    What do yo do for a flat tire?

    Get the slime kit. It’s the same as the one Tesla sells but much less expensive. So far I’ve gotten two flats in my MY, one in my Clarity, all three times the slime worked and got me to the Tesla service center (or regular tire shop) where I got a new tire and was on my way in about an hour (all...

    Is Phantom Braking Still a Problem?

    I feel like I’m a weirdo here. In 5 months and 4000 miles of ownership its phantom braked on me once now. (I run AP whenever I get on the highway) My old Honda clarity would phantom brake on me once every week or two. The Tesla system has been a dream compared to the Honda adaptive cruise...

    Range on Long Road Trips

    This is the reason I’d choose to view percentage over miles. In my old car (clarity) it would estimate your range based on you past 30 miles of driving efficiency. This made the displayed range vary wildly and was completely useless in my opinion. I.e. To estimate how long till I needed to stop...

    Just finished my first "road trip" and I am not happy with range

    I think everyone hit the points of ev range killers for winter but I just did a road trip here in SoCal with my wife and 2 kids, 75F temps outside and little to no wind. I averaged 243 wh/mi, got basically the advertised range. I exceeded the trip planner estimates by 10% on each leg of my trip...

    Right Repeater Camera Not Working / Fast Right Signal

    Usually a fast signal means something is wrong like a bulb is burned out, but that’s not it since your front signal works. Check the rest of your lights but also the fuses. If it’s not one of those I’d take it in for service something is likely faulty with the wiring.

    FM radio problems

    I frequently have to reboot to get the radio to work. I am able to select a streaming station in my favorites but if I try FM radio or to browse for a new streaming station all I get is a white screen and a spinning load icon in the center. I have to reboot almost daily to get this working

    Can One *Prevent* Auto-Connect to Tesla Service Center WiFi?

    My 2021 model Y got its first update over cellular. I didn’t have WiFi set up in my garage yet, nor connected to my home WiFi and the update came over just fine, so only vector would be via cellular for the update.

    Free Supercharging!

    For me the switch happened on 1/7 and supercharger visits don’t even show in my account anymore

    Big Bear, wrightwood, route 2 and mountain Drives in LA

    Fwiw I used to take my electric clarity with a whopping 89 miles of range up to wrightwood. I would need to charge it up fully at Victoria gardens (near base of Cajon pass) and barely make it up the hill. I had a friend there with a welder, so I could plug into his 6-50 outlet and charge up...

    Free Supercharging!

    I have the same issue with my mirror. I called the mobile service out to fix it and he checked it but said the mechanism was operating as designed. So my take is that it was poorly designed, or designed for full self driving where we don’t need side view mirrors maybe? Lol

    Tesla offers 1 year free supercharging if you buy before Dec 31st 2020

    I picked mine up on the 22rd of Dec 2020 and mine doesn’t say that. Should I call and complain?

    Loud Regen Braking Noise (Cold Battery)

    Im pretty sure they are running the front motor inefficiently to produce extra waste heat to condition the battery. Mine does the same but only when navigating to supercharger.

    RWD MY Waiting Room

    I just ended up cancelling my RWD order and placing a new one, instead of modifying it. I just got my car 3 days ago. I did this to get my friends referral code in there. The $2500 deposit was returned in about 1 week. All pretty seamless in my opinion.

    Mis-matched donut spare diameter okay?

    My last car didn’t have a spare but I kept one of those slime inflator kits in there. Got a puncture flat pulling into Disneyland and I used it. It worked great, made it home no problem and drove it to a tire shop the next day for a patch, it won’t solve every flat but if you get something worse...

    California waiting room Q4

    Picked up my model Y today in Marina Del Rey. I’d have to say it was almost perfect. Only issue I could see was the rear passenger door is a little hard to close, otherwise it was perfect! The car is a dream to drive. Worth the sometimes agonizing wait .

    California waiting room Q4

    Got my VIN today and text saying that it will be dropped off in the next few days. Updated order on Nov 21. Long Range AWD/no options. Super excited!

    California waiting room Q4

    At launch they allowed you to pre order RWD with a $2500 deposit ($48k vehicle price). They removed that option in January 2020 and have pretty much been silent on when they will deliver it since July now.

    California waiting room Q4

    My original SA was unresponsive, went to the store and talked to a new one and she's been great, super responsive and helpful the whole way, might be worth trying someone new. Still waiting on my VIN. LR/White/Black Interior ordered RWD 7/2019, but eventually upgraded to AWD on 11/21 this year.

    Walked by the Marina Del Rey delivery center and they had about 15 Ys of various colors waiting to be delivered. Can’t wait!

    Model Y Long Range Rear Wheel Drive (LR RWD)

    It’s been radio silence since about July. Elon tweeted something about it coming in a few months but no official news from Tesla since. I had my reservation for RWD since July 2019 and finally got impatient and upgraded. With the new California rebate it works out to $500 more than the $48k the...

    California waiting room Q4

    I live right next to the Marina Del Rey delivery center and I walk past it almost every day. They just got a big shipment in, mostly of model X and S but I saw about 6 model 3s they were getting ready for delivery, no Ys. Anyway the place has been pretty empty since November, so I’m a little...

    Vehicle weight listed on website

    Makes sense. Everything else on there is in imperial units, so it would be strange to list only weight in metric. Thanks! I was like I know these cars are heavy but WOW! Haha

    Vehicle weight listed on website

    I was just scrolling through the vehicle specs online and I noticed the vehicle weight is 4416 kg!!! (9700 lbs) this thing weighs almost as much as the fully loaded 16' box truck I used to drive for work... surely this can't be accurate? can it? Model Y | Tesla

    RWD LR Order?

    So I spoke to a SA that could add the referral code, but they were unable since it was originally a RWD reservation. Only way to add the referral code was to cancel and get my $2500 back, then re-order. Wish I could have waited out the RWD bandwagon. Good luck to all of you who are still waiting!

    RWD LR Order?

    So far I've gone twice to speak with SA about this. Both times it hasn't happened yet, so yes YMMV otherwise I'd not be asking lol. Maybe third time's the charm? One of you was kind enough to send me the SA that got it done for you so I'll reach out to someone with a track record. Thank you all...

    RWD LR Order?

    I'm in the situation of having a LR RWD reservation since July of 2019, I was hoping this car would be released, or at least have some more information by now. I need to turn in my lease next week, and I was going to wait until December because I also have a reservation for the ID.4 1st...

    Any rumors on when MY RWD might be released in USA

    I'm wondering the same thing. Ordered mine just after release day. So they've had my $2500 for a long time. I have to turn in my lease next week, so I'll be without a car until they release the RWD. I was really hoping the timing would work

    Efficiency plummeting?

    Not a Tesla owner yet, but I also live near Venice Beach with an electric clarity. Efficiency normally drops about this time for me because of the slight drop in temperatures and having to run the window defrosters in the morning. I usually average about 3.9-4 mi/kWh in summer and 3.3-3.6 mi/kWh...

    RWD MY Waiting Room

    I forgot to change my response, so iuI now. Im still waiting for MY RWD, but i reserved ID4 1st edition as well, so it's really just whoever is able to deliver first at this point. My current lease is ending in a month so I'm hoping the timing works out, but If not I can hold out for one of them.

    VW ID.4 Free Charging for 3 years! Who wants one?

    I'm a very early (not quite day 1, but close) MY RWD reservation holder. I reserved the 1st edition of this. My philosophy is that whoever delivers my car first wins mysmy money my current lease is up in Nov. So I'll be without a car till someone makes the EV I want. Sure, I prefer the Tesla...

    Why not buy a Mustang Mach-E?

    I seriously considered both because for me owning an EV is more important than a brand. I chose the model Y for the following objective reasons. 1. Charging speed: although most of the charging will happen at home, it is a requirement that it replace my gas car, so the occasional road trip with...

    Redditor reports contact by Tesla sales, delivery in February!

    Got a call from Tesla today. The guy opened with something like "Congrats on your Y order, hope you're looking forward to delivery later this year, we are just calling to make sure you're ready..." At this point I was about to explode with excitement until he continued on with a Tesla solar...

    Model Y price change?

    Model Y price change?

    Same thing happened to me (price lowered) it's because when I originally configured (July), base price was $49k. White was something like $1k, autopilot was $3k. Around August they dropped the price to $48k base, white and autopilot were included. So mine went from $53k to $48k for the same car.

    Y vs Cyber

    Id be in the same boat if I didn't need a car at the end of 2020. My intent for the Y is a family camping car, and it fits the bill with a roof rack and a trailer hitch with bikes... The truck would be a much better fit but my lease is up next year and I need to replace it, so the extra wait is...

    Winter trips in the Y?

    I think it would be worth considering that the Y will have V3 supercharging and would be faster at charging as long as they get a V3 along that route. I'm waiting on the Y for this same trip... I'm from LA so a little less of a drive, but I'll still need to charge along the way.
