I’ve had similar defrost questions. My car is also a 2023 Long Range Model Y. After watching YouTube videos on model y defrost and reading in the online Model Y manual, I do not not see a control setting that allows for airflow to be directed to the floor when selecting defrost setting #17...

chdlmc, thank you for this. I actually read that thread, as well as a number of other Model Y / 18 inch wheel discussions. My preference would be 18" M3 Aero wheels, but I've been unable to source used locally. I have a message in to my local Tesla store asking for price on a set of new 18"...

Hello. I'm in the process of sourcing snow wheels and tires for my 2023 Model Y LR. A local tire shop has proposed Vision Boost 18 x 8 et38 wheels - 1900 lb. load capacity. Are there problems / issues I should be aware of that would make this wheel an unacceptable choice?

Thank you to all who weighed in with your great responses. Long story short - no, we did not reject the car, we took delivery yesterday. When I say we, I mean myself and my wife. The car is for the two of us. I was grateful to have her participation and interest in the decision making...

Today at 11 a.m. I went to my local Tesla store to inspect the Model Y Long Range (Fremont build) assigned to me. I used a checklist that I found on this forum, and my wife helped me go through it. Flaws noted: Visible chip on leading edge of the hood. Debris (nib?) in paint on leading edge...

Hi kpanda17. Will you please provide the manufacturer and possible sourcing options for the white (plastic?) hanger and cord pass-through pictured in your post?

Thank you all for your thoughtful input. Apologies for not posting sooner - it's been quite a week. Long story short, after test driving a Model Y again (first time was back in Feb. 2023), we pulled the plug on the Model 3 RWD. I find the current Model 3 discount pricing extremely compelling...

Lindenwood, thanks for your reply. You prompted me to research ground clearance, and I found the 2002 Jetta listed at 5.2 inches, the 20213 Leaf listed at 6.3 inches, and the 2023 Model 3 listed at 5.5 inches. Are you joking about the 27" tire suggestion, or is that a typo?

Hello all. Because of the affordability, I've been seriously considering a discounted Model 3 RWD. I live in eastern Washington, where we average about 45 inches of snow annually, with heavy snowfall years maybe double that amount. I'm currently driving a Leaf with Blizzaks for winter...

Hi. Questions: 1. Where do the "Inventory" cars come from? I believe I read somewhere that they are cars that have been ordered and and shipped, then the purchaser declines to purchase, perhaps to move in a different purchasing direction or perhaps the car is rejected because of quality...

Without taking a day off, reserving online was my best option. I was able to secure my reservation about 7:40 p.m. Thursday night. When Elon came on stage at 8:30 p.m., he said reservations were up to ~ 115,000, so I figure I'm probably somewhere near 115,000 + / -. My whole goal for signing...

The chart ends in 2005 - what has the trajectory been over the last 8 - 9 years?

Hello Gene and all. Who are the 4 inverter suppliers mentioned in the quote above?

Hi Norse, So if I understand you correctly, the "Norwegian sales guy" is a Tesla employee? And is essentially disseminating The type of inaccurate information that Tesla has fought such an uphill battle to correct? And he's speaking to movers, shakers and decision makers that impact policy...
