    Are 3D Maxpider Mats still the best choice?

    Having just purchased a 2023 Model Y Performance, I'm looking to get something better than the standard floor mats. I have 3D Maxpider mats in my two Model S's. Are these the best ones for the Model Y as well, and where can we get the best prices on the mats? Thanks in advance TMC.

    With transfer of FUSC, which Model Y should I get?

    I have a 2018 Model S with FUSC (SC05, non-transferable). With the latest offer, I could buy a new Model Y and I believe the FUSC would transfer over to it, for as long as we own the Model Y. That would be great, we would appreciate the faster battery charging, and a battery warranty that...

    2022 Model Y LR White on White, 19" Gemini, with Tow Package SoCal $60K

    Delivered new from Tesla in June, currently just under 4000 miles. Everything runs and works fine. We purchased this thinking it would replace one of our two Model S's, but decided to keep the S's instead. Thought that the Y's extra space, newer technology batteries, and height might make it a...

    Taking the CA DMV License Test with a Tesla

    My high school aged son is taking driving lessons to prepare for getting his CA driver license. His first lesson was yesterday, and the instructor came to our house in a Toyota Camry. In between lessons we are to take him out for practice, and we'll also need to take him to the exam at the DMV...

    Well, I have three Tesla's now so one has to go. Since Wifey likes her S100D and I like the new Y LR, we are selling the Model S 75D. Bought new in 2019 it has treated us so well. No accidents. I like the sunroof, it's so nice to have it because there are so many good weather days here in SoCal...

    New Tesla App - neat look, but no Supercharger Availability info?

    It may be in one of the fancy icons instead of under "Charging" where I usually find it, but I liked how I could see supercharger availability information in the app (without needing to be in the car) to see if it made sense to drive over to the supercharger. Did it disappear with the latest...

    Need new tires, 2018 100D 19"

    Car has about 25,000 miles on it and needs new tires. What's the current opinion on a good replacement? I plan to go to an America's Tire nearby to have it done. I don't need to go fast, I don't need it to last 80,000 miles, but I would love to have a quiet and comfortable ride without...

    Model S Family Trip SoCal to Carlsbad Caverns, NM

    A couple weeks ago we took a family trip from our home in SoCal to Zion National Park in Utah. The 2018 Model S 100D made it so nice! Quiet comfortable ride, autopilot, and stops in Las Vegas and St. George to supercharge. It was such a good trip, we decided to embark on another trip, before the...

    Subwoofer Level in 2018 Model S with UHFS

    Last year I bought a demo 2018 Model S 100D, it had been loaned out to journalists for reviews prior to my purchase (at least, that's the story Tesla gave me). I am the first owner, and it arrived with about 8,500 miles on the odometer. Everything about it is great! I love the car, but...

    What exactly is the UV fix for the yellow band on the touchscreen?

    At first I barely noticed it, but of course after reading about other people getting the yellow band around their touchscreens, I noticed that my car has it too. Made an appointment through the app, and I'm assigned to come into the Costa Mesa Service Center on February 13th. To properly...

    Can diminished value be greater than the cost of the repair?

    And how would I go about asking the insurance company for that money? Last week in my 2018 100D I was the front car in a 3 car chain reaction. It was at a stop light that had just turned green, and while waiting for the three cars in front of me to proceed, a driver coming down the road 2 cars...

    Model S in the snow/cold

    First of all, apologies for my ignorance as I'm Southern California raised so have no winter coping skills. When we drive up to the local mountains in ICE cars, we'd just carry some snow chains in case we got to the point where they made us put on chains. The family is planning a ski trip to...

    It's almost Christmas tree time! Can I bring one home on top of the S?

    We traded out both of our cars for two Model S's this year, one with a sunroof and one without. Last year I just threw the Christmas tree on top of our Toyota Sienna, it had a roof rack so we could tie the tree down. I'm not sure how to do it this year, has anyone ever bought a tree and drove it...

    Can one key fob be programmed to open more than one Tesla?

    Wifey and I each have a Tesla Model S, a 2018 100D and a 2019 75D. We often swap cars, and grab either one when we go places separately. Between us we have 4 car key fobs, 2 each, 1 for each car. Is there a way to program one single key fob so that it can be used for both cars? That way I only...

    When do my brake lights come on?

    My daily commute has me on a Southern California toll road with a fairly large hill in the middle of it. Traffic, as is usual in SoCal, often has us driving well over the speed limit (say, 75-80 in the posted 65) and somewhat close to each other, maybe 2 seconds or less distance between cars...

    Is there an easier way to see my stalkers in Sentry Mode?

    I bought a decent 128GB USB drive to store the TeslaCam and Sentry Mode videos, and with so much space I know it will be a long time to fill it up. I have taken it out to look at the videos once, but because I'm so forgetful what happens is that when I take it out, I always forget to bring it...

    New Owner from Orange County, CA

    Hi there TMC, New owner here from sunny Orange County, CA. Bought my wife a pearl white 2019 Model S 75D back in April. She loved it so much, she only let me drive it when it needed to be charged, hah! It was a leftover showroom car, so we got a great discount on it. Fast forward to June, and...
