    What's with all the 6 kW public L2 chargers? Why is it so rare to find faster AC charging options?

    In the city of Boston there are hundreds of public L2 chargers, however there are probably 5 in the entire city which are greater than 6 kW. I see the same trend for pretty much all of New England and New York and Ontario. There are Superchargers and other L3 chargers like Electrify America and...

    Does leaving a battery at low state of charge cause degradation or just inconvenience?

    I have heard that leaving a Tesla battery at low state of charge for long periods of time will permanently damage the battery (similar to high state of charge), but I have also heard the opposite, that there's no harm to the battery itself at low state of charge, just a convenience issue due to...

    Help me decide on my next tires! (Michelin Cross Climate, Sport Pilot AS, Continental ExtremeContact DWS)

    I know, I know, not another tire thread. But I've been searching for a while and I can't seem to answer all of my questions.... A little background: I drive a Model Y LR, 19" wheels in Boston. Yeah it snows here but not as much as most people think it does. each year I might end up driving in...

    Software branch question

    I have been on a 2023 FSD branch since the holiday update. Now that FSD 12 is on the horizon, I have a question about software versions and branches. I noticed that some Tesla employees recently got a 2023.x release with FSD 12, and according to TeslaFi most of the 2024 software version don’t...

    Is it better for my car to spend more time at 50% or have shallower discharge cycles but spend more time at a higher state of charge.

    I work from home and usually do one large drive each weekend. I live in a condo with a shared charger so its inconvenient to charge after every drive because I have to move my car once the charge is complete, therefore I have not been charging every day like Tesla recommends. My current...

    Random ping sound on FSD with steering wheel haptic vibration

    I’ve noticed that sometimes while driving with FSD I get a random “ping” sound and My steering wheel vibrates (haptic feedback). This is not a lane departure warning nor is it a ”hands on wheel” nag, it just randomly makes a noise and vibrates the wheel but then keeps on driving like usual. I...

    Questions about “fast charge contactor” and “high voltage controller” replacement service to fix supercharging issues

    I have a 2023 Model Y with 15k miles on it (10 months old). Last week when charging at a supercharger on a road trip I got a “Charging stopped“ message and could barely get home. I noticed that AC charging still worked so I was able to get into a service center in a few days. Even before my...

    Unable to charge at supercharger

    I drive a model Y which is just under a year old. I was out on a ski trip today, 150 miles from home with 15% battery remaining and I stopped at a supercharger like I do every few weeks. Never had an issue with superchargers until now. Everything was fine for the first 5% charge, then my car...

    Model Y Long Range constantly showing 315-317 mile range when fully charged.

    First time Tesla owner here, and my car is about 10 months old. Is it normal for my Long Range Model Y to be showing no more than 317 miles (sometimes as low as 315) when charged to 100%? Occasionally I charge to 100% during a long road trip when I know it won't sit at 100% for long and may not...

    Are any of the tricks to force a software update real?

    I've read so many tricks about how to force a software update (aside from just going to the software page the regular way which only seems to work 1x per day) and I seriously question whether there's any validity in any of them. For example: Hold down both steering wheel buttons to force a...

    Model Y Rear Bumper Repair or replacement

    Somebody hit my model Y and damaged my rear bumper paint while parking. They said their insurance will cover it. No structural damage that I can see. From what I read on this forum the repair should be simple as Tesla can just pop in a pre-painted bumper and call it a day for around $1,000...

    Is there any solution to the poor inductive phone charger behavior in Model Y?

    I use an iPhone 14 Pro. I have noticed that the charge mat in my model Y isn't as useful as I thought it would be. It's a great place to set my phone because I never forget it when its in plain sight and I don't care much about the charging speed but I almost don't want to put my phone there...

    How likely is it that FSD-beta 11.x visualization will make it into standard AP and EAP

    I tried FSD-beta 11.3.6 today (via subscription) and while the self-driving capability is very impressive, what really struck me is how much better the new visualization is compared to the stock visualization. For example I can now always see cars parked on the sides of the road, always see cars...

    Behavior of latest FSD beta after subscription ends

    My car has EAP and I want to try FSD beta. If I purchase a FSD subscription in the future I assume I can get into the beta program (once the 2023 FSD betas are going out at least). I am wondering what happens if I install FSD-beta with an FSD subscription and then decide not to renew my FSD...

    FSD-beta 2023.6.15 rollout speculation

    It seems that 2023.6.15 is finally going out to Tesla employees! Does anybody have any idea how long it typically takes for beta relases to go from internal testing to a public roll out? I paid for FSD subscription this month then cancelled immediately once I found out I had to wait for a...

    Do I need to be in my car to know whether there's an update for my car?

    I have a new model Y and I’m waiting for the new update which will give me park assist despite having no USS. Do I need to be in my car to know whether there is a new software update or should I be able to check for updates in the Tesla mobile app. Just wondering if it’s worth walking out to my...

    Ideal driver's seat position in model Y

    I was wondering how all of you adjusted your seat in your model Y for the ideal driving position. I like mine on the high side because it gives me the best view of the road and in front of the car (especially when parking since there is no front camera or USS parking features) but I noticed that...

    Best charge level when charging the day before a long trip and not able to schedule charge overnight?

    My building has a shared leve2 charger and I'm not allowed to charge from 7 am to 9 am so it's hard to charge overnight without being inconvenienced in the morning. I want to leave for a road trip at 10 am. Rather than leaving it charging overnight and waking up at 7 am and moving my car I'd...

    Charging setup for my condo garage parking space

    I live in a condo in Boston that has a large parking garage with a dedicated space for each resident. While awaiting delivery of my model Y, I've been thinking a lot about how to optimize my charging situation. My building has 6 charging bays in the upstairs area of the garage that I will be...

    Questions about using a random public outlet in my garage

    I live in a condo building that does have mobile chargers, but they're on a different level of our garage from my reserved space and have restrictions (like no charging from 7-9 am) and they are not free, and are sometimes congested. I noticed today that there's an outlet in my garage...

    Red Model Y Waiting Room

    Hey everyone, just wanted to create a thread specifically for red model Ys. Red is the least popular yet coolest looking color for a Tesla! I've heard rumors about red cars taking longer to produce and I created a spreadsheet to track red Y's which you can take a look at here in an attempt to...
