    Giga Texas Model Y Accelerate Delivery Offer

    IMO Tesla just try to suck people away from buying MYLR which may have a lower profit margin than that of new model that they offer which is mainly for around TX plant at present? and initially for internal employee to sort out the bugs No I keep waiting for MYLR, 4680 battery pack means...

    2021 Model Y tires wore off

    I could be very WRONG here, since Tesla has high torque compared to ICE even with light footed driver like me tires would be worn out faster? I don't know until I have my car

    2021 Model Y tires wore off

    @Pianewman as I stated "Michelin tires stack is taller. I don't trust this judgement call from engineering standpoint". Only actual measurements or specs from tire manufacturing companies would tell us the whole story. At one time a serviceman at Costco tire center had his tire...

    2021 Model Y tires wore off

    @ Pianewman: Sorry for the confusion ... "I keep thinking you mean the actual thickness of the tire wall rubber itself" , yes this is what I am saying. If you have the right tool U could measure this. One quick way to see this is we go to any tires stores and see how 10 Michelin stacks...

    2021 Model Y tires wore off

    Bear with me , I am learning thru you guys and internet research reviews For my 2015 Lexus CT200h, I am narrowing down to either Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Bridgestone EP422. Costco carries both of them On sales aside because Costco rotates its sales one then the other (1) I am leaning toward...

    M3 LR Mud Flaps

    Being in the chemical industries for almost 40 years ... IMO... any after-market adhesive tapes for outside uses won't last due to hot/cold cycles and UV lights. There are after-market mudflaps on Amazon that users don't have to drill holes, I think they are better solutions. I am waiting for...

    2022 Y Long Range- Matrix headlights?

    @LowlyOilBurner : (1) what do U mean "laminated windows"? I assume not the same as 'tinted rear windows' (2) can U confirm that U get Lithium-Iron 12v battery? (3) built quality is WAY better? can U tell if Tesla supposedly improves its paint quality (4) maybe Tesla does not tell if your...

    Installing Gen 3 Charger myself, confused about 6/3 wire

    Just wanna share with U guys what my electrician used to install the Gen3 Tesla Charger in my garage. He bought the circuit breaker from our local Lowes store because it did not come on time from Amazon for the installation date. I assume he got the Wirenco 6/2 MC from Amazon but I am not 100%...

    Punctured tire repair, tire out of stock - advice

    We have been Costco members for a long time. Costco carries mostly Michelin and Bridgestone tires but I always go with Michelin brand because of its thicker wall. I found that if we buy "enough" stuff at Costco the rebates from Costco and Costco Visa more than pay for our membership. Costco...

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    I am from Missouri so someone has to prove to Tesla owners that the 4680 is the "magical product". It will take at least 3 yrs of empirical data in my technical world to provide performance trends 4680 will improve the bottom line of Tesla, but rarely cost reduction be transferred to end...

    Used Model Y dash says “schedule service for low voltage battery” - is it okay to buy?

    I guess $165 is not that bad. My Interstate AGM battery for my 2015 Lexus CT200h costs me almost $200 and I had to install it myself. I know this brand would last me 5-6 yrs but I always replace my ICE car battery after 5 yrs

    Slow leak on brand new tire

    SLOW LEAK : could mean tire is not sealed 100% against the RIM This happened to one tire of my Lexus CT200h. The local shop that I trust fixed it. He removed the tire and used some kind of rubber seal around the Rim,,,

    Wall charger installation question

    The certified electrician used (surprised me because I never saw it before) flexible cable metal conduit with built-in 6 gauge copper cable . He used a hack saw to carefully cut the outside metal shell? then connected 6 gauge copper wires to 60A copper breaker to comply with Delaware codes

    Mobile Charger no longer included

    I ordered a Gen 3 WC and it was $495. Three wks later its price dropped to $400 before I had mine installed. So it's hard for me to believe that the $400 version could only deliver 40A output (mine is confirmed at 48A output)... It's hard for me to believe until I see proof

    March 2022 MYP order

    Based on what I know from different sites (1) if U received your Tesla in April of 2022 the it's equipped with AMD chips (should be in your car specs) (2) and with Lithium battery. If any doubt, you could open the FRUNT and remove the back plastic then U should see it

    Tesla Wall Charger only charging at 32A

    No, a certified master electrician did it for me. He has done 10 of them so he can figure things our quicker than I could. His parts (60A breaker + approx 50 ft of conduit) and labor was $950. He drilled a hole thru a cement slap from my garage to basement ceiling then 'fished" conduit to...

    About the 4680 battery pack, "I am from Missouri" so I believe when I see it. I ordered MYLR in on March 01 with Dec 2022 EDD. Do I want the 4680 battery pack? yes but for me it's not a deal breaker because (1) 2170 battery pack already has 10+ yrs of proven reliability of service in REAL world...

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    IMO 2170 cells are not a deal breaker. Yes 4680 pack is a new technology but 2170 already has 10+ years of reliable, practical data, so either one would work for me. My friend has a 2005 Lexus LS with 300+k miles and that's almost 20 yrs of reliable, practical data... Can't beat that
