    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    I understand the math, but if you’re going much under 75 on a 70 speed limit road, you’ll get run over and piss a lot of folks off. Angry tailgaiters are everywhere.

    Can't open Frunk from screen

    Just tried and it works fine. I’m on 2024.3.15 - 2023 MYLR

    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    MY only engages front motor under heavy acceleration or when the rear wheels start to slip, otherwise it’s a rear wheel drive car.

    Model Y Suspension Advice

    One possible solution might be to install thrust bearings. Might help at the extremes where the suspension is twisting the most.

    With regard to the subject of this thread, have the wipers been fixed???

    Tesla: Highlights from our upcoming Spring Release below

    The opening height of the tailgate can be adjusted so that doesn’t happen. It’s in the manual.

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    219 wh/mi lifetime is amazingly low. I have the same mileage on 2023 MYLR, and mine is around 260. Most of my mileage (75%) is interstate 75-80 mph, so maybe that accounts for the difference.

    I miss Creep

    Sounds like cars that have creep will keep it, but it is not an option on new ones.

    Wiper System V4

    It seems that if the sky is a certain shade of uniformly gray, not too bright and not too dark, and is raining at just the correct rate then they work perfectly 😆

    Wiper System V4

    After driving today in the rain, I’m gonna retract the comment above. Raining intermittently with some brighter skies and wipers were characteristically horrible. Wiping with no rain and not wiping with rain that completely covered the windshield. I waited and waited for them to kick in but had...

    Wiper System V4

    Although I still do get random dry weather wipes, wipers do work much better in the rain with the trial FSDP than I did before the update. Hoping this continues after the one month free period ends. I will not consider subscribing until FSD gets better than it is presently. Maybe I haven’t...

    Effect of wider tires on range

    Agreed. In addition, wh/mi usage by consumer can be tracked in the energy app in real time.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    This is true, but as soon as TACC, autopilot or FSD is activated, wipers revert back to AUTO

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Hate the dry wipe that just started recently. Wish they’d fix that.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Grew up in NYC area and it was(is?) used commonly there.

    Yeah. Where is it disproven. Just read a Reuters article where it looked like the story is real.

    Squeaky tire/wheel

    Does this only happen with low profile tires?

    I miss Creep

    I LOVE creep. Would seriously consider not buying another Tesla without it unless all other EVs did not have it as well. Have used HOLD in the past with the hope of adapting to it, but always revert back to CREEP.

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    Apologies if I misunderstood your post. I’m sure there are folks who would do that kind of thing, thankfully not you.

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    When one unnecessarily places another’s life at risk I call that irresponsible if not negligent. If that driver were to wreck and one of those teens killed, they could and should be prosecuted. I know, “it can’t happen to me”. Unfortunately it does, every day. Unexpected and unavoidable...

    Suspension groaning when turning wheel

    You only need to move about a foot while turning the wheel for the tire not to squirm.

    Wall Plug Over Heat Issue - Better 6-50 Receptable? (Using Mobile Charger)

    The electrician that installed my 14-50 used a Leviton outlet. After 4 years it suddenly would deliver only 4 amps, where the day before was 32 amps. No arcing or obvious sign of failure but something was causing the flow of current through the outlet. Replaced it with a Hubble and back to 32...

    Simultaneous Schedule Charging and Departure Pre-conditioning

    Been that way for some time in the US. Pretty convenient.

    2024.3.10; Any Feedbackss

    So many people like the system, and I’m going to try to find out why. I’ll very cautiously continue my 30 day freebie but at this point can’t imagine actually paying money for it in the present condition. I’ll just stick with AP and TACC for the foreseeable future,thank you.

    Well, at least you tried to give solid advice. A $10 receptacle? Nuts. It’ll work fine when new, but not in my house!

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    So you were driving at interstate speeds with 2 of your family members not only unbuckled but loose in the rear of the car? There was an accident on a nearby interstate last week where the only people killed were the 2 unbuckled ones. Completely irresponsible. I don’t even let my dog loose in...

    Suspension groaning when turning wheel

    Does it make the noise if the car IS moving when you do a 3 point turn? If not, then it’s likely the tires twisting against the pavement. Many years ago (about 60) I was taught not to turn the wheel while the car is stationary, especially not lock to lock as one would do in a 3 point turn. Plus...

    Annoying senseless wiper activation still there. Turn signals were not updated to larger arrows. Only 2 short drives on FSD, but so far not a fan.

    buying a used tesla from non-tesla dealership

    It’s a J1772 adapter. Not for fast charging but available at some motels as well as shopping centers and many other locations. You’ll only get about 10 miles of range per hour of charging. Usually free.

    Autosteer & Automatic Turn Signals Misbehaving

    Up until the last update (2024.2.7) while in Autosteer, each time I initiated a lane change by pushing stalk to the first detent, autopilot would cancel immediately. Now I have to push the stalk 2 or 3 times before it disengages AP. Sometimes I have to push it fullly up or down as if making a...

    FREE SUPERCHARGING HARRISONBURG VA

    Update. Good news and bad. Bad news is the charge amount came up on the screen today. Good news is that the chargers work. Not sure why Tesla has them as closed on the nav map. You folks in Arizona should carry electron bucket, what with the lack of charging options there. 😃

    Wiper System V4

    Also am having random wipe for no apparent reason. Drove 200 miles yesterday. Mostly cloudy and no bright sun, but no moisture of any kind. Happened several times while in autopilot/TACC. And of course headlights come on which likely causes some raised eyebrows. Can’t turn to OFF position...

    OTHER EV’S SUCK

    As in comparable models that are in the same price range. Not M3 vs Porsche. I expect the Porsche will be an overall better car. Kinda like Camry vs Accord. I think you get the idea.💡
