I discovered my 23 MYLR roof is cracked. Three questions: Is there any safety risk if I continue driving this for a while (see below)? Any chance this is covered under Tesla's warranty or should I just move ahead with an insurance claim with AAA? Is it important/essential to get this repaired by...

Pretty sure the superchargers won’t work in the apocalypse.

And, why not cover CA??? There are a few Teslas here if you haven’t noticed.

First question was state. Not offered in California. Couldn’t you have told me that right away rather than making me answer all the other questions???

(Caveat: This is not entirely off topic, but certainly tangential.) This guy seems to be quite enthusiastic about V12 and beyond: https://www.torquenews.com/14335/california-gold-rush-coming-used-tesla-vehicles-even-2018-model-3-going-become-extremely

I'll reboot and recalibrate. Thanks for the suggestion. I've been on teslamotorsclub since shortly after getting the car a year ago. After getting the free trial and giving it a try, I went looking for a thread on the latest FSD and landed here. It's a busy thread right now! I don't expect I'll...

2023 MYLR. I don't know what it was on before. I know it updated just a week or so ago.

Speaking of potholes, I forgot to mention that it ran over the end of a good-sized stick on the left side of my lane. It was maybe 2-3 inches in diameter--not small! It went flying when left front tire hit it. I thought it was going to just barely miss it so I didn't intervene but I should have...

I just tried out the latest free-trial version, for entertainment value more than anything else. If this is too long to read, the summary is: drove 3 small routes totaling maybe 10 or 15 miles, with roughly half a dozen "oops" moments including at least 2 times it deactivated itself for reasons...

My one year old MYLR updated to 2024.3.6 last night. This morning I got an email saying my FSD free trial starts now. Too bad I’ll be out of town and away from the car for half of the 30 days. Also I’ll be driving coast to coast in early May but it stops 4/30.

Thanks for all this information.

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere but I haven't stumbled upon it. Can a US buyer get a Tesla with LFP battery now, either a model 3 or model Y? Thanks.

The Refer and Earn portion of my app is telling me that Model Y prices will increase March 1st. Is there any more information about this available? I don't suppose this is a refresh comparable to the Model 3 highlander? If not it seems like a weird time to be increasing prices, but what do I...

Plug kit that I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZNNWNN5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Inflator that I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0823K1FY1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I make no claims these are the best, or even better than...

I got a flat tire on interstate 80 out in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. Pressure dropped from 42 to 10 in about 2 minutes. Luckily the leak was easy to find. I fixed it in about 20 minutes with a $20 tire repair kit and a $35 inflator from Amazon. I’m really glad I bought them when I bought...

MYLR 2023.6.11

I park my MYLR at 90 degrees to my Tacoma sometimes. I suppose you could say it's just being overly conservative, but to put the car where I want it I have to endure an lot of warning noises!

Thanks! We're on Kezar Lake which rose several feet after heavy rains. Lots of road damage and some flooded houses and camps. It came within a few feet of our house but it had started to recede by the time we got here. It's nearly back to normal for this season after having dropped 3ft or more...

I drove from California to Maine earlier this month in a MYLR, just me and the dog. I don’t know exactly how many miles, how many hours, how many Kwh, how many times I stopped to charge, how much time I spent charging, how much it all cost, or how much carbon I saved. I just know that I got here...

Similar issues here with the Goodyear Eagle F1. Slow leak due to screw. Plugged and patched by small chain tire shop but it continued to leak slowly. Repatched by a different local tire shop but when that didn’t work he “jammed a better plug in there” and that seems to be holding. He also took...

For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this in the iPhone app. Under "Location" I assume? When I hit the little "Directions" arrow in the corner it just takes me to Apple Maps.

Thanks for the reply. At first I didn't understand this sentence, but then I figured it out. For the benefit of other simpletons like me: volts x amps = watts, 1000 watts = 1 kilowatt (kW) 400 volts (approximate value for Tesla model 3 or Y) x 500 amps (approximate CCS limit) = 200,000 watts =...

CCS adapters I’m finding online are limited to 150<whatever these units are>. Are there adapters that permit even faster charging? 350 is mentioned above. Can my car even support that? Maybe I should be asking: what’s a good source for newbies to read about EV charging on the road? Thanks for...

In a couple weeks I'll be taking a roughly 3200 mile trip in my Model Y LR, driving from Santa Cruz, CA to Lovell, ME. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or advice for me. More details: The car will be packed pretty full including me and a dog, and we'll do it in 7 days of driving. Five days...

I took mine in for service. They tried swapping the "connectivity board" but that didn't fix it so they replaced the entire computer. It's been working fine since the repair about 2 weeks ago.

This Tesla app is driving me nuts. It's like they hired good graphic designers but crappy UI/software engineers. Today's dilemma: trying to set my home charging rates. If I let it look up the rate plan (PG&E EV2-A) it gets the schedule right (season, hours) but the per kwh charges wrong. If I...

This thread scares me. We're in Maine 6 months/year, outside parking in a rural area. Squirrels and mice abound.

Rotate tires regularly.

My problem is not caused by traveling to an area without coverage. It happens here at home and all over town, comes and goes. Tesla has verified my failed connectivity by remote diagnostics and I have an appointment with the service center on Tuesday. They said (without me asking) they have the...

There are aftermarket 19" rims out there that look very much like the Inductions or the Uberturbines (tsportline, replika r241). You can get them in 8.5" width too, which will still fit the same OEM 19" tires (Continentals) but the tire sidewalls will (I'm told) protect the narrower rims to a...

That's consistent with what I was told when I inquired about a similar situation. We were thinking of buying a (non-Tesla) car in Maine where we have a vacation home and then re-registering a few months later in California. I was concerned about double-taxation, but we were told by CA DMV that...

Still don't know how to get to that. Is it an owner-accessible mode/screen?

I'm having this problem but have not left my home country (USA). I wonder if you could tell me how you made that screen shot? I'd like to be able to access that same information about my car. I've made a mobile service appointment after many attempts to reboot/restart/etc. Thanks for any info...

OK, I did the longer Power Off complete with clunk sound from high voltage battery disconnect/reconnect and it did not fix the problem. Still no LTE connectivity. Sigh...

I have done the Power Off thing from the menu but I didn't leave it alone for any length of time, and Sentry Mode might still have been active, so I'll try doing that more completely and leaving it alone for a while. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just realized I should test basic navigation since that is supposed to work even without premium connectivity, so if it's not working then truly the car has no connectivity at all. Attached screen shot is what I find when trying to navigate. However, some navigation did seem to work... sorta...

Thanks for asking. Both premium and standard connectivity depend on LTE service. Some premium things work on wifi, but not everything. Standard connectivity features should always work. I was using the Apple Music app on the car, and I watched Netflix briefly, both while not connected to wifi...

Brand new model Y just a few days old. Has lost LTE connectivity. First lost it while car was parked at home. Doesn’t seem to matter where I go. I don’t think this is a dead zone situation. I can’t seem to get it back. I’ve tried rebooting the touchscreen both with and without the brake pedal...

Did you get the 9.5" width or 8.5" width? Looks like 9.5 to me (same as stock Gemini I believe). I'm paranoid about curb rash and thinking about getting these in 8.5" width with the same tires.

Any interest in 20” induction set? I’m picking up Saturday 3/4.

Same offer here but I’m in Santa Cruz / Bay Area, CA. I get my car on Saturday.

I hope this doesn't count as thread hijacking, but did you make your final payment before arriving at your delivery location and doing your inspection? I'm scheduled to pick my MY up on Saturday and I'm a little nervous about making the payment sight unseen. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Actual experience is priceless! Actually, since my original post I've found that existing inventory cars in NJ can be registered in ME (among other states), but knowing it can be handled in NY too is useful to me.

(Note: I couldn't find an appropriate forum for this, so I chose the Tesla Inc forum as the best I could come up with.) When you see a car in Tesla inventory in another state, it invariably says "This car can only be registered in <a list of nearby states>". Why is that? Is this a restriction...

Thanks for the reply, but the cars listed in inventory in OH say "This car can only be registered in IN, KY, MI, OH, WV," so it's clear up front that a car acquired in Ohio can be registered in Kentucky. In contrast, I haven't found any delivery state that includes Maine (ME) among the states...

Is it possible to buy from existing inventory and register in Maine? Many (all?) vehicles in the inventory site say "...can only be registered in <one, or a few nearby states>".

Similar situation. Ordered in the wee hours of this morning 1/13, got assigned a delivery at 4pm 1/15 which is this Sunday. I think the only account I can use for final payment is my checking but with the weekend I won't have the funds into that account until 1/17. (I couldn't double check the...

Thanks for the reply. I guess I’ll find out the truth soon enough because last night’s price cuts pushed us right off the fence—we pulled the trigger and ordered a Model Y LR from local inventory. It also didn’t hurt that my demo ride yesterday was super fun, and our Model 3 owning neighbors...

Newbie here. We're nearly ready to pull the trigger on a Model Y long range. We live 6 months each year in Maine and 6 months in California, so we cross the country 2x/year (6000 miles/year), using superchargers of course. The rest of the time, probably another 10k miles/year, would be primarily...
