    Model Y AWD Owner Feedback

    If you install a Level 2 charging capable outlet on a 50 amp circuit (like with a NEMA 14-50 outlet), expect around 30-33 miles of recharge per hour at 32amps. So, based on your driving of 70 miles per day, that's a tad more than 2 hours of charging per day. And real world range on the AWD...

    Are there any radar detector mounts for the Model Y?

    Another update from Blendmount. Looking at the mid to end of May. I know there are universal mounts out there on Amazon, but they look like crap to me. The only one that looks like it belongs on a Tesla is the Blendmount. Unfortunately, if you want something that looks nice, Blendmount has a...

    Never looked at Long-Term Equity options before. Going to look into it. Thank you.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Waiting for the bottom to hit. I'm not selling, mind you, but I've lost enough money on this slide over the last month to hit pause.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Getting real tired of losing money on $TSLA. Losing nearly 25% per share over the last month really stings. Where is the bottom? I've paused my weekly auto-buy options for now. This really sucks.

    New Model Y vs Model 3

    100% agree with this. I have a 2021 M3 and now a 2023 MY. I don't even want to drive the M3 now. The MY is much more comfortable and feels better to drive. I just prefer it more. YMMV.

    Screen Swivel Mount

    I installed the mini display dash on my Austin built Model Y AWD and had no issues. Everything fit fine.

    Screen Swivel Mount

    I put one on my 2021 Model 3 without issues. On the Model Y, the first issue I ran into was getting the plastic mount to fit properly. The Austin built Model Y has a slightly different dash, and this appears to have change the angle and location of the 2 metal pillars, where the screen...

    Screen Swivel Mount

    FYI... These no longer work with 2023 Model Y AWD built in Austin. Not sure about other models.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    No, it doesn't sag in the middle. It's why I went with this style. It uses black plastic clips to hold it in place, along the roof on the sides and then the 2 pieces meet in the middle, and you use the plastic clips to join them together. No stickers, so easy to take off too. And I went with...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    After going from a Nissan Leaf to a Y, you must feel like you have gone into the future by 5 years. Congrats on moving up from a soccer mom car. And since you are in Texas, I highly recommend getting the sunroof shade... as well as the Spigen matte tempered glass protector from Amazon. The 2...

    And it probably took them 1 hour to fix.

    Peeling matte black rear AC / USB cover?

    Nothing scraped it. I saw it was peeling up on its own, all around the edges on the side and bottom. At first, I thought it was a plastic coating from shipping the car, that didn't get taken off during prep. I pulled in it and it just pulled right off. I'm guessing they are still using old...

    Peeling matte black rear AC / USB cover?

    Has anyone seen this happen before? My MY is less than a month old. The matte black plastic AC cover is peeling and appears to be piano black underneath! Gonna have to call my service center to get this replaced!

    2023 Tesla Model Y Lemon in CA?

    Yep, I agree. The OP will be hard pressed to find a lawyer that would pursue this.

    Model Y 2023 vs Model 3/2018 - paint quality compare

    I have a blue Fremont built 2021 Model 3 and an Austin built, grey 2023 Model Y. Don't know if they changed the type of clear coat used or if the grey color hides swirls and scratches better, but just using a microfiber towel, with light pressure, I will leave scratches in the clearcoat on the...

    Real World Range on 4680 Battery?

    While you may be unaware of things like Project Titan, doesn't mean it is made up, nor did I say anything about "public presentations". Anyone can search what has, and hasn't been said/done by Apple. It's public record. No need to slander me over it. And I simple responded to what advocate8...

    Tesla set to refresh the Model 3 with project “Highland”

    For those wondering, that picture I posted IS NOT Project Highland. It's a guy that is building a wrecked Model 3 into his own Cyber-Roadster. The image is making the rounds, but the guy doing it is named David Andreyev and his YouTube channel is Cyber Hooligan.

    Real World Range on 4680 Battery?

    Apple VR headset, Apple car 😂 Just a couple items Apple have hinting / talking about for years. And Apple has been murky AF when it comes to security features, outright lying in many cases, only to get caught in the lies. And remember antennagate? Apple deceives just like any other company...

    Real World Range on 4680 Battery?

    Can say the same thing about Apple these days. Every presentation and product remains the same as the previous year. But the big disappointments like when Apple Maps was introduced? Or the Siri remote? Mobile Me, the iPod HiFi, or the Mac Pro trash can?

    Real World Range on 4680 Battery?

    Realistic number is between 220 to 230 miles, assuming temps around 75 degrees F and light winds with low humidity, on a relatively flat surface and driving very carefully on the gas.

    Is now REALLY a good time to buy a new Tesla? [Jan 2023 / April 2023]

    While possible, as anything could happen, it's highly unlikely. The current admin is pushing green technologies and the IRS is specifying the terms of the tax credits. With Democrats controlling the Senate and what bills can and can't be voted on, it's 99.99% certain the tax credits will remain...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Finally got around to installing the AMD version of the secondary, driver display on my MY. Def has that stock look and I like that the air con hits the back of it a bit, to get it cold when the temps hit 130 degrees here in a month. P.S. This is not the quickest of installs. You have to...

    If you are a professional drag racer, that is a significant difference. For anyone else, it isn't even worth mentioning.

    Is now REALLY a good time to buy a new Tesla? [Jan 2023 / April 2023]

    Only the LFP batteries can be charged to 100% nightly, however, Tesla recommends 90% daily charge is fine for the 4680 batteries. Link: Tesla Model Y 4680 Battery Charging Instructions: 90% Still Applies - TeslaNorth.com

    Is now REALLY a good time to buy a new Tesla? [Jan 2023 / April 2023]

    Some people don't care about 50 miles of range for $3000. If the 4680 batteries maintain a better charge over the years, it may even cancel out that advantage!

    Are there any radar detector mounts for the Model Y?

    To be fair, they've been saying for a while it'll be done soon. Originally, when I emailed them in early Jan, it was to be released in late March 2023. The email I received on 29 March, says 3-4 more weeks, so now late April. I'm holding off, because I'm not going to hack a $150 mount. Would...

    I'd like to know that as well???!!! This sell off is getting to be ridiculous. I'm buying more shares on Friday regardless of price. Hopefully, it's bottomed out by then.

    What have you done to your Y lately?

    Hmmm, reducing glare and minimizing the amount of white light reflected at you isn't the same as dimming? Weird. It's almost like sunglasses are just glasses, but with no dimming feature.

    Currently down $12 and change per share. Short sellers, I'm guessing? Hope to see a rally at the end of the day.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Hell, that was the first article in my Google news feed. It garnered more attention than any other, I'd bet. Pisses me off that the stock is down $7 and change at opening, based off a made up number, regardless if Tesla beat every other quarter in terms of production and sales. The stock should...

    If you buy the wide angle mirrors with the blue tint, the auto-dim feature isn't needed.

    Model Y - Accessories List

    Not all the Model Y's have them, but I believe all Model 3's do. Not sure about X's and S's. Anyway, there is an air intake near the windshield and under the plastic part that pops off at the top of the frunk, where you can access the 12v battery. This is a mesh cover that prevent bugs and...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    First pic of mine. Finally got to get it washed and waxed after all the rain. Added the Chinese version of the Uberturbines on the 19" wheels. Looks ok, much better than the stock hub caps. And finally got to check for panel gap issues. There is one in total. The hood is more aligned to the...

    2023 vs 2021 dash is different - pics

    Edit: After research, it appears that the Austin and Berlin built 2023 Model Y's have a Generation 3 dash, that is different from all other models. So, Fremont/China built Model Y's (all years) are still the same as previous model years.

    2023 vs 2021 dash is different - pics

    I was attempting to transfer my carbon fiber dash on my 2021 Model 3 to my 2023 Model Y and ran into an unexpected issue. They aren't the same. At some point Tesla altered the way the dash attaches, at several points and they added 2, Torx 20 bolts on each end via a tab. Take a look. First pic...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    I have a 2021 Model 3 on the 2023.6.8 update, but my Model Y came with the 2023.2.200. Both have advanced checked. After buying my Model 3, it took a month to get my first update (and many people on this forum have said the same). I'm sure every new Tesla comes with the standard point update...

    Since I just picked up my MY a few days ago, I probably won't get an update for a month. It came with 2023.2.200. I made sure to turn on "advanced" for software updates, but probably gonna have to wait until mid-April before getting an update. 😢

    Not exactly sure what you're trying to say here, as you're contradicting yourself? You want a car with USS, because your previous 20 cars didn't have it and you didn't have any issues? Umm, okay. 🤔 I was simply stating that I'll use first hand knowledge of Tesla Vision, compared to USS before I...
