Hopefully replaced under warranty at no cost to you?

Yes, Tesla has more data on battery degradation than anyone on Earth, and yet we have absurdly short battery warranties that kills BOTH used Tesla sales, and resale value, over the long term. Why?!? Tesla should step up and increase the HV battery (and powertrain) warranties across the board...

Link comes back with: "Something went wrong. Try reloading."

What's the "procedure" for the rear seat rattle? We have it, mostly with any torsional loads on the body (such as turning or entering/exiting a driveway, etc.) and it IS exasperating. Why can't Tesla get this fixed once and for all?!?

It's likely too late, but please visit the Gallery where you test drove the Dual Motors and see if they can escalate this with a fair value-"OOPS" trade-in on your RWD MY, one that makes you whole-ish so that you may upgrade to a Dual Motor/Long Range MY . . . . Can't hurt to ask, and ALSO ask...

Not Chinese, but would that particular issue have affected ALL brands, not just Tesla? Most likely reason is that early-in-the-quarter EXPORTS from China decreased the number of China domestic-sale Teslas available, as has been the norm for many quarters now, no?

Worth a try? No personal experience, but it may make a difference: https://www.rpmtesla.com/collections/model-y/products/model-3-door-noise-reduction-kit-29-with-20-off?variant=31266582265910

Could you please translate the chart for us? Thanks.

Do please provide a YT link so that we may check the validity of his test, if you can find it. Tesla spends a massive amount of (very expensive) time on wheels and wheel covers in the wind tunnel as they have a large impact on aerodynamic drag, and as a follow on impact: range. Here's why...

Seems like a bit of stretch, no? The foam makes a measurable impact on road noise. Puncture repair is easily accomplished at any tire repair shop at minimal cost, far, far less than the cost you will pay to remove the foam for a perceived fear that the foam may come loose . . . . Leave well...

Not my experience. Received a new set of 21" Michelin OEM tires from Michelin for our '22 MS Plaid after inner sidewall delamination/tread separation on the rear tires. Simply file a claim on their website and keep your old tires (if needed for warranty replacement).

No, of course not. But it's an RT. It can decide when it's battery is too cold for safe regen based on how much regen MAY be needed for any given drive. High altitude pick up near a mountain west of Denver, for a drop off in Denver? A lot of regen may be needed. Flat lands of Wichita? Not...

While this is the investment thread, you assume that regen will be insufficiently powerful to apply sufficient negative torque. I don't believe that assumption is accurate. I hope to find out on 8 August at the RT reveal.

In an RT they will be--the car won't ever be at the top of a mountain with a full charge and unable to regen . . .

That's the key. In an RT there won't be any "regen unavailable" situations . . . because it won't let itself get into those. (Also, since when does "low battery" not allow for regen?)
