    Stuck in traffic questions

    Stuck in traffic questions

    I can confirm. I was stuck in 115 F heat with a tire blown out during the summer on my way home from Vegas for 3.5 hours. The battery only dropped 3% with running A/C the entire time.

    Are there any radar detector mounts for the Model Y?

    Lol, I'll believe it when I see it. They've been saying this for over 2 years. I got the mount @wootness posted above. High quality and very well finished. Due to its' lower position, it seems to get delayed signals or lower than normal signals, but still very functional. My only concern is...

    Driving on a Patched/Plugged Tire

    Plug as everyone mentioned is considered temporary, but I installed one DIY and monitored pressure. It lasted the life of the tire. Important thing is to note where the puncture happened. If in the center belt, it is fixable, anything on the shoulders is considered replacement.

    Model Y DIY Xpel Ultimate PPF

    At this point, might as well go the painters tape route.

    My Y is leaking a small puddle

    Also to add, coolant typically is a blue or blue-green color. Clear, it's just water.

    Thanks for this, will try this out. Although, probably not a good idea in the event of a crash.

    Spare Tire Installed!

    I have AAA Premier, which allows for towing 100-200 miles (which came in handy). Tesla RA is much lower.

    Spare Tire Installed!

    This is true. I had the same mentality since I have AAA. Tire blew out in the middle of the desert in the summer (115F). I was stuck there for 3.5 hours waiting for a tow. I now throw in a modern spare on long road trips.

    Phone key suddenly no longer paired?

    I waited a week until I came to the realization that it wasn't going to fix itself and got annoyed from using the card key.

    Loud Metallic Click Sound

    Had the same issue and they lubed up my axle and it was resolved for the most part.

    Phone key suddenly no longer paired?

    This happened to me on my last car update. Car didn't see the phone, phone can see the car. I had to delete the phone key and re-install it on the app. After that I've had no issues since.

    Trunk 12v Plug Not Powering On After Sleep

    This will be my next step if I get annoyed enough. I've run the cables so they are hidden under the headliner and panels, so testing this would be a chore.

    Trunk 12v Plug Not Powering On After Sleep

    I have a dashcam running to a Cellink Neo external LiFePO battery which is plugged into the rear trunk 12v. It used to work seamlessly in which I just set it and forget it and the Cellink charges/discharges automatically when driving. Lately, the 12v doesn't turn back on after the car wakes up...
