In the 15 months I've had a Model Y I never had this problem before at the location. When I left today I put a lightweight silver mylar car cover that I had laying around on the car and the car didn't update again. Hopefully the car cover acted like a faraday bag. I will get a better cover...

Update. False alarm. Got to the cabin and car was alive and well. The door opened with phone as a key. Charge was at 25%. I plugged it in to add some charge before leaving it at the cabin and departing to go back home with our Lightning. I have no idea why the car didn’t communicate with...

I left my 2023 Model Y at my remote cabin yesterday about 125 miles from home. When I got there it had 35% charge and locked it with the app shortly after leaving. Last night after arriving back home with the Tesla still at the cabin. I checked the APP and the charge was now down to 25% from...

We have 2 2023 Model Ys. Only differences are my wife’s is an Austin built with 19” Gemini wheels. Mine is a Freemont built with 20” wheels. I can’t find a way to match the seating positions on both cars. I’m the most comfortable in mine but I can’t get comfortable in my wife’s. It seems...

They are attracted to Heat and Exhaust fumes. So they like blacktop roads.

We have lots of experience with bugs here in Florida. I drive a 125 trip across Florida 3-4 times a month.. During “Love Bug” season twice a year it’s really bad. I rinse as soon as possible then use any car wash soap and let it sit for a while to loosen the bugs. Then I use an Aero Cosmetics...

Look at the window sticker for price BEFORE Destination and Delivery That is the number that determines if the vehicle qualifies or not. My 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning EV Extended Range Lariat truck had a bottom line "TOTAL MSRP $81,840" and "TOTAL VEHICLE & OPTIONS/OTHER 79,845.00" It qualified

I dread the first time I take my Lightning to a Tesla SC and get blasted by a Tesla owner Karen. Quoting the famous words of Rodney King: "People, I just want to say, can't we all get along? Can't we all get along?"

I’ve owned EVs since 2015. We currently own 2 2023 Model Ys and a Ford F150 Lightning EV. The only ICE vehicle we own is. Ford F-450 Dually diesel beast that is only used to tow our 5th wheel. If there was a Truck that could comfortably tow a 15,000 lb 5th week RV we would own it. The second...
