I would say that the slider for adjusting the fan was a bad idea. Feel like it’s less safe than before since I’m now messing with the slider rather than just tapping a button real quick.

I have been using a touch less car wash since the spring and no issues on my Y. Not sure if Tesla did something to correct the issue or the wash place I use doesn’t use the type of soap that causes the problem or not but so far so good.

State of charge doesn’t seem to be an issue as this happens no where close to 90%. I’d say I’ve seen happen lower than 50%. Pretty sure I was close to 30% once and saw it happen.

I live in Denver and make frequent trips to Summit County. I’ve noticed that on our way back to Denver from the mountains-there is always a time where I loose a bit of regen along the way. Just wondering what the loss of regen could be from? We have a 3 and Y and happens in both cars...

Yea. It think most people are going to be shocked that in order for any car to do vehicle to grid-some “stuff” needs to be done to the house and just won’t work out of the box.

They don’t have “hidden” fees but at least in Colorado they don’t pay all of the taxes that the state collects so the amount you have to pay to register your car will likely be higher than other cars. Pretty sure I had to pay around $3k at registration.

The regen takes a day or 2 to get the hang of but I would say no one would notice riding around with someone that drives a Tesla everyday. You never just take your foot off the accelerator as would cause a jerky experience.

The Y performance has staggered 21 inch wheels. The long rang Y has either 19 or 20 inch wheels. These like likely the the cause of most of the range difference between the 2 cars. Also the larger wheels are more expensive to replace, are strictly “summer tires” and are difference sizes between...

I picked up my car and paid for it on the day of pick up without issues via on line transfer. Not sure about the savings account. I initially saw a link via the app to get into my bank accounts and select the account I wanted to pay for. I tested it out a few days before delivery but didn’t pay...

Sad to hear. Question though-can autopilot be engaged when no one is in the driver’s seat? My guess would be “no” but not sure.

I have a 7-seater and all current mats will fit the first and second row. Haven’t seen anything yet for the 3-row nor the trunk area. I personally bought the Tesla all weather mats and can confirm they fit perfectly.

Don’t know abiut Don’t know about this. When I picked up my car a few weeks ago it had a update ready to download at the service center during my pick up. Waited till I got home before I installed.

I plan on the full wrap and ceramic. Like the ability just to hose off the car and get it mostly clean.

The Mach E looks like a reasonable car but I never once considered any American auto maker to be of “high quality”. Always leaned toward foreign builds until Tesla which was my first “American Made” car.

Huh. I would have expected this feature to have been released by now. I have 2 gen 2 HPWC’s that load share and they work great. Wasn’t really sure I needed 2 but when I saw that the 3rd gen wasn’t able to power share with the 2nd gen-decided it was now or never if I wanted that feature.
