    Tesla Service centers and dealerships now allowed in Vermont

    It shows up on their supercharger map. It’s real!

    Man, times have changed.

    I'm actually getting mine delivered right now and sitting in the waiting room while they replace the rear hatch glass because it was a bit high and actually out of spec. I went thru a checklist and had my 2021 MYLR parked next to it. The construction, paint, finish of welds, door cards...

    Y is as fast as gas!

    I didn’t test that part but with the humidity last night and 50s-60s I was loosing %1 for 2 miles.

    Y is as fast as gas!

    I've been driving from Central Vermont to Western North Carolina for almost 20 years as my parents retired down there. More recently, since 2019, Tesla's Model 3 LR and Model Y LR. I drove down last thanksgiving and have always taken the approach of good average speeds are best. Tesla...

    Y passenger seat surgery

    I have a rip on the passenger seat left side that happened on a dump run over the winter. Never let anyone help you unload stuff….. anyway…. I bought an upper black seat cover to replace the torn one. I’ve found how to remove the head rest, back but then what? I’ll probably fake it and...

    FS: Gemini wheels, tires, and aero covers

    Still available? I’m in Central Vermont and could meet you as north as you would possibly go. Your price is fine. Just took delivery of my 2023 model y last week and installed new wheels and tires so I'm selling my 19 inch Gemini wheels, continental pro contact rx 255/45/19 tires, and aero...

    Estimating what I owe my kid when we charge at her place

    My parents have an ioniq5 and I have a MYLR, previously M3LR. They just visited for the first time since going electric and I did what they do for me when ever I visited prior(they have had a NEMA 14-50 since 2018). Hand over the spare garage door opener and they plug right in and charge...

    2022 Tesla 3 rwd 0 miles vs. 2019 tesla 3 awd, FSD, acceleration boost with 37k miles? Practically same price. Thoughts?

    It is a tech product mixed with a car. 22 all the way. If you want to make a change and upgrade it will be easier to be the first owner of a car than second. Plus new car smell.

    Road trip games

    Been taking my 3LR, now YLR from Vermont to North Carolina to visit the folks with my daughter since 2018(and really since 2005 with gas). But she’s 8 now and making the trek Friday. Anyone have any good amusing road trip games? I don’t know if my daughter can play count the tesla’s(not...

    ModelY required maintenance

    Not obvious but those of us who drive a lot on dirt roads, dirt build up under the rear bumper in the air diffuser. I generally clean it in the spring and can get a surprising amount of dirt out. 20-30 pounds or more.

    A tire PSI thread

    Also to return to this thread about PSI. I'm running them at 45 and do not mind the ride and did notice some efficiency since upping the PSI monday. I also just had an alignment and boy, it was out quite a bit. It didn't really show on the tires after 19k, but that is probably because I...

    A tire PSI thread

    I actually got another set of the OEM Conti's on the board here last spring for $500 new. I ran my new on car Conti's over the winter on the gemini's no problem. I also got a set of 19 inch tsportline's with Pilot Sport all season's with about 9000 miles on them that I am running now. My...

    But have replaced tires yet, and what have those results been? Have they been even or do you have outside wear?

    A tire PSI thread

    I guess I'm here to share and I have looked up a bunch of threads about is it right or not. Second Tesla, had a 2018 Model 3 from March 2019 until August 2021 and then a MYLR since then. I just replaced the OEM continentals on Gemini's at about 19,300. I run a lot of dirt roads, did a couple...

    Plain Vanilla Model Y Waiting Room

    I ordered a plain LR White Exterior black interior no tow, no fsd in May 2021 and took delivery in august 2021. I think the reality is between that time a year ago now thru say September the demand curve and capacity changed drastically. Seeing posts with September and October 2021 orders...

    Set Continental ProContact 255/45-19 near new, $500 (CT)

    Where in CT are you? I'm in VT. Any chance you'd meet up even 30 minutes north to save some driving time?

    V11 quick controls toggle?

    It is 1/2 baked. Just look at one thing. Lighting controls. On the quick controls there is no setting on my Y to turn on the fog lights. You have to use the stalk to do that. It is great to have a few ways to do things, it is a computer based car. But you have to be uniformed and...

    Model Y Auto Pilot Nearly Unusable

    My early august 2021 vision only build has had some phantom breaking in weird places. Camera recalibration took 5-10 miles and did it several times. I recalibrated after 2021.32.21 and it took about 75 miles. So far with limited use much better.

    2018 or 2020 M3P?

    Basic autopilot and hardware 3 in the 2020. The 2020 is probably put together better too.

    2021 LR Y

    I just drove my 2018 model 3 LR(awd,46k) from central VT down to tesla in Paramus NJ to trade in and get an Y LR Long range. It’s all wh/mi. The 3 used more power, about 120% of a battery. The Y made it all the way back using 86% of the battery. Lots more autopilot on the way home as I didn’t...

    The tale of two orders

    Here is a fun one to distract from the delivery thread. I live in Central Vermont. Our family had 2 Model 3's delivered in early 2019(at the same time which was cool) and couldn't be happier with the experience. Although I wish the whites matched and the headlights lined up better but what...

    2018 Model 3 Question

    I have a 2018 LR-AWD with no built in autopilot as well. Skip this and if you want to invest in FSD do it in a car that has it as a previous poster said. Not having autopilot only the enhanced safety features means you have to buy autopilot first as it was not standard in 2018. $3000. Then...

    Sell Model 3 for new Model 3?

    This thread is interesting. I have an 2018 AWD. I am also considering the upgrade. However in 2018, auto pilot wasn’t standard as well, and it is now. Not to mention my cars paint sucks and isn’t aging well with its two different colored bumpers and VT winters. Also the 2.5 computer gets...

    Model 3 - Strange "helicopter" noise

    In Vermont we have a great mobile service guy. He happened to be in the area and I met up with him for a ride. He’s a great ambassador. But frustrating you could not get it replicated but when it comes back take a video.

    It didn't take long to lose confidence

    $39,999 is my offer! Large bills! Boards like this you’ll learn the accessories that don’t come with the car. They have much to learn and some good will type of accessories should be there, but they are not and they should be.

    Hansshow Auto Trunk V4 CANBUS Harness for 2018 and older Model 3

    I’ve been running without that connection on my 2018 v4 kit. I wasn’t given a clear answer as to what it actually does, but I’d certainly like it too!

    Mobile Connector Cable Organizer Wall Mounting

    Look into a ceiling mount. I do that with mine which is how I solved the wrong side issue I brought up. It’s not a big deal till you realize how much extra cord management you have to do to back out, 365 times a year.... it adds up.

    Mobile Connector Cable Organizer Wall Mounting

    Either put it on the left side of your garage or move it to the front of the garage and back your car in. You will eventually not organize your cable when each time you’ve got to go to the other side of your car. I ended up moving mine to a proper place. you can also ceiling mount as well and...

    Blog Tesla Discounts Basic Autopilot – $2,000 Until July 1

    I bought full priced autopilot on 6-9-2020. The sale was less than 2 weeks away. They didn’t budge on refunding the difference. I was resigned to keep it. I used a bunch of credit card reward cash. So it was what it was. I figured I’d hit chase up and see if they would refund the...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I did hear from them and basically said I could cut some wires to tap into it. Which I would prefer not to do. Since my car is a 2018, the connector is different confirmed of course here and from them. They did say it will not open when moving due to the auto locking. What I am curious of...

    Best speed for road trips?

    I did a 1000 mile door to do drive from VT to NC and back a few weeks ago. Cool on the way down(40s to 60s). Warm on the way up 70s-80s. Temperature and wind make the most difference. 299kwh, 299wh/mi on the way down and 255kwi, 264Wh/mi on the way home. 17 hours, averaged 62.5MPH...

    Expiring Free Supercharging Miles

    Wouldn't it just build better good will to never cancel them OR cap it at like 100k miles? I have a single lonely 1k miles and I used all but 160. I'm here looking at this thread.... Wouldn't this be a better value for the brand to just leave it be as a thank you for spending $$$$ and...

    I have a late 2018 LR Dual Motor 18k miles on the clock, delivered March 2019. I live in Vermont with only mobile service available. I had a noise(which in the end was actually the passenger side front wheel bearing). It has been getting progressively worse over the last 4-6 weeks. Friday...

    For anyone doubting buying FSD, go ahead and buy it now

    Bought my 3 during the March sale. No AP, no FSD. 2.5 computer I assume. I was thinking of buying plain old auto pilot but like folks saying here, I’d almost rather upgrade $6000 sooner. Hardware 3.5 will be out in 2-4 years. Look at the history, they will be changing the mcu again...
