Does it make sense to do DIY this now by ordering parts ourselves? I have a 2020 MY and wondering whether that $125 of labor is worth saving. Also, I read somewhere that the older MY does not have the mounting points which could steps to the DIY route. Does the HEPA filter work efficiently...

This could be due to low refrigerant. Is your car heating well?

Can these be swapped by ourselves and save $60?

The error started appearing on mine after a sensor replacement as well. There was a software update as well, not sure whether it was just coincidental.

I am not sure. I didn't get an opportunity to talk to the service advisor. I had that mount for almost 16 months. It is possible that the bolts were too long. But very similar to the ones in that Etsy listing.

I had it linked in my post, here it is No-hole Tesla Model 3 or Model Y Front License Plate | Etsy I didn't buy that from that etsy seller, I got the bolts from Lowe's.

Got the car back in 2 days. They replaced the sensors and recharged the system. They also removed my license plate installation, which was a DIY like this one.

Some SCs allow you to drop in the vehicle earlier than the appointment date if it is an urgent issue. I recommend contacting the local service center over the phone and talking to them.

Can someone post a picture of their wheels now that the wheel covers are not spanking new? I felt that most pictures have mismatched finishes for wheel covers and tires where the wheel covers are brand new and the tires have some dirt. Thanks in advance.

Can you please post your invoice? That way I can ask my SC to preorder parts. Also, how long did they take for the fix? Do you think the mobile service could handle the fix?

Please keep us posted on how it goes. We have the same issue with our MY. The error happened right after the car was picked up after a windshield replacement from Tesla SC. I noticed that they had replaced some sensors while the car was in for the windshield replacement. They want us to drop the...

So had a chat with the shop while picking up the car. He said that the new single-piece casting doesn't help with repairs as it will result in more cars considered totaled. It may make it easier to manufacture but doesn't help in case of an accident. Model Y has a rear bottom bracket inside the...

I wasted time doing this, they are backlogged and recommended to go to a body shop from this list that doesn't say TESLA

Got the car back after repairs, it costed ~$6000. They replaced the tailgate and painted most of the rear side of the car. The car was in the shop for only 8 days since I had them pre-order the parts before dropping it for repairs. The other party's insurance paid for everything including...

Our Model Y is our primary vehicle and the CRV is used only when the Y is not available(my spouse uses the Y for her commute). We love taking the Y everywhere. It can fit all our Costco shopping and the sub trunk is very useful. Some have recommended reducing the tire pressure to soften the...
