Never unsafe? So the video I posted about it causing an 8 car pile up on a San Francisco highway is "totally fine" right? It's just an "annoyance" right? Is this a CULT or a RELIGION? Keep eating that finger chili :)

Hey guys, Just an update to this thread I started over a year ago. The phantom braking only got worse with the updates (in addition to new bugs like the window wiper bug). After 10 months of ownership I traded in the tesla for a non-ev at a ~$30k loss (the tesla was $70k when I got it in Dec...

There is one more thing I'd like to add... At $54k-$7.5k the car is a good deal. PB and range issues aside, it's definitely worth it. I paid almost $70k for the same vehicle 2.5 months ago. At $70k it's definitely NOT worth it. It has too many bugs that should be ironed out for a vehicle in...

This is great advice and great information.

Coming from someone that has a brand new 2023 MYLR with major phantom braking issues here is what I think (see my other post about my experience). 1. If you plan on driving long range in this vehicle, do NOT get it (ex: road trips, and highway driving on desert type highways like we have in the...

Really? At a profit? Wow. You are a true fanboy drinking the cool aid all the way... And yeah, I tried. I paid $68,440 cash on December 3rd, 2022. CarMax offered me $37,000 for a 2 month old car with 2,267 miles on it. Who will give me $68k+ (profit) if a brand new MYLR is selling for $54,500...

Thanks for sharing your feedback man. It's hard for people who never experienced this problem to understand the full impact of how scary and uncomfortable it is. Having now tried multiple times on my 2023 MYLR I can definitely say that I would not recommend you buy this car for any type of...

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately it's extremely uncomfortable to keep your foot "just barely covering the accelerator" on a 7 hour drive. It's not a comfortable position and the foot cramps up quickly. I just drive my Hyundai now because I can put it on cruise control and it drives without...

The phantom braking on my 2023 MYLR brings the car to a complete stop on a highway if I do not intervene by pressing the accelerator after a phantom braking event occurs. The speed is reduced from 75 mph to 50 mph immediately and then gradually slowed down to 0 at a rate of about 10 mph per 5...

It's interesting to note that quite a few people are jumping on board and saying this is not phantom braking when it very clearly is. When a car slams the brakes without cause it is phantom braking. It's extremely frightening and dangerous. What makes matters worse is you guys are trying to...

Sorry to hear about your issue man. As someone who experienced the same problem over a dozen times (minus the car shutting down part) I understand at least some of what you've been through. It's extremely dangerous and scary when it happens. Please keep us updated on your situation. I am...

For me, when the phantom braking occurred, the speed dropped each time from about 75 MPH to ~50mph in a matter of about 2 seconds. The speed continued to be reduced until I applied acceleration. So in my case, I think the car would have come to a complete stop (on the highway) if accelerator was...

Hey guys. Thanks for all of your feedback and excellent info. It's very interesting to note that this problem has been ongoing and some people experience it while others do not and the hardware level of the vehicle (sensors vs vision) does not appear to make much of a difference with recent...

I have the latest version that my vehicle supports, so yes, I do have the latest version. You are taking a hostile position on a topic that's of importance to current and future Tesla vehicle owners. If I knew this was such a serious and dangerous issue I would not have purchased this vehicle...

Bob, I had a similar issue today while driving with my wife. It was very unpleasant and scary. I created a thread here about it because I didn't see this subforum: New 2023 Tesla Model Y - Major phantom breaking issues

Thanks for the heads up!

My version number is 2022.40.200. When I gave the vehicle wifi access it indicates that this is the latest version and I have "Advanced" updates disabled.

Hi guys, Just wanted to share an experience that I've had today so that others looking at Teslas to use for long distance driving can make an informed decision. My wife and I drove our 2023 MYLR from Tucson to Las Vegas. It's a ~7 hour drive (8.5 with charging stops, ~400 miles) mostly...

I had the same issue with needing a CH260 breaker and ended up driving about 200 miles (each way) to a home depot in Thatcher, AZ that had 3x of them in stock for $32/each. I had to order online and pick up in person. They do not ship or allow pickup anywhere else. I bought 2 in case one was...

Agreed. We've only had our tesla for less than 24 hours but we took it on a long drive today and it rained hard. The "auto" controls for wipers are OK, but not dialed in quite right. Basically, they are too slow in heavy rain and their consistency is off. Sometimes they are too fast, and...

I picked up my 2023 MYLR Fremont built yesterday. Total wait time from ordering online to pickup was 10 days. Was surprised to get it so quick I had everything standard except tow hitch. I also received the credit which was a nice surprise because it shaved almost $7k off the price (credit + tax...

I guess mine says its a 2023 from fremont, but its LR not Standard as the decoder claims (using teslatap.com). Just a heads up for anyone interested... I ordered on the 19th of Nov 2022 and scheduled a pickup today for Dec 1st. They originally said Dec - Jan pickup but I guess it got moved the...

How can I tell where my tesla is built and what year the VIN is? I just got my VIN a few minutes ago but when I try plugging it into some of the VIN decoders on Google they don't work.

Thanks for the link. The service panel is sized for 200A. There is just one sub panel for our spa but that's in front of the actual spa. The spa is on a 50A breaker in the main panel and in its subpanel.

I have not so thanks for the great suggestion. On a 200A service line, what maximum utilization (in kw) should I be looking for in order to determine if a 60A breaker (48A continuous draw) is within safety limits. Last I did this (a few years ago) I was seeing a max draw of about 15kw when high...

Hi guys. I plan on running wiring myself from the breaker box (attached to outside of house) through metal 1'' conduit (which will attached to house) to garage. Total distance is about 25 feet from breaker to charger. I ordered 4 AWG THHN wire x3 (red, black, green). I realize the ground doesn't...
