I believe it is a bug as well. My 2022 Model Y had GPS failure, no cameras, etc. immediately after a software update. The service center replaced the car computer, which fixed it, and the problem did not return. But I don't think the computer hw was the root cause. it is too much of a...

Did only the navigation fail? Or did cameras and active safety features also fail?

Good luck! I had cameras and GPS fail. MCU replacement (Ryzen) was the fix.

I have an appointment scheduled for Tuesday, but I went in person to talk to the Service Center on Saturday to see if they can take me in early. They said come first thing Monday and they’ll fit me in. Last night (Sunday) I wanted to see if maybe a 12v reset and a HV reset might do the trick...

While your GPS was not working, were the cameras affected?

I have a 2022 Model Y LR, and this just happened to me yesterday. Thursday night (17 Aug 2023) the vehicle received SW update 2023.26.8, Friday morning (18 Aug 2023) at some point during the morning drive GPS stopped working, all cameras stopped working, auto headlights stopped working, etc. so...

Yup, when I lived in Georgia and sunny southern CA, the wipers lasted about 3 years on average for me. Since moving to Boston, with the amount of rain, snow, grime/dirt, salt, etc. they now last about 9 months. I believe from what others have posted, Tesla uses Bosch as their wiper blade...

Yup! The Tesla OEM wiper blades work great. I’m also a big fan of Rain-X Latitude wiper blades. Previously I never had an issue with Costco Michelin wiper blades with my other car, but I guess Model Y wiper arms are more powerful than what Michelin designed them for. I see now that...

This is for the 2022 Model Y. A couple months ago I purchased two sets of Michelin Guardian Hybrid wiper blades, 26" for the driver side and 20" for the passenger side. I installed these the Model Y using the narrow push tab/button adapter on Wednesday 24 May 2023. When I gave it a quick swipe...

Great advice, but DT/AT does not operate in the northeast for some reason. I've lived in Washington, Colorado, Georgia, California, etc. and always loved having a Discount/America's Tire nearby, always. But in Massachusetts, none are to be found in the state (and neighboring states). So while...

Great tip about getting Tesla BT TPMS on eBay! Looks like the gray market for these is alive and well. Too bad I didn't know about it, and ended up overpaying for them on Tesla.com. Oh well, they last 10+ years so it's basically a one time expense. Also, I've previously had great experience...

Awesome to hear about good performance from your Michelin X-Ice Snow! I have them on my 2015 Prius and they are excellent. But you're totally right about Costco, what a pain in the ass. Really unfortunate that we don't have Discount Tire / America's Tire in the northeast.

Great question! I didn’t ask because they were adding hours of work to my day, and I got out of there quickly just to get on with it. Logically speaking, I see no reason why they would withhold benefits. Road hazard coverage should be completely unaffected by Tesla TPMS vs Costco TPMS. But on...

Living outside Boston, winter tires are definitely highly recommended, and I would say a necessity for someone like me that 1 enjoys skiing on the weekends and 2 occasionally must go to work in person regardless of weather. I wanted to build an 18 inch setup for more sidewall height, lighter...

Thanks! While not as exciting and not as highly anticipated as the first Model Y, the car is just a great replacement for the 2006 Honda Accord. The QC defects also don’t concern me nearly as much this time around, having experienced Tesla service experience. They’re not great but they always...
