Thank you and happy holidays! The light show made our Christmas Eve even more special. Joy and laughter are underrated ha ha! My one UI wish would be to have shortcut-from-the-car-icon be real. Even better if that shortcut menu was customizable with different items from controls (like trips...

Yes, the thing that bugs me the most is the newly-buried trips info. Also don’t appreciate that each music option is a separate app. Used to be able to choose phone, radio, streaming, etc from the same music window. Oh well! I’ll get used to the new software I guess.

I also posted about using a seatbelt with this cover -- there are two velcro openings in the cover to attach the dog seatbelt directly to the child carseat hooks in the backseat. The seatbelt has a carabiner that attaches to the ring on her harness. You can see it attached in the 'relaxed...

I'm finding that acceleration matters a lot. I've started to be more careful about accelerating gently and our lifetime average is already coming down. It was 274 and now it's 270. We took delivery in June and have about 4500 miles on the car. We live in LA in the foothills and so it's a lot of...

I made one for our last car. It was quite simple. I bought black canvas and cut it to size and made two straps to go over the back headrests. I called it our car 'apron' because that's what it looked like. Worked great! Our pooch got nervous riding in the Tesla on it, though, because there is...

Oh no! That's awful. :(

Oh what a cutie! That looks like an awesome little basket. I think our pooch is too big for that, but that looks super useful.

I think you could do this. I've thought about cutting out the zippered mesh center panel altogether. It zips up only on one side. I've unhooked one side for an adult to sit in the other seat without a problem. Might make more sense to get one that is only for one side, though, if you're...

Personally, I would love a 'dumb' cruise control option. I just want my speed to be capped and held steady when I'm on an open road.

Yes, 'overreaction' breaking is a better way to describe what I've experienced too,

Great write up! Thanks so much for sharing details of your trip!

I've had phantom breaking a few times too. I don't use autopilot, but it's happened in adaptive cruise for me and always around overpasses. Ours is a radar-less 2021 Y. The first time was scary. The next times were just annoying because I quickly took myself out of cruise by hitting the right...

Had the exact same problem in our Model Y this past weekend. Had to reboot twice to get it all working again.

Thanks! She's a sweetheart. We found her when she was 2 months old on the streets of a small village in Oaxaca, Mexico. She had mange and worms and was an absolute tiny mess! Only weighed 2 pounds even though she was 2 months old. That was six years ago and now she's the luckiest dog alive, ha...

Hey Tesla friends: We took delivery a couple of weeks ago and found that our dog was completely uncomfortable in the backseat. We were using a cotton canvas backseat apron (well, that's what I call it!) that I'd made for our old Prius and it was slipping around a bit on the new vinyl seats. We...

Ha ha! So true. I thought the Mach-E was like a couch when I test drove it yet some people love it! So subjective.

1) please always look before you change lanes regardless of the car. Motorcycles and bicycles can be missed even with the best computerized systems. We really need people to look! 2) The sport steering setting is much, much tighter. You might prefer it, as I do. 3) Our MY LR has great...

Sport is my favorite for sure.

I prefer "sport" steering on our Y. It's tight and definitely not mushy or loose like the steering can be on some cars. The turning radius is not great, so three-point turns are in order on narrow roads, but I think you'll overall love the tightness of the steering on the Y.

We did the day after reading your post. We paid at delivery using our phone after looking over the car. Thank you for this!

We got custom black/yellow plates on two new motorcycles a few years ago and we had to wait until regular plates arrived, then applied for the black/yellow custom plates after that. We could order them online, but had to pick them up from the local DMV in person. We will do the same with our new...

I've been using Siri to play podcasts and music through the Tesla. I just say "hey siri," then give it directions. I don't engage Tesla's voice commands to do it, I just say it out loud so my phone can hear me. I've never had CarPlay in a vehicle, so perhaps I'm easier to please, ha ha.

Totally agree! I think it’s cool that our MY was made a few hundred miles from us. Talk about low emissions for transport. The car didn’t travel far to us at all.

Interesting. I’m finding navigation to be as good or better than Apple and google (and so fast) here in LA, though I wish there was the option to avoid highways. Just this past weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to see the bench on top of westridge canyon back trail on my Tesla map — never...

Wow, your car is absolutely beautiful. Love the rims and the caliper covers with the gray.

Just picked up ours today and no ppf and no passenger lumbar. We installed mud flaps as soon as we got home. Car looks amazing though! Paint, panels, etc. all fantastic.

We are having the exact same issue! Just got our car today and only one of us has full access. Its very frustrating since we're both owners -- we're both on the registration and the title.

None of this would be necessary if all drivers actually paid attention while they were driving. I get that the tech is cool, and the name FSD is misleading, but Tesla says again and again that the driver needs to be actually driving and ready to take control at any moment because the tech isn't...

I’ve never owned a car with blind spot monitoring so I don’t rely on it anyway, nor would I ever. As a motorcyclist, I beg everyone, no matter the car you drive, look over your shoulder before changing lanes. Please! You are the driver of the car. Basic driving skills will save you and those...

The same thing happened to us during our first year owning a 2016 Toyota Prius. Car died in the middle of an intersection! Turned out it was a recall software issue. I was very, very glad I was not on the highway, but a busy LA intersection wasn’t exactly ideal either. Hope they can fix it and...
