I have no solution for you, but I am having the same issue. Also, my car does not always connect with my phone even when I'm in the car. It keeps asking for a key card. I have to use the scroll wheel reset, and then it will recognize my phone. Super frustrating when I'm out and trying to get...

I just took a 4 hour road trip in my 2020 MY and OMG this was so unbelievably annoying. Weather was perfect, 70Degrees, sunny, to partly overcast but not a drop of rain. I initiated TACC in the first part of my trip and the windshield wipers started going furiously. I got annoyed enough to turn...

I don't tow with my Y, but I used to tow all the time with a previous vehicle. I used a structural hex head bolt, lock nut and plate washers to attach the trailer to the hitch. This allowed me torque it all down, which greatly reduced the rattles from the tow setup. Did this for many years both...

I have had these on my Y for some time and no, I have not had any clips come off of the car. All of the flaps are still mounted exactly as I originally mounted them.

I would think that the car would be able to float the 12v battery either from being charged (or connected to the charger) or directly from the HV battery. There are plenty of electronics on board to be able to monitor the charge level and "trickle charge" the 12v as needed. I get that batteries...

Interesting. My Y has had one windshield replaced already, about a year ago (performed by Tesla). A few weeks ago, a car passed me on the shoulder of the highway, splattering my windshield with rocks, putting a chip in it. I had Safelite come out and "fix" the windshield, then I left town. When...

When I lived in S.F., my mantra was "leave nothing in the car", not even pocket change. If someone looks in your car, and see's something they want (no matter how inexpensive), they will break it open to take it. I still do that to this day, so my option is take my stuff with me or leave it at...

IMHO, there's no way I would expect anyone to buy a brand new car that could not even drive off the lot (ICE or EV). So as far as I'm concerned you made the correct decision. As a new buyer, there is no way to know what is wrong with the car, and if they (Service Center) cannot just give you a...

I believe that there is some sort of issue with the lead-acid batteries (or possibly the charging system?). I've never had a new vehicle eat through batteries as quickly as my Model Y does. The original battery lasted almost 2 years, which I think was good/standard (1st battery was replaced...

I'm in a similar boat. I need glasses to read, but not for distance (so not to drive). I have to wear my reading glasses when I drive in order to read the smaller text on the center display. Never thought about it but every other display I use (computer, phone, ipad, even my watch) has a...

No, I don’t really. I’ve never lost a wallet, and that’s where the key card lives. If I lost the card (and my wallet) I’ve got bigger concerns, but I’d just have the card deactivated and get another.

As soon as I got those keys, I used my Dymo labeller to add the license plate number and a single digit number to each card. The single digit number is for me, so I can easily tell which card is which. The license plate number tells anyone with the key, what car to look for.

My car only recently got this update, maybe a week or two ago? I’m NOT on “advanced” settings though. Meh…my approach is “the next update will come when it comes”.

Also, it took them almost a week to complete this work on my car “diagnosis”…they claimed. Hopefully they complete your work more quickly.

Seems that way, yes.
