    Has anyone tried retrofitting glovebox USB in 2020 models?

    My 2020 MY only has the USB-C for the charging pad and USB-A for the sentry stick. I want to move the sentry stick behind the glovebox. I took off the cover to look at the MCU and it does have the USB (proprietary) plug on it. Has anyone tried buying the harness and plugging into it on these...

    Good thing in California your score cant be use for rates. Because while car is in service driving counts too, and my score got destroyed!

    First of, I am rather surprised it would count driving while car is put into service mode by Tesla. Had I known this I would have toggled the score to OFF. Had car in the Service Center today, they did some work that needed a test drive. They drove ~20 miles and got my score from ~98 (due to...

    For anyone curious, here is how much read/writes my Model Y put on my SSD

    Everyone's use will be different depending on how much they drive and how often sentry is on. I have sentry off at home and at work (garage parking in both cases). But other than that its always on while driving and parked anywhere else. You can kind of extrapolate from "on hours" between the...

    UI_a112 - USB device malfunction - I/O Error

    Have seen a few posts from years back about this error, nothing recent. Ive been using the same SSD on my Model Y for 2 years now, when I check it in PC it works fine, tried different USB drive, car doesnt recognize it at all. My setup is 100% OEM. The OEM wireless charging pad still provides...

    Enjoyed Model Y 3 years now, going to be out of warranty soon, and issues are starting to happen left and right. How is everyone else's experience?

    Car is amazing to drive, but it cant go 3 months without needing to go into Tesla shop. Im a bit scared about how Im going to handle all this when its out of warranty. Ill skip the first few years during which Tesla service center spent time fixing various issues with cameras, wiper hoses, 12V...

    What do ya'll do with washer fluid when traveling to a sub freezing area for a trip?

    In California its impossible to get anything that wont freeze below 32F. Im going to an area for a roadtrip for a few days where daytime will be around 30F and night time aroud 17F. Not sure what to do about the washer fluid. Just drain it? Or are Teslas modern enough to where the reservouir...

    Anyone else having issue with rear quarter glass exploding?

    Have had my Y for 3.5 years, all of sudden while driving today driver side back quarter glass exploded, looks like no impacts or anything. In fact from outside you couldn’t even tell it was damaged at all until I opened the door and it started falling apart (from inside you could see it was...

    Almost 4 Years in, should any maintenance be done?

    I tested break fluid, it passed, I check tire tread depth every few months, its also fine. I have 20k miles over nearly 4 years on Model Y LR. Roads arent salted here (Southern California). I replaced the cabin filters at 2 years and will do again once 4 years hits... I replaced the 12V battery...

    ICE vs Supercharger comparison table

    Not sure if a tool like this exists elsewhere. I didnt do too much searching. I made this for personal use, but posting here in case it helps others. My situation. I have a Model Y and a PHEV. I can get 40Mpg on PHEV. I wanted to see at what Supercharger rates it would be more efficient to take...

    Those of you that use SSDs for sentry mode. Does it get extremely hot?

    Ive been using a 2.5inch WD Passport drive (platter drive) for a while and it had no issues. Didnt heat up too crazy (just got warm). I decided to switch to an SSD, and oh my gosh. Even just driving around with 'dashcam' mode on it gets really warm. When car is parked under the sun with sentry...

    What goes into the trip kwh usage calculation?

    Just did a 600 mile trip in LR MY. Trip computer states the following: 603 miles | 183 kWh | 302 Wh/mi I left the trip at 100% charge (74Kw in the pack). I supercharged during the trip for total of 125Kw. I arrived back with 7% battery. This means that I have put in total of 199Kw. Taking out...

    Quick summary for those that dont know about the rear door damage caused by the front wheel kickback. Everything that your front wheels drive over have this kind of trajectory: This means little tiny rocks are damaging your paint: A really bad example (from a post here on TMC), all the...

    Has anyone successfully retrofit laminated side glass to Model Y?

    I watched this video of the comparison. And the glass looks the same shape as far as anchor points. Its just on the new one because they used metal they didnt have to use as much glass at the bottom. But as far as attachment points where the motor is attached, from this video it looks the same...

    Has anyone replaced door windows? How much did it run you?

    Something got stuck in the window seal, scratched the window as it rolled down (front passenger). Contacted a few glass shops around everyone refusing to try and buff out scratch out of tempered glass. Said I need to replace the glass. So curious how much that would run me? I have the 2020...

    Thoughts on carrying a tire patch kit instead of

    So I know that using slime stuff is bad idea due to the sensors in the wheel. Even the Fix-A-Flat sold by Tesla says that TPMS has to be replaced if used. And I dont want to buy a spare to carry around. I think a small patch kit is a perfect balance, it may take a while to get it patched, but...

    Getting new tires??

    I apologize for probably the most basic of question. But I got a Y, and need new tires soon. On all my previous cars id just find a local tire place with cheapest tires, pay them a few hundred bucks and be on my way. I didnt really care about the tires. But on the Y, I kind of do. And because...

    App charge limit percentages are off?

    This has happened before and ended up fixing itself later. But I cant seem to be able to set the charge limit to 100%, going all the way to the max sets it to 98%. And setting it to 90% (I even feel the phone vibrate indicating I set it right on the mark), it sets to 89%. Anyone experience this...

    Do you use Electrify America as a Tesla owner?

    Over here in California we got Superchargers at 36c/kw, which isnt cheap, but level 2 chargers are around 20c/kw. We got the first Electrify America station open near me, never seen one in person before, and its 46c/kw. And from what I understand with $500 adapter I can get 50kwh charge rate on...

    Does anyone know how the right side 'dummy' charge port door is attached?

    My tail light got replaced, and that fake door is no longer sitting flush. Tesla said its 'within spec'. Im thinking about trying to adjust it myself. Anyone know how its attached? Also, does anyone know what tesla does to adjust panel gaps with things like tail lights? Do they put some sort of...

    Is car's charge voltage accurate for you?

    I have two 14-50 plugs, one side of the garage ~50ft run. And other side ~15ft run. Both runs are 8AWG copper. I have a J1772 charger (with a readout of Volts, Amps, Kwh etc...) and the Tesla Mobile charger. When plugged in and not pulling any power, the readout on the J1772 and On Tesla screen...

    Would like some education on PPF please

    Hello, after a recent roadtrip and getting a couple stone chips around the hood I decided that I need to get full front PPF. Ive been googling and reading around, trying to educate myself on what is possible with PPF. I found a shop around here (on the forum, Yelp reviews are 5 stars), stopped...
