The thing that upset me has nothing to do with the EPA. I’ve aired those grievances (and will continue doing so!). What irks me is Musk’s behavior, instructing staff to algorithmically rig the readouts to provide inaccurate projections of distance and remaining battery life, particularly when...

Has everyone seen this news?! Tesla’s Real-World And EPA Range Significantly Different: Recurrent Data Analytical findings from 12K vehicles showed that Teslas achieve ~60% of their advertised range in 70-90F temps, and only ~45% in 30F temps. That gives you - AT BEST - 200 miles of range in a...

I went in for service on this and gave Tesla the approximate time window when it occurred 2 weeks in advance of the appointment, but they said they'd really need a 10-minute window to pinpoint the occurrence because anything longer - even a 30 minute window - would be too difficult to assess...

My new MY now has this problem AFTER Tesla Service tried addressing another trunk issue (actuator wasn’t working, so I had to pull up HARD to get the trunk to open). After getting that issue fixed, I now need to force my trunk closed. In my case, the trunk originally had more of a panel gap on...

Curious if anyone has had this issue resolved. I took my MY in for service because the trunk wasn’t opening, but after I got it back, the trunk started having problems closing (it won’t lock now and remains slightly ajar until forcefully pushed closed). HOWEVER, my trunk is now randomly opening...

Would you consider going back to a Bolt EUV? If not, why not? Very curious what you think here. Sadly, I continue to be disappointed with this mileage aspect of ownership, and it's quite significant to me. Many others don't seem bothered by it, but the fact remains that if Tesla didn't have a...

Trunk on my new Model Y won't open. Curious if anyone else has had this issue whereby the touchscreen unlock will activate to unlock the trunk but will immediately lock it again without the trunk automatically opening. Similarly, manually touching the rear button on the trunk itself will unlock...

Sadly, no, and I haven't figured out how to fix the issue either. I've heard that people who are using Tesla's home charger don't have the same issue, but those of us using another brand are stuck with this. One would think that Tesla could simply recognize when I'm at "home" per the vehicle's...

Lucky you! I posted the picture in my original post so you can see for yourself - I'm not sure what there is to disagree with there. It exemplifies what I've experienced from Day 1.

To be clear, I'm not discounting the value of the supercharging network (it's awesome, unrivaled, and will be for a while), or saying the Bolt has many advantages (road trips aren't feasible in a Bolt, but it is half the price and has noticeably better build quality, which also surprised me!)...

As a relatively new owner with <3,000 miles on my 2022 long range MY (Austin, TX build), I've been pretty unimpressed with the range I'm getting. Not that I have any solutions here, but just to commiserate, I bought the long range model in hopes of getting to Boston without having to charge...

As someone who's weathered through everything from slushy "Cascade concrete" to the salty, icy conditions of Vermont, NH and Quebec, I'd recommend the Nokians. I've been running studded Hakkapelittas for years and I'm about to get the Hakkapelitta 10EV for my new LR MY. Performance snows work...

I'm having this same issue and I'm at a loss here. I suspect it has to do with the fact that I'm now using an adapter to charge at home (just installed a new ChargePoint charger that requires using the adapter). At first I thought it was a location-related bug in the newest software release...

Anyone have a solution for preventing the doors from locking at home, or getting home charging stats to accrue under "home" rather than "other?" Doors: Since the last software update in early/mid Oct '22, my doors have been locking automatically when I'm at home even though I've checked the box...

Anyone aware of quality *flexible* mudflaps - front and rear - besides Rally Armor? Molded plastic isn't an option for harsh winters, and I'm a little reticent to pay $185 for less than 2 square feet of polyurethane.
