    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Closing out this saga for me - mobile service tech came last week and replaced the passenger side campers under warranty. He insisted that this is indeed a warranty issue and the people who communicate via the service app are not well informed. In my case what forced the warranty claim was the...

    Model Y trunk storage with 3rd row

    It is hard to define usable but the removable shelf in that area measures 38x20. I have the MY7, highly recommend anyone doing so also consider purchasing a roof rack and box. I have a Thule XT XL and have a ton of space no matter what.

    Road Trip Experience + Roof Cargo Box Efficiency

    1. 58 was the total number of individual charges that got logged in Teslafi, but some of it was skewed due to a charger that kept going on and off. I would estimate that 75-85% of my juice for the trip came from Superchargers. 2+3 = Teslafi (DM me if you want a referral code)

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Mobile tech shows up today to replace the camera I successful got covered under warranty. Service center sent him the wrong camera (LH vs RH). 😡 He did install my Homelink so not a total waste. What I did find interesting was his insistence that this is absolutely a warranty issue and the...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    After a bit of back and forth and many photos sent, my cost estimate was updated to $0. I think the fact that it was only happening on one side couldn’t be argued as working as designed.

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Their latest response to me is that I may have a new camera on one side but not the other. My response to that is that is it tantamount to different brands of tires on the same axle and this alone constitutes a manufacturing issue. I have asked how I can escalate my warranty claim to a higher...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    I have the issue on only the passenger side, as previously shown. Today service got back to me with a less than desirable note about my upcoming appointment: "We found the blind spot camera performance on older vehicles is neither a defect of materials or workmanship. It is a characteristic of...

    Blocked pillar camera alerts

    This has occurred once for me since latest update and appeared to be moisture + sunlight related. I was able to clear the moisture by running heat on high for a few mins in my garage.

    Latest Software Update?

    So far nobody in the Teslafi fleet has the promised holiday update. Maybe the Grinch stole it?

    Holiday Update

    I just got 2021.44.6 and don’t see any of this. What am I missing? Isn’t that the latest?

    Taking home a Christmas tree

    Thinking about a month ahead, wondering how I can easily bring back a 6-7’ Christmas tree on my Y. I have the factory rails but there are no tie downs. Anyone able to successfully do this last year? Or are some aftermarket tie downs available?

    Road Trip Experience + Roof Cargo Box Efficiency

    I had zero concerns going as fast as 85-90 during the 2500 mile trip. On 2 stops midway i was able to tighten the clamps a little but I don’t think it was necessary as there was no give. They are able to cross over to an extent on factory rails. Even the wind noise was not excessive.

    Road Trip Experience + Roof Cargo Box Efficiency

    For roof racks Thule specifically says not to put it backwards. I trust the manufacturer more than that youtuber. My efficiency hit was so minimal I wouldn’t try to void my warranty and do something potentially unsafe. Another consideration is that a hitch box may block your rear camera. It...
