    Very Dim Backup/Reverse Lights?

    If it's bright enough to assist when backing up it's too bright to be constantly on. If you could tie it into the reverse lights sure but please don't use this.

    MYP Range 273??

    This does not affect your charging range. The range displayed here is "rated" not "estimated".

    Model y- super charge authentication

    Such simple features? How would you go about doing this? Some considerations off the top of my head. 1. Where do you store the payment instrument? 2. How do you mark a charging session as completed by someone else? 3. How would you go about contesting incorrectly assigned charges? 4. Who...

    Jeda Hub for Model Y

    Most credit card processing merchants require that someone not capture payment until the product is on the truck. They could likely get in trouble for this.

    Accessing Public Wifi for Software Update

    What you're referring to is called a captive portal. The way public WiFi forces you to see this page is by DNS-hijacking and redirecting you when you try to access another site. So you have 2 options. 1. Try going to a site that's not cached in the in-car browser and you should get redirected...

    MY Battery Barely Warming Up

    This happened with my X and with my 3, this isn't new. The manual states running climate 30-45 minutes before you leave will help with this.

    MY Battery Barely Warming Up

    Brakes did their job and saved me from crashing. Stability control leverages brakes and ABS slowed the vehicle down safely after I regained control. My point was regen anti-locking (RAL? lol) isn't as good as ABS.

    MY Battery Barely Warming Up

    I was driving around Banff this past February in 0F with ice on the highway. Was coming up to the toll booths to buy the Banff parks pass and let off the accelerator, back end locked up and the car started to lose control had to counter steer a few times. I still have the footage from the dash...

    Does it do this via navigation? Guess that would make it a good habit to always set your destination.

    MY Battery Barely Warming Up

    For what it's worth it's not very good. I had it lock up my rear wheels when driving on ice and almost lost control of the vehicle.

    MY Battery Barely Warming Up

    Brakes and regen braking apply the same physics to the ground, counter torque in the direction of travel. Brakes have ABS, they can detect when traction is being lost and modulate the force to maximize static friction. Regen has no such logic and will just lock up the wheels. I've had this...

    Understanding Range

    The car does not adjust your range based on how you drive. There is an "estimated range" but this isn't surfaced anywhere and is just based on your last driving session. You're likely seeing a combination of BMS imbalance and degredation.

    Ring Car Connect

    It can't use the car's connectivity.

    Ring Car Connect

    How is it redundant? You can use WiFi for local connectivity if you're out of service of LTE or to upload higher quality video.

    For Those Who Went From Model 3 to Model Y

    So glad I made the swap. 1. Efficiency. The Y LR is more efficient than my P3D+. 2. Comfort. I'm tall (6'2") and the Y gives me more room to be comfortable. 3. Functional. The hatch is great for car camping (I do once every two months) and having extra room. Tow hitch. 4. Looks. Honestly...

    Experiences going from a 3 to a Y? Considering trading my 3

    Traded in my P3D+ for a Y. So glad I did. The 3 was nice but the Y is just a better overall car and coming from the P3D+, is more efficient.

    kWh and Wh/Mi Data from Third Party Apps vs Vehicle

    The data coming back via the API these apps are using doesn't include wH/mi they are having to extrapolate given other pieces of information. The 100% accurate data is going to be available only in-car right now. Right now the API includes Odometer (distance) Range (mi/km/%) Power (at that...

    AWD Non-Performance White Interior Waiting Room

    Ordered in February. No communication for a while then a text in early June asking if I wanted to take delivery in June. I said yes. Nothing. Then on the final day of the quarter I emailed them asking what's going on and they had 2 vehicles matching my spec. Took delivery a few hours later...

    Anyone switch from a M3 to a MY?

    Even at Lake Chelan State Park my P3D+ bottomed out when leaving the main loop... so glad I got the Y instead.

    Anyone switch from a M3 to a MY?

    I went from a MX 100D to P3D+ to MY LR. The P3D+ is a great car. However, my primary use is long road trips. I live in the major Seattle area and took my 3 to Banff, Denver, Vegas, LA, SF. While the 3 itself is a great car the P3D+ is not as efficient as the LR version. At the time I...

    VIN posted this afternoon. Potential rejected vehicle?

    Should? Yes. But some customers aren't as picky as others. Unless it's a functional issue it might be worth just trying to give it to someone else. Not saying I agree but I understand it.

    Cabin noise in model Y

    Going from P3D+ (20" wheels) to LR Y with 19" I find the Y MUCH quieter.

    VIN posted this afternoon. Potential rejected vehicle?

    Reach out to your local showroom. I was waiting months with no progress. Then once I emailed them they had 2 VINs matching my config.

    For sale: Model X 22" Referral wheels + tires, never mounted

    Hah, not Canadian. I'm a jaded Amazon Software Engineer who deals with frustrating people on a daily basis. There's no point in being offended when someone is trying to help you. I flat out did 0 research and got lots of helpful comments about my ridiculous offer. Why be mad? Y'all were...

    For sale: Model X 22" Referral wheels + tires, never mounted

    I don't see how that's blasting me. Just informing me, which I'm okay with. I honestly spent no time looking at how much they go for other than what Tesla charges for them. Asking for one price and selling for another are a thing. I'd be open other offers. Thanks for all of the info everyone.

    For sale: Model X 22" Referral wheels + tires, never mounted

    Have a set of never-mounted black Model X 22" wheels+tires. Had a Model X 100D but traded it in for my P3D+ and I don't want to go full on donk with these wheels. Prefer local pickup in Seattle metro area but will ship at cost of shipping. Asking $6,500 exclusive of shipping.

    The $54,000 Paperweight (Registration problems)

    Same thing is happening to me with no end in sight. Took delivery 10/27/2018, temp tags expired 12/10/2018. I cannot get new temp tags printed due to WA dealership laws. So now I'm driving around a Model 3 with temp tags expired by over a month ago. I started an executive escalation and they...

    Sound in Reverse?

    This isn't a as much of a symptom of your brakes being new as it is a symptom of a car with regenerative braking. This is worsened when it's wet out. If you drive around barely using the brakes (especially if wet) then put it in park it clamps down the normal driving brakes to the rotors with...

    Just dropped off my month-old 100D for a surprisingly open-ended service appointment

    Take detailed pictures/video. I now have a folder of my photos/videos of all of the issues I have. Unfortunately it currently has 80 total combined photos/videos. Keep very detailed records.

    Model S expensive repair making me feel like I'm losing the faith...

    Tesla has replaced my 6 month old X's charge port 4 times. New front windshield. New driver's seat. New B pillar camera. New visors. New back glass. Yeah, I don't think age has anything to do with it.

    Data usage on the “About Your Tesla” screen

    Something you can see via man in the middle or root access?

    Data usage on the “About Your Tesla” screen

    None of these tricks actually work, your car has to be flagged for the update. There's a good chance it's just downloading a bunch of release note information. The download happens in one big chunk. 10.4 was around 500Mb for me.

    Supercharger - Issaquah, WA (LIVE Oct 2018, 8 Urban stalls)

    There is a gap geographically for sure. I was recently in Goldendale, WA and the 5 stall Ellensburg supercharger can definitely use some love.
