    Los Angeles to Grand Canyon in SR- Y (Recommendations)

    Please share your experience too as I want to visit Grand Canyon sometime next month or so. I have an SR MY too. Not sure how it will route from LA, here are some details of someone who travelled from San Diego. Note that it's an LR MY

    Will I get the car into my garage?

    Door width 88 inches = 223cm. Inside garage Wall to wall 108 inches = 274cm I don't fold my mirrors as I use them to adjust the sides. In fact, I use them as reference. I back up in such a way that the right side mirror barely touches (~ 1 inch away) the rubber flange. This helps me have the...

    Lessons learned from a 2300 mile road trip

    Something similar happened to me when I stopped at Temecula,CA to charge. Navigation directed me to a shopping center/mall. There was a parking garage as well as open parking lots. So, I was clearly confused where to go. On entering the very busy parking garage, I was again confused where to...

    Not sure if the car has exact config in China. They have this model still available. May be, somebody there did this test?

    Model Y, no blind spot warning?

    BSM is an extra convenience, not the safety system that you solely rely on. Having such a convenience ease the driving comfort by quite a lot. If you see that your BSM flashes yellow/orange indicating that something is in your blind spot, you don't even need to look through your shoulder. If it...

    The glass roof is like having a giant heater which is always on

    Living in SoCal, I felt the roof shade to be a must have. With a roof shade, I feel that things have improved quite a lot. Not going to take it off until October. For my case, I go for hiking often. So, I will be all warmed up when I return to car. I seriously want a cool cabin once I enter the...

    Anyone else coming from a sports car?

    Coming from Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport. Not really a sports car. But as a sporty SUV in the price range, nothing else was close to it when I got it. After a lot of research and test driving many EVs, finally ended up in SR MY. After driving an Alfa, it was extremely hard to impress me with...

    Seeking Opinions on MY vs alternate

    After reading another thread on Model Y comfort, thought I will add that here. The use of regen braking and how you drive will affect the passenger ride comfort quite a lot. Especially for kids, you need to make sure they are doing okay when you drive. It's a bit more tricky as you may need time...

    Seeking Opinions on MY vs alternate

    Not sure how important is ride quality for you. There are only two major things that I am not completely happy with MY so far. One is the ride quality. It's pretty harsh on rough roads. Next is the noise in freeways. It's not that bad. However, when listening to podcasts or radio, you will feel...

    Insurance coverage for MY ?

    If you are simply adding a new car to your existing policy, this may be reasonable. When I added MY, the increase was nearly $300 for me, making my effective premium to ~900. But, after selling my other car, I ended up at 600.

    Insurance coverage for MY ?

    I have Geico with MY. It's $600 for 6 months for me. My liability coverage is higher compared to state minimum. $100 comprehensive deductible, and $1k collision deductible. No rental coverage.

    Seems like somebody wants to sell it to get a MYP with FSD.

    Can we create a website for owners to request features and offer suggestions and upvote them?

    I see. For my case, there are multiple time windows with different rates. 4pm-9pm is the on peak. There is an off peak rate that's between 9pm and 12am. And super off peak from 12 am to 6am. Again off peak rate from 6 am to 4pm. Based on Optiwatt, if I choose 'Cheapest', I guess it will only...
