Probably efficiency.

Has anyone had experience with this wheel cover from Yeslak? I heard they are difficult to remove like other brands compared to the OEM cover. I do like the gun grey color which is unique. I know this cover is directional but it is hard to believe that it gains 15 miles. Is it possible?

Musk is too busy with twitter. That's why.

Take it to Elon directly on twitter.

How did you switch off the safety score. I don't see an option to do that.

Which means Bluetooth isn't disabled in Valet mode. Easy for me to test to verify but made my comment while reading posts.

No reason to lie? The OP clearly stated that it will cost more to repair due to the stated issue. I will only deal with the certified body shop. There is a reason some shops are certified and some are not, even from the same franchise body shops.

From your post, "Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are disabled. When Model 3 is in Valet mode"

So when you get your car back, you need to access your car via key card since bluetooth is disabled and phone key no longer works?

I suspect Tesla is intentionally lowering the score for most people for their insurance business. The cutoff time at 10 pm is very suspicious. Many people will drive at those hours occasionally. Except for California, many people with Tesla insurance will be impacted by lower score.

Model 3 used to include a garage door opener, not sure about it now. Tesla was looking for ways to cut costs when Model Y came out and the garage opener was one they decided to cut. Now, the new owner will have to pay for the mobile connector which was included until recently. There is a good...

I suspect it is beyond the drunk driver issue. The cut off time is 10pm which is highly suspicious and it makes many people violate the safety score. That means most people won't have a good safety score which allows Tesla insurance to charge more, except in California where Tesla safety score...

I live in SF Bay Are. The place where I live visibility doesn't change between 8pm and mid night or even at 4am. How can you get more distractions during the hours when there is little or no traffic. Try hopping on the freeway at 2am vs 8am. It makes no sense. As for tiredness, Tesla is...

I have noticed that the new Tesla Safety Score now penalizes driver for driving between 10pm and 4am. That seems absurd since traffic is a lot less during those hours. I am now being penalized for driving at mid night to Super Charger when the charging rate is the lowest. What do people feel...

The new Tesla safety score now penalizes driver for driving between 10pm and 4am. This seems absurd since traffic is a lot less during those hours. Also, you are getting penalized for driving to Supe Charger at mid night where charging rate is a lot cheaper during those hours. How do people...

If myQ app supports Siri or Google Assistance then your problem is solved.

Putting pin code is really old school in the age of unlocking phone with face id. I think Tesla needs to work on face id using cabinet camera.

I have seen people place it on the dash board.

Ok, good to know. The problem is solved.

Interesting. Perhaps, body shop will do the same like Tesla service center since they are supposed to be Tesla certified shop. In the worst case, I can mark the body shop location to exclude from sentry mode like I do for my house.

I did disable it from the app before I handed my key card to the technician for tire rotation. The alarm went off while the car was raised and I had to disable it again from the app. I am expecting to take my car to the body shop to repair my front bumper. Hence, my question. I'll definitely...

It appears sentry mode can only be disabled temporary and it gets reenabled when you drive. This behavior is fine since too often I forget to reenable after disabling it. But the issue arises when you have to hand over your car to the shop for work. How do people deal with this issue?

I am surprised that Tesla hasn't addressed the issue given countless complaints from owners. I never care for the chrome delete. The flush door handle in black color is hard to locate at night in poor lighting condition. At this point, I will take the chrome over black.

Has anyone experienced with Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3? If so, how does it compare to the OEM ProContact RX? Any range hit? Noise and comfort comparison?

No issue with the famous black trim discoloration from car wash soap?

I am curious about this tire too. They got good rating as you mentioned but I am not willing to sacrifice 10% or more on efficiency. Waiting on someone to test the efficiency comparing to the OEM Continental Procontact RX.

Just curious.. which ceramic sealant do you use to address this particular soap stain?

Only if your in carpool lane during commute hours. Please see the link below. I tried carpool lane in the evening and didn't get any discount. Carpool Lanes and Express Lanes - FasTrak

Someone mentioned that DIY ceramic coating prevents staining. This is possible since ceramic has chemical resistance property. Of course, ceramic coat will eventually wear down but if it can prevent staining for 2 or 3 years then it is a great fix. I ordered Gyeon ceramic coating. Let's see...

It goes without saying.. windshield shade is required to cut down sun heat.

Venting windows will help alot. Also, roof sunshade is a must for sun. Doing both will save battery meaningful in my experience.

I usually put it to screen cleaning mode. This doesn't effect the HVAC or the radio.

For efficiency on 19" wheel, I don't think you can beat the OEM Continental Proconct RX. The Pirelli seems like a second choice as far as efficiency is concerned.

The link below seems to suggest that you have to be on carpool lane during commute hours to get the discount. Otherwise, you will pay the full toll like I have. https://www.bayareafastrak.org/en/about/carpool.shtml

Do you get 50% discount on bay bridge with your CAV tag? Mine doesn't. Mine gets free toll on 237 express lane though.

Mine works fine. You should try to get another tag which shouldn't cost you anything.

Did you install any third party accessories that consume power?

"you get charged full price on bridges when it should be $3.50" I didn't know you get discount on bridge toll. I was told that even EV cars have to pay the full toll for bridges. CAV tag allows toll free for express lane only. No?

Yes, the OEM Continental Procontact RX is rated as the low rolling resistance tire. As far as I know, it is the most efficient EV tire on the market currently.

Are you willing to sacrifice the range hit by at least 10% compared to the OEM Continental?

I use Sun Joe's pressure car wash soap without issues. Good to know that Chemical Guys' soap has the same issue. I was thinking about getting the Chemical Guys's soap but I I am going to stick with Sun Joe for now.

One youtuber tested the Extreme Contact and said 10% hit on range compared to the stock Procontact RX. I'll stick Procontact RX for now.

As far as I know, Goodyear ElectricDrive GT tire isn't available on Tirerack or any other tire site. Has anyone tried the tire yet?

The past posts I read said ceramic coating didn't help with the soap stain. The YouTube video I saw from recent Y owner who took it to car wash shortly after delivery. But I can't be sure he has ceramic coating or not.

Is it possible that Tesla may have fixed this trim issue with 2022 Y? I recently saw a youtube video where the 2022 Y owner took it to a car wash and didn't experience the famous soap stain issue on the trim. Can someone confirm?

I often sit in my waiting for take out food, etc while the door is locked and the sentry is on. It never triggers sentry event while I sit in my car even when people walk by my car presumably it knows I am sitting in the driver seat. But I am curious to know what will happen sleeping in the...

Is it possible to sleep in Tesla with Sentry mode on? Has anyone done that? Will it cause false alarm when moving around inside the car?

Why? You don’t trust Tesla?

Did you use Chemical Guys’ Honeydew Snow Foam soap?It is highly rated and I’d be surprised if it causes discoloration issue. I’ve been using Sun Joe foam soap on my Y without issue so far but I’ve been thinking about trying the Chemical Guys foam soap.

They charged you $127 for the new car under warranty??
