I share a lot of your concerns. Auto Wipers, Auto Highbeam Lights, self-dimming mirror, and blindspot are *meh*. Wife's Jeep is 100x better. Coming from a 2015 F350, Long Bed Crew Cab as a daily driver, it didn't have any of that stuff so it's all bonus to me, but I would be disappointed if I...

Really wish the Tok to Anchorage drive via Tok Cutoff Highway/Richardson/Glenn would get some attention as to go from Tok over to Fairbanks before going down the Parks to Anchorage adds a lot of miles to the journey... But I'll take whatever we can get at this time. Was very Happy to see the...

Can't wait as I hate that the car turns off climate when I'm clearing snow off of it and it's having issues keeping the car warm too. Looking forward to the cold weather improvements. And yes, where I am we've already had several days of sub zero temps.

Use plugshare and you can see some of the DCFC's under construction on the highway system up here. There are others as only one group that is putting them in has updated plugshare with "under construction" pins. There are a couple of operational Chademo/CCS units in the state already - but not...

Here is the odd part as I did some more testing and watching as the snow melted. I don't trust AP on snow/ice covered roads. The car doesn't think the speed limit dropped, it just drops in one area down to 35. I think it has to do with it reading the road. As an example, there is no speed...

I guess I'll chime in here, I got my Y back in Feb and the first time I tried AP it phantom braked multiple times - then I got the first update pretty quick and it was better and it seemed for awhile like it kept getting better and better... Even keeping me centered in the lane really well...

I think everyone summed it up, but really what would you expect on a Tesla Forum? You get work arounds for your annoyances. Auto wipers and headlights are my biggest on your list. But a slight tap at the end of the left stalk and it brings up the wiper menu and gives you a swipe. You can...

I use 15% of my battery each roundtrip into town in the summer and 20% or so in the winter. So if it dropped to 250 miles it still isn't a huge issue for me. I can still do everything I need to with the car. Once I switched to % is makes a lot more sense, even though I prefer to look at the...

Lucky that you all could get it, every time I check it's backordered with no ETA of availability.

Just as an update now that summer is over for me and I've had more time behind the wheel. My average is around 330 wh/mi. 5500 miles on the car and my 100% charge typically shows 300 miles of range. I don't drive as fast as @Chewy986 does as speed limits are 60-65 mph here, but otherwise my...

I'm sure they did want that much - and also a refresh happened and we all know the older models will drop in value. Brian from i1Tesla was really ticked about his trade in offer from Tesla for his X as well...

inergen makes a plug in module and you can control tq split with it. However, It's probably a warranty voiding thing. Even though it's "removeable" - FWIW, it's the same company that can give you either 50HP or all of the performance upgrade on the Y without going through Tesla. Just in case...

Yeah - it seems like leaving the car alone is good enough for me. If I get into a tight spot it seems like it may help. I've gotten pretty good at having a light foot though. Not even a fan of chill mode.

Snow Drift - Now I need to try ORM just to see the difference. I don't have any real issues in the snow/ice in my Y compared to other AWD vehicles I have/have had... I do have studded winter tires that help a LOT. I have a few slippery streets that I may run it on in different modes just to see...

100% true for Alaska. If you are running around Canada and/or the L48 it'd make sense to get an RV locating app and then call ahead to make sure they will allow you to charge. Also, an AIRBNB at Aleyska up here just added a RV charging spot for people that rent from them. So far, I haven't...
