    Towing vehicle flashing up on rear sensor....

    have the same issue when i tow the jetski and figured its a software thing. there must be a reason why it keeps the rear camera visualization even in tow mode.

    Punctured tire/question

    just plugged mine other day and so far no bubbles and holding air. its borderline sidewall but it was a clean puncture so i expect it to hold and carry the plug kit and tools if it springs a leak. tire has 12k on it and hopefully will last. used this kit. also available at walmart...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    homelink is a dumb system and doesn't know the door status so it sometimes operates as unintended. like when someone already has the door open when you arrive it will close it. imagine if another vehicle is in the garage with hatch open to unload groceries and you happen to arrive. also if...

    Homelink and 2023 Holiday Software Bug?

    auto close/open with homelink is asking for trouble. i washed the car on the driveway then pulled forward a bit then started backing into the garage. when i pulled forward it thought i was leaving and started closing the door. i was only looking at the side mirror and luckily caught a glimpse...

    High pitched whine at 33MPH and 49-50MPH

    check this thread...issue is likely misaligned perimeter seal under the back seat. you can try stuffing foam around the perimeter under the back seat or tesla can replace the seal. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/high-frequency-noise-hum-new-model-y.267185/

    How to justify Tow Hitch?

    that extension at least doubled the length which also means force exerted on the hitch is now doubled. this effectively reduces the hitch load capacity to 80lb or in your case only 50lb cargo.

    Wiper Blade Replacement Tesla Model Y

    wipers on 23 mylr bought in march started squeaking so replaced with these silicone refills. seems to be good wiping on initial testing but will have to see about longevity. at $13 for 10 refills, its much cheaper than buying a full blade set. i used to only use refills but assumed they were...

    Steering Wheel Bubbling From Heat - Warranty?

    doesn't seem so according to the manual. unfortunately bubbling would be considered cosmetic damage.

    2022 MYP GPS stuck, no cameras, cannot sleep

    late update but issue kept coming back. took it in and they ended up replacing the "computer" and no more problems. in the process they created some other minor issues but nothing a mobile visit and another trip to the sc couldn't fix...smh.,..

    Hope everyone’s Sunday is going better than ours

    ouch...i thought seat belts were supposed to stop forward motion but i guess this being a rear end collision it might act differently. might want to have the seat belt inspected to make sure it functions properly if they go the repair route. it would be lot more than a bump if it was a front...

    Hope everyone’s Sunday is going better than ours

    i would hope for a total. if they go the repair route it prob won't be same again and now there is mark on the vehicle history which will affect resale value. curious how wife bumped her head on the dash. was she not wearing a seatbelt? anyway, keep on the lookout for symptoms as it could...
