    New power/regen bar is IM-POS-SIB-LE to see

    Yes, a picture of what the new bar looks like is greatly appreciated. I can't for the life of me find it.

    First Road Trip in my 2022 Model S

    I don't recall the specific supercharger (northbount at bottom of grapevine on I5?), but tesla nav said we had reached the supercharger location in the back of an outlet mall, but the superchargers were nowhere to be found. Kept driving around the stores and finally found them way on the other...

    Is it me or does AS hug the wrong side of a turn?

    AS works fairly well on the freeway (best lane is the middle lane on a 3-lanes each way freeway so there's little merging into and out of the lane by others, etc.). But since I got the car in June, AS always moves to the outside of a turn, especially when the road turns right. It gets fairly...

    What's going on (or not going on) with battery conditioning?

    Thanks everyone. I'm anal (and cheap), I refuse to use blended braking and have any of my inertia turned into friction heat. I'll just have to anticipate the lower regen rates and slow down sooner until I get full regen. If I have to use friction brakes, I want to apply them myself so I know...

    What's going on (or not going on) with battery conditioning?

    Last week I needed to run a few errands. The car was not plugged in / didn’t need charging-was probably around 35%) and since I didn’t know until the last minute, there was no time for scheduled preconditioning. Ambient was around 50 degrees. I got the limited regen dots due to cold batteries...

    Model Y Tow Hitch Sensor Message

    If you don't have electric connections for your bike rack, don't turn trailer mode on because you are not pullinga trailer. I pull a boat and also have a bike rack (use both every werk). Trailer mode automatically goes on when I plug in the trailer. Does not (and should not) when the rack is...

    SF Bay Area - Wall Charger required?

    I had to run 50' of 6 gauge in a conduit to my detached garage because it only had 120v. Put in a nema 14-50 cuz I got the mobile charger with the car just before they discontinued including them. Due to the required location, had to get a $75 nema 14-50 extension cord. Worked okay. But the...

    Trailer mode automatically activated when connect lights, but doesn't automatically exit when I unplug

    I could have sworn it automatically turned trailer mode off in the past. My wife wouldn't have known how to turn it off. But maybe I just didn't it subconsciously. That reminds me, just got back from towing the boat. Heading back to the garage to turn towing off. 😉 Okay, just got in...

    How big is a 2022 MY battery?

    Anyone know how big a 2022 MYLR (Fremont, June VIN) is? 81Kw? I'm trying to understand how EPA got 330 miles on a full charge; if I know what the battery size is, I can determine what the wh/mi has to be to hit those numbers. If it's 81kw, then 81/330=245wh/mile. Sound right?

    Trailer mode automatically activated when connect lights, but doesn't automatically exit when I unplug

    I'm pretty sure in the past when I disconnected my trailer lights after towing, the car automatically exited Trailer Mode. It knows to automatically go into trailer mode when I plug the lights in, but now it doesn't exit when I unplug. If I'm not paying attention, I or my wife may drive for a...

    Towing with Tesla Model Y LR

    Nice. I tow a Ski Nautique 196 (19'6"); all told it is right around 3,500#. Best tow vehicle I've ever owned (although our MB GLK250 twin turbo diesel is really good from an economy standpoint). I tow about 12 miles each way, mainly flat on a freeway and an expressway. I think my average is...

    Model Y LR tows a teardrop trailer--about 200 miles of range in summer

    I only tow my 3500# ski boat short distances to the lake (about 12 miles mainly on a freeway and expressway. What I see is probably a 45% drop in range. That said, I have a MB GLK250 (diesel) SUV that is about the same size, weight (diesels are heavy), etc., and my fuel economy drops about 45%...

    Don't shoot the messenger since I have a MY, but a friend got hit by someone in a Tesla. Is there a way to demand camera and telemetry data?

    Thanks everyone. Good point on the driver simply claiming there is no video. My friend has 'uninsured motorist'; it really comes down to whether or not their insurance company will spend the time to go after this person; doesn't seem likely without her getting an attorney. As everyone knows...

    Don't shoot the messenger since I have a MY, but a friend got hit by someone in a Tesla. Is there a way to demand camera and telemetry data?

    Friend was T-boned by a Tesla driver (don't know what model); the Tesla driver was deemed at fault by cops (although they didn't give a citation), but Tesla driver said no insurance; supposedly a dispute with their insurance company. Our friend and everyone in her car had to go to the hospital...

    Getting charging alerts when charging is scheduled for a later time!

    Oh, regarding settings in the app and in the car, why wouldn't changing a setting in the app not change it on the screen in the car and visa versa? That seems bizarre. If I have scheduled charging on and decide I want to change it to scheduled departure and want to change it on my phone, I...

    Getting charging alerts when charging is scheduled for a later time!

    Thanks Jcanoe. So, how exactly do you turn off Scheduled Departure? In the 'Departure tab, it lists a departure time, and whether preconditioning is on or off, and on or off off-peak charging. I can't turn off the departure time; the only thing I can do is to turn off preconditioning (does...

    Getting charging alerts when charging is scheduled for a later time!

    I'm using the mobile connector plugged into a nema 14-50, 240v charging ar 32amps/hr. It generally will charge from around 20-80% in 6-7 hrs. So it starting to charge before my midnight starting time when ive got my departure time at 11am or later makes no sense. If it started at midnight, it...

    Is there anyway to force ONLY off-peak charging?

    Same here. It ignores my start time, even if it will only take 6 or 7 hrs and I am not leaving for 10hrs or more, it will start charging not long after I plug it in (10 minutes as well). I admit I've only noticed it when my SoC is <20%, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. But...

    Getting charging alerts when charging is scheduled for a later time!

    Folks, I have noticed that even though I have schedule charging set at midnight (when off peak starts in my area), the car will start charging sooner, but it seems that it only happens when the SoC is <20%. Maybe I didn't notice it in the past and it has started charging earlier than midnight...

    Accelerator clunk when in ‘hold’.

    Thank you @Big Earl !! I used our one week old MYLR to pull my 3,500# boat/trailer down to a nearby lake. I personally like HOLD mode and I've heard the slight noise when it goes into hold and goes out of hold. I didn't know if the mechanism was electric brakes or a ping/cog like they use in...

    Tow hitch bike rack for model y

    Folks, I also got the curt blue color lock and pin (thanks @240W). Works perfectly for my trailer receiver. A bonus is that it also works on my Thule receiver bike rack threaded bolt, so one lock for both applications. Sweet!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06VTJMBZZ

    Save mirror position for reverse

    I just checked my new MY (delivered a week ago), and it does not save tilted mirror settings. The left mirror goes WAY too far down when pulling a trailer. I have to back my boat trailer up a 300' narrow driveway and through a garage door that only has about 5-6" of clearance on each side...

    Model Y Trailer 7 Pin to 13 Pin Adapter

    It looks like the first picture @hairysteve posted answered my question. What connector is on the Y (I expect mine in a month and a half)? Want to make sure I have the correct adapters for my trailer when I get the car. Thanks for the pix!
