    24M3RWD: hitch noise from screen area and adding rear speakers

    We had a similar problem in a 2020 MY. There is a small fan inside the underneath part of the screen mount that circulates cabin air past a sensor. Should be able to access it by pulling off the small cover. Unplug the fan and see if that was the source of the noise. If so, you can order a...

    Premium connectivity question

    Try a re-boot and see it that helps. (hold down both buttons on the steering wheel until the screen goes blank, then wait for the re-boot).

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    Excellent review. Thanks. I also just received the new V12 and drove it for a short trip of just a few miles in rural/urban traffic. After having free V11 after purchasing our 2023 MYLR last August (our 3rd Tesla) I was not impressed. After my short drive, I'm still not impressed...

    Do you think this is something the service center can fix?

    Did you point out these issues at the time of pickup? I'd ask the SC to fix them.

    Should Tesla pay towing for a warranty battery replacement?

    You might want to call them at ‭(877) 798-3752‬ and ask for status, or just give them a little more time.

    Less than 3 weeks from order to delivery

    Last August we ordered our MY LR, red/white, on Friday. Had a VIN on Saturday! Received delivery schedule on Monday for the following Thursday - Sat. We really had to scramble to get financing and insurance in place for Sat delivery, and turn in our leased MY, at a Tesla store 3 hour drive...

    Greyed out chargers

    We noticed the same thing on a recent extended road trip. We re-booted (for another reason - the screen stopped responding to touch - twice!) and haven't noticed the greyed supercharger locations since.

    Lease end question

    Our lease ended a couple months early when we turned in our leased Model Y during delivery of our purchased Mode Y. Our automatic lease payments ended automatically at the time we turned it in.

    Just got my first Tesla

    Congrats on the new Tesla. I'd recommend reading the manual thoroughly. We're on our third Tesla (used 2013 MS, leased 2020 MY, bought 2023 MY) and have had very few maintenance issues. In 8 years, we've been to a service center about 4 times, and one of those was to take delivery of a set of...

    Supercharger question

    If you tap your nav screen, to display the four icons on the upper right, then choose the lightning bolt icon at the bottom of that list, it will display the Supercharger stations nearby. The list includes whether it is a 150kW or 250kW station. Tap on of the pins on the screen, or on the...

    Snow chains

    We have used Auto Socks, a legal alternative to tire chains and very easy to put on and take off, for the last 4 years. Although not often needed for a MY with snow tires and using "off road assist", they work great when needed for conditions or mountain pass signing requirements. They are...

    Wall charger problem

    Be sure there is no debris in either your charging port, or cord plug. Then check the tightness of all electrical connections in the wall charger and at the circuit breaker for the wall charger. Particularly the ground connections. If you're not completely comfortable doing this yourself...

    Rear camera issue

    That's not your backup camera, which would be visible if you are in reverse gear. It's the "new and improved" parking assist image.

    What is this purpose on model x rear trunk?

    Looks to me like it would be an emergency tailgate release. If it doesn't work, perhaps a mobile technician visit could connect the wiring behind it?

    MYLR snow performance

    Regarding the original poster's question about using one or two sets of Auto Socks. I just have one set and put them on the rear tires. It greatly improves traction going up or down hill, and, most importantly, it keeps the rear end from wanting to spin forward when braking going down hill...
