging near a detached garage about 70' from the house, and I've decided on the Tesla Wall Connector because I'll be charging outside of the garage (but under a roof)...

Quick introduction: I'm on the fence about getting a Model Y LR. I test drove one, and I've been reading a LOT about the car. In short, driving it sure was fun but I read some of the negatives and I wonder if it's really worth it. So... What pros outweigh the cons for you, and make you...

I'm considering getting a Model Y LR. I'd be charging it outdoors next to a garage that's about 60' from my house, maybe close to 100' or wiring from the house electric panel to where I would charge the EV. It's and old house & garage. The wiring up to and including the panel is new, but...
