I'll chime in here as a 5 month owner of a MY RWD. Overall very happy with the purchase and haven't noticed any build issues at all so far. However, my windshield has already needed replacement due to a crack caused by a rock chip. And shortly thereafter I picked up another chip, but luckily it...

It makes no sense to me either that Tesla would limit the charging below advertised, which is why I bring it up. I also agree that Branden is a credible source, but there could be some factor out of his control. I was incorrect in there being only one data point. In the "2024 US model Y rwd...

Isn't it a bit premature to say the 2024 cannot charge at 170kW? As far as I know there is only one data point so that doesn't seem very definitive to me. Also, there are a number of factors why a car can't hit the max speed at a given time or situation. There are times I've seen my 2023 charge...

I don't see myself paying to unlock the capacity as it would be rare for me to ever want to charge past the approximate 90% available in the 2023. Maybe it's a little more enticing for the 2024 cars that have more of the capacity locked.

I was never in doubt they were there as I saw them turned on during the light show. However, this confirms there is a way one can actually use them as desired. Not sure if it's worth getting the S3XY stuff just for the fog lights, but it does a lot of other useful stuff and provides a physical...

I finally received my S3XY controller and knob and was able to turn on the 2023 MY RWD fog lights with that product. The knob doesn't support controlling the fog lights yet, but I was able to use the app to get the controller to toggle the fog lights. I believe the buttons do support the fog...

I don't know if you have been keeping up with the discussion on the RWD, but it is essentially the exact same car as the AWD minus the front motor. In 2023, it even had the same premium audio and the battery is the "LR" battery, but it is software capped so when you charge it to 100% it is...

When I acquired my used Wall Connector, I was able to connect with the label on the back. It has both the information you need to manually connect, as well as a QR code you can just scan to automatically do so. Then you point your browser at 192.168.92.1 to access the admin page

I guess Tesla actually got around to downgrading the max charging speed for 2024. It probably won't make much difference in overall charging time though, as the 250kW charging enabled pack doesn't stay above 160kW for very long.

Only if those extras have value to the buyer, $3k isn't nothing. The 23 MY RWD was right for what I wanted. Didn't care about faster acceleration and the day to day range is pretty much equivalent to the LR assuming one sticks with the 80% charge recommendation (the RWD can access the same kWh...

Also, torque sticks are meant for use with air impact wrenches. Battery powered ones impact at a faster rate, they will tighten higher than specified. For tightening lug nuts, I think a $20 Harbor Freight torque wrench is fine. As long as each nut is tightened to a consistent torque, getting...

It appears the ETL listing is legit, here is a reddit post with someone's research on this unit: However, the UL part seems to be more of a confirmation through ETL that it meets UL standards rather being tested directly by UL itself.

From this curve, it seems to me that the 2024 is using the 82kWh Panasonic pack limited down to about 80% as that's where you would still see a 50kW charging rate. This would also line up with the 2024 EPA testing for the 2024 RWD that lists the battery capacity at 66.5kWh which would be about...

For the price I'm going to give it a shot. The listing and a review indicate the unit and cord are UL and ETL listed so it should at least meet some minimum safety standards. I'm not sure these wall adapters are anything more than remote power switches that communicate with the car. The AC...

Please report the charge rates you are getting at higher rates of charge (more than 90%) at a supercharger. If you get similar rates to the one in my first post, that will indicate a software limited battery. If you are getting slow rates as you reach 100% that would indicate full use of a...
