    Anyone else think this is a slap in the face for long term FSD buyers?

    It's 2024, now 6 years after FSD was promised by years end. Most of us have paid between 5-15k for this, are not allowed to transfer this feature that was never delivered to a new car (other than one short window must of us could not take advantage of), and still stuck with a beta that we are...

    Sentry Mode is Useless...

    So pissed right now...I live in the NYC and park my car overnight at a city charger when I need to charge it, and found this the next morning: Of course car alarm did not go off and sentry mode caught none of it. Seriously fed up with Teslas gimmick software meant to fool people into thinking...

    Cross Country Road Trip...Must needed items to bring?

    Doing an ambitious NY to Seattle cross country drive with our 3 month old in a few weeks (and yes we have a contingency plan in case he can't handle the long drive). We are definitely bringing a little 12v mini fridge we can plug in the back, and a portable battery bank with 120v output. Any...

    Micro Mice vs Tesla 😂

    Check out this video, these guys have figured out micro second control of autonomous vehicles with low powered CPUs, and Tesla still has not figured out how to keep a car centered in a lane in a curvy road...Sure this is not apples to apples comparison but Tesla really needs to take a hard look...

    What are people that bought Full FSD doing?

    Im quickly approaching the boat where I'll want to upgrade this year/next but have full FSD on the car. When I bought in 2020 I didn't have any doubt that Elons promises would manifest by now, but I was clearly duped into dumping thousands for FSD for features that have still not manifested in...

    Low Power Sentry Mode

    I live in the city and sentry mode is useless for the one case I want it recoding: when a car is moving in a space in front or behind me so it can catch bumper scratchers. All it does is just catch all the people walking down the sidewalk and burns a full battery every two weeks for no...

    New York ETA?

    Anyone heard when Tesla insurance will be available in NY?

    FSD Beta and Snow

    So after a few snow drives in FSD Beta 10.8.1 with the recent storms in Northeast seems like beta has zero training/logic for snow/icy conditions. Another sad side effect of a cali/texas car company making cars for worldwide conditions but assuming everyone drives in 70 degree whether 24/7...

    v11 Trip/wiper screen?

    So where did the trip computer that shows miles driven since last charge, miles for trips etc go? Can’t find it anywhere. Also can’t find the wiper setting?

    Cracked Roof...

    Looked up on this nice day and noticed this gem...roof glass cracked almost halfway across the glass. Started on the edge at a point high in the roof, so don't see how this could be from a rock chip. Any chance Tesla will cover this or am I screwed and need to foot the bill for the whole top...

    Sentry Mode Useless in City...

    So I leave my car parked in the street in NYC, where you need sentry mode the most. Current power draw using sentry mode makes this feature unusable in city environment. I Charged my car on Monday to 50%, and its now Friday and its at 22%. So im literally burning 22kwh a week just running...

    FSD Beta Opt-Ins that have not received Beta stuck on 32.22?

    My car usually receives the latest updated within a week or so of being released. Noticed I have not received any of the new 36.x updates in the last few weeks. I wonder if everyone that is in the FSD Beta queue is stuck on the 32.22 FSD Beta opt in version until they are eligible for FSD Beta...

    Feeler: 2020 MY Blue Performance - FSD - 17k Miles - NYC area

    Thinking of selling my MY since I moved back into NYC and dont need a car anymore. This is a Blue Performance with FSD upgrade and Black interior. Car is in excellent condition other than a few rock chips and small wheel rashes. Car is stock except for clear protection film on bumper, lights...

    Premium Connectivity options going forward?

    My one year trial just ran out on my MY. I dont see anything on it that justified the 10 dollars a month charge. Seems like connecting iPhone hotspot if I want music streaming etc works fine. Has anyone figured out a seamless way to connect hotspot? Tesla automatically turns off the wifi when...

    FSD Beta Geofenced out of NYC area?

    I haven't seen a single FSD video in the northeast/NYC. I always wondered how the hell FSD would manage all the craziness in NYC, and it seems tesla knows this will be a challenge as I have not seen any testing in NYC. Hope its not the case for the Beta Download button, but I bet this will be...

    Cold weather drivetrain stuttering/knocking

    Took MY out yesterday in sub freezing temps with no preheat (yea I know I forgot and had to head out quick). Battery pack was frozen with 0 regen available. My driveway is steep and soon as a pull out I lift off gas and car starts stuttering and knocking with loud noise coming from engine...

    WTB 19" Wheels that fit MYP

    Looking for a winter wheel set. 19" and have to fit the Model Y performance calipers. Can come with tires but they need to be winter tires.

    What Happened to Tesla Insurance?

    They were talking about a Tesla Insurance 2.0 launching nationwide earlier in the year, and crickets since. IIRC they were supposed to launch in a bunch of additional states by end of the year. Has anyone heard any updates regarding this?

    Is 2020.44.10.1 the last version before rewrite FSD?

    So rewrite FSD has jumped to 2020.44.10.2 which is obviously the next version after the general fleet version out now. I wonder if this means Tesla is planning no further updates until general rollout for rewrite FSD? Maybe others here know more about their versioning system, but it does not...

    They actually did it!

    I know there are a lot of threads, but this video that was just posted pretty much shows that the FSD rewrite is a true world self aware driver, and not a simple dumb "follow the lines" programing that went into the current version...

    Idle Battery Drain Significantly Reduced?

    Looks like battery drain has been finally put under control with one of the recent 20.16.x releases. Parked my car at 60% on friday morning with sentry mode on, and its still at 58% as of now. Pretty impressive, since it was draining around 4% a day with sentry mode on before, and 1-2% a day...

    Tesla Swapped My Model Y for a P100D X!

    So I dropped of my MY for what I thought was going to be a quick service to fix outstanding factory issues last Thursday (fix non working coat hooks and trunk getting stuck while opening). They gave me some old 2012 loaner model s and told me to come pick up my car the next day. Friday I check...

    Battery Milage over Time for Model Y

    Wonder if the Model Y suffers from the same initial large drop in range as the Model 3 battery does (seems most model 3s loose a large portion in the first 10k miles then level off). I just put 1400 miles on mine over the past 5-6 weeks and my range has gone up ever so slightly so guess thats...

    Dashcam viewer bugged?

    Viewer was working fun when I first tried it and now it seems to be bugged to hell. UI is all messed up and have not been able to get it to work again. Tried rebooting the MCU and pulling the usb drive to no avail. Any suggestions?

    M3/Y Performance Upgrade over Time?

    Been watching all the cool free upgrades MS Performance has been getting over the years. I haven't seen anything similar with the M3 Performance since its introduction (other than track mode which does not do anything for 0-60). Now that the MS is down to near 2s territory, do you guys think...

    Side Cameras for Parking...

    Anyone else disappointed this is not a basic feature? Tesla has the best cameras on any car, but does not use them for an obvious use case to be able to see the curb when you are parking. Im spending way to much time making sure im not curbing these 21 inch wheels.

    AP Close Call

    So was driving down Taconic yesterday which is a petty narrow and windy highway in NY and everything was going smoothly in a seemingly easy stretch of road for AP, until I started approaching and passing a car with a bike mounted on its rear with a slight bend to the highway. Car was driving...

    Mud Flaps? Rear Door Chipping Bad :(

    So this is the rear door after just 500 miles....riddled with chip marks from road debris coming from the front tire. I haven't even driven in dirt road or bad weather yet. My last car had a clear film in this area just for this issue...tesla does not have this or mudflaps from the factory and...

    Tesla Service Wiped Sentry USB Drive?

    Dropped off Y yesterday to fix some Issues with trim and tail light alignment, and to my surprise I found my USB drive unplugged and in my cup holder. Figured no big deal they removed it so there was no recording while it was in service (even though why they would do this at all is a little...

    V3 SuperCharging on Y?

    Anyone tried V3 superchargers yet? There is one that I will be driving through next week, but the highest charging I have seen is about 120kw on a 150kw supercharger.

    Does UMC Stay Locked if Power is Cut?

    I have to charge my Model Y outside sometimes, I know the charge is locked in place, but obviously someone can yank that plug out on the brick end. Worst case someone steals the 35 dollar adapter. I just want to make sure the lock is still in place in this case so they cant steal the whole...

    Car Cover for Y

    Anyone found a good alternative to other than what tesla is selling for 300 for an outside car cover? Sometimes leave my car parked outside for a week without driving it so would rather have it covered up during that time.

    Model Y is Alive!!

    So yea, this happened today when I got in the car. Weirdest thing ever...looks like the car came alive and was trying to navigate itself away lol. I got out to try and make it stop but it started rebooting itself (tesla logo came on). Haven't seen it do it since then.

    AP Camera Quality

    Just picked up my Model Y last week and had a chance to check out Dashcam and sentry mode. Kinda surprised by the camera quality considering this is what the system "sees" for eventual full autonomy. Does not seem like it could even read signs clearly at night with these camera modules. Wonder...

    Version Number?

    What version number are all your Model Ys on currently? Mine is at 2020.5.10.3. This seems to be an older version...anyway to force an update in the car or does user have no control over updates?

    AutoPilot and Animals

    So picking up my Model Y this Thursday in the northeast, and deer and large animals are a huge issue here. Ive hit deer twice, and just ran over a massive raccoon a few months ago that took out my front fender. Im hoping autopilot can see animals darting across the road and do evasive action...

    Anyone Pissed Tesla Letting Employees all over our cars?

    Just Sat in a Model Y. Took a Million Pics Normally I wouldn't make a fuss over this but considering all the cars were seeing in pics are 70K+ performance versions (and the one linked above could literally be my car, exact same config), its kind of discouraging to see employees sitting, opening...

    Best Model Y video to date!

    It’s in Russian but this shows off the whole car in all angles with a person next to it and a comparable GLC Benz parked next to it. Really shows off how big this car is and how little it looks like a M3 when you see it up close!

    Ghetto NEMA 6-20 Charging with two 120v 20a outlets

    So getting my Model Y in a few weeks, and dont have time to do an expensive 30-50A line run from my fuse box to garage for dedicated charger (box is in basement and would require lots of work and wall cutting to run a new line to garage). I looked around with these crazy expensive 120-240v...

    Payment Before Delivery?

    So I have completed everthing, have a VIN, and just need to get insurance and a final payment to be made. I figured I would just bring a check during delivery, but want to make sure tesla is not waiting on a payment before they actually schedule a delivery date for the car. Delivery is in NY if...

    New York Rebate

    Anyone know if the New York EV rebate is based off MSRP or full purchase price? I know the NJ one is just base MSRP...cap for NY is 60k to get the 2k discount, after that its just 500. Sucks the that performance is 61, and just misses that. NY is one of the largest states...dont know why tesla...

    Trim Level order breakdown?

    Is there any data from M3 showing breakdown of orders between Performance/LR AWD/etc? This would probably apply pretty closely with MY. Last I heard there was 100k MY pre-orders, so lets say 20% of those are performance we could estimate roughly when each trim level would start shipping if...

    Additional Interior Options?

    Wil there be more options opening up closer to delivery? I see some custom M3 interiors (like carbon fibre in the center console area). How do people get these custom options?
