    MYP Matrix Headlights

    Back of napkin math says at least another year based on previous trends. It took 2.5 years to get track mode on the Y performance. At lest until 2022.40 to get really usable auto high beam. All in all, progress… 😂 but sure 2 weeks!

    Rear Carbon Fiber spoiler lose on MY?

    The key is the use of 3M Adhesion Promoter 06396. Tesla will replace the whole spoiler, they did on my 2020 MYP multiple times, On my 22MYP I just fixed it the right way, go to eBay find a precut 3m tape kit for the Y spoiler and replaced the tape, but use the 3M Adhesion Promoter 06396! IT...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    Chip " shortages" were the reason, they cut a few production months the dual charge controller and other stuff, back in 2021. Now, most are back.

    Model Y Spoilers

    < The Main issue I learned whenever the spoiler didn't stay attached well, is the lack of surface prep and most importantly the failure to use 3M Adhesion Promoter. I replaced the tape in my failing spoiler, cleaned the surfaces with 90% alcohol, and used the Adhesion Promoter, not only has the...

    March 2022 Model Y doesn't match Owners Manual. Has no USB or USB-c ports to play USB music!

    2022 Y's and 3 were hit with the " Chip shortage", they removed some data chips from the center console module, that's the same reason you don't have "Cuphead" in the car, needs a gamepad. I suspect at some point, tesla will either sell or enable the BlueTooth gamepad compatibility, but for now...

    Model Y Performance too low?

    It's the mudflaps, happens all the time with my YPUP, well until I shaved them a bit.;)

    How well does a new 2022 MYP ride?

    Tesla doesn't always change part numbers unless it's a specific difference or function or legal requirement, think the heated rearview mirrors vs auto-dimming, on the early Y's. What will happen is that there's a " Revision" mark indicating the change but that's only found on the part and maybe...

    Model Y/3 Pedestrian Speaker retrofit - now available for certain vehicles

    I will say my local tech, is open mind kind of guy so that works on my end, if your local ones are more protocol, maybe this why you got run around, sure you can lift remove aero shield and do it that way, but that takes extra time or equipment, alternatively, you can go, turn steering to left...

    Model Y/3 Pedestrian Speaker retrofit - now available for certain vehicles

    Just had today done, it IS mobile compatible, Manny the local FL Mobile tech is an OG tech one of their best, literally 20 minutes and done, a lift is Not required, this is the problem with Tesla and their communication, whoever manages scheduling is done at the local SC and they aren't always...

    Which has lower depreciation percentage - MY Perf or MY AWD?

    Ding ding ding, you sir are correct, I paid 69k back in March 2020 for a Y PUP, for giggles I asked for a trade-in quote last week, Tesla offered 41.7, Carvana 47 Vroom, 46 that's with 25k miles 0 mistreatments or track(still waiting on track mode Elon...) and perfect care. Performance...

    Soo, a bit of a long shot, but is it still available?😁

    My new Model Y

    A lot has to do with the build cycle, if it's nearing the end of qtr, sales, the pressure mounts to make more and more and things happen. Hopefully once Berlin and Texas are up, the quality should significantly improve.

    My new Model Y

    Hello, unfortunate hand-off you got it does vary on location and team, here in FL the sales team is pretty ok and will explain some basics even when they are rushed, hopefully, the service side, will give you some confidence back, as they usually will fix these probs reasonably and are helpful...

    Model Y Auto Dimming Side Mirrors - Backwards compatible?

    The harness car side has the connector fully populated, comparing the old and new mirror connector the new one has the added cable pair for the dimming. Hence the issue is the vehicle side, most likely the computer not knowing it's there, the same issue with the pedestrian speaker, all 3 cars...

    Model Y Auto Dimming Side Mirrors - Backwards compatible?

    This appears our only option for now: Tesla Model Y Fun fact, the heated steering wheel is retrofittable as well...;) but alas same issue, no official way to tell the car it has the part.

    Model Y Auto Dimming Side Mirrors - Backwards compatible?

    Well, the good news is parts fit as expected, connector worked, full opening/closing and mirror controls, etc. The bad news is dimming did not activate when I tested it tonight. I suspect it's the same as when I added the pedestrian speaker, connections are there but the computer is not aware...

    Tesla only vehicle

    The vehicles 12-volt battery powers the contactors of the main pack, so if the 12-volt battery Revere fails you, the car cant power on, on the front bumper where the tow hook is there is a terminal to attach the jumper box, by going so the 12-volt system power on and you can drive the car to...

    Tesla only vehicle

    Actual major mechanical issues are rare, especially in the current state of the production, now over 1 yr with lots of components have gotten updated and improved, so they are rare. Occasional bad motor or some component, but usually either it fails in the first few days or it just works. And...

    Model Y Auto Dimming Side Mirrors - Backwards compatible?

    Well, a few months passed and that means wrecked Model Y's are appearing post-OCT 2020 builds, hence dimmed mirrors are appearing for parts, Looked around and it appears both the Heated and the Dimming are sharing the same connector harness, per actual part and connector pin #'s, I know on the...

    2021 Model Y Tire Options for better ride & range

    I got 2 Y's, one PUP with the 21's owned for a year + and an SR with 20" owned for a month. I have both 19 and 21" wheels, got the extra set for the PUP, got the OEM 19" rims, and put continental all weathers for out of state trips. Except for a bit of ride softness and some range increase on my...

    Tires! A Cautionary Tale

    Good tip. The good thing about the little guy, creativity and at least tries some of the big places worry about liability and maybe some lack of information as these can be fixed, on the 3 with the 19" ppl had the same issues as the continentals as they had the acoustic foam. Side note the tire...

    Is Phantom Braking Still a Problem?

    It is still an issue that happens in the same area on my daily commute, in the past 2 years it has significantly improved, only 4 times for me in the last 6 months, at this point only happens around the same 2-3 overpasses, it stills hesitates, also it very dependant on the time of day/shadow...

    MY heat pump performance in hot temperature

    Can't vouch for 110-degree weather but 99-104 temps here in FL last summer "0" issues, if this helps a bit to you. There have been some questions regarding more artic conditions, from our friends in the north, but the discussions evolve into the refrigerant variety and its min temp etc. But I...

    Tesla Model Y Long Range Only Hits 220 miles in Real World Test

    Took Delivery Today

    Do note Y is great vehicle, size is perfect for Me and Mrs.( she loves it over her car), but there is some drawbacks for some on the PUP variant. Im not referring to build quality type stuff either, I've only had minor problems which most are fixed, even today with the vins in the 120k's they...

    Buying TPMS Sensors

    2 common options are, either open a service ticket and under "other" requests the over the counterparts. Pass by an SC if nearby and ask to buy them. You'll need the securing nuts that they use to attach to the rim. its a different part# few cents each, they should be aware of that but FYI.

    2020.48.26 Did you get Boombox?

    It seems there is a lot of inconsistencies throughout the SC's, some have done one of the installs, others will sell you parts no prob but will not install, others will not order parts. Very disorganized, aka Normal Tesla stuff, when it regards to retrofits, upgrades, etc, LOL FL SC's will...

    Model Y Spoiler

    As a PUP owner here, lets just says the OEM spoiler SUCKS, I am on my4th one, it is too stiff and has imperfections on fit, so it has to be exactly placed perfectly to the 3m tape won't catch on, since the hatch is so thing, metal wise, too much flexion can have the edges separate and from there...

    Trade in a 2020 MY for a 2021

    It's debatable if your only focusing on the free supercharging, there's a limit to it etc... not that much savings and the depreciation is more of a loss. Having said that, the front sides laminated glass, dimming side view mirrors, and the USB 3.0 glove and the taillights box are the only real...

    Is front hood gap "within spec" ?

    That's is "not to spec", SC should fix it as long as you report it. Hold off on the PPF till that gets fixed.
  41. mac9899

    Lift Gate Damage

    Get a quote from a reputable paintless dent repair, the hatch itself has a lot of dead space which should make it possible to fix, I took apart mine to fix a taillight issue si I can attest there is space for their tools, a decent dent repair place should be able to take care of it.

    Model Y -- One tail light comes on while charging ???

    Not a feature I'm aware of, neither my 2019 M3 LR RWD or early MY PUP does this. Take video of it as well submit a service inquiry on the app and see what they reply.

    Wire clothes hanger works, suction cup also works. You might have the removal tool in glove box. alternatively: Prime Ave Wheel Lug Cap Cover Removal Tool for Audi & VW Part# 6X0 012 243 or 8L0 012 243 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075M33TTV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NOzNFbS9WMC3T

    21” Uberturbine rim color

    For the 4 set look in eBay. Cheap sets are appearing. Same for the Ubers. As for fixing. I use wheelsonsite.com. They have fixed all 4 wheels for me. I scratched 2, wife 2. So we're 50/50. Just bought a set of 4 Gemini wheels on eBay for my long trips.

    Long Range Suspension is too hard!

    I have the performance with 21" So I can definitely relate to the stiffness, hehe I opted to get the Y19"s off an eBay and after I test them I will probably get the unplugged performance suspension upgrade.
