    New Model Y interior smells like chemicals/coolant/paint when parked for awhile

    I've been getting this for a long time on my Y, over 5000 mi now. The smell is not the funky odor that is common, it's more of a chemical or metallic smell. Also get layer of build up on inside of windshield from off gassing or something, I think it's messing up the forward cameras too since I...

    Model Y Windshield Haze

    My model y is about 5 months now and it’s still pretty bad. I think it’s getting on the glass in front of the camera lens too since the wipers keep going when I have auto p on and it’s not wet.

    Help: Bosch Icon Wiper blades - can't seem to install them!

    Are they better than stock? My stock wipers are streaky and the auto function doesn't help either.

    '23 Y still come with CCS charging?

    Thanks, can confirm it came on mine too.

    '23 Y still come with CCS charging?

    Just wanted to double check if new MY are still coming with CCS charging ability? Wouldn't be surprised if Tesla cut that since the NACS became the norm.

    Is FSD w/ hardware 4 currently better than w/ hardware 3?

    If I understand right basically hw4 will basically leapfrog hw3 at some point, but just not yet. I think the idea is if you get the right hardware on the market the software can come later.

    Is FSD w/ hardware 4 currently better than w/ hardware 3?

    Yeah are they doing FSD transfers for that too?

    Is FSD w/ hardware 4 currently better than w/ hardware 3?

    I forgot it was so confusing! I'm using FSD beta in hw3 right now to clarify.

    Is FSD w/ hardware 4 currently better than w/ hardware 3?

    This might be a dumb question but I'm not super up to speed with the hw3/hw4 stuff and considering the FSD transfer. Is the selling point for hw4 that it has more eventual potential than hw3, or is it currently better (maybe less phantom breaking or better on city streets?) than FSD with hw3 too?

    Order Process for FSD Transfer

    When I lookup the trade in value of my car it sounds like it's already kind of sorted, you would just order a new car and the FSD would transfer. The thing I'm wondering is after giving you the estimated trade in value it says "Includes transfer of your current trade-in vehicle's FSD capability...

    Shareholder Meeting 2023

    I was actually thinking about renting a bike but judging from the maps it would not make a very nice bike ride or run:) Wonder about this too, says there is a 10 min walking tour, maybe there is a longer driving tour or something? Maybe cyber or semi test drives or something?

    What features do you wish the Model Y came with (Dec 2022/Jan 2023) Wishlist

    I don't know exactly how the insurance score works but yeah I have Tesla insurance and my score has gone down because of numerous forward collision warnings...all of which were erroneous. My insurance has gone up like 15% because of that, I think it was like $140 last month.

    Tesla heat pump / HVAC (non auto)

    Saw this with a sprinter van build already. Eventually when solar is efficient/cheap enough it seems like the economics of pulling water from air will change enough to make it worthwhile too. Makes way more sense when you think about it just like distributed energy, it's much simpler to pull...

    What features do you wish the Model Y came with (Dec 2022/Jan 2023) Wishlist

    Adjustable headrests both up/down and fore/aft, or at least an "upgrade" for them. Rear camera wiper/cleaner. Stock 18" wheels and more or adjustable ground clearance. Also an insurance score that doesn't lower because of erroneous forward collision warning and stuff like that.

    18" Aero wheels and Model Y load limits

    Maybe a dumb q but does the different offset matter and can the same lug nuts be used?

    FSD beta lowers safety score

    I haven't qualified for FSD yet, so I can't say. But I can say that my safety score keeps getting dinged because of false collision warnings, also raising my insurance costs. Have turned down the collision warnings to late but it still has had false warnings.

    FSD Download

    This has been surprising to me, usually if you pay 15k for something they just give it to you! Also kind of annoying my safety score keeps getting dinged because of erroneous forward collision warnings, also raising my Tesla insurance.

    Anti-EV comments heard on my roadtrip so far

    I was on the fence about self driving cars until I was on the freeway and had someone playing chicken, that was a very memorable 3 seconds. Presumably a self driving car won't be perfect but it won't play chicken. And then you think about how we let 16 year olds, 95 years olds, and everybody in...

    Retrofit an "X's" Driver's Seat into a "Y"

    I’d be interested in this too, just got an x as a loaner and it’s significantly more comfortable to me even without ventilation consideration. I have kind of a long torso and my head feels too close to the roof in the y.

    Same situation, might thought is to at least ask if they'll comp it it considering the weird gap.

    Headrest for Model Y

    Old thread but I’m wondering this too. Or if you could buy some audi headrests off eBay or somewhere and they would fit?

    FS MY 20" Inductions w/ stock tires w/ 1200 mi. Portland.

    Selling this after switching to 18s. Wheels have a few dings but otherwise in really good shape. Would consider trade+cash for 19"

    Headrest for Model Y

    This is true. That said I wonder if a headrest from another luxury brand would fit Teslas.

    advice on tire sizing for going with 18" winter tires?

    Do you have any rubbing probs? Almost an inch more ground clearance it looks like too. Speedo off by a couple mph?

    18” wheels on model Y

    This is prob a dumb question but I’m just getting my y setup, ideally with those 245/50-18 snow tires, how do you know what size wheels to pair them with and how much does offset matter?

    Out of state purchase

    I would be careful about assuming an advisor is going to make sure it works. I've been trying to do this and my advisor told me it would be no prob to pick it up out of my range...but after I put in the order she quit returning my calls/messages and it's been a big ordeal ever since, talking to...

    Just ordered used Y, but not showing up in Tesla account?

    It goes to the dashboard, and there's no mention of the new RN number, just the cyber reservation I've had for ages. I guess it probably just needs some time to get through the system? Some other forums mentioned similar probs with leased cars which I guess this car was previously, kinda flying...

    Just ordered used Y, but not showing up in Tesla account?

    Oh yeah thanks I have the confirmation email but when I click the link it just goes to my account and it's blank so I dunno I guess I just wait and see what happens I don't want to waste more time trying to figure it out. I know Tesla is all about making high margin evs and not really a luxury...

    Just ordered used Y, but not showing up in Tesla account?

    I ended up talking with a sales person and he just wanted to input my address/license info to get the delivery going, then he transferred me to account services and I hung up after about 20 min of on hold.

    Just ordered a used Y yesterday.

Spent a good hour on the phone with Tesla today and nobody was interested/able to help...

    Out of state purchase

    Did you end up doing this? I've been trying to do this with Tesla but they keep saying it's too much of a tax and registration problem...I don't have sales tax in my state and registration can't be that complicated is it?

    Out of State Inventory Pickup

    Old thread but I thought I'd share my experience. Been trying to do an out of state pickup and turn the drive home into a trip. But Tesla says they can't do it because of sales taxes and registration issues. I know dealers are happy to do that often and my state doesn't have sales tax so that's...

    My Model 3 interior making me sick (literally)

    Old post but I bought an air quality monitor a while back and it’s been interesting to see what it reads in cars. The overarching lesson seems to be leave windows down whenever possible (when parked) especially when it’s hot, and blow lots of fresh air for at least a couple minutes when you...

    If you can't sleep in it, it is not self-driving

    To me, or rather my Grandparents, it's really not semantics. The difference between what Tesla has now which is pretty cool, and sleep in your car self driving is my legally blind Grandpa could get in, tell it where to go and arrive like magic. This would be a huge thing for our elders that tend...

    Do New Model 3s have UV/IR Blocking?

    This seems like a good question for all cars, surprised consumer reports or someone doesn't include this, or better yet why dermatologists (subtle hint:) don't ask auto manufacturers to just take care of it from the factory, almost as many people die of skin cancer as car accidents right?

    Information about UV Blocking for Tinted Windows

    This was a great post, thanks, would love to hear more about those upper ranges.

    Information about UV Blocking for Tinted Windows

    I had an experience that kind of relates to this. I did a two day bike ride that was like 8+ hours outside each day. I wore a short sleeve jersey, maybe applied sunscreen once a day but don't remember so probably not, especially on my arms. After the 2nd day, taking off my jersey I noticed a...

    MASTER THREAD: Powering house or other things with Model 3

    Seems like a real waste of an opportunity, almost negligent, for Tesla not to allow this during emergencies. If you could run your gas furnace fan with a Tesla that could make a huge difference for some people. Most Tesla's have like 10x the energy as that Ford.

    Powering house with a Tesla during blackout?

    All good points but imo it seems like like would be pretty easy for Tesla to software allow it for any car that is in a county that has a declared emergency or extreme weather or something like that. Also I wasn't talking about running an entire home from it, I just want to be able to basically...
