I keep wanting to get another model S but these threads scare me away. I leased 2016 model S p100D that had the 15-30 mph problem. Had front motor replaced and this did not do anything. Luckily, it was during this period that Tesla had the 90 day lease "happiness guarantee" where I could...

I leased a 2016 P90D with exactly this wind whistle problem. Super annoying. After many visits to the service center, they could not fix it. I returned the car at that time when the happiness guarantee was still in effect (i.e. return for lease payments to date). I own a Tesla y and am in...

I disagree. TACC is not "great". minimum following distance has been reduced to a "2". 1 is not available. So TACC is now useless to me as I don't like or feel safe with the hordes of cars that cut in front of me due to the excessive minimum following distance when using TACC. Tesla used to...

When I purchased my 2023 Model Y in December, there may have been an acknowledgement check mark in some box in small print related to the lack of parking assist, blind spot detection etc. due to the removal of USS. But it was one of many check marks. I totally focus on the details of any car...

I will test it out. The problem is that the tesla cameras are Not properly locating cars in the blind spot. So I will see if they turn red even though they are not in the right place.

I guess I am “this guy”. No, on 2023 model y, cars in your blind spot do not turn red on the screen and they are not properly represented as to their location relative to your vehicle.

depends on the city/region. sometimes apple maps better than google and sometimes vice versa. carplay interface is easier to follow when viewing and selecting alternative routes.

I wouldn't trust anything that a Tesla employee tells you. It is always qualified and lying is frequent. As to USS and parking help, I have a new 2023 model Y. It is a real pain to not have park assist. Definitely slows things down when getting into and out of parking spaces. However...

yes, but multiple steps to get to the same endpoint. less efficient.

You have favorite destinations/friend addresses on your maps app or contacts on your phone. CarPlay let’s you choose one and go. Apple dynamic traffic routing in maps app is better than Tesla’s. Or you have an option which one to use. In my BMW I go back and forth between CarPlay and BMW nav...

Big issue with lack of USS and software upgrade for "Tesla Vision" that I haven't seen anyone talking about. I have a 2023 Model Y. No Park assist, no chimes, distance etc. However, I was told that the blind spot detection as shown in the pictures of cars around yours in the center screen was...

I’m the guy who rejected a model y 45 days ago when it didn’t have matrix headlights on arrival and ended up keeping my Subaru. Mentioned this to a tesla store manager and he put me in his system. Got a call 2 weeks ago that he confirmed a model y coming from Fremont vin 615xxx with matrix...

Congrats. Mine must not have been a Fremont build (delivery to denver). Maybe I will try again in a few months.

Quoting from consumer reports review of model y LR:” the low beams lack sufficient forward light in the right travel lane to allow a driver sufficient time to see, react and brake for anything ahead except when driving at slow speeds. “ what excuse am I inventing?

Acceptable = Marginal. Only other rating is poor. If you are driving 80 mph (speed limit on Wyoming) in dark and rainy conditions, Teslas normal headlights are unacceptable in a car of this caliber. They have improved relative to the initial ones on my Model S which were atrocious but they are...
