Hi all, I have a disagreement with the Service Manager at a Tesla Service Center on whether something is a defect or normal wear and tear. I've asked for the Service Manager's supervisor so I can deal with someone different as the Service Manager denied the warranty repair before he even looked...

Do you have any documentation from the warrantied repair? I’m going through this right now and the service manager is trying to say it is normal wear and tear. Mine looks like yours, but worse with an area about an inch square that’s flaked off. The documentation from Tesla approving the repair...

I have the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 minus the foam and I can’t tell the difference.

This seriously worked. Changed name right back to normal and still good to go.

You get the car back?

Perhaps you mean that I’m not an arrogant fool that tries to tell other people how to drive. Thank you.

But people don’t drive that way in ice cars. They don’t slam the brakes on the moment they let off the gas. I understand the concept, and have driven for short periods of time on standard regen and can make it work. For my driving, I choose not to use standard regen for the 0.5% battery or...

I wasn’t complaining about it. This is a thread about regen braking and I have my opinion. There was a thread about user names a while back and I asked why doctors and lawyers seem to be the only folks who consistently list their profession in their user names. Several responses were about how...

Perhaps the way I drive and the way the Tesla rep I rode with drove and the way a colleague of mine drives his Tesla and the way my friend drives her Tesla with standard regen makes me sick People with their assumptions. It’s like nobody can have a contrary opinion.

Presumptuous: overstepping due bounds (as of propriety or courtesy): taking liberties A person who is presumptuous shows little respect for others by doing things they have no right to do: It would be presumptuous of me to comment on the matter. An example of being presumptuous would be for me...

The standard regen makes me sick. I always use low. I’ll sell my Tesla if they remove the low regen option from existing cars.

I have. I wasn’t impressed and my wife and daughter didn’t even notice I’d added the boost. When I refunded it, they didn’t notice either. I may get it someday if they drop 0-60 to 4.0 seconds, but otherwise just not worth it for me.

Why do you need something other than baby wipes?

The white dash has not bothered me or my wife at all. The white interior looks so much better than the black and really distinguishes the car from other brands. I’m biased though as I hate black interiors in any car. Black is the most common color for car interiors worldwide and it just looks...

If you wait, isn’t it a bigger risk that you get rock chips?

Go watch the thousands of videos on YouTube of people abusing Uber and Lyft drivers and their vehicles. That’s with a driver in the vehicle and on camera. You think a sticker stating a camera is on is going to mean anything?

Even if robo taxi becomes an option, your insurance will skyrocket and your car will get beat to crap. How many nice Uber cars do you ride in? Now imagine how they’d be treated with no driver.

As I mentioned, my test had two people that were unaware of the upgrade. Neither noticed a difference in a blind test. Nope. It’s refundable for 48 hours.

How often is your Tesla at 90% or above while driving it?

I don’t think so. I’ve driven several Tesla’s including regular and performance 3’s, X’s and Y’s. My Y pulls really hard and surprises most people the first time they are in it. The upgrade is just blah. A tiny bit better, but just not worth $2,000 to me.

If it has to be at 90% charge to be effective, what’s the point?

78%

I just bought it and didn’t tell my wife or daughter. Once I confirmed download (saw sport mode on the screen), I drove us all to the store. I floored it a few times and did one from a dead stop. I noticed a very slight difference. My wife and daughter didn’t notice at all. That being said, I’ll...

Does it work like a normal software download? I can purchase now and download it later tonight when I get home and hooked up to WiFi?

No I don’t recall.

I charge from midnight to 6 am. Typically the car charges from about 4 am to 6 am because it only needs to charge about 45 miles per day.

After two months charging on a normal plan, I finally got switched over to EVA2 for off peak charging while the family has been careful about energy usage during peak hours...and my bill increased about $30.

So what does PG&E do when more people get solar and battery storage and are off the grid? They are forcing our hand to do so.

Baby wipes do clean the white seats just fine. Ceramic coating is like a great wax that will not protect against rock chips.

Start a class action or whatever and see how many folks sign on.

My Tesla quote was $2.01 per watt, which is $1.49 per watt after tax credit and what they’ve been advertising for a few months.

I have a 1Up. Best rack ever. No clue on fit issues with MY though.

Hi, I'm new to EV's and considering solar for my house. I have a Model Y LR that I drive about 40 miles per day. I charge with a NEMA 14-50/50 amp (30 miles per hour) each night. Is there an easy way to calculate how many panels to add/how much power is used to charge the Y? My system size, not...

But we shouldn’t need to. I have a 2018 Outback with Eyesight and it never has these problems. Thus far, Eyesight is way better than Autopilot.

How did you do the emblem? I’ve thought about white calipers with a black emblem or vice versa for my white on white Y.

I’ve found that interior color affects heat more than exterior color. Black interior is just terrible in the sun/heat. Many people have documented that the white interior holds up perfectly over years of use (try YouTube), yet somehow people still think it doesn’t. That’s fine. Get black like...

I was told by Tesla to try Armor All.

I had my roof tinted with the ceramic xpel tint and I don’t notice any difference. What tint did you use?

I’m considering Tesla solar panels, but not sure of the roof mounting system they currently use. My roof is concrete tile (flat ones, not curved) if that matters. Thanks for any information.

I got a call about delivery, which was a huge surprise. I called CCFCU and asked if they could expedite my approval and check. They emailed paperwork (loan amount, terms, disclosures etc.), I signed and emailed right back. They used funds out of my initial $100 deposit to pay for overnight...

I was approved in two days and they fedex’d check to me overnight. Total of about four days.

Same happened to me. I called them and they said it had been mailed. It was in my mail when I got home that night so it was about a week turnaround.

Can some folks post pics of their ppf on MY up close? Particularly the mirrors, front lower bumper edges. My questions is wear are the seams, if any, on yours. I’ve uploaded a pic of one of my mirrors that I’m not happy with.

Carolina Cooperative Federal Credit Union offers 2.49% up to 84 months with credit over 730. They will also defer the first two payments if you want. If you don’t live in North Carolina, you can join the Carolina Consumers Council online for $20 and that qualifies you for membership in CCFCU.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated.

Hi all. I just took delivery of my MY LR AWD on July 3. I do not have solar on my house. I’ve been charging (NEMA 14-50) at night from approximately 65% to 90% from midnight to 6 am. Only 11 days of this are on my most recent PGE bill, but my bill went up about $120. I just today switched to...

Sucks for me, but maybe some justice for those that had their VIN pulled at end of quarter?

The shop I’m going to use has done about 20 Y’s so far and has had no problem. Is it a fit and finish issue that varies between each car?

Tesla told me, via text, that warranty won’t cover chemical damage. However, I think the more people that ask, the more likely they will help.

Thanks very much. Yes, please update us when you get more information.
