    Autopilot changes?

    Yes … that‘s what I had been accustomed to doing … but I know my reaction time to doing the volume wheel maneuver hasn’t fallen off that badly … it just seems that there was a little more runway to provide feedback to wheel once blue pulse starts

    Autopilot changes?

    Has anyone experienced any changes to the warning and disabling behavior of AP? i Haven’t done a lot of highway driving in several months and did about a 5 hour round trip to LA yesterday and I was locked out of AP 4 different times going about 75. It seemed as if the blue flashing warning...

    Model Y tint pictures

    @TESLORIAN ... I ended up with 20% (non-IR blocking) on the front windows (black interior). I was going to go with 40%, but thought it would look better if the front and back matched. It does look decent IMO, though I really wasn't going for that whole "stealth/nobody can see me" thing. It just...

    Max speed stopping with TACC

    Just curious: Today I was on a straight road with TACC set at 55 and there was a big box van already stopped at a red light in front of me about 200 yds out and wanted to see how TACC behaved. TACC did bring me to complete stop, but it seemed a bit late to recognize stopped truck in lane and...

    $300 Hitch

    Thanks for sharing the video @PKOttawa ... not sure how I missed that one I was hoping to find a way to disable the parking assist sensors, but I don't want to do at the expense of losing AP and lengthening following distances when this is engaged (which this vid outlines). So, given the fact...

    DIY: Model Y Painted Calipers

    Nice job/work by the OP ... I liked the red, but figured I'd try something different ... add a little pop on gray car. Not too bright, not too dull ... it's VHT yellow over orange undercoat ...

    Model Y tint pictures

    I did my fronts with 20% Crystalline and it looked great from outside. From the inside it ended up suffering from really badly from low angle haze ... many times during the day it would look like I was driving through forest fire or that I needed to clean the windows ... drove me nuts ... had...

    $300 Hitch

    OK ... installed it and took a little over 2 hours ... was really taking my time to make sure I didn't break off clips or strip bolts, etc. I did not use an electric driver as I was sure I'd get one of those cross-threaded screws (and there were 2) ... carefully hand unloosening with ratchet...

    Did Tesla Fix Your Y after Delivery?

    Same thing happened to me, but I called their service number, explained the situation and they were quick made it a zero dollar estimate with no argument or need to push them on it. The only money I paid at service was $12 to get a 3rd key card.

    Portable refrigerators for Model Y

    I wonder if anyone installed a drain tube for rear trunk? Probably could be done as it would be nice to just throw ice back there ...

    Key fob vs phone reliability

    Have had my Y for a month and have yet to carry card with me. iPhone Xs has gotten me in every time. Granted, there's been times I've had to wake my phone up/open app, or just rotate my back pocket to door to get it to unlock. I know I'm taking a small chance the phone won't work, but I haven't...
