One of my big motivations for switching to the Model Y from my EV6 was the ability to tow my boat. I have a 2011 Larson LX850 that I bought new, and I’ve towed it with about a dozen different vehicles over the years I’ve had it. It weighs between 3,400-3,500 lbs depending on gear and fuel, so...

Good morning, everyone. I've always been curious just how much of a difference the heat pumps make compared to the PTC heaters that pre-2021 Teslas have used. I had a 2019 Model 3 SR+ for two years up here in Minnesota, and I was always frustrated with how much range that I lost in the cold...

I don’t think the $1,300 that Tesla charges for the tow package is unreasonable. But I’ve always been a handy guy, and I’ve never paid someone to install something as simple as a hitch for me. So I got the bright idea to order the parts myself and save some money. The service center wanted...

Good afternoon, everyone. I ended up trading Ruby the EV6 for a Model Y last night. My 5 months with the EV6 was fantastic, and the mechanical bits were every bit as awesome as I hoped going in. Ultimately, it was the lousy CCS charging experience combined with software that seemed like an...

These are a complete set of Continental 433 MHz sensors that were purchased with a tire and wheel set from TireRack in November, 2019. They were used for two winters and have sat for the remainder of the year. They are in good condition, and I'll warrant their performance for 90 days to...

Hi, everyone. After 29K my factory Michelin's were about done. I had about 2.5/32nds on all of them, and with regular rotation they wore quite evenly. Not much to complain about with them, and I was pleased they lasted this long with my driving style. I've always been concerned about the lack...

April 16 marked my one-year anniversary with my Model 3, and figured out post a few thoughts on my first year of ownership. Overall the car is been fantastic, with virtually no issues to speak of over almost 24,000 miles. Upon delivery I noticed the cowl panel covering the windshield washer...

Good evening, everyone. I’ve been running 20.8.1 for over a week now, and this evening TACC did something I’ve never seen before. It refused to respond to speed adjustments, either from the screen or the scroll wheel, but otherwise functioned completely normally. It did this with Autosteer on...

Good afternoon everyone, After 10 months with EAP, I have mixed feelings on the whole thing. I think autopilot is fantastic, and use it every day. But I find NOA to be an extremely frustrating experience because of how it manages the lane I'm in. It wants to change lanes whenever the car in...

“They gave their highest ratings to its design, performance, and some of the unusual software features that help define Tesla’s brand. A nearly unanimous 99.6% of respondents said the Model 3 is a pleasure to drive, the kind of consensus rarely reached by any consumer product.” This is worth a...

Good evening, everyone. I’m getting ready to order a set of winter tires and wheels, and I’m concerned about the reduced range without the aero hubcaps. I live in Minnesota, and with the standard range battery I’ll need all the help I can get when it gets below zero. Does anyone know if there...

I'm relatively new to the Tesla scene and superchargers in general, only having owned mine for a few months. Does this kind of inconsiderate crap happen often?

Good morning everybody, Last night my autopilot glitched again on a stretch of road that had confused it once before. I tried submitting a bug report, but got an error during my three attempts to do so. I would normally let it go, but the car tried to leave the roadway at 60 miles an hour...

Good afternoon everyone, I'm excited to be the new owner of a Model 3 SR+ that I took delivery of last night. So far I am extremely impressed, this thing is unlike any other car ever owned. I'm not hard to impress, though… Not normally in the luxury market, but some debilitating neuropathy in...
