My original post clearly says > I would like to get 70%VLT on front windshield and 35% VLT on the front 2 windows. Those are untinted.

With 35% tint, you can very clearly see the other drivers and everything outside. Others can see me too. Getting the tint for UV protection and heat rejection, not for hiding

Did Tesla ultimately cover it under warranty?

It's a different style of road tripping. Over the years, for long drives, I had "conditioned" my kids to stay in the car, (maybe even sleep) for 4 hr segments because my ICE car needed fuel every 4-5 hrs. That 4hrs non-stop driving followed by a 15 min break at gas stations was the quickest way...

Red light warning can also be optional. I agree with you that people need to pay attention, and most people do pay attention most of the time. However sh!t happens, maybe once every 10k-20k miles of driving, when even an otherwise attentive driver might run a stop sign. I've done it couple of...

Care to share the answer🤔

1) "Joe mode" is your friend for lowering the beep volume especially made to avoid waking up the kids. Turn it on. 2) I think you are confusing Autosteer with TACC... I drive on Autosteer (basic AP) and whenever I give a hard turn signal, the Autosteer disengages _(the 2blue lines marking my...

EVs are not low temperature cars. So you buying M3P for cold weather driving doesn't make sense.

What's the upside to a "normal" cruise control that you don't get in TACC? Or why wouldn't you use TACC as cruise control?

I am saying that the red light warning should be standard even when NOT using the basic AP / TACC Just like the 1-ding nudge when a light turns green is standard feature available even when not using AP Let auto stopping be a FSD feature, but warning on red light/stop sign is a lifesaving...

I did read the manual, but had doubts. Please read the full thread for context.

I've been trying out TACC and Autosteer whenever traffic is lighter. When I meant "too chicken to try", I meant too scared to intentionally run a red light or stop sign in order to check if AP warns me or not.

Me too, but lot of people say why use AP in city... I find Autosteer very nice for lane centering and maintaining distance in slow traffic. Only when I am approaching some stopped cars do I panick and disable auto steer

Has it ever worked for you? I am too chicken to try

There are red lights on most state highways. Autopilot recognizes them as highways (AP removes the +5mph hard limit that it has if you try Autosteer on city roads) and let's you go, say 9 miles over the speed limit if you so choose And that's besides the point, the point is that Tesla has the...

That would be unfortunate, I love the AP and a better solution is to make AP better by not braking harder than necessary. Sane people ease off the accelerator in anticipation of slowing/stopping, AP should too... AP had only 3 moves - it either (A) accelerates, or (B) maintains speed or (C)...

This is well known "phantom braking" however why/when it happens isn't that well known. I hover my foot above the accelerator pedal, ready to speed up in response to phantom braking. It feels natural to me, as when I drive my dumb non-adaptive cruise control ICE suv, my foot gently rests on the...

Even on highways, if I approach the tail end of a slow convoy after of me, I start slowing down from about 300 ft away, whereas AP/EAP brakes hard in the last 75-100 feet. That's just unsafe, and kind of invites getting rear-ended by the pickup behind you.

You got 30 day EAP free? I didn't !!! Where are you located? And you are correct, I use AP a lot, and am always worried about getting rear-ended. Whenever I am approaching stopped cars, I tend to turn off AP (up click of drive stalk, or tapping brakes) and manually gently back off from the...

That's the whole basis of my post - if it can ding and prompt you to "GO" on a green light, does it also warn you when you are about to run a red light or stop sign? Usually people are attentive, but for the rare bad day when someone is distracted, a loud 3 ding warning with maybe a steering...

Or compare with a PHEV, and for majority of people the pure EV range is enough for daily driving. The daily costs would be same as PHEV and highways would be comparable to supercharging costs But, and it's a big but, Teslas do have a bit more "aspirational value" then a RAV-4. "I dream of a...

LoL "Rude" is in your name! I asked only after reading the manual, which doesn't even mention FSD in this context, just says TACC or Autosteer (which is available with basic AP) 👇

Does Model Y (non-FSD, non-EAP), warn you when you are about to run a red light or stop sign? I think I have sometimes seen the urgent warning when approaching a stop sign at higher speed. The car must've thought I am about to run it, but it's not consistent. I don't have the guts to test this...

What does this mean? - Gas savings $2.50 per gallon if average 25 miles per gallon it's clear OP got 10 miles per 1$, Gas is about 4$/gallon and my old ICE SUV gave about 18-20 mpg on highways Same 1250 mi would have used around 65 gallons of gas, i.e $260, whereas OP paid only $125, so yeah...

If you do not have a "before" reading, would it be possible to check the untinted front windshield of a friend's Model Y with your meter?

Do you also have a "before" reading? I am interested in knowing sun rejection from front windshield without any tint.

Model Y LR (2023) climate control seems to get on frequently. I have cabin overheat protection set to off So why is there a periodic machine sound from car ?

Hi This is awesome... I am an old style driver, with eyes on road while driving. That big screen is awesome for keeping passengers entertained. Can you share a how-to video and the apps you created. FWIW, i can beta test it and report issues back to you... And it would be awesome to show...

White interior were heavily in demand, but talk to Tesla SA is changing to white+black will keep your place in the queue

Yeah LoL A lot of 1/15 OD got their VIN yesterday, you might get yours today. Definitely within the next few days, so no chance of missing the tax rebate

Tax rebate rules are murky, but the consensus seems to be that you won't lose the whole 7500, but just half 3750. Depending on number of cancellations, Tesla might again drop the price by 3750 like they did in Dec 2022. So everyone not getting the full rebate should cancel their order and then...

To each his own... I was planning for plug in hybrid as they seem to have sufficient range for my daily commute. However most PHEV mid size SUVs don't have enough power in battery-only mode, so I was lusting after Model Y for that instant torque. I had taken a test ride few months ago and...

I am taking delivery this Sunday and got the cashier's check from Bank of America on Friday However as the pickup is on Sunday, the credit union has already paid the financed amount to Tesla on Friday evening, but delivery can be be rejected if I withhold the cashier's check. 🤞Hope it doesn't...

They know all the std range ones will also get sold, especially when the 3750 of tax rebate is at risk after March. Most of them are with 20 inch wheels to give Tesla an extra 2k

VIN was assigned on Friday and they gave me delivery options for Sun/Mon/Tue 2/12-2/14 I had originally set payment to cash, and in parallel had applied for a loan via Star One CU at 4.7% It took about 4 days for getting the CU membership, after which the car loan approval took another couple...

OD 1/15 base White+ black 19 Gemini MYLR5. Bay Area EDD kept changing 2/6, 2/7, 2/8, 2/9, 2/10 Finally, today 11am I got the VIN, scheduling text within 15 min and got delivery slot for 2/12 Fremont pickup The VIN is Fremont, hope it still comes with matrix headlights 🥳

Yeah don't keep us up hoping for VINs, though I know in my gut that 1/15 OD is still some days away from VIN LoL... I also have some floor mats sitting unopened, bought from Amazon. Will have to return those if I can't get the car in next 10 days or so as I can't even confirm the fitment...

Hi, I am in CA Bay Area, and the lowest insurance quote I received are from Geico (130/mo) and Progressive (100/mo) for new MYLR + 8 yr old SUV. I would also like to compare Tesla insurance, but can't seem to get TESLA insurance quote before getting the VIN... Are there any prod and cons among...

So what is your decision? Taking it or rejecting it? If you reject it, I think there's still time to get another one before half the tax credit disappears...

White seats are a bit of a bottleneck I think.

OD 1/15 Base White + Black no upgrades. Bay Area location EDD keeps moving, now it is 2/10-2/19 No VIN Anyone for Fremont pickup with base White + Black 19 Gemini from OD=1/14 still waiting? Alternately, anyone for Fremont pickup with base White + Black 19 Gemini from OD=1/15 who received...

OD 1/4 or 1/14?

How's the video playback clarity? Any distortion from the Matte effect?

Which insurance did you have at the time?

What was your order number? I heard they can only make around 1500 cars per day, but I'm afraid just 1/13 and 1/14 had 30-50k orders Will easily be 2 more months before 1/20 OD folks see any VIN assignment

How's the video playback clarity for Netflix etc?

How's the video performance Netflix, YouTube etc? Any distortion due to matte effect?

How's the video performance? Any distortion due to matte effect?

How did you find the vehicle build date?

That's not fair 🤣 OD 1/15 for MYLR5 basic W/B/19, waiting for VIN What's your location?
