Very low power consumption with SSDs. MAXIMUM power consumption is about 2.8W. That means 560ma. Absolutely compatible with USB-A. SSD will be much faster than sd based flash cards and SSDs have greater tolerance for reading and writing...they are hard drives after all.
For the recent deliveries with VINs in the 40,000s, how is the paint, panel gaps, and overall build quality? I rejected two Ys in the 5 and 6,000 VIN range as the paint and quality were “less than acceptable “.

Just curious what are your last 5 digits of the vehicle’s VIN? I rejected 6205. Horrible build quality. Others at the store in the 6,000s were similar but mine was the worst of the bunch. Definitely early quality issues.
Due to a spine issue I was unable to comfortably get ingress to a model Y so I had to cancel my order. I had previously purchased the gen 3 wall connector with 18 foot cord that was never installed. It is brand new. I paid $500 plus $27.50 shipping. I’d like to get $450 for the wall connector...
Unfortunately due to my spine condition I can't get my head into the model Y. I have a brand new, uninstalled, never opened Gen 3 Wall Connector with 18' cord that I would like to sell. $450 plus $20 shipping. I paid Tesla $500 plus $27.50 shipping. Message me and we can work out details
With a background in refrigeration design the best one can expect is a 20-30 degree temperature drop from external air once the air delivery vents start to cool down. High ambient humidity will lower efficiency as well. Regarding traditional A/C and a heat pump system there is no difference at...
The Tesla store manager told me they won’t mount the front license plate because you could return the car during the 7 day 1000 mile return period. This insures the car could be easily relocated to a state that doesn’t require front license plates. Makes sense but the logic is a bit skewed...
When the hatch on the model Y is opened all the way, what is the distance from the ground to the highest point on the tip of the hatch? I other words, how much vertical height clearance is needed without programming in a lower height opening??
Motor Trend in a recent review says the Dual Motor Y:
"Starting at $54,190, it sports a front and rear motor that combine to make 384 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. The combo is good for an EPA-estimated 316 miles of range and an impressive 4.6 second 0-60 mph time."
They said the Performance Y...
In March Carmax gave me an appraisal of $8,500 for my 2011 Subaru Outback. Tesla offered $5,800 and was hesitant to match Carmax pricing due to the big discrepancy. We agreed to revisit closer to delivery. So with delivery a few weeks away, Carmax re-appraised at the same $8,500 and Tesla at...
Yes, it appears that the true LR models have begun production. I just got a VIN/MVPA today and I have 5YJYGDEE with a sequence number of 62xx. This is a blue/black LR Y with 19" wheels and FSD ordered 9/2019. Still have to see if I can convert from cash to a trade using a carmax quote from mid...
Yes, I know what they are designed for but am curious how they are attached to the seat. If you hook your finger in the seat anchor and pull rearwards, does it pull the seat beck cover or is the metal seat anchor part of the rear seat and held in strongly??
One more question...the anchor point you mention is the attachment for the child seat tether straps...is the anchor point attached to the seat back cover or the rear seat itself? In other words, if you pull on the anchor point is it strong and robust or does the seat back cover bow when you pull...
The gen 3 wall charger is limited to a 60A line/48 A maximum draw...no need to add more current capability as the wall charger can't use it. The Tesla wall charger only uses two hot lines and a ground. To help in future proofing you might ask the electrician to add an extra 6 gauge line for a...
Don't forget, when a compressor starts it will draw about twice the running load for 1-2 seconds. This spike happens on every startup so you have to allow for the full 50 amps in all total calculations.
The patent describes a small resistive heater it’s probably there if needed. However, the patent also describes operating the motors in a special mode to also produce additional heat...basically a less efficient mode that produces some waste heat...just like an ICE vehicle.
One piece casting would provide a higher quality build at lower cost. The one piece casting should be stronger and possibility would be subject to less damage in a crash but I doubt it. As far as repairability it shouldn't make a difference as you're not going to have a casting replaced in a...
All an air conditioner, and any refrigeration system, does is take energy like heat and move it to another location...usually outside the cabin or outside a refrigerator. Air conditioners don't make cold, they remove heat from one location and move it elsewhere. Condenser is outside the...
Yes, in addition the tether points on the seat are designed to pull the car seat and back tether point together so the force by the tether point is to the front of the car. If the tether point was use as a tie down location then the force would be away from the seat toward the back of the car...
Thanks for checking. I agree, a big miss. Tie down are on EVERY other SUV/hatchback from BMW, MB, Subaru, Honda, Toyota, Porsche, everyone I've ever seen. I do carry stuff often so I have to think carefully on this one.
Can someone take a look to see if there are any tie down locations in rear storage area. What is typical in hatchbacks is to have a tie down location on the right and left sides near the rear seats and additional tie downs near the rear hatch. When carrying equipment, lawnmower, or other things...
I asked at my local Discount Tire...they didn't know what I was talking about but they do work on a fair amount of Teslas. I told them I would supply the lifting pads...
All manufacturers have switched to water-based paint as they are more eco-friendly. The layers are very sensitive to surface preparation and to dust and other debris. There are many good reference papers about the technology. Here is one I easily found: https://www.mdpi.com/2079-6412/6/2/24/pdf
Wheels are just one of the variables...don't ignore the fact that there are many more choices in 19" aftermarket tires than 20" versions. There is a substantial price difference as well.
The Model Y wireless charger has one USB-C connector to power both sides of the Qi charger. The USB-A is for audio and Teslacam video/etc. I'm sure both USB-C and USB-A sides can be used for charging and data but if you plan on using the Tesla supplied Qi charger than that needs USB-C. Hence the...
I have a background in temperature control systems and I just finished reviewing the entire patent. This is a very substantial piece of engineering. Think of the heat pump itself like the circulatory heart of the system that can move energy as need from and between different systems as needed...
Our state requires a front license plate. Does Tesla mount a front license plate bracket/holder to the MY before delivery? I've seen 3rd party brackets/holders available for the M3 but Tesla must have some solution to be compliant with state laws...
