My Tesla killed several thumb drives even ones using SD Cards specifically made for a lot of writing (last maybe 6 months). I finally just ended up just plugging in a USB hard drive. Has been flawless for over a year.

If Tesla does coil cleaning then it may be worth having them do it, essentially its $20 difference. And for tire rotations you need to have a pretty expensive investment into a heavy duty jack (due to car being so heavy), plus the pucks to lift it properly. For wiper blades, I think Tesla ones...

Oh my bad, somehow my brain skipped that line 😅

Thanks for the invoice. Here is a less private version if you want to delete the original: Interesting that they didnt do the caliper/pin clean/lube.

not covered by warranty? Look in the app, it has all invoices for all service visits. Would be good to know what they did.

Is there a guide somewhere on how to check the pins on brake calipers? And no I havent rotated tires yet since its AWD and wear seems to be very even across sides and front/back.

I tested break fluid, it passed, I check tire tread depth every few months, its also fine. I have 20k miles over nearly 4 years on Model Y LR. Roads arent salted here (Southern California). I replaced the cabin filters at 2 years and will do again once 4 years hits... I replaced the 12V battery...

I agree with you, but I think in this case all the important sensing stuff is in the car and cabinet. Adapter is just a few inches of copper/aluminum wire. So if things go south either car or cabinet should detect it. For example if gauge of the wire used is not big enough that will translate to...

From what I could tell they are exact clones of official ones. They do lock just like J1772 one does. And safety wise, Car/cabinet will react if things heat up too much, same thing for overcurrent/overvoltage issues. Personally Im not too worried about them.

Weird, when I plug into questionable NEMA 14-50R the car will give me over temperature warning and bumps down the charge level. Weird that its not doing it for you folks and instead melts the outlet. I have a Leviton and a Hubbell that I use interchangeably, both in metal enclosures. Both never...

You may want to wait a bit. Some Chinese companies offered to send me some CSS adapters to test with my Model Y (for free, and I get to keep the adapters, they send them straight from China), I just finished my testing for them last week. All worked perfectly fine on Electrify America chargers...

Not sure if a tool like this exists elsewhere. I didnt do too much searching. I made this for personal use, but posting here in case it helps others. My situation. I have a Model Y and a PHEV. I can get 40Mpg on PHEV. I wanted to see at what Supercharger rates it would be more efficient to take...

Issue still happens but more rare now. Maybe 1 out of 5 drives it fails.

Ive been using a 2.5inch WD Passport drive (platter drive) for a while and it had no issues. Didnt heat up too crazy (just got warm). I decided to switch to an SSD, and oh my gosh. Even just driving around with 'dashcam' mode on it gets really warm. When car is parked under the sun with sentry...

Seems like this update fixed it for me.

Just got notification to install 2022.12.3.6, hopefully it fixes the issue

I have a mechanical (so basically infinite write cycles) WD Passport USB drive (made so that it can take vibrations from driving). Was working great for over a year. After updating to 2022.12.3.5 I got this issue. I took out the drive, did SMART check and checked every sector. Didnt find any...

I agree Back on the main topic, I ordered BRYANT 9450FR for ~$46 from Grainger https://www.grainger.com/product/BRYANT-50-A-49YY93 Seems like the best bang for the buck. According to OP its same quality as the $100 HUBBELL for half the price. I dont think we'll be seeing those close to OP's...

Well, its multi faceted. Not being to code means that if your house burns down its an excuse for insurance to not pay out. But this may actually not be a problem. His link says 40A, but if you click it it actually says rated for 50A. As long as that thing will accomodate 6AWG wire (which it...

Its rated for 40A, 14-50 is rated for 50A. Tesla Gen 2 mobile connector pulls only 32Amps, so it would 'work' but it would not be to code and would be a fire hazard if someone in the future (perhaps next house owner) plugs in something that actually pulls over 40 Amps (by 80% rule of NEC any...

I am currently (and for the last 2 years or so) have been using LEVITON cheapo Home Depot one with 32A draw from mobile adapter on MY. Works fine most of the time. But if my charge is low enough for it to charge for more than 4 hours or so then it will trigger receptacle overheat (Blinking red...

you wont be able to find a small switch because it needs to support potential full draw from the 14-50R downstream from it. I used something similar to this - GE 60 Amp Non Automatic AC Disconnect TNA60R1CP - The Home Depot

Isnt it still a guessometer? While its better than nothing it does mean that if one number is wrong then whole thing is wrong and in some cases you could never know you are looking at bad data.

Just did a 600 mile trip in LR MY. Trip computer states the following: 603 miles | 183 kWh | 302 Wh/mi I left the trip at 100% charge (74Kw in the pack). I supercharged during the trip for total of 125Kw. I arrived back with 7% battery. This means that I have put in total of 199Kw. Taking out...

Anyone know if with the driver monitoring in last update, the radar is still active in cars with radar (Model Y specifically) ?

Read all 5 pages, still not sure if I should upgrade my MY.

Got about 1500 miles with this setup. Its working great. In my previous post I mentioned water can make it past the mud flaps by simply overwhelming them during rain, but a quick wipe and its like new. Anything that makes it back there glances right off the PPF.

Update 1 month after original post. Mud flaps are holding up well. Ive driven about 1000 miles so far with them. I am keeping track of efficiency and it is still the same watt/mile as it was pre mud flaps. Ive also had a chance to drive in rain. I am definitely seeing some road water make it...

Quick update from the original post. I have now had 2 weeks of driving with my flaps (Abstract Ocean scoopy ones). Definitely see them stopping stuff. They arent collecting anything but I do see occasional sand splatter on the inside of the scoop (falls off on its own after driving a bit), and...

I should add that Tempered glass is ~$230 from Tesla, Laminated glass is ~$280 from Tesla. If you have Tesla do it, they will most likely not install laminated if your car originally came with tempered since their system says the yare not interchangeable. But they charge about $60 for labor...

For those that dont want the details. Can you do the retrofit? Yes. Should you? Probably not. Now for the details: Here is the laminated (2 sheets of glass that are installed on 2021 and newer model Y's in the front) on the bottom and the tempered glass on top of it - Yes, the shape is a...

Quick summary for those that dont know about the rear door damage caused by the front wheel kickback. Everything that your front wheels drive over have this kind of trajectory: This means little tiny rocks are damaging your paint: A really bad example (from a post here on TMC), all the...

cant edit original post (been over 60 minutes), but doing some more research found this article on someone doing Model 3, and they state its a direct fit: Primary Tesla - Laminated Glass Retrofit here is the quote in case something happens to the link. keep in mind this is for Model 3 not Y...

I watched this video of the comparison. And the glass looks the same shape as far as anchor points. Its just on the new one because they used metal they didnt have to use as much glass at the bottom. But as far as attachment points where the motor is attached, from this video it looks the same...

Thanks for the link. For anyone else looking. In that video they show an invoice, states: $260 for laminated double pane and $225 for tempered single pane window (directly from Tesla). Prices not too bad, in line with other cars. I did see different attachment points at the bottom, BUT they...

Im assuming thats $400 each?

Something got stuck in the window seal, scratched the window as it rolled down (front passenger). Contacted a few glass shops around everyone refusing to try and buff out scratch out of tempered glass. Said I need to replace the glass. So curious how much that would run me? I have the 2020...

Well since no-one was confirming one way or another. I am happy to confirm that after updating my Model Y (with radar), it does NOT require Auto High Beams for auto-pilot. And no mention of anything about internal camera in the notes.

Ive used A better Route Planner for several 1000+ mile trips and it works great. It even allows you to specify how much extra weight you will have in the car. Fine tune how long you want to stay (like if you rather charge longer but fewer times) etc... highly recommend it.

My concern is that even if it is confirmed that this update doesnt mess with any of that, the code could be there, and potentially enabled at a later date (without another update). is it confirmed that Auto High beams is a requirement after this update even on with radar cars?

Downhill one way/uphill the other?

So I know that using slime stuff is bad idea due to the sensors in the wheel. Even the Fix-A-Flat sold by Tesla says that TPMS has to be replaced if used. And I dont want to buy a spare to carry around. I think a small patch kit is a perfect balance, it may take a while to get it patched, but...

Did any of you figure this out? Just got the fault on my 1 year old Model Y when signaling right, turn signals seem to work just fine and I used the right turn a bunch to try and make it happen again but it wont, so only happened once. Just did get 2021.4.18 software last night, not sure if a...

Why no foam lining?

Mind sharing your experience as far as different rated tires and pricing?

I apologize for probably the most basic of question. But I got a Y, and need new tires soon. On all my previous cars id just find a local tire place with cheapest tires, pay them a few hundred bucks and be on my way. I didnt really care about the tires. But on the Y, I kind of do. And because...

This has happened before and ended up fixing itself later. But I cant seem to be able to set the charge limit to 100%, going all the way to the max sets it to 98%. And setting it to 90% (I even feel the phone vibrate indicating I set it right on the mark), it sets to 89%. Anyone experience this...

wait, is this for real? howly shyte! that would explain it! But it costs them to operate doesnt it? If noone is using them due to high costs, then they'd be losing money?

Over here in California we got Superchargers at 36c/kw, which isnt cheap, but level 2 chargers are around 20c/kw. We got the first Electrify America station open near me, never seen one in person before, and its 46c/kw. And from what I understand with $500 adapter I can get 50kwh charge rate on...

You clearly saw me refer to it as rear liftgate multiple times. I mistyped it once. No need to latch onto that. You knew what I meant. I cant go back and edit it as edit option goes away after some time.
