    Anybody want a free Model Y Cargo Cover in the Tahoe Area?

    The person who was going to pick this up, wasn't able to, so it's still available if anybody wants it. Otherwise, I think I'm just going to toss it.

    Anybody want a free Model Y Cargo Cover in the Tahoe Area?

    I didn’t try a test with music, so I’m not sure. But no audible difference to my ears regarding road noise

    Anybody want a free Model Y Cargo Cover in the Tahoe Area?

    I've got an unused Model Y Cargo Cover. I really don't like it, and the amount of noise it blocks is not worth the inconvenience of it existing and being in my way. I did some decibel meter noise tests with and without. On my local very bumpy street during a 2 mile test, I averaged 65.7...

    MYLR snow performance

    The Subaru I had before the Model Y had better clearance for deep snow days and could make it down some steep icy driveways in Subaru’s X-Mode that Tesla’s off-road mode still slips on (both with winter tires.) Also, the door handles constantly freeze shut. But, that said, the Model Y is a very...

    MYLR snow performance

    I live in Tahoe and we got about 700 inches last year. The Model Y is definitely not as good as a Subaru in snow, but it is surprisingly good. I do use winter tires, though I’ve found that engaging Off-Road mode make a big difference sliding a slow soeeds on icy roads going downhill (even with...

    Kayak & Canoe Tie Down Points

    @solarman How did you attach the front ones? I have the same tie down bolts, but I don't see and bolts to remove from the front vents. Did you just drill into the plastic? Thanks

    Can bears sniff through the car?

    I live north of Lake Tahoe, and about once every two weeks someone post a neighborhood video of a bear breaking into a car because of something as innocuous as a candy wrapper. They’ve learned to open cars with their door handles, so many people lock their cars at night. I’ve always wondered if...

    Camping mattress to sleep in Model Y?

    I just received this mattress specially made for the Model Y this week. To be fair, I haven't done an overnight with it, and have only tested it, but it auto-inflates really fast, deflates itself, locks into the seatbelts for built-in pillow support and is designed to plug right into the Model Y...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    23 Model Y - Michelin Ice-X tires, S3XY button to continually turn on Off-Road mode. 560" of snow so far this season and it's still doing okay.

    Traction control devices for snow (California)

    I live in Tahoe. As previous posters have said R3 generally means they just close the road. All Season tires don’t count as snow tires, but they never check. That said, real winter snow tires make a huge difference on the MY. Off-Road mode also makes a huge difference and I installed a S3XY...

    Snow in the WC charge cable connector

    I ran into the same issue today, and ended up using a hairdryer for about 5 minutes

    Apple Watch

    I ended up uninstalling the phone and watch app and then reinstalling and re-pairing. That fixed the issue

    Apple Watch

    Thanks, I did see that, but it’s more of a review and skips some of the steps unfortunately.

    Apple Watch

    Has anybody had luck getting the new Bluetooth connectivity in Watch for Tesla to work? Mine connects as a key, but then doesn’t function as a fob even with the app open.
