Just figured I would close the loop. I've charged here twice already- looks further away from the highway than it is on the map IMO. Using it now instead of Booton for that sweet 250.

I would say Very Late is the new normal over the last 3 years.

I don't think so. If I recall the cement was there without any superchargers for quite a while (like 1.5 months). Just tubes and wires sticking out of the cement. Then in a blink it was all setup- no more fence, but still not on. Near the transformers there was a large tube that would...

So I just drove by this location today- and I popped into the parking lot to see what's going on... the answer: Nothing. There is absolutely nothing going on there, not even the delivery of stuff. So I would say the Tesla Supercharger map of Q4 2021 is a bit off.. Honestly knowing how the...

FYI- I bought Michelin Silicone blades and they didn't fit on the MY passenger side either (though driver side was fine)- so I did a rubber, silicone transplant with the OEM hardware. Here is my comment from a different thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6227017/ Unfortunately, I...

you know I didn't take pictures... sorry about that- I had a plan until it was supposed to storm and my wife needed the car- and the slow, document process went out the door. That said- the Michelin driver side one just fits on fine out of the box... So what I did was put the driver side one...

So I did a wiper transplant. I took the OEM one apart- ends off and removed the 2 metal rails (the OEM wiper is sandwiched between two metal rails that go down the length of the wiper). I removed the new silicone part from the wiper I bought and put it between the 2 rails- put the OEM wiper...

In my case I think it just stopped... I mean I may hear a soft buzz, but nothing like it used to... I just figured it was a software update. That said we haven't been very cold this winter so far... so I'll let everyone know if it comes back.

So the connector cannot be removed... so that's a fail. BUT the rubber is fairly easily changed. Now I haven't done it yet with my passenger wiper, but I experimented with the old driver side one (we have the remnants of the hurricane hitting NY with lots of rain- the day to mess up is not...

So since my driver side worked no problem- I'm going to try a connector transplant :) I'm going to try to take the old driver side wiper connector and attempt to install it over the top of the passenger Michelin wiper.. the issue I think isn't the blade but the huge part on top that the arm...

I'm not sure this is the same for everyone, but I bought the Michelin Endurance XT Silicone blades for my 2020 MY and the passenger side does not fit. Yes removing the tabs let me put it on the arms (unlike what was discussed above) and they fit on the arms fine... BUT the Michelin wipers make...

This is a bummer because when I got my MY in June of 2020 I did get the $2K rebate. What I personally think Tesla should do is allow anyone to purchase the base model and then not require the Long Range option to be added at configuration time (but you still can), but also give an option to...

So I've had my MY now for over a year and it was my first time with Autopilot. I love autopilot and I like how it works today- But I'm not very comfortable with the camera deciding what it thinks I'm doing. I mean I'm being attentive, hand at 7pm on the wheel and not doing anything stupid...

So actually at service right now... they said my car is not part of the bolt issue so "I'm good"- BUT interestingly my VIN had an "advisory" to replace some sensors for the A/C that they will be doing today with my other service. That's something I didn't know....

I have nothing for my VIN either- BUT I happen to have a service appointment in a few days on my 2020 MY. I'm going to ask them when I get there about this- we'll see what they say... I'll report back.

I have a Y and love it- though I would agree that the suspension is rougher than an S/X; but that said my vote would be for a Y because of the upgraded charger/ quicker charging times at superchargers vs older S/X.

I have a MY- so I'm not in your boat exactly.. but I have 2 nearly adult kids one already over 6'1" and 90% of everything we do is with the MY.. and right now they fit just great. BUT I used to have hybrid Camry when we used the car seat (Camry with 1/3 of the trunk), and I agree that the car...

Ghost Named after the ship in Star Wars Rebels- its was Fast, maneuverable, and could quietly sneak in and sneak out. Also you can find car things named Ghost because of Rolls Royce. :)

2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid- yeah, the MY was a nice upgrade though the Camry was great (and my gateway drug to an EV).

You guys are lucky! I've tried twice with NY. Contact them and they said I have to send a letter or a fax. Fax, ok.. did that.... Nothing... contacted... never got it... So snail mail it was.... Nothing... never heard about it. Maybe things have changed since the summer- so I'll try it...

So I have friends that are volunteer firefighters and the one thing I know about them is that they are more prepared than a boy scout- and that usually means extra stuff in their car. Likewise I see you're in Florida... So I would suggest maybe a Model Y Standard Range... It has over 240 miles...

I believe it states it should only be hardwired... Not saying you technically can't do the other, just saying on page 2 of the installation manual it says: WARNING: The Wall Connector must be grounded through a permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding conductor and on page 5 it says...

Personally I'm thinking instead of adding charging to gas stations, the future charging infrastructures should be run by churches/buildings with big parking lots that are in walking distance or towns that operate parking lots for downtown. Churches and towns could get a little cash, and then we...

So this is really a "capt obvious" post... but I thought I would share anyway... its been on the colder side here in the Northeast recently and I have a MY - with the heat pump. So I'm going to talk about this like its a single trip, but I've been noticing basically the same thing on several...

I had a friend that this happened to with their brand new M3 2 months ago. I told them the same thing- book an appointment but you know I'm a computer geek so just for giggles I said, do a hard reboot (cause it never hurts)... The reboot allowed it to finish within the next 30 mins of driving...

HA- you beat me to it... I'm going to paste some of the details just so it shows up in search engines on the site: Makes/Models/Model Years: TESLA/MODEL Y/2020 Mfr's Report Date: November 17, 2020 NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V-709 Components: SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM Potential Number of...

You know- it just hit me what you might want to do... Depending on your electric company- many electric companies have an option to install a 2nd power meter just for EVs. This way you can do a time of use rate on that one meter and save money when you recharge on non-peak hours. Since you...

So I was a DIY guy so I can't comment on the cost... BUT I would suggest asking what kind of wire they are running... I ran 4 gauge wire vs 6 because my run was so long and I wanted to support the 48amps of the Tesla charger... I only bring this up because if you're paying for the run, you might...

So I thought this was a great point... I have 2 places I know that for some reason the speed limit in the Tesla goes from 50mph to 35mph and back to 50mph over less than a quarter mile- even with the new speed limit sign reading (which is not what the real speed limit does- it just stays...

Just FYI- this discussion just made me think about other ways to open your charge port- like talking to Siri, etc. So... I believe the app Tesla Commands can create siri shortcuts to do all sorts of things including operations around the charge port. This includes adding shortcuts to the new...

Mine was also resolved by firmware update. Guess lucky me.

When I got my MY in June, I had a lot more phantom braking on the interstate, but I really don't get phantom braking now... Except I have noticed that blinking lights at night- like trucks running hazards because they are moving slow or on the side of the road- I get phantom braking about a...

I'm wondering if the 7 extra miles of range I got with the new software version is actually created by less, let's say "gratuitous battery warming?" Lately I have seen the dots in the regen area longer than I've seen in the past but it has been colder here in NY Metro Area- so that could be it...

I don't know- you're screen doesn't look like mine... I am IOS and there is no mileage number on the green in mine. I will point out that even though you're pictures shows 1 less mile your green bar went higher... BUT I just noticed you said MYP- I'm just MY-Long Range... I'm attaching the...

Yup... Me too... I heard about this so I waited till the car charging was completed- took a screen shot, started the update- took a screen shot during the update, and then a screen shot right after the update. Nothing else changed and boom... a few more miles of range, just like magic...

Flat tires Stink! I will point out another car that doesn't have a spare... My Toyota Sienna AWD- yup, no spare (the AWD system takes up the spare space) but Toyota makes you use Run Flat tires. As the tire place said to me... "Yeah, run flat tires- none of the performance, half the millage...

I have a MY with a Tesla charger, 60amp breaker but I usually just charge at 35 amps... yesterday just got the error message for the first time 32amps vs my normal 35... I unplugged.. re-plugged... unplugged... replugged and I was back to 35amps.... then charged during the day today, no...

HA! Welcome to the Tesla Wait Club- where you buy stuff waiting for your Tesla! Been there when I preordered my MY. Charger, screen protector, SSD Drive, and I got a floor mat for the trunk. Oh and one more thing that is very important since you look like you're from a state with a front...

Yup- it comes with carpet mats; I lived with them from June to Sept (I'm in the NY Metro Area) and they were... Fine... Just Fine but really a magnet to all loose things like leaves, grass, etc on your feet and then it is really hard to vacuum them off. Labor day I got nicely fitted rubber...

Just remember its only for the first $1500... still cool though.

So I was the person that said you really need to push the stalk all the way to initiate the lane change if you're not auto-changing. Now that isn't exactly true... my first time using Autopilot I put into this forum my experience and it was funny- someone replied something like "You should read...

So I still use the confirm lane change- but I do let Autopilot do most of the lane changing for me... (hint- you need to fully engage the blinker to change lanes... if you do the just give it tension to make it blink it may abort in mid lane change when you let go- which does not make my...

So that noise was half the loudness it was before I unplugged it. But for me- the charging time was correct. What's interesting is that this was the very first time its done this. I've had the car since June- 4k miles ago and 98% of the charging was from my garage- same setup. So either...

So that buzzing noise! YEAH, my Model Y just got it too today! My car has been idle for about a week and plugged in. I just checked my app because I was curious if there were any software updates, but no... and it woke up my car. Then I hear BUZZING... VERY LOUD BUZZING coming from the...

So here is the Hudson Valley NY- delivery plus supply and all the other crazy fees... $0.185/kWh This does include the $20/month just to have a meter and be connected.

Very cool data... As a person from the Northeast, I think in most cases up here (I'm about 2 hrs north of NYC) the electric is cheap but the delivery cost is HUGE- like many more times than the cost of the electric. So solar savings may not be huge by kw but it helps a lot because you don't...

So to get back to the original question... Accessories that are unusual... Here are my 3 not normal accessories that I really like on my MY: Cell phone holder that clips to the top of the screen with a sunglasses holder in the back...

So I've never had a car with mirror blind spot warnings (or any blind spot warnings) so I can't talk about missing them. That said, I can say the on screen view of the cars around you does not help me when changing lanes.. Cars fall off the screen before they are far enough away for me to want...

So I'm like you... But this is what I did... I started by putting a light under the car right behind the front tire. I took my cell phone out and went selfie mode, put my phone under it and I could see it on the screen- but I took a picture so I can see both nuts. If you're worried its...

Can you ask your power company to install a 2nd meter right next to your car? (I'm assuming above ground/ pole wiring, below that would be too much pain.) Not sure if that is free/cheaper but then you can just charge up your car completely separate- including bill- and you could even just have...
