    10% better range by servicing brakes

    Interesting. I have the same brakes on my MY. I also did the rears about a month ago, but didn’t do the fronts for the same reason as you. What do you need to do with the fronts? I know you need an E18 and you have to remove the caliper and pads. Is it just cleaning up the pad mounting points...

    FSD impending 5th strike

    I got a 5th strike a week and a half ago. My FSD was restored 2 days later with all my strikes reset.

    Why is my model Y interior all carpet?

    I’ve owned quite a few vehicles and I’ve never owned one with anything other than carpet on the floor. So yes, this is normal.

    Tesla new steer-by-wire, that'll be a HELL NO for me....

    Initially the idea of steer-by-wire seemed a little concerning, but that is an excellent way of thinking about it. Airliner implementation of fly-by-wire has actually improved safety.

    Is $14,000 an acceptable price for a single powerwall and installation?

    I paid $20,000 to have 2 Powerwalls installed in SE Michigan last spring. This was in addition to having a 12.24kW solar system installed. $28K seems high, but it’s possible prices have gone up since last year.

    $465 dollar charge for a loss of tire pressure?

    I had a leak in one of the tires on my Model Y. I took it to Discount Tire and they repaired it for free, even though I didn’t buy the tires from them. I would definitely recommend that route, as Tesla will likely just try to sell you new tires even if it can be repaired.

    Tesla FSD 10.69.3.1 going to wide release now

    I’m on FSD 10.69.2.4. It’s showing no updates available. When will this be available to existing FSD owners?

    FSD Beta 10.69

    The lane change logic can be awful on occasion. I’m on 10.69.2.4 and I’ve had multiple instances where I’m turning left soon and about to get into the left turn lane and the car will randomly decide it wants to change to the right lane, causing me to intervene to stop it. It seems like of all...

    Factory Build Update Wait (SW 2022.11.101.1)

    I took delivery on May 7th and I’m also still stuck on 2022.11.101.1 . I was also hoping to get FSD beta, but no luck yet.

    Wall charger installation question

    Disclaimer: I’m not an electrician. The white wire (neutral) isn’t needed for the wall charger. You just need the red and black (the 2 hots) and the bare wire (ground). I would simply put a wire nut over the end of the unneeded white neutral wire to protect it.

    What battery is on my model Y

    I think Tesla is still installing radar on Model Y for international markets, but not in US vehicles. They have never installed LiDAR.

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I ordered a MYLR on October 18th. The estimated delivery date at the time of order was April, which has stayed the same since I ordered. However, I checked my status yesterday and it was changed to June. I checked again this morning, and now I have somehow already been assigned a VIN and I...

    No wonder used Teslas cost more than new!

    I don’t think it’s the wheels. I ordered yesterday with Gemini wheels and once you add on other options- I added on the hitch and 3rd row, which raise the price, the estimate goes back to April. I think they’re prioritizing the more expensive orders first.

    Powerwall Backorders

    Yes that’s possible, but I was told in February that they received 40 in October, 30 in November, 30 in December, 35 in January, and 50 in February. They were also expecting 50 more in March 50, 35 in April April, 50 in May, and 50 in June 50. At the same time another installer said they weren’t...

    As requested by someone here, these are pics taken in the past 2 months of the in-stock Powerwalls from the company that did my install.
