    Anyone have a 6MT car in addition to their Y?

    I still have 2006 Saab 93 Aero 6MT next to my MY. And my observation is I don't like the automatics and just hate CVT's and yes manual gives you a lot of control of the car which is why it is so much better than Auto or CVT in an ICE car but the responsiveness of EV powertrain is so good I feel...

    Tesla and MyQ

    https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/upcoming-features/id/1094/more-about-tesla-s-wifi-garage-door-support-its-cost-and-features There are new details to the story which mentions it may potentially require subscription fee to work. But it still nice to have an extra option for sure.

    7 seat waiting room

    MYLR7 seater red with black interior standard wheels no tow. 2 days ago my EDD changed from end of 9/23-10/8 to 10/22-11-18 today out of nowhere I got a VIN number with EDD 9/25-10/1. Original ODD was 11/5/21 and EDD was all over the place since changing almost every month, sometimes date was...

    Being to meticulous on the issues I found on my model y?

    Scratches, rubber seals, and paint chips are absolutely valid and they should be fixing those but misalignments don't look as bad as some other ones I've seen so I'm not sure if they would even do anything with those. My understanding is as long as you take pictures and request service withing...

    The Safety Score system needs some serious work

    So you spend all this money on a car that can potentially do 0-60 in 2 seconds flat but if you will try to accelerate at even half that speed your insurance premium will go way high does anyone see how messed up this is? Not to mention that you get dinged on your score (and in effect your...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    That is true except once that station is open they don't seem to be limiting that access once it becomes full, as far as I can tell there is no priority for Tesla cars on those stations even when they do get full. And as you know Tesla's in europe already have CCS2 ports so the same approach in...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    Actually they did say exactly that: https://electrek.co/2018/09/16/tesla-ending-free-unlimited-supercharging-era/ "Furthermore, it will result in more vehicles under the company’s paid Supercharging program, which Tesla insists will not be used as a profit center but to finance the expansion of...

    Maintenance costs

    I've done brakes, oil changes and filters all my life on my own cars and I'm not a mechanic by trade it is really not as difficult as people think and requires just basic tools. So unless you are crazy busy/wealthy person you are just throwing money away at $220/hr. As far as trusting Tesla or...

    Ford says no more dealer markup...

    I'm not to upset about dealers charging over MSRP on cars that they have in stock but charging extra on a car that was ordered months in advance for certain price should be illegal. And yet it is very common for someone to wait 6-9 months on a Mach-E and when the car finally shows up the dealer...

    The savings from daily driving a Cheapo car vs new Model 3 devaluation

    In my situation both me and my wife work from home so 90% of the time we only need one car and since we both like nice cars we decided to get a model Y and use it for majority of our needs. Depreciation from mileage is very tricky to calculate in todays car market as the model y I ordered in...

    Horrible 2022 Model Y Tesla Experience

    Reality is things get dinged and scratch all the time and when you are pushing numbers quality will suffer so I always hope for the best but try to prepare for the worst. But for any company that deals with customers it is more about how you go about fixing those issues. And first of all those...

    Cabin Overheat protection

    I could be wrong but I believe this was only happening when the car was preconditioning the battery for the superchargers and since the processors for the touchscreen in newer models are water cooled I believe the bug was that it wasn't just heating up the battery but by mistake it was also...

    Model Y 2170 vs 4680

    what most people don't realize is the type of battery like 2170 or 4680 is just the size of individual cells but what really makes a difference is the battery chemistry which can change whenever Tesla decides. New Model S and X might still be using the old 18650 cells but the chemistry is very...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    If this is just a passthrough device I wonder why no one made a 3rd party adapter as those technically should work as well. If anything it's a business idea for someone!
