    Audio system upgrade

    I also find the system in MY decent but it lacks sound stage dept and width are all muddied up so all the high speakers (mid tweeter) need to be replaced with better ones but I am not ready to invest over 1,500$ to do that. Yes I did play with the settings sound is way better after adjusting to...

    Trailer Wiring 4 Pin Connector

    Last time I tapped into the rear lights directly was way before the lighting in cars was computer controlled/monitored, as I said I personally would NOT tape in directly into the wiring harness.

    Trailer Wiring 4 Pin Connector

    You did not mention the car was a 2024! Hey I am a penny pincher also but this is one area I try to not skimp too much, too many things could go wrong, I would not connect directly to the wires in the car without a interface that isolates the trailer lighting from the car electrical system...

    Tow bar availability

    I would find the local Tesla phone number an talk to the service department for the availability, who knows they might have one in stock ready for installation. You could try asking the question in the service section in the Tesla app, but I tend to prefer talking to someone on the phone (old...

    Got Rear-Ended: Seeking Advice on Repair Options

    I'm insured so I would go to Tesla for that kind of damage, but I am not you. I would start by getting several appraisals and if insured I would ask what my insurance company what they require and recommend. As someone already said this car might be a write-off.

    Strange LTE behaviour

    You are saying that every time the car goes to sleep and then re enter it you need to reset the infotainment system to be able to use the enhanced connectivity options? If this is the case I would open a service request with Tesla, it is not normal. Does it happen with your wife's profile or...

    Spacers needed. 2024 model y with 20” induction wheels.. any suggestions on what to buy and what configuration for front and rear to flush, no poke

    You like to complicate yourself, just take a straight edge or level and rest it on the tire then measure the distance from the wheel arch and just imagine what makes you happy as fill, 10mm, 15mm or what even he feels is good. Ya a level or straight edge resting on top of the tire will also...

    Installing Hidden Trailer Brake - Redarc Tow Pro Elite

    And getting 12v to pin 4 would not have worked? You could use a DC-DC step down converter to convert the 16v to 12v needed.

    Spacers needed. 2024 model y with 20” induction wheels.. any suggestions on what to buy and what configuration for front and rear to flush, no poke

    I would measure how much difference I need to get my wheel's flush to my liking and that is what I would buy. But be careful as to not remove too much as you need to have sufficient thread left on the stud to be safe.

    Difference in FSD between Model Y and Model X

    If getting FSD to "drive you" the system will deactivate after several warnings and you will need to drive yourself. FSD needs ALL your attention, you need to touch the steering, you need to be looking at the road (one of the reasons there is a inside camera), if you don't it stops working and...

    In my area's personal adds there are many new ones for sale from people that don't like them and are trying to get a few dollars, the base 19" wheels are known as Gemini so often the adds are for Gemini wheel covers.

    Is this safe to drive

    Front wheel well lets just say nothing the picture is worth a thousand words, rear needs to be check for warp-age and repaired if possible, it is NOT safe to use as is. Underbelly needs to be replaced for aero drag and also as to not get any debris in, if you are in a area or drive in snowy...

    Is there an alternative to Modern Spare?

    For less than 10$ I would not take the chance!

    Is there an alternative to Modern Spare?

    To center the wheel to the hub you could use a centering ring 64.1mm to 67.1mm, they do exist and would be safer to have if ever you need to use the spare wheel/tire.

    Strange Phone Key behaviour

SO YES I did accept what all had been done, but my point was what...

    Strange Phone Key behaviour

    So it seems it is the gremlins that solved the issue! If it ever happens again try to get logged/detailed steps taken. For me when something like this would happen the solution was turn off/on Bluetooth or a phone reboot, but does not seem to be that in this situation.

    Wiper Blade Replacement Tesla Model Y

    I have seen many posts from you regarding keeping the OEM wipers and not needing to change them. Where do you live? I live in Quebec and after one winter I need to change my wipers no matter what brand they are, we have so much road grime that the rubber will wear down and the blades will streak...

    Is there an alternative to Modern Spare?

    You could go too a junk yard and get a complete collapsible spare tire and tool/jack kit from a Maserati Levante, the Levante weighed 4,650–4,861 lb (taken from Wikipedia) this is more than enough for our MY at 4,154–4,404 lb (also from Wikipedia)

    Why didn't Tesla offer a non-stagger wheel option for the MYP?

    The actual mileage is more a question of treadwear rating and to extend the wear evenly you rotate frequently to maximize your tires. I don't know what the treadwear rating on the different tires is but if you have a 21" tire with say 500 and a 19" tire with 250 the 21" will last twice as long...

    Trying to understand my options for a second set of rims for a '23 MYP

    Buy a set of four Gemini's at the Tesla service center with BLE sensors and have you local tire shop install winter tires on them, I personally like Nokian winter tires.

    Why didn't Tesla offer a non-stagger wheel option for the MYP?

    Buy two OEM front wheels and tires from Tesla and install them on the back, keep the new rear wheel/tires for when you sell the car. Problem solved.

    Towing Experience with Model Y

    Most tow packages are used as bike carriers and not for actual towing, so millage is less affected and at the safe time charging at SC is not affected. You could look for drive true SC, they do exist but are rare, all else you could stop at a regular EV charging station with a CCS adapter...

    Will there be a Model Y Long Range RWD?

    It seems that Tesla has dropped the SR RWD and only has the LR RWD available for order on their web site for the US market. Range is set at 320mi.

    Help regarding Model Y RWD vs AWD

    Yes that is a ABS traction control thing, NOT a AWD vs RWD question. Where I live I use studded tires since I have a very steep hill that is only sanded and no slat is used so it is often icey, I had AWD cars with very good snow/ICE tires and FWD and RWD cars with studded tires and any day the...

    Keeps Staying the Highway Passing Lane

    I would open a service request and include the state law that stipulates that it is illegal to stay in the left lane after passing, by doing this it becomes a legal issue and Tesla will need to address the issue. BTW. I am in Canada and don't use FSD so it is a none issue for me.

    Model Y HW4 with OEM Tow Hitch Installed

    If you have a long term usage result of the Tekonsha P3 that would be nice. It is not enough to say the a regular car device that is specified for 14.7-15 is actually usable on the Tesla 16V system, often devices will fail after a long term usage. We could always uses BBD bucket brigade...

    Model Y HW4 with OEM Tow Hitch Installed

    Will the free FSD trial convince you to purchase FSD?

    I have a 2023 RWD that I bought at the beginning of December it had a free 3 months FSD, I tried it several times and hated it, I turned it off after several days of owning the car. I received the 1 month free trial this April and tried it again and again hated it and turned if off, I always...

    Rusty (yellowish) liquid coming from center of the both front wheels

    With that many weights, I would have a reputable tire shop look at the mag while it is spinning, I suspect that it is bent! At the same time take a look at what is happening behind the mag as to try to identify the origin of the rusty water.
