    Steering wheel leather coming loose

    Did they replace the wheel? My 8month old Y has some vegan leather coming loose behind the 3 o clock indentation area. Annoying as that’s where my fingers rest all the time. Flappy loose leather. Ugh.

    Rear door closing terrible rattle and glass sounds

    Yup I’ve confirmed on newer builds they slam shut solid. Def a manufacturing issue that plagues older builds, up to 2022 models.

    Side mirror not fully opening when cold

    Anyone else with this issue? I’m not in a freezing snow climate but it can go down to 32 on occasion. This morning was 37 and one side mirror struggles to fully open when unlocking the car and then kind of stays in a limp inbetween state. Folding and unfolding from the screen doesn’t fix it...

    Rear door closing terrible rattle and glass sounds

    any newer builds still having this issue? I’ve heard that non US Ys don’t rattle when closing the rear doors.

    Rolling feeling under driver side floor

    Nope. Just chalked it up to bits and bobs of the front motor and suspension doing traction control abs thing. Our rwd teslas don’t make as much of a fuss up front on the same curbs but still make some noise in the rear.

    Lower side sill trim pitted?

    Wondering if the trim could be sanded down to smooth out the pits.

    Rain - reverse camera

    I don’t have fsd but there’s no way I would trust it’s rear “vision” due to the water spot build up issue. Without radar I’m not sure how a blurred view would work for fsd or human vision.

    Lower side sill trim pitted?

    Anyone else with pitted side sills towards the rear wheel well? Pic is under the rear doors where the side sill meets the start of the rear wheel arch trim. Aside from a recent road trip with lots of rain, no fire roads, trails etc. regular car wash mitt doesn’t make a difference. Some pieces...

    Rain - reverse camera

    our y and 3 undoubtedly have the worst rain blur issues we’ve experienced. Once you get reliant on the backup camera, it can be jarring when you need to back up in the dark with rain pouring. Rain x doesn’t help. Wondering if a simple lens roof/lip could help but if it’s water splashing up, then...

    Problems with BayArea FasTrak on Model Y

    Newbie to fastrak. I have the cav device and mounted behind the display on the flat spot. I’ve never used it for tolls but do I just set to one passenger for me driving solo and just cruise through the fastrak lanes? Is there any confirmation that it worked?

    Rearview mirror housing rattle/vibrations

    don’t skimp and get this $10 tool. The sprudger on the far right is what worked for me.

    Unopened Tesla Tequila For Sale

    Is the plastic sticker seal the only thing that proves it’s unopened?

    Wtb. Tesla tequila unopened. Bay Area.

    Dm me with pics and price. Thanks.

    Rearview mirror housing rattle/vibrations

    I’ve concluded that it’s just a poorly designed piece with too many plastic pieces flexing and creating rattles, buzzes etc. it’s not just that cable holder, it’s all the tabs inside the cover and the pieces that attach to the glass. our 3 does none of this but the triple camera housing is...

    Rear door closing terrible rattle and glass sounds

    I know the rear doors simply do not close with a solid thunk, esp compared to the front doors of the Y or the rear doors of the 3 which are solid. Any home fixes to reduce the glass rattling noise when closing the rear doors? My rear doors click and clack when opening and even worse when...
