is the ice forming from overnight dew accumulation? In your situation, I’m gonna guess that the lack of headliner insulation and more glass (relative to most ICE cars) kept the interior temperature of your Tesla close enough to ambient so that dew didn’t form. At least this makes sense to me!

They were definitely available in 235/55R18 which, yup, is still a little oversized. I’m not sure if they come in the 50 aspect ratio. I specifically wanted the highest possible sidewall (without any suspension upgrades) to experience any ride quality improvements first hand. I had Discount...

I wanted to share my initial impressions and first 1,000 miles on an oversized set of 235/60R18 tires on the Model Y. Ride quality has been overall improved. It’s not Mercedes S-class level of plush or quiet, but it’s much more compliant and muted than before. There’s a clear “pang” sound at...

I finally started downloading 2023.44.30.6. It’s late, but I’ll take it!

I haven’t gotten mine yet :(. I got an email about the features, but nothing!

I updated to 2023.27.7 on October 21st, too. I hope I get the newest software version soon. Don’t wanna wait anymore. It’s been so long!

Definitely correct. A cold front blew in and the problem hid itself until I ran a couple errands back to back (which heated up the steering rack). I took my Y in yesterday and a tech immediately said, “steering rack is going out”. So they took it in and gave me a (poopy) loaner. Estimated...

Model Y 2023 dual motor LR with about 1,000 miles. I had this same issue start this past Saturday. Steering wheel feels like it’s got notches—just like a second hand on a clock face has 60 detents all around the face. Hard to drive in a straight line since i’m alternating between one detent and...

I just took a look because I was curious. They go for $1,181.95?! That’s insane lol. I think I got mine (used) for $400. They pop up on FB marketplace and CL every once in a while.

I disassembled the shank from the cargo box for easier handling. I used an angle grinder and a 4.5” cut off wheel. Had to rotate the shank 3 times to cut deep enough all the way around. I used an electric hand drill for the hole. It would be preferable to have a drill press since it’s difficult...

I like data as much as the next guy, but I'm gonna come out and just say it: there's absolutely no way that at a -14% range hit is representative of the energy consumption penalty with a roof-top cargo box. I had a 11 cu-ft Thule cargo box (which has a smaller cross-sectional area as yours) that...

got it! Before splurging on these, I will try to crack open the existing housings to see if the bulbs can be replaced. Then try to seal them back up.

Nice! I tried opening the light assemblies to swap in LEDs, but they were sealed super tight so I gave up. Did you replace the entire plastic assemblies? Or is there a good way to crack them open for modification? I remember the halogen incandescent bulbs pulling over 7 amps when braking which...

Correct, I can no longer use the Thule Transporter Combi box on a 1.25" hitch--only 2" hitch receivers unless I purchase or weld my own adapter. Pictures attached. To cut the shank, I basically measured the clearance I wanted from the trunk + an inch or so and then used an angle grinder with a...

Do you have a factory hitch and wiring harness by any chance? It may think the wiring harness is connected to a trailer and because of that disabled AP. I have everything aftermarket, so it isn’t an issue for me.
