Did you enable the Trip Planner function within the Tesla Navigation system? "Trip Planner (if available in your market region) helps you take longer road trips with confidence. If reaching your destination requires charging, Trip Planner routes you through the appropriate Supercharger...

The battery range estimate is frequently inaccurate and overstated as the estimated range is based on the fixed EPA Wh/mile efficiency. The Tesla Navigation system factors in elevation changes, temperature and posted speed limits. The Tesla Navigation system now also factors in cross winds and...

Not from Tesla. You may find a resource on eBay that can repair the charging cord/connector. If your son was using the Tesla Mobile Connector replacement Mobile Connector kits are available from the Tesla online store. Tesla Gen2 Mobile Connector Kit

You were given incorrect information. Your early 2021 Tesla Model Y is not compatible with the newer Tesla 15.5V lithium starting battery module. You received the correct 12V lead-acid starting battery for your vehicle. Depending on the mileage on your 2021 Model Y the replacement 12V battery...

Sentry mode and Cabin Overheat Protection are only active when the Tesla Model Y is parked. Sentry mode does not by itself cause additional drain of the battery. The Tesla Model Y remains in Standby mode whenever Sentry mode is active with the corresponding Standby mode power use of ~230 Wh...

You need to re-provision the Wall Connector for the new 50 amp circuit. You will need the password that is in the documentation that came with the Wall Connector (The password can also be found on a label on the inside of the Wall Connector cover.) You would use the password to connect to the...

Yes and No; I don't drive my Model Y in winter during inclement weather. Having the brakes serviced is one of those things I will get around to eventually.

I would have the tires rotated front to rear but so far my Model Y has not displayed the message that it is time to rotate the tires. I don't accelerate aggressively and the difference in tread depth is holding at less than 2/32nds as the tires wear. If I my Tesla Model Y requires service I...

This is normal; sometimes charging will stop at X - 1% or overshoot the charging limit X + by a couple of percent. The Tesla Model Y battery management system can't always exactly determine the state of charge of the battery. The state of charge will vary at different battery temperatures. When...

A single jack stand in addition to the floor jack are best when raising the Tesla vehicle to rotate the tires (front to back.) You only need to raise the vehicle enough that both wheels clear the floor. If you are working underneath the vehicle then properly rated jack stands are essential for...

Know that any floor jack costing less than ~$900 US is flawed by design (to lower cost) in that there is no way to replace the hydraulic piston seals once they fail. You basically have a 50 to 90 lb piece of scrap metal once the seals go. A trade grade floor jack can cost upwards of $1,000 US...

Since the sun shines onto the roof of the Tesla vehicle while parked, while driving and while Supercharging what would be the benefit of the comforter? An interior sunshade would help reduce the intensity of the sun's rays on the passengers and the vehicle interior all of the time not just while...

Some of the higher consumption is due to spirited acceleration but mostly due to highway driving speed. Consider having the windshield, other side glass treated with a good ceramic tint film. Turn on the Recirculate Cabin Air setting during the warmest time of the day. The tint treatment and...

The cross cut sponge works because of the greater surface area created by the cuts in the surface of the sponge. You make one pass with the cross cut sponge, i.e. left to right or top to bottom. You should never go back across the same part of the vehicle panel without flipping the cross cut...

You can follow the tire rotation interval in the Tesla Model Y Owner's Manual (every 10,000km or 6250 miles). In addition, the Tesla Model Y will notify you that it is time to rotate the tires when the tread depth difference (front and rear) is greater than 2/32nd of an inch (the Tesla Model Y...

Moisture in the passenger cabin from your respiration will be condensed by the Climate Control AC and a puddle will form underneath the vehicle. The slope of the garage floor will determine where the condensate flows.

If you only rotate the tires front to back then you only need one floor jack. If you cross over (front right to left rear; left rear to right rear and right rear to front left then you would use a floor lift or jack stands. If you cross over the front and rear wheels on a PMY then you would use...

There are 8 Tesla Supercharger locations from Barstow to Las Vegas covering 156 miles. The Baker Supercharger is one of the largest charger locations with 80 Tesla Supercharger spaces.

Check Youtube videos that demonstrate the Renstand when raising a Tesla. The floor jack should be rated for 75% of the weight of the vehicle (you are not lifting 100% of the vehicle, ever.) A 2 ton or 2-1/2 ton low profile floor jack is needed. (Low profile so that you can fit the floor jack...

Then the phone key should enable locking, unlocking the Tesla vehicle by walking up to the vehicle or using the Tesla app. What is the model year? It could be caused by a failing 12V lead-acid battery.

On a number of occasions when my phone was not recognized by my 2020 LRMY, the key card always worked to unlock and start the Model Y. The key card does not rely on BT.

Download A Better Route Planner to your phone (ABRP is also available on the web.) Make sure you have a valid credit card or debit card set up on your Tesla account so you can use the Supercharger network. Test that your Tesla Model Y can charge a nearby Supercharger (perform a short...

Try turning Bluetooth on your phone off for a minute (on an iPhone you can turn on Airplane mode, then turn off Airplane mode.) If this does not work then try rebooting your phone. The key card should always unlock the driver's door if you hold the key card in the correct position on the B...

Try Invisible Glass (spray bottle, not aerosol spray). Invisible Glass is an alcohol based window cleaner that does not leave streaks on glass the way some other glass cleaning products leave streaks. Works best if you clean the glass twice. First pass using paper towel and Invisible Glass or...

Do not handle windshield washer fluid if it contains methanol as an antifreeze. Methanol is toxic and is absorbed through the skin. Your windshield wiper squeak may be caused by contaminants on the windshield from manufacturing or other source. Try using a clay bar to remove any contaminants...

Lock the doors manually as you exit the Tesla Model Y. After the passengers exit, open the driver's door. Tap the lock icon on the screen and the Tesla Model Y will lock as soon as you close the driver's door (assuming your phone is not inside the vehicle.) Also, the Tesla voice command "Lock...

Try Falken WildPeak A/T Trail All Terrain Tires in 255-50/19 TSV 19" Tesla Model Y Overland Adventure Wheel and Tire Package (Set of 4)

For trips like the one in your example you would charge to 90% to 95% before leaving to add an extra margin of range. In summer no issue with 200 to 210 miles. In winter you might have to stop once for a short Supercharger charging session. Once you have made a trip several time you will have a...

Crossing over (front right to left rear) is best but requires jack stands or a floor lift. Front to back is simpler, only requires raising one side of the Tesla vehicle. If you see uneven tire wear (inner or outer edge) while rotating that is the time to have an alignment performed.

The second BT connection is the phone key.

You are overthinking it. You can lift the Tesla Model Y using either the front or rear lift point. Break the lug nuts free (just barely) before raising the vehicle. Use a low profile floor jack rated for at least 2 tons. Carefully place the lift arm of the floor jack at the proper lift point...

Have Tesla Mobile Service rotate your Tesla vehicle's tires (for the first rotation.) Watch what the tech does and then you will know the correct steps. There are also videos on Youtube.

Here is an example of a basic 2 ton low profile floor jack with a metal cup at the end of the lift arm (Not recommending this floor jack, only using this model for illustration.) Amazon.com A single lift puck used with this floor jack design will help to precisely locate the lift point. The...

Not in my experience. I usually charge at a public Level 2 charging station with Sentry mode enabled. My Model Y locks as I walk away. My Model Y remains awake while charging. Whether or not Sentry mode is enabled would not make a difference, i.e. the overhead of ~230W while the Tesla Model Y is...

Range is affected by the terrain driven (elevation changes), posted speed limits (used by the Trip route planner) and weather conditions (wet roads, cross winds.) For more interactive, customizable trip route planning you should check out A Better Route Planner (ABRP). ABRP is available as a...

You purchased a Tesla Long Range Model Y with an estimated EPA combined city/highway range. The EPA value does not reflect real-world driving, is only useful when comparing the efficiency and range of different Tesla vehicles and wheel configurations.

LPT: Do not respond to this AI plant (troll). The identical posting was made last week. This is an AI generated TMC post, not a real user.

I believe you meant Wh/mile not MPH. The Tesla Wh/mi since last charge, Trip A and Trip B only tracks energy used while driving. Energy used for Sentry mode, Cabin Overheat Protection is tracked tracked under energy use while parked.

TMC members, don't be baited by these fake AI bot plant (troll) messages. Look for the signs: 1) OP just just joined TMC today 2) 1st time posting 3) Complaining about something or casting shade The moderator can't delete these posts because they don't violate the Terms of Service. Just ignore...

Charge Port Sleeve

Another plant (troll) thread; prove me wrong.

Frequent, even exclusive Supercharging is not a problem. The cost of Supercharging is approximately twice as expensive as charging at home. The convenience of charging at home or work without having to drive to a Supercharger is another consideration.

The Wall Connector has additional benefits besides the potential for faster charging at 48 amps. - 24 foot charging cord versus 18.5 foot charging cord on the Mobile Connector - Designed for use in all weather conditions - Automatic load balancing when two or more Wall Connectors are in use...

Other technologies that can be found on different versions of Scorpion MS tyres include: A) Seal Inside anti-puncture system, Run Flat – which allows drivers to keep going even with zero tyre pressure B) PNCS (Pirelli Noise Cancelling System), to reduce cabin noise while driving. In the...

New tires will break in over the first 1000 miles; there will be some improvement in efficiency. Keep tires inflated to at least the recommended 42 PSI (measured in the A.M., cold before the Tesla Model Y has been driven.) Tesla does not recommend charging to 90% each day. For daily driving you...

This also varies with different drivers. If I add 1kWh to the battery (after accounting for ~5% charging losses) I know that on average I can drive 3.75 miles in my 2020 Long Range Tesla Model Y (assuming 11kWh added to the battery in an hour for 41.25 miles). Another Tesla Model Y owner might...
