Today, driving into Tucson from the south my MY LR AWD (2023) in autopilot and car wanted to switch lanes from the right lane to the passing lane about every minute or less during the ride. Except, I didn't want to move from the right lane?!?!? I did not indicate a turn or make any move that...

My Teslafi app is giving me a problem. It does not recognize my user name on this computer (works OK on my iPad). Keeps switching my user name to another one (which I probably entered once). I contacted Teslafi and was told the issue was with my browser. They don't seem inclined to help me...

I would like to get my M3 SR tires rotated (over 7000 miles on them). In the app checked for Tire Rotation but the "Describe Concern" question is grayed out as is the "Next" option. I'm stuck. Suggestions? Rich Never mind. Figured it out. Kept tapping on the "Describe Concern" question, which...

I have all my menu options set correctly for the doors to lock when I leave the MY (my third Tesla, 2nd MY). I've "rebooted" the car and did a full shutdown. Mirrors don't fold in either. Thoughts. If no one's suggestions work since it's a new car, I'll just call in for service I guess. Rich

Turned in our 2020 lease and picked up our new MY LR AWD yesterday in Tucson. Went over the car carefully. Beautiful build quality. Not looking through rose-colored glasses either. I'm impressed. Rich This is our third Tesla; 2020 MY, 2022 M3 RWD, and now this new MY

I am returning my 2020 MY lease in Nov and wish to buy a new MY. I was contacted by an Ownership Loyalty Advisor out of Fremont who convinced me to order by new MY early. Except I'm on Cape Cod and the lease is to be returned in Tucson AZ. I explained all this to Howard Butler and he assured me...

Just a quickie on phantom braking. Never had much issue with this problem in either our 2020 MY LR AWD or our newer (2022) M3 SR LFP. Took a 2,800 mile road trip starting May 2nd. The first day of the trip, in the MY (AZ to Cape Cod) we had over 1/2 a dozen phantom braking "incidents." A few...

Doing an AZ to Cape run next week. First day's end is in Santa Rosa NM. I'd like to skip Albuquerque and take a short cut from Socorro NM, through Vaughn NM and on to Santa Rosa in our MY LR AWD. 170 miles distance with an altitude rise (and fall) of 1,400 feet. Would save 30 miles. ABRP won't...

I'll be heading back to Cape Cod from Tucson in very early May and will be trying a new route. It's only around 175 miles or so between the two SCs in question, but I don't know if I'll be going over a mountain as I'm unfamiliar with the area. Tesla is a MY LR AWD. Thanks! Rich

This is a bit strange. M3 SR could not locate any WiFi connection (in my garage) so could not get new OTA update loaded. Tried different solutions, even did a "Power Down" of the system. Eventually, out of desperation, tried the double scroll-wheel push. That connected me to my WiFi again...

Had our M3 SR since end of August. When the steering wheel goes into/out of Easy Entry (or anytime it moves in or out for that matter) there is a squeak or kind of a squeal. Don't think it a big deal, just wonder if anyone else has experienced this and if you guys think I should bother to have...

I just received my "order credit" of $200 for the Mobil Connector. Went to the site as indicated (ts.ls/shop) but there is no place that I can see to put my supplied order number in? Any suggestions? Rich

Yes, I know that I cannot "buy out" my leased MY. We decided to lease as this was our first Tesla (now another on order, M3 SR) and I believed the horror stories about quality control. Turns out our MY was perfect. Beautiful car. How the heck can I purchase "my" car from Tesla when I turn it in...

OK, this isn't the biggest problem in the world. Around 90% of the time I first get in our MY it shows a route planned and ready to go. Sure, I just cancel out of it, but wonder if I've inadvertently hit the wrong "on" switch somewhere?? Rich

Waiting for the spouse today while sitting in our MY and wanted to play some YouTube videos. Theater was a black blank. Nothing seemed to get my apps back and everthing else in Entertainment was working fine (?). When I got home figured I'd try to work out the "issue." Did a simple reboot first...

A friend of mine who owns a M3 (I have a MY) had his J1772 adapter get stuck in his vehicle’s charge port when trying to charge a day or so ago. He released it using the manual release but was confounded by what had taken place. He experimented and went back to the same charger location (LI NY...

Yes, I went through the manual. Yes, I looked at every option on my main screen. Yes, I entered various permutations of "access sentry mode event" both in this forum and on Google. How does one access and view a Sentry Mode Event with this new V11 software? Thanks, Rich

Took wife out on a Tesla ride today to check out the Holiday Update. I like the update. Both wife and I agree the blind-spot image would be better positioned if located at the top of the screen and not the bottom. Just sayin'... Rich

Well, you guys are darn lucky I'm not running Tesla (or anything else these days). None the less, if I were I'd offer up two options for customers: 1-LR AWD Teslas using LFP batteries. Yeah, I know the long-range of such a vehicle would be less than with "normal" long-range batteries. But the...

We have a MY and a Bolt. Turning the Bolt in to GM (hopefully) and am interested in replacing the car with a M3 SR+ with LFP battery. We have driven our MY back and forth from Cape Cod to southern AZ a couple of times (last trip was a week ago. 3,345 miles due to visiting friends in NC). Anyway...

EV road-trip in a Tesla model Y from Cape Cod to South of Tucson AZ ~ Sat. Oct 9th ~ Sun Oct 17th Started at 8,900 miles on odometer, ended with 12,335. 3,435 miles total. 28 Superchargers used during trip. First two days were headed to old friend of 45 years, John. He and his wife live in...

Received this email from a friend (model Y owner). Curious if anyone has any idea what happened here: "Took the Tesla for our first big trip to Sedona. All is going smoothly. Had something interesting occur. We pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant and a young woman in the car next to...

Not a biggie, and I've scheduled a service to take a look at the issue. But, anyway, when I close the driver side door I hear (and perhaps feel) a little "thud" sound which indicates something is loose inside the door. Anyone else have such an experience/observation, and if rectified, what was...

Since doing the latest update the other day (forget the exact number) my MY no longer recognized my cell phone’s contact list names. I can make calls, but only by manually going through my cell phone, not by hitting the right control button and saying “Call So and So!” as I normally did...

This is a comparison between our Cape Cod to Tucson trip last October (in our 2019 Bolt) and our return this April in a Tesla model Y. This is not a “Them vs. Us” overview, just sharing my observations on the differences we found in both the vehicles and the fast charging infrastructures. The...

I did a factory reboot during a 2800 mile trip from AZ to Cape Cod due to getting the black-screen of death and not knowing what to do about it. Anyway I lost Easy Entry. Any suggestions for how to get it back. I've done several soft reboots since losing Easy Entry, but that didn't help. Rich

Wife and I drove from Tucson to Cape Cod the last six days. Had the screen go black three times. Made the mistake of doing a back to factory reboot (I didn't have a clue what to do when it happened). Screen went black two more times, both times it healed itself. Watched some videos about it...

Being kinda nerdy I decided to put out an EV Trip Log. Nothing fancy, just a place to store your road-trip info (mostly charging stuff, but whatever else you want as well) in one spot. For those interested, here it is...

I've got Sentry Mode "On" but the little dash-cam symbol doesn't show. It used to, but no longer. Not sure what I've done to displease the Tesla gods, but I must have screwed something up. Any suggestions? Thanks, Rich Edit: Never mind guys. I went back in the "Y" and formatted the...

I've fiddled with the different speed options offered, either a fixed amount over the speed limit or a percentage. Nothing I do changes the actual speeds, which are always no more than 5mph over the posted limit. Not a really big deal, but wondering if I'm doing something wrong? Sometimes...

Amazing what is being spread around the internet. I'm in a "debate" regarding EVs on another forum. This was just posted: I live in Staten Island, New York, about two weeks ago two days after the big snow storm I was in a very large tire store, Wil-John’s getting an inspection on one of my...

I'm trying to figure out the best way to access my favorite FM and AM stations on my MY. If I go through the "web" then I can't use my map (shuts off radio). I'm considering TuneIn Pro, but this ap has pretty poor reviews on Amazon. Any suggestions from those with experience would be...

I was riding as a passenger in our MY today (wife was driving. I'm a brave man...). Wanted to call a friend. Noticed there was no interface on the main screen to make the call, as the little microphone symbol that had been on the front of the old UI was now gone. Anyone know where such an...

Not a "problem" but rather a minor annoyance. Our MY is driven with my wife and I as the sole occupants 99.9% of the time, so we leave the back seats down. When we do so the seat belt symbols for the rear seats go on. Annoying, not catastrophic. My "fix" (which works 100%) was to place some...

The article I read stated it (CCS1 adapter) was first coming out in South Korea(?) early 2021. Suggested it'd soon be available in the states. Great news! Tesla announces new CCS charging adapter but North America launch still unclear - Electrek Rich

I received the email after picking up my MY yesterday for the one year trial. I hit "subscribe" (in the email) and it takes me to the Tesla site. But there is no indication there where I should look in the site in order to start the trial. Could anyone give me a hint as to what I ought to be...

Long ride from Green Valley (2.5 hours or so). A bit confusing at first (the "no humans involved" thing). All worked out when we found a person to assist us. Blue LR MY. Car is, as best I can see, perfect. Nothing out of place. Beautiful paint. Great ride back home, learning the machine. Had...

OK, this is kind of weird. Informed our MY was in and we'd pick it up this Sat in Scottsdale. Wife wants a FOB, so a FOB she is getting. Try and order a FOB. My card is rejected (perfectly good CC). Tried a couple of times then called my CC company. They said the issue must be with Tesla as they...

Tuesday, 10/27 Went for test drive. Ordered blue LR AWD later that day Thursday, 11/5 Notified MY is ready for PU in Scottsdale AZ (we live just south of Tucson) Saturday, 11/7 Will be picking up the MY Not sure why it took so long... Rich

Wife and I did a six day, 2,742 miles ride from Cape Cod to Green Valley AZ last week in our 2019 Bolt. Was an adventure... Anyway, we did the ride as we wanted to reposition our Chevy Bolt from Cape Cod to our AZ home. Well, the trip only made us want a MY Tesla more!! Did a test drive...

Just a thought. I'd pay a good deal for that option, effectively doubling the number of fast charge locations i the nation for my use. How would I suggest such a thing to the company?? Rich

Interesting and thoughtful first review. Rich

Sorry for stealing Baldrick's (from the Black Adder comedy series) line, but, anyway: My wife and I will order our MY end of Nov or early Dec. I want to miss the crazy end of quarter rush which seems endemic to the turning out of Tesla autos. OK, I know it's an assumption that the build quality...

I keep reading about how automatic car washes are death to Tesla paint finishes. Really? Is this stance purely from a purists position or is it a valid concern? Thanks, Rich
