    Thinking about a used 2022 Model Y, a few questions

    Not all ‘22 model Y’s have the Ryzen processor or the lithium 16v battery. My first Tesla was an early model 22 Y and it shipped with neither. Those features were rolled out during the model year, so you’ll need to check the cars to confirm they have them.

    Anyone use the OEM front license plate holder?

    Mine fell off my Model Y 6 months after I purchased it. It was a hot summer day and it was hanging when I came out to my driveway. It was installed in winter though, so maybe adhesion wasn’t as good as it could have been if it were above 15 degrees.

    Buffeting/Booming issue survey

    I had a 2022 MYLR. Never experienced any booming noises when I hit bumps while driving (did hear them while parked, which I attributed to the heat pump). Sold the car with 22,000 miles on it. Got a new 2023 in December of 2022. The booming noises from the first day I picked it up were...

    Cold Feet: Reassurance or Reality - Tesla MYLR as a Road Warrior Vehicle?

    I’m outside sales, so I end up stopping at a few offices. Typically 210 miles round trip. Wednesday was 250. I preemptively charged because I had time between appointments and I got 10000 miles of free charging that I’m struggling to use. I may have been fine without it. But it’s summer. I...

    Cold Feet: Reassurance or Reality - Tesla MYLR as a Road Warrior Vehicle?

    I’ll also add, we have a cabin in Danbury (NW Wisconsin). It’s a 375 mile drive door to door. In the dead of winter it’s a 3 supercharger trip - start at 100% at cabin and preheat (which at -30F will drop you to 95% plugged in to a 50 A charger) we’re at 20% driving the speed limit wheel we get...

    Cold Feet: Reassurance or Reality - Tesla MYLR as a Road Warrior Vehicle?

    I live a bit north of Milwaukee (North Shore area in Milwaukee county) and make twice weekly trips to Madison and or Middleton area. In the dead of winter you will need to use a super charger for that trip for 10-15 minutes if you’re preconditioned. I drive between 2000 - 3000 miles per month...

    Quick financing question...

    Just make sure to unlock your credit first if you locked it for any reason. My wife and I both had ours locked (and forgot) and multiple Tesla banks declined us with no explanation (which shocked me, because our credit scores are north of 800). Finally US Bank called and told us to unlock our...

    A mouse ate my Tesla

    We’ve got neighbors at our family cabin in N. WI that are full time residents or seasonal residents. One has a model y, the other has a 4 runner. Both have had issues with mice eating their wiring - their cars are exclusively parked outside. The 4 runner owner runs a coil of galvanized sheet...

    Modely Y LR7 vs Performance and general "Is this is a good idea?" Help :-)

    Welcome to Wisconsin! What part of the state are you in? I live north of Milwaukee and am on my second model Y. I drive about 2000 miles per month, mainly to Madison and back for work. I have not had issues with the snow, but I don’t use the stock 19” tires. The performance comes with Michelin...

    Model 3 - 95k miles , 4 years , switch to Model Y?

    Not from me. I just had 2 people in my car yesterday that would press the door button and wait for it to open. They also couldn’t get them to shut on most occasions. They seemed to think the doors would auto close/open.

    Tesla almost left me stranded - again.

    Where’s your cabin? Ours is in Danbury, and you are correct, it is a charging desert. I haven’t been stranded, but I have been VERY concerned on a drive that started at -30F on New Year’s Day in 2022.

    Do tires last longer on 19" wheels than on 20" wheels?

    Tire cost is “lower” on the 19” wheels (I know - technically falls under the “cost” part of your post). I’ve only had 19” wheels on my Y’s - so I can’t give a first hand account comparing the two. Reports are that the 19’s have a more compliant ride. There are also some reports of the larger...

    Anyone here order during Tesla's deal and actually received by 12/31/22?

    I think you’re dead on the money. I’d ordered on 2/22/2022. I declined 2 deliveries and my reservation was scheduled to be canceled. The incentive was published in the Wall St Journal. I texted Tesla asking if they’d take my order of hold. Within an hour I received a message saying I was off...

    When can I start using the free 10,000 supercharger miles?

    The Tesla employee who helped me when I picked up my Y on 12/27 first told me they’d be there immediately, then told me January 6th. They also told me that Monroney stickers are only for used cars and that they never come with Teslas - so take their advice with caution (I received one with my...

    Premium Connectivity

    Depends on when they reserved the car. I reserved my last one in July of 21, but took delivery in December and I got a free year of connectivity. If they found a way to delay delivery it could have come with a free year of connectivity subscription. Tesla used to allow you to put your order on...

    tesla trade-in values decreasing :( Nov/Dec 2022

    How did you get your title so quickly? I purchased a Model Y LR on Tuesday for $52960 + tax, but won’t have my title for 30-90 days. I then take the paperwork to the DMV and pay my sales tax. I’d consider selling mine as well for that kind of increase.

    Is now the worst time to accept delivery of a Model Y?

    You may be right, but my guess is that they’ll end a bit higher. I ordered a 2nd Y in February to replace my first Y which I received in December of 22. I was locked in at $58K. I declined the first two delivery attempts in November/December. My car was showing “cancellation pending” as I...

    How far will current selling prices fall after Jan. 1 ?

    Try more like 6-9 weeks. I sold my 2022 MYLR white/black 5 seater to Carmax in late September for $58K. A couple weeks ago I typed in the same vin to Carvana and they offered me $41K. Carmax just took my car off their website (not sure if it sold, is being moved, or went to auction). Price...

    Tesla required me to acknowledge no USS

    Let us know how it goes. I refused to acknowledge the USS delete. My order was placed on hold today when I did not schedule delivery - with a threat of cancellation. Not a big deal, I think I’m done with Tesla for now anyway. I enjoyed the last one for 21k miles, but it no longer makes...

    Nema 14-30 to 14-50 adapter

    You can also often pick them up at a Tesla showroom if you don’t have time to wait for shipping. I did this when we were going to go on a camping trip - unfortunately the 30 amp plug at campground is not the NEMA 6-30 or 14-30 (learned the hard way).

    Snow tires for 2022 Model Y

    Yes. I had perelli sotozero seri p2 on a Mercedes awd. I used to live in Vermont, where they don’t use salt or sand, and don’t plow the roads to the pavement a lot of the time. I had better control with a true snow tire. I’d rather give up some handling for deep snow traction.

    Snow tires for 2022 Model Y

    I purchased Continental Viking Contact 7’s last winter and I was very happy with them. I’m not sure I’d run performance winter tires in the mountains if I expected to encounter a lot of snow. I still think our outback has better awd, but the Tesla was serviceable with the Continental’s.

    Bottom dropping out of used market?

    I’d happily pay you that for your MYP! That offer is crazy. I’d even throw in an extra thousand or two… I’m sure I could get more selling privately, but I don’t want to deal with the parade of lookers and people who just want to experience the novelty of driving a Tesla.

    Bottom dropping out of used market?

    That is my plan. Offer is good until Friday. Taking it in tomorrow to sell. We’ll be a single car household for a while. I have a replacement model Y on order, but I’m not sure I’ll end up taking delivery or if I’ll go a different direction for the next car.

    Bottom dropping out of used market?

    I just got an offer from Carmax on my 2022 Model Y Long Range. It has 22,500 miles and they’ll give me $58K. I’m jumping on that. It’s basically exactly what I paid after taxes and fees in December. I think that’s amazing for 22,500 miles of driving. I expect the market to get super screwed...

    Regrets [Anyone regret trading in their ICE for their Tesla?]

    I’d say my only misgivings are cold weather range and the lack of fast charging in certain areas. I know someone said “99% of charging should be at home” or something to that effect, but it’s only around 2/3 of my charging. I do end up driving our gas car for some trips because I don’t have time...

    Radar getting turned off on Model 3/Y with 2022.20.9

    I’m not sure it’s only “at night”. I was on a state highway in northern WI today at 8:30am (state highway 70 in Burnett County). They apparently either chip sealed with large aggregate or the top coat of asphalt had lots of voids. My 2022 vision only car kept slowing from 60 to 35 (55mph speed...

    Vredestein Wintrac Pro on Gemini Wheels?

    I can’t speak to the Vtedestein - I considered them but decided not to buy them. I purchased the Continental Viking Contact for about the same price. I used to have the Michelin X-Ice 3’s on my previous Subaru Outback. I liked the Michelin mileage warranty - I drive a lot for work. I think the...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    I’ve tuned this thread out for a while since I got my CCS adapter more than a month ago. Today while making the 375 mile drive back from our cabin I started charging at a super charger, but people were getting backed up (I used up the last of my referral miles today). I decided to leave the...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    Thanks for posting. I ordered on 4/21 and got a receipt, but didn’t see anything under my order history. I was a little concerned. Now that I’ve logged into the Korean website I do see my order is showing “complete” (using Google translate), but I cannot track the order.

    Agreed about turning off sentry mode and overheat protection as well as not checking the app frequently. I just got back from a 7 day trip, car parked at an off site lot at ORD.

    Preconditioning for fast charging, worth it?

    I don’t believe they are, similarly transformers typically aren’t affected by normal ambient operating temperatures. Once you hit 50 C you may see some efficiency losses, but generally transformers are probably more efficient at lower temperatures until somewhere close to -40c/f, then...

    Does Tesla Service Center offer curb rash fixes?

    That’s a dumb response from Tesla. It’s curious they call out Magnaflux. It’s not actually expensive - basically every weld that’s ever been inspected beyond a visual inspection has been Magnafluxed. It’s a pretty standard thing in the welding industry. You’ve got a cleaner, dye, and a...
