    Tesla Navigation Starting to Make me Nervous

    I've had my Model Y for almost 3yrs, been on a few 1000mi road trips in various weather/Temps. Up until recently the navigation has been great. It generally has me stop at the next charger with about 15-20% and has me charge to <85% for the next leg. I took a trip recently and it had me...

    Ok... I was DD last night and drove my friends around in one of their Ioniq5's.... Couple features I want in my Tesla now

    I'll cut right to the chase... 1) Red light camera notification. <--- I'd pay for this. Saved me from getting my friend a ticket last night. (yea you can use 3rd party software, but seamless integration is best) 2) Doppler weather radar <--- Even my 2017 Prius had this. This info is...

    PWS Pause?

    I have a 2021 MY made in 4/2021, I'm smack dab in the middle of when the PWS was added (~9/2020) and when the manual says the following feature is unavailable (11/2021). Supposedly there is a way to pause the PWS (temporarily) under Controls -> Safety -> Pedestrian Warning -> Pause. I do not...

    Games... why are they different for different years (3/Y)?

    I have a 2021 Model Y and a 2023 Model 3. Why is it that the MY has markedly more games than the Model 3? Is there any way to get those games on the newer car (I suspect there's not, but worth asking)? Sometimes I get new ones, sometimes old ones disappear (Sonic no longer in MY). Its a...

    Newish tires.. Worth it?

    A relative of mine with a MY got a nail in a tire a few months after he got his car. Tesla wouldn't fix it so he got 4 new tires without the acoustic foam. Later, he took his tire with a nail in it to a tire shop and they plugged/ patched it. He offered to give me the set of 4 for free (one...

    Upcoming update 2023.26 just saved me some money, time, and effort

    I just got my M3 a month ago and really wanted my game controllers to work in the center console like my 2021 MY. I was about to buy the module from Tesla and install it, which didnt seem overly difficult, but looked like it would have given me a lot of opportunities to break tabs on panels...

    Harsh trunk close beep

    I have a 21 Model Y and it has a somewhat pleasant sounding beep when you close the trunk, I noticed on my 23 Model 3 its not only harsh, but its fairly loud. Did the change the beep or have the 3's always had that sound? anyway to change it? Yea, I know this is nitpicky, just curoius. I...

    30-Day EAP Trial for the Holidays???

    I saw this on Electrek today, apparently people in Australia and New Zealand have gotten a holiday gift (free for 30 days). I think its a great way to sell the product. Many of us are a little meek about dropping $6K for something we might not like and want more than 48hrs to try it out...

    Question about A/C Operation

    I may be going crazy, but I seem to remember a time when if I was the only one in the car, the A/C would only display a temp setting on one side and the vent would only be active on one side. Every time I turn on the A/C (manual or auto), it turns on both vents. Its not set to "split" and...

    Trouble Connecting with App when Car is Asleep

    I dont know exactly when it started, but at least a few days ago. When I'm at home and I try to use the phone app to talk to my car, the circle just continually spins and never wakes the car up. My car doesnt have any updates waiting, I'm on the latest app, I've rebooted both my phone and my...

    Radar getting turned off on Model 3/Y with 2022.20.9

    https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/929/teslas-equipped-with-radar-are-now-transitioning-to-tesla-vision Not sure how I feel about this. Don't like my car getting nerfed with lower AP speeds and greater following distance.

    So I decided to get a Tow Hitch...

    When we first ordered our Y a year ago we had added a hitch to it. We ended up switching to existing inventory and the vehicle we got did not have a hitch on it. It wasnt something we needed immediately and knew we could add it later. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, its time to get one...

    Anyone use their hitch to carry a spare wheel?

    Anyone use their hitch to carry a spare wheel? if so, which rack? I'm thinking of using the hitch mainly for bikes, but on a long trip it would be nice to carry an extra wheel and still have cargo room

    Tesla MY safer than even the M3?? (interesting read)

    https://cleantechnica.com/2022/01/16/is-the-tesla-model-y-even-safer-than-the-tesla-model-3/ Although I did notice the article actually misstated the roof strength. They said strength-to-weight was 4.2, but if you read the tech specs from their source, its actually 4.42 (still less than the...

    Just tried out the Sottozero's (Winter Tires) on my MYLR

    I just got my winter set a week or so ago and today was the first opportunity I had to try them out in actual freezing temps with fresh snow. I'll start by saying I'm the type of person who loves driving, any time it snows I like to take my cars out and play around in empty parking lots. In...

    Model Y changes over time

    DISCLAIMER: Sorry if a thread has already been made, but I havent seen one getting updated. I plan on keeping an active change log by editing this post. Right now I'm concentrating on NA cars, but if people have info, I'll add in China and Berlin I'm going to start with my understanding...

    2021.40.6 Model 3/Y radar still operating?

    Can anyone with a radar M3/Y confirm following distance can still be set to 1 and AP can still go to 90mph with the latest update? Right now I'm extremely happy (2021.36.8)

    Anyone add a drain to the frunk yet?

    after looking at a friend's Mach-E, it's something that would be nice to have and doesn't seem overly complicated to do. just wondering if anyone has done it... My thoughts are to drill a hole at the lowest point of the tub, put in a grommet, attach a tube and route it out the bottom of the...

    First long trip in a MY. Am I being overly cautious on ABRP?

    MYLR going a little over 800mi. I'm using ABetterRoutePlanner, but I'm wondering if my settings are too conservative. What I put in: Starting charge at 95% (may be 100%) Reference consumption at 65mph = 330Wh/mi (default was 298, but I dont know what reality is) Charger Arrival SoC = 15% (is...

    Has anyone gotten a CCS adapter in the US?

    I've seen the official Chademo adapter from Tesla, but from what I understand, CCS is becoming more ubiquitous in the US. There are a couple of sites I've seen that sell CCS to Tesla adapters, but havent seen many reviews on them and searching the TMC forums didnt produce much either. (Yes, I...

    TeslaMirror Safe?

    I'm getting ready to take a very long road trip in my Model Y. I'll be stopping quite a bit at superchargers along the way and want to stream videos from my home Plex server. I can do it on my phone and understand I can mirror it to the MY's screen with TeslaMirror. I just have a couple of...

    Is my MYLR battery drain excessive

    Just got the car a week ago (4/15 build), basically kept it hooked up to a charger (set max charge to 50%) in my garage while I waited for my PPF appointment. I'm semi-using this as a worst case scenario test case, but wanted to know if its typical. Settings: Sentry = ON Prevent Overheat = ON...
