    Navigation changes (US to EU)

    What is that exactly? I took my Y to Rome service center and they replaced the Sim, but GPS still cannot navigate. I've been quoted to swap the modem and sim from a third party in this forum but was asking for too much. It looks like Hanshow with Apple Carplay/Android Auto is the best and most...

    3 or Y and Why !?

    Lol. No, no more. We have four and that's it. My Y is the backup to our family hauler. We got the 7-seater JIC the primary broke down.

    3 or Y and Why !?

    I initially placed an order for a model 3 to replace my BMW 535D, but the wife made some good points and convinced me to get the model Y instead. I have not personally compared the 3 and Y side by side as I purchased the Y sight unseen, but I'm glad I went with the Y. IMO, the Y is better for...

    If not this Tesla what?

    Before I moved to Sicily for work, I visited for a month to scope out the area. Back in the US, I had a BMW 535D as my commuter but knew the car was too wide for the narrow streets and parking, and too big to zip around town. So I began window shopping. I considered the Alfa Romeo Giulia...

    New tweet from Tesla: will sell their own CCS adaptor “soon” in North America

    You're right, CCS1 and CCS2 are different. I realized CCS2 is what's out here and the adapter is for CCS1. :( Thanks for pointing that out. There is a company who can make it work, but I'm not sure if it's worth the money with regards to my length of stay here. Guess I'll stay with my Type 2...

    Thanks for the input. I'll just wait til Tesla releases their CCS1 adapter in the US. Seems like the best route.

    Car Vibration Troubleshooting

    Just had this happen recently. After experiencing the vibration after traveling 70+ mph, the car started vibrating violently to the point that my passenger seat was shaking. It sounded and felt like the back windows were down creating a pulsating effect, but worse. I took it to Tesla and they...

    Extremely fragile top glass roof - Model Y

    :D🤣 Good one! Glad your child is okay. I agree with @GOVA's post, it's better that it was the glass and not your child's head. That'd be a different story, but unfortunate nonetheless. I'll make sure to pass this along to my children.

    They have, but my Y is a US-Spec, not EU.

    US-Spec Tesla in Sicily

    Hi Omega and everyone, coming back here to update and share my experience since my initial question to hopefully provide some information for future military members and expats wanting to bring their US-Spec Tesla in Europe. Shipping - It was a nightmare solely due to the shipping company, not...

    What electrical plug should I install..

    I brought my US MY here in Europe. I bought a US Tesla charger and had it installed here. Haven't had any issues so far and it's been working flawlessly.
