Currently, the cost of replacing the battery for an EV is so high that it does not seem practical to do. Does anyone know if there is research or technology in development that will in the near future make it less costly and more practical to replace the battery in a Tesla as it ages? If so...

I submitted a service request for a battery/charging issue. The only response I received was a green check mark saying request received and “we will contact you shortly.” I don’t see my service request in the messages section. Can someone explain what o should expect next or if there is any...

I have a new 2023 model y long range. Per the specs the range is supposed to be 330 miles. When I set my charge to 90%, the car charges to 291 miles range. By my calculation, 90% of 330 should be 297. Does anyone know the reason for the discrepancy? Thank you.

I have a 2023 model y with black interior. What do you recommend to wash down the seats (general light dirt)? What do you recommend to wash the interior door panels and dash? Thank you.

If my car is in my garage overnight where the temperature is moderate (50-60 degrees) should I still use the scheduled departure precondition feature? Is that what is best for battery health and range? Thank you.

Forgive me if this is a basic question. I have ordered a 2023 model Y and have read that it does not have Apple CarPlay. How does the Tesla Infotainment work? I like to mostly listen to podcasts while driving and current car has Apple CarPlay for the podcasts app. Thank you.

The app is telling me to upload my payment now but my delivery window is not until 3/18-3/25. Do I pay now or at the time of delivery?

Just confirmed I got the matrix headlights

I am Fremont also. Looks like we are on the same shipment.

I got my vin this morning too! How do you know if it is Fremont or Austin? Can you tell if there are any add ons like the matrix lights?

My EDD updated this morning from 3/5 - 3/31 to 3/9 - 3/23. Is that good news? Lol. Order date 1/17. Blue/black 5 seat.
