    Black Gemini Wheels?

    The worst thing about the silver wheels and black wheel covers is seeing the silver through and behind the wheel covers. Makes it look fairly obvious and even cheaper. I did it last summer and this summer got my wheels powder coated to run them naked.

    2024.14.8 No Front Camera

    I just got updated to 2024.3.25 last week and yesterday on my drive home this happened to me too. Was fine on my drive to work, whole drive home didn't even have basic cruise control. Frustrating. I took a pic of the screen and a pic of the screen with the road showing lines were clearly...

    Amtrak Auto Train

    I am in Canada. I cannot answer your question. I'm just here to say that as a guy with a family where having your own personal vehicle and all it's kit is a huge plus this service looks awesome. I'd be all over that service, seems pretty awesome.

    Tesla Bike Rack Hitch Mount Manufacturer?

    FullTilt 5 Yakima used to sell a 4 bike version under their own brand but now only offer the 5 bike under their own label. Tesla is using this in the 4 bike version. That said, you can use any hitch rack that fits your bike and suits your needs.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    I'm generally not a fan of silver, but damn that's a nice silver. Has some nice color shifting action and shows off the lines really well. In the right light at least.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Decided to ditch the Ali Express wheel covers this year. OEM Gemini's powder coated bronze metallic with flat clear. Happy with the subtle colour. Removed the chrome badges and replaced with some black badges and a small black plate frame and I think I can now pick mine out in a parking lot...

    Towing vehicle flashing up on rear sensor....

    Tow mode is turned on when trailer wiring harness is connected. Tow mode affects some drivers' assistances and disables auto steer. It doesn't change visualizations. If you have USS they are disabled, but the cameras are not disabled in vision only cars. When the circumstances are right, the...

    Towing vehicle flashing up on rear sensor....

    It's not the rear bumper sensors, if you have them. It's the rear facing camera and the car's software. If your trailer is the right size, shape and distance the software visualizes the trailer as a car running right up your butt. I agree it shouldn't do this in tow mode. But I'm certain it's a...

    Will the free FSD trial convince you to purchase FSD?

    LMAO - this is my travel corridor. And perhaps why I wasn't impressed the first time I tried it. Then tried it again. And promptly went back to standard autopilot. I would love standard autopilot with auto lane change. It's a subtle, but welcome addition.

    2nd row middle seat pin removal

    I originally ordered a 5 seater to save a couple of bucks thinking we could go 3 wide in row 2. We even did a car seat fitment test on test drive, but that was with forward facing car seats and latch anchors and not with boosters. We sprung for the 7 seater when the same config as our MY5 order...

    2nd row middle seat pin removal

    I'm sure you're aware but doing so will render the middle seat and regular armrest completely useless. Also, the 2nd row seatbelts become more difficult to access for little ones in boosters with that center section folded down for when using the second row when not using the 3rd row. Ask me how...

    FSD 12.3.3 Phantom braking

    Phantom braking on any form of cruise (TACC, AP, FSD) is the major achilles heel of the Tesla driving experience. In my humble opinion. And there's nothing we can do about it.

    I regret my Model Y purchase because of seat comfort and seating position problems

    It took me weeks to figure out I had an issue with the driver's seat after purchase. And another few weeks of mucking around trying different things until I managed to get myself to a happy place. That said, I did a minor modification to the bottom seat cushion and if you're desperate, handy...

    Uncomfortable Front Seat(s) / Thigh Bolster Mod

    The lower seat cushion is a separate standalone part if that's what you're looking to replace. You shouldn't need to replace the whole seat unless the frame is broken. If it isn't a warranty fix I'd be searching for a slightly used second-hand part, personally. If you've had the seat serviced...

    Will the free FSD trial convince you to purchase FSD?

    The deal breaker before it even becomes a consideration is it disables normal cruise if I want to control the steering wheel and have the car hold a constant speed. I didn't have full confidence in the decisions it was making and stop signs, I found some of it's own speed changes more abrupt...

    Undocumented Change to Cruise Set Speed in 2024.3.6 / 2024.3.10?

    I got the FSD trial. Promptly agreed, set it up, tried it out. I didn't mind tinkering and learning but my passengers really weren't comfortable so I disabled it and went back to standard autopilot. No biggie to me, figured I have a month and can flip back and forth. That's when I notice a...

    Model Y 7 Seat Weathertech Cargo Mat

    I've used the 3D maxpider trunk mat in mine. It's lighter weight / less "heavy duty" feeling if you will vs the heavy rubber I typically like in my trunk mats. That said, that makes it pretty flexible and easy to use both the rear sub trunk and one or both 3rd row seats on a whim without...

    M3P: Trade or sell?

    I want an S. My bank account does not LOL. Trade in value, if firm and not an estimate, seems reasonable considering new current pricing. Plaid is a pretty big premium for bragging rights IMO. But if you want it, you want it. I think the MSLR now sneaks in under the ontario luxury tax cut-off...

    Seven Seat Interior give more room in row 2?

    No. Row 2 at full rearward position in 7 seater is the same as a 5 seater. The only thing you gain with 3 row over the 2 row is the ability to slide the seats in row 2 forward. I think maybe some additional recline as well if you're into that sort of thing, can't remember.

    Safety Equipment That is a Must Have in a Tesla

    For local commuting I have jack pucks, J1772 adapter in the car. I keep meaning to put in an air pump / plug kit and keep forgetting. The only real "safety" accessory I've installed is the rear door emergency release extensions (ordered from ali express). We have small kids and wanted it to be...

    2023 Model Y Best Color with Gemini Wheels?

    Red, you either love it or hate it. Not one of your choices but here it is with the stock Gemini. I'm a little upset with myself because I hated the stock hubcaps but quite liked this look. But I let my friends talk me into black wheel covers. Tried the wheel covers for a few months, figured...

    Why you should skip the powered frunk and grab a Satonic soft close frunk

    I really want to want this. But man am I afraid of the potential PITA of failure as above. And I live in a nasty climate - plenty of exposure to all 4 seasons.

    Can you add Wiper Control to the cards on Tesla display?

    I realized something the other day. I typically do one light push of the wiper stalk then tap from there. I noticed there was a tiny arrow at the side. You can adjust wiper speeds without touching the screen at all. Light push of the wiper stalk brings up the menu, then you can toggle the left...

    We’ve seen S3XY buttons, but a S3XY knob?

    Are your buttons identified as gen 2 in any way? I emailed to ask about gen 1 buttons working with the new commander because I ordered the add-on buttons before they announced the gen 2 publicly. They told me I was shipped the gen 2 buttons and they'll be fine with the commander. I just opened...

    3rd row seats down gap filler

    Oh I'm good for mats. I thought you meant you installed a cargo cover, like a privacy cover for the trunk. Something like the 5 seaters get. Thanks for taking the time to reply though!

    Rattle mystery-- can you solve it!?

    I know you've mentioned it gets better if the middle seat is folded down. If it's not your seatbelt try the following to see if you can pin it down more (I just went through weeks of trying to find a rattle / squeak). Fold down the center armrest only, not the whole center seat. Extend and lock...

    We’ve seen S3XY buttons, but a S3XY knob?

    I have a knob on pre-order and ordered 4 buttons black friday because I know I'd prefer a few dedicated hard buttons. That was before I knew that they'd be adding the long-press 3rd action functionality to each button. Now I wish I only bought 2 buttons, might see if I can sell the second pack...

    3rd row seats down gap filler

    You have an aftermarket cargo cover in a 7 seater? Can you share which one and if you're happy with it? I've been looking but everything I have found is either super vague about compatibility or says not compatible. Would appreciate it.

    Creaking liftgate

    It's probably as noted above. Mine started only when opening the trunk. Then was happening when opening and closing, always when the hatch was up at it's top limit of travel. If you're under warranty it's worth a service request. Mine was fixed when they fixed my hatch water leak

    Is this normal for a brand new Model Y 7-Seater?

    Have a 7 seater. Thats the slack in the seat back cable from folding down the second row. You'd only see it if the second row was slid forward. You can try unlatching the seat back to fold forward and tucking them in as you push the seat back, back up if it's bugging you. I think mine pop out...

    If that were the case they'd throw a fit if I turned the camera and showed the car plugged in and charging under the solar panels haha. For the record I didn't cut the whole trees down. I trimmed down the tops of 2 x fruit trees that were getting a bit too tall.
