Have you tried changing the Cabin Overheat Protection to fan only (no AC)? This might help.

They did and I have it selected. Font on warning messages is still WAY too small.

If you get wheel covers, make sure they cover the entire rim. That’s the problem with the ones that come with the car, they are about 1/4” short of the rim edge and you will get curb rash. I bought Rimetrix. They’re not cheap, but work great. Curb rash is on the cover rather than the rim.

This is the first EV I’ve ever owned and I thought I’d post this review aimed primarily at those who are considering buying a Model Y. I could drone on with more detail, but these are the things that are important to me. Obviously, this is just one person’s opinion based on their own...

To each his own, but in my experience the FSD subscription is not worth the $199/mo. I got it for 2 months (for 2 road trips last May and June) but did not renew it for a 700 mile trip I took last week. If you use Autopilot’s Autosteer, the car will hold its lane and adjust its speed to slower...

From Tesla support: ”For each route where Navigate on Autopilot is available, you will have the option to activate it by pressing the NAVIGATE ON AUTOPILOT button located in your Navigation Turn List.”. I also just purchased an FSD subscription yesterday for an upcoming trip. Haven’t had a...

This is just a suggestion, but if I were you I’d tell the SA to set the acceleration mode to Chill, the steering mode to Comfort, and the stopping mode to Creep. These settings most closely resemble an ICE car with an automatic transmission. Once you get used to the regenerative braking, you...

Here’s the checklist I used. https://blog.tesbros.com/tesla-delivery-checklist/

Here’s what they say on their website. Gain isn’t very much. https://i0.wp.com/rimetrix.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Laminar-Efficiency-Tests-02.png?resize=1536%2C1200&ssl=1

Yeah, to me they look MUCH better than the covers, but they say range is reduced by about 5-10% due to aerodynamics.

The more I drive this car, the more I absolutely LOVE it. CR says it’s a stiff ride, but I don’t see that at all. User interface has changed since I rented last fall and it’s better, more intuitive. If you’ve not driven one, get used to one pedal driving. With ICE cars, I was a “coaster.”...

Hope your delivery goes as well as mine did.

FINALLY!!!! 222 days from OD to DD. Car was immaculate. One small smudge on driver’s door. Guy said they arrive with a protective plastic film they remove and it sometimes leaves a little adhesive residue. He removed it with a spray bottle of some kind of solution . Didn’t ask what it was...

Sounds like BS to me. I went to DC twice inquiring about where the car was. First time they told me it was sitting in a rail yard in Richmond CA, second time they told me it was sitting at rail head in Birmingham AL. I believe they CAN locate your car. My guess is that the car has an IP...

Happy for you!👍
