    Confused about charging in off-peak hours

    I have been using the app by Optiwatt to manage my charging schedule for a couple of years now which offers far more flexibility than the built in Tesla scheduling and provides a lot more information in terms of your charging history and associated electricity costs. Once you link your Tesla...

    SoCal Edison "TOU-D-PRIME" Super Off Peak - How to take advantage of the lower rates?

    I'm also on the Tour-D-Prime. I use the free 3rd party Optiwatt app to manage charging so that it only charges when rates are cheapest (in my case between 8am and 4pm and 9pm and 8am during the winter). To do this you have to link your Utility Provider and Utility Plan in the Optiwatt profile...

    2021 Model Y SR Range Loss (or lack thereof)

    I also have a 2021 Y SR with 36K miles. Recently had the battery checked at the service center and these are the notes they gave. I charge almost exclusively Level 2 charge to 80% since I took delivery of the vehicle in March of 2021.

    Flat tire replacement for stock 19" Gemini?

    I replaced the two rear tires on my Model Y at America’s Tire just 3 weeks ago (ref. my earlier post), and last week tore into the sidewall of one of them on a damaged curb. Fortunately I purchased the warranty certificate and America’s Tire (AKA Discount Tire outside California?) replaced it no...

    How many miles did your original Factory OEM tire last before replacing? (Miles/Wheel Type/ Size/ Tire Brand)

    Just had to replace the rear Continental OEM tires on my 2021 Model Y SR at 27K miles. They were at 4/32. Still have a few thousand miles left on the front. Paid $900 all for the replacements at America’s Tire in Pasadena

    iPhone 14 Pro Max in Model Y

    yes charging an iPhone 14 Pro Max works (to a point) in some Model Y’s and not in others. So far no clear silicone cases will charge my iPhone 14 Pro Max on my 2021+ Console Refresh Model Y (have tried 5 different clear cases so far including the Apple Clear Silicone MegaSafe). Phone charges...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max in Model Y

    Bit the bullet and paid $49 for the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max Clear Case MagSafe and it would not charge so its been returned and back to the drawing board for me again (this is the 5th clear case I have tried and so far no dice!).

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    This case seems to work for some and not others (another user reported it only works when upside down in the charging pad). I guess its luck of the draw. Still have not found a clear case that works in the charging pad consistently for everyone with 2021+ center console refreshed Model Y.

    iPhone 14 Pro Max in Model Y

    They both look to be the same case to me. One from the UK Amazon store and one from the US amazon store. Only difference is white vs graphite? Can’t understand what the difference could be?

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    I got the case on Amazon Prime so I'm returning and getting a refund. Have you had any luck finding a clear case that charges?

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    This issue seems to be isolated to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. My wife has the iPhone 14 Pro and have found a couple of clear cases that charge fine.

    iPhone 14 Pro Max in Model Y

    Received the Spiegen Ultra Mega Fit graphite case yesterday and tested it out but unfortunately it does not charge so its back to the drawing board.

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    The OEM wireless charging pad on the X is a different design than the Y, so I don't think I'll chance the Casekoo your using. According to Finnster, the Spiegen Ultra Mega Fit works on the Model Y 2021+ OEM charging pad so I'll give that one a try (cost is about the same at USD $25). Thanks!

    Thanks. Looks to be the same case just with the white ring instead of the graphite on the USA Amazon site. Cheers!

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    Cross posting this from another thread iPhone Pro Max in Model Y. The Spiegen Ultra Mega Fit is less less than half the price of the Apple MegaSafe case. Was it this one Spiegen Ultra Mega Fit? The OEM Tesla wireless charging pad doesn't support MegaSafe, but utilizes Qi and as mentioned by...

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    Based on an earlier posts on this thread, the leather and silicone Apple cases work, I just haven't been able to source a clear TPU case. Someone needs to make a clear TPU case that does not extend the camera cut out. As you can see from this photo of the totalleecase case I'm currently using...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max in Model Y

    I still have not been able to find a clear silicone/tpu case for the iPhone 14 Pro Max that will work on the Tesla OEM charging pad (2021+ refresh) and have not come across any posts that specifically identify a clear case that works with this configuration (have tried 4 so far). This issues...

    Wireless phone charger replacement

    As I suspected, the Jeda Wireless charging pads are not compatible with the Tesla "USB C + USB C ports (REFRESH MODEL, 2021-2022)". Response confirming this from Jeda below:

    Wireless phone charger replacement

    Received no further reply from Jeda. I don't think the OEM charging pad on the refresh model 2021-2022 is designed so it can be replaced easily with a 3rd party charging pad. I tried searching YouTube but could find any evidence of anyone doing this.

    Wireless phone charger replacement

    Yes, something must have changed to improve the wireless charging Pad on the 2022+ models. When I emailed totalleecase support, they told me I can just keep the case and they gave me a refund less the $5.99 shipping charge as part of their "Awesome Warranty" program which I thought was cool...

    Wireless phone charger replacement

    Is it possible to install the V4 on a 2021+ Model Y that has the Tesla wireless charging Pad? Searched on YouTube and couldn't find anything. I also have a V3 available that I took off my 2019 Model 3.

    Wireless phone charger replacement

    I just received the totalleecase case (I ordered the same one as you), but unfortunately my iPhone 14 Pro Max does not charge when placed on the charging pad on my 2021 Tesla Model Y using this case (photo with the case on and off). I like that the case isn't bulky and fits the phone well, but...

    Vehicle power goes off while in park and talking on the phone via Bluetooth?

    Ok, thanks for the tip. I’ll use Camp Mode from now on. However, seems like this is a bug that should be fixed so that if your sitting in the car with your phone key connected and your on the phone the car should not put itself sleep. Also, timing of when the vehicle goes to sleep is not consistent.

    Vehicle power goes off while in park and talking on the phone via Bluetooth?

    I spend a fair about of time making phone calls from the car while parked and charging and after anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes into a call, the car will suddenly loose power (screen goes black, interior lights turn off etc...). The car either then re-boots and/or I have to put the car in park...

    Cargo liner that isn't a slip-n'-slide?

    Welcome to the sheddy dog club 😂. Our pup loves ridding in the back of the Y and we have the Tasmanian Cargo Liner and seat backs and they work great. We didn’t velcro down the Cargo mat to the carpet so its east to just remove and shake out. That said, there really is no way to contain the fur...

    Tuxmat Carpets

    I have also had the Tuxmats for a couple of month on a March 2021 Model Y. The only mat that seems to fit correctly is the front passenger. Drivers side left panel is too tall and long and buts up against the accelerator pedal cover which causes this side buckle out. The back lip carpet cover...

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    Thanks, yes, I’ll go ahead and follow the pictures. Although, it doesn’t make sense that no decal will be visable on the back bumper (when following directly behind the vehicle) which would seem to compromise enforcement.

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    Thanks for for posting this, I just received the blue 2021 CAV Decals and they didn't come with any printed instructions and I thought I was going crazy after checking the CA DMV site which states the two small decals go on the front bumper left and right and the two large decals go on the rear...

    Is the Model Y the best choice if you have a dog?

    We are fortunate that our pup is happiest just lying down towards the back and looking out the window. She really does seem to love being in the car and lies there calmly which is so funny. I did purchase this the other day (now out of stock) to see if it will help control the hair that sticks...

    NEMA 14-50 Done Poorly, House Panel Upgrade?

    What ended up happening with your panel upgrade? I'm also in the Los Angles area (near Pasadena) and have received 4 estimates from licensed electricians to upgrade from a 100 to 200 amp panel (I already have the meter spot). The estimates I received for the panel upgrade included a 50amp...

    Minor dent + scratch occurred in camera blindspot.

    It may be too late for this as the estimate has already been written and approved by Progressive. However, based on my experience, I think you may well be right.

    Minor dent + scratch occurred in camera blindspot.

    Tuxmat Carpets

    I received my TuxMats a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, there are some fit issues with the drivers side and rear liner on my 2021 Model Y SY that I'm not sure I can live with.

    I have experienced the same issue with the fit on the TuxMat's on my 2021 Model Y SR that I received a couple of weeks ago. The right panel on the drivers side that is supposed to fit flush against the center console is both too long and too high (as shown in your pictures) which causes it to...

    Is the Model Y the best choice if you have a dog?

    Not exactly sure as she was born at the shelter when we got her as a puppy. The mother had more Australian Cattle Dog markings and based on her other characteristics her dad was likely part Border Collie (and probably a few other breeds as well!). She is a very sweet sensitive girl, active and...
