Yes, quite reasonable. Didn't think this would fall outside of warranty coverage as it was a battery problem, but it's a battery charging problem which is just different enough. I thought of shipping the car. I have AAA. Could have flatbed shipped it to the SC nearly for free. But, I...

Yes, big mistake. But didn't know when I purchased. I'm sure many others have great experiences, mostly living near service centers in big cities with lots of chargers. I read of seemingly happy Tesla customers in rural areas on these discussion forums. But I have few chargers and no service...

$500 bill. Reaction is not to $500 repair. Reaction is to being treated like crap by Tesla. Nearest service center is 3 hours away. I have to take a day off from work to get the car there. 2 hour repair per estimate. But they won't commit to repairing car while I wait same day. Nor will...

Tesla has scheduled me for service Sept. 7. The estimate shows the following broken item which will be replaced: ASSEMBLY - FAST CHARGE CONTACTOR- HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY(1621365-00-B) $70 for part. 2 hours labor at book rate for $380. I am at 62,000 miles on 2021 Model Y that I received Nov...

Did that simplest reset several times that night. Then read that it's a better reset to do the buttons-on-wheel thing with brake pedal depressed. Did that. Neither solved the issue of accepting DC fast charge.

I'm not worried about customizations like my driver's seat position or setting the car's climate before I usually drive to work. I don't have any significant settings selected in the various menus and submenus. But I am worried about messing up the link between the car and me/my phone. That...

Can you be specific and explain exactly what kind of reset you have in mind? I'll try (nearly) anything. --JS

Yeah, I considered that it could be a Tesla account issue, which I read about as I tried to troubleshoot. That's why when I could not charge at the Tesla supercharger in Tully NY, I drove to a (fortunately) nearby EA charger where my Tesla account wouldn't matter. Wish it had worked and was...

I would love to fix this myself. But what to you mean by "full reset of vehicle"? I did a lot of urgent online troubleshooting that late night and read of several types of resets. The most severe having something to do with disconnecting the battery after removing a panel in the frunk.

After not being able to charge at all at Level 3 chargers (Tesla, EA), I was shocked that the car charged in my home garage on the NEMA 14-50 tesla mobile connector. Made me wonder whether sitting unused for an hour on the flatbed truck accomplished one kind of reset (online tutorials said walk...

Agree, sounds as if something in the charge system broke... but worked at home. I do plan to go to nearby level 3 chargers (Tesla, Electrify America) and see whether it accepts charge or still will not. Model Y, 2021, accepted delivery NOv. 2020. --JS

Last night I was driving home and was stranded. Chargers are few and far between in Central NY. Heading South in I-81 from Syracuse to home in Bnghamton, I pulled into the relatively new Tully I-81 Tesla Supercharger (250kW), where I've charged before. Arrived with 9%. Battery had...

Sorry. Model Y 2021, noted in original post. Cheers. --JS

Just thought I'd close the loop on this discussion. I was successful at finding wheel alignment in the Binghamton area at two locations: Precision Automotive and Matthews Subaru-Kia Service Center. Best, --JS

I've been to three shops now. They say that it's not just a matter of the machine, but the ability to make the adjustments on the vehicle, which they cannot do. How am I going to find a shop that can both test the alignment and fix it? --JS
