Found these two places by googling "Tesla repair Auckland" and skipping that actual Tesla links: Tesla Panelbeating | North Shore’s Certified Tesla Accident Repairs. Official Tesla Repairs & Body Repairer, Auckland | Precision AutoWerk Maybe you could call them and see if it's something they...

Happened to be out in the car on a mix of roads and streets last night and it was the first time I had seen the Matrix headlights doing their adaptive business. Have to say it was pretty impressive. You dont see anything on well lit roadways, but as soon as you get somewhere with less traffic...

If it is a bit of paint that got scraped on to the the Tesla from say a white garage door, then try a little Methylated spirits on a cloth. Meths removes acrylic paint scrapes off cars very well. Amazing how many people have a bumper scrape from a fence post or low wall and end up with a...

Hardly the end of the world if you dont have them I reckon, but it's nice that they fitted the hardware, didn't advertise it and have (finally) switched the functionality on - for free. I like that Tesla does deliver things (with OTA updates) that effectively improve the car that you originally...

I don't know when Tesla started installing Matrix Headlights as standard. It looks like it was quite hit and miss for a while - depending on which plant the vehicle came from - particularly in the States. I saw on one reddit thread "In december 2020, the first cars were delivered with these...

Well as mentioned previously, on the Model Y, 2024.8.7 (downloaded and installed on the 4th April in NZ) enabled the matrix headlights a week ago. Check under the menu for lights and see if there is now a menu option for adaptive headlights.

Model Y got 2024.8.7 tonight. They have fixed the indicator display to sensible arrows rather than a small arrow inside a green circle. Adaptive headlights is also available (ie the matrix headlights). Not sure what else.

Surely the fact the indicator stalks have been removed on the new model 3.....

Put a bit of tape over it to stop it moving. If the noise stops, you have verified that it's the cause of your noise. It would seem it just pops out Model Y Front Door Reflector or light? Maybe it has a broken clip that lets it move about too much. You could try a little bit of doublesided tape...

Have been down to Tauranga a couple of times since buying a Model Y - The area seems a bit 'light' on chargers. Will be very happy if they build some there.

For the record, you did start three threads: Gyeon leather shield - smoke while applying?! Gyeon Leather Shield Streaks in black seats?! GYEON LeatherShield - Stay Away I guess the issue with a 'leather' coating is that leather is probably ok with having a bit of a 'shine' on it and leather...

I suspect that Tesla will never be able to 'fix' the wiper issue. Other manufacturers install a rain sensor that probably costs a couple of bucks at most and have reasonable sucess. Tesla has tries to use the whole camera thing with heaps of computer power and cant get it to work reliably. I...

If you want to be pedantic, Cars have Head Restraints Does this video help:

Well obviously Tesla do not use leather on their upholstery - so there is that. But on the brochure I found for that product you mention, it does say: You may apply the product on high quality artificial leather And I did find mention of it being ok on other surfaces: Works on both natural...

I have a model Y that just got this update today. Haven't tested it yet. However, I was north of Auckland on Sunday and went through quite a few roadworks and it was working very well before that update. I was driving into town (towards the Harbour Bridge) and next to the motorway are the...
