    Yakima Big Stack & 3 Whitewater boats

    Disclaimer: I haven't used the Big Stack on my Y, but I've been whitewater kayaking since the 1990s and have used lots and lots of rack systems over the years. I have the factory roof racks on my Y. Yakima makes the OEM Tesla bars, so they should know about compatibility. In addition, the...

    Model Y 19" Gemini Wheel and Winter Tire Package On MYP

    Not really, but there is more going on than just the wheel/tire combo. Model Y efficiency generally decreases as it gets colder (check out "Stats" or other apps that show fleet efficiency) and I often run a ski box on top along with my winter tires. My summer tire efficiency is usually a bit...

    Cool MagSafe iPhone Holder (Behind Steering Wheel)

    I picked up one of these recently after seeing this thread. It seems well made and makes looking at Waze or the S3XY Buttons dashboard much easier than on the wireless charger.

    Roof racks and boot liners…

    Yakima makes the Tesla OEM roof rack. I do not think Thule has come out with a system to attach to a Y. There are lots of good third party boot/cargo liners. I am partial to the 3D Maxpider Kagu ones.

    Y performance winter tires

    Have you driven a Y with 19" winter tires? Have you fitted a Y Performance with 17" wheels/tires? I believe there are very limited options in 18" wheel that will fit a Y Performance and nothing in a 17" wheel that will clear the brakes.

    Range & Tire Pressure

    But it probably did not change because of the change in tire pressure. If you are referring to the range number next to the battery symbol, that will fluctuate up an down a small amount (mostly down). Read up on battery degradation. at 100% when new my MYP used to show over 300 miles. Now at...

    Wintergreen Resort charging

    I have seen a good number of Teslas up at Wintergreen this summer. I pulled into The Market once recently and was the 4th Tesla parked there. I don't know how many are home owners with L2 charging and how many simply charged up enough in Lynchburg/Charlottesville/Staunton/Lexington to make the...

    2022 model Y sets off radar detector

    I have a V1 gen 1 and a 2021 MYP. My car does not set off the laser detector, but an iPhone X or greater will.

    2022.20.8

    I got 2022.20.8 today. I was on 2022.20.7 and checked right before I installed .8 to see if the "Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking Is Limited" option was there. It was not. I have it now with .8, but it was not in the release notes. I have a 2021 MYP in the US.

    MYP moving rear tyres to the front

    That tire will fit just fine on a 9.5" wheel. A 275/35/21 should mount fine on wheels from about 9" wide to about 11" wide. The better question is whether the Y has sufficient clearance for the increased width and height of the tire (it seemed OK in the video, but I didn't see the wheels...

    Tesla $7500 Tax Credit Coming Back?

    If the link above is to the correct version of the proposed bill, page 376 of that proposed bill seems to say that for married filing jointly $300k MAGI (in the current or previous tax year) is a threshold limit and there would not be a phase out.

    Wintergreen Resort charging

    I have since purchased a house at Wintergreen and have installed a Wall Connector on a 60 amp circuit. Several other homeowners have 14-50 outlets, but as of right now there is no public charging option at Wintergreen. I'm sure the more interest that is expressed to management, the more likely...

    Get out of fsd beta software branch?

    Did you reply with your VIN number to the auto response? Kicked out of what? Do you still have FSD or FSD Beta? You cannot get "kicked out" of your car's software version.

    Get out of fsd beta software branch?

    I was in FSD Beta with a monthly FSD subscription that I canceled in early July. I’ve been on 2022.12.3.20 for awhile. Last night I emailed [email protected] with my VIN and today when I got home, connected to wifi, and pushed the software tab on the controls screen, I started to download...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Yes and yes. If you put the button behind the steering wheel at 9 o'clock, it is a smooth motion with your left hand to signal a lane change and then hit the button to cancel the blinker and reengage Autopilot. Additionally, if you are in the US, once you have engaged Autopilot the button if...

    Get out of fsd beta software branch?

    I agree that you can't have both active at the same time. I suspect what the OP is saying is that he/she has 2022.12.3.20 (which is the most common software version for FSD beta) and has quit paying monthly for FSD/unenrolled in FSD beta. He/she hasn't gotten an update to get onto the non-FSD...

    Autopilot Utility

    Check out S3XY buttons. A button configured to "start autopilot" attached behind the steering wheel at 9 o'clock is perfect for resuming autopilot.

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    I've had these for a few weeks now, and the "start autopilot/auto pilot hands-on" feature is worth it alone. I was paying monthly for FSD to get the lane change feature. I've canceled it because signaling a lane change and hitting the "start autopilot" button is so much better and smoother...

    19" Gemini's on a MYP

    I've been running 19" Gemini wheels with Pirelli Sottozero 3 winter tires on my 2021 MYP for over two months and 2500 miles. I have had no issues, fitment-based or otherwise. Some have speculated that Tesla's warning about incompatibility of their winter tire package with the Performance Y has...

    Nobody mentions that the acceleration boost is too much power for the stock suspension of the non-performance model

    I have a performance model Y, but I seriously doubt the MYLR has a suspension that cannot handle the additional torque of AB. Let’s talk about what vehicles you’ve owned before the Y.

    Me, too. I purchased some 19" Tesla Gemini wheels locally and mounted Pirelli Sottozero 3 tires on them. No issues clearing the brakes on the performance Y.

    Wintergreen Resort charging

    I'm bringing this thread back to life because ski season is upon us. Anyone have an update on Wintergreen charging? I've seen one place on AirBnB that has EV charging for guests that stay there. Plugshare used to show a 14-50 outlet in the vicinity, but it has been taken down.

    Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Cargo Box

    Manually adjust the liftgate to the point you want it to stop. Press and hold the button on the liftgate that closes it for 3 seconds until you hear a chime. Now the liftgate will stop at that position when opened.

    Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Cargo Box

    I am using an older Thule Ascent 1100 box. My use case is mainly for skis, so the box is long. The Y lets you adjust the opening height of the trunk liftgate, so that it doesn't hit the box. You just manually adjust where you want the liftgate to stop and hold the liftgate close button for 3...

    Taking home a Christmas tree

    I have the factory trailer hitch for my Y. Yesterday I uncovered it for the first time and installed a trailer hitch basket for a ride to the farmer's market to pick out a tree. It worked great and no pine needles to vacuum up or sap on the roof/roof racks.

    Model Y 19" Gemini Wheel and Winter Tire Package On MYP

    I can confirm that the 19" Gemini Wheels fit on the MYP just fine. I swapped over from the 21" Uberturbines to Pirelli Sottozero winter tires mounted on 19" Geminis this past Sunday. Installation of the wheels was easy and it only took about a mile of driving for the TPMS on the Geminis to...

    What's Your Score?

    I got the Beta on Friday, November 12 with a safety score of 99. That was less than a week after requesting the Beta and lots of cautious driving in chill mode. I probably did not drive more than 75 miles before I was able to download. I think I'm a safer driver in sport mode and driving in...

    I was unaware of it, but Find Devices was already on my Apple Watch. Press the crown to go to the dock and find the green icon with a laptop and phone on it.

    Model Y Performance - Winter Tire Options?

    There are threads all over this site with people putting different wheel sizes on the MYP. For example: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-y-performance-going-from-21-to-19-wheels.217241/ Or check out the TSportline website and look at any of their 19" wheels. There are pictures of...

    Model Y Performance - Winter Tire Options?

    Yes. The Brake calipers on the MYP do not prevent most 20" or 19" wheels from being mounted on them. The stock 20" inductions, 19" Gemini, and lots of options from TSportline, Martian, etc. will fit.

    So we are still experiencing the chief complaint here. You still cannot shut off the passenger vent if someone is in the passenger seat, short of fooling the seat sensor.

    Question about stereo system in Model Y

    I have not. It feels very song and volume dependent. The sub is back there and will move some air, but it doesn't consistently hit like I prefer, especially not at low or moderate volumes. I'm not someone who has ever had any serious aftermarket subs or unrealistic expectations about car...

    Pros/Cons of 20x10 vs 19x9.5 winter setup

    You have done your research. I think you are spot on with the tradeoffs and advantages to each setup. 255/45R19 is the OEM 19" tire size for the Model Y. That's a 255mm wide tire (about 10" wide). The stock 19" Gemini wheels are 9.5" wide. A 19 x 8.5 wheel will work fine with a 255mm/10"...

    Tire 245 for MY instead of 255 on Gemini wheels

    That size is 1.1% smaller than stock, so the speedometer will be negligibly off. The issue is that the Gemini wheels are 9.5" wide and 245mm is about 9.6" wide. The 255 tires are pretty stretched on the 9.5" wheel. Some installers might not install a 245 tire on anything wider than a 9" wheel.

    Front Passenger Air Vent - Can you turn it off?

    But do you have a passenger in the seat? The behavior you are describing is common: Teslas only blow air out of the vent when they detect weight in the seat (or if you manually turn the vent on). What people are complaining about here is that you cannot manually turn the vent off when someone...
