    Enhanced autopilot worth $6k seems to be useless as summon feature is blocked off

    I added the speed boost and EAP to my 20 MY years ago. I enjoy the EAP, but only use the speed boost on rare occasions (I’m too chill, I guess)… I have to admit I am shocked by how timid, easily confused and halting FSD is. You’d think the engineering team was managed by a leader who believed...

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    You are soo right. But as someone who frequently drives in NYC, where the speed limit is 25 mph, and where my own daughter has amassed five camera-based $50.00 speeding tix in the past two months, I only slip out of chill for special occasions 🥳

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    I got 53,000 miles out of my LR factory tires, drive in chill, and find that it’s pretty damn okay!

    CCS Adapter Support

    My ‘20 LR MY is CCS-ready, and I own a Chademo and CCS adapter, just in case, and in 69,000 miles have never used them.

    Loud noise coming from the front motor?

    Great question and perfect answer!

    Model Y LR approximate range 80% of battery

    My 2020 LR MY with 68K miles gets 233 - 240 miles (on the screen, at least) when charged to 80%.

    When to Replace 12v?

    @dude7, @JayPaul Agreed. Clearly the EV world is not without occasion speed bumps and landlines. It’s good to avoid what hazards lie ahead if you can.

    When to Replace 12v?

    My MY is 3.75 years old, (68K miles) and I walked into the Smithtown, NY service center last week, where the underwriter told me that there was no reason to change the 12v battery in the absence of error messages on the screen. I scheduled it anyway (along with electively scheduling the HEPA mod...

    USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

    I am curious about something: If I pay less for a car with a battery limited by software, and the battery fails out of warranty, do I still pay “full-price” for the replacement battery (even though its functionality is software limited by the manufacturer)? Or do I pay a reduced price because it...

    SiriusXM on Model Y

    After diligently following the original Model 3 thread and this one, and DMing with a few of the cast members, I “took the plunge” with my 2020 LR MY. I 3D printed a slightly modified antenna mount, opening the angles on each side of the antenna to optimize range. I also epoxied a thin steel...

    SiriusXM on Model Y

    I now really believe (in view of petulant Elon’s recently announced plan to drop Disney+ from some Teslas after Disney withdrew advertising from X) that he must have had a disagreement or argument with Sirius/XM shortly before the finalization of Model 3 specs and impulsively said “fu€k em” —...
