It is a very capable cross over and yes high 11's is fairly quick. With working from home, I don't need the extra space or seats and there are a lot of other things I would rather be driving. Compared to all the other vehicles I've owned it's not the fastest or best handling by far. That was...

Everything has changed from what I got to the car to today. I've only put a few thousand on the car, which was mostly a road trip. Since I will be able to work from home indefinitely, I want something more enjoyable to drive. Shame that it didn't hold it's value more, but understandable since...

Looking to get rid of the Y for something else but having a hard time finding a good trade-in or private party value for the car. KBB only has the 3 for 2020 and Edmunds doesn't consider FSD.

You have to spend a lot more money to go fast than the Y in a SUV. I also believe that Tesla is holding something back as the 60' times are pretty meager.

That's why too broad of a claim to make. I have absolutely no need for the super charging network and based on the number of Leafs and other low range EV's I see on the road, I'm not the only one.

Shouldn't be any different than an ICE car. Heck, when I took our BMW in last week for an oil change, they offered to buy my Y off me out right when they saw it in the parking lot.

I did the the matte black shell and pretty happy with it. No issues getting it line up and it did wrap around the front/back edges and the cup holder edge but not the sides. I can see the carbon fiber being more of an issue. The one thing you can do is wrap the matte shell with a better...

They make abs covers that do a really good job and are much easier to install than vinyl.

Tesla has simplified the manufacturing process to such a level that things like Homelink would not work well. The are basically building large batches of the exact same car without variation, even down to the color options. I'd rather seem them get that process down pat before each unit coming...

@Wennfred curious how it will hold up. Some of their product information images aren't the most inspiring.

I just put my email in and purchased after getting notified. Got mine at the beginning of March before my car came in.

The car is looking for resistance against the steering wheel when it turns. If you are going straight, at a low speed then there is probably little chance for you to provide physical feedback.

Happened to me when test driving a 3. Was not the most confidence inspiring thing when you are experiencing the car for the first time.

I'm considering getting my wife the Key Fob since it would be much easier than fumbling with the key card. How easy is it to accidentally open the hatch if it's in her purse?

Sometimes my iPhone 11 Pro Max does this. I will approach the car and the door won't unlock. If I give it a few seconds, it will work and let me in. Mostly has happened after the car has been parked for a longer period of time.

Why would there be a 15% loss in an electric car? It's not a complex transmission, doesn't have a drive shaft or a center differential. You are also comparing a vehicle that makes it's power down low and rolls off as you gain speed. The cars you listed all make the rated power in a 1:1 gear...

I use ONR during the winter when it’s too cold to bring out the hose and do it by hand. Otherwise I use a foam canon and then wash it by hand using a two bucket approach. I could see doing ONR exclusively if you didn’t want to hand wash.

Mine also does this and it's pretty noticeable.

Yet you don't talk about actual write durability or the fact that over 140F in a Tesla is not going to happen.

The packaging of the flash memory determines if it’s suitable for home or high temperature environments. Typically the NAND flash in an SSD is magnitudes better in quality and have a much higher TBW than even high endurance flash. The ones you linked are very poor compared to something like a...

After the experience of getting one of the first Y's, I will probably hold off for 6 months or so if my order is filled that early. Between the car sounding like the interior is rattling apart at times and nearly having to put it on a flat bed 250 miles into a 1000 mile road trip, my enthusiasm...

Car still feels slow from a launch so hopefully they can do something about that.

I would suggest getting a set of 20" rims in a square setup. A nice set with tires can be found for around $3k if you look for a sale. May seem like a lot, but two sets of OEM tires will run you that much.

Had the 24.6.4 update for a few days and this came yesterday. Today, either the LTE is having issues or the network is having a hard time with the streaming apps. Only a track will play then nothing loads and switching between the services does nothing. I forced a reboot using the steering...

Ive has 24.6 for a few weeks which seemed fine. With this minor update, now the LTE connection is flaky as anything. Lost connection a number of times today.

I enjoy that aspect of owning a Tesla. I'm very big car guy and I see the huge potential in electric cars.

If there was only some form of documentation that cars came with. Almost like a manual or something :) Friendly jest as I've posted this at least 20 times now since the Y launched. About to put it in my signature.

I will say, after driving mine and seeing how it behaves when braking, I owe a lot of Tesla owners an apology for getting agitated with them riding the brakes in traffic.

What does it say underneath when you take it off? Should say M3 / MY, console wireless phone dock bar like below.

Appliance.

433 and 3/19.

This happened to me a month ago on a road trip. The service center found that the temp sensors in the octovalve where hooked up in the wrong order. Car was cooling fine, but it thought that the outlet temperature was higher than the inlet.

Mine had something similar, but turned out that the temp sensors on the octovalve was not hooked up in the right order. The system thought it was overheating.

Not yet and I may just cancel my order out right.

I agree it's not as quick off the line as I would expect but it also is rather slow on the top end only being able to do 114mph.

So they regressed? That's not a good sign. So it more like being able to successfully send astronauts into space more than once. Got it.

Mine is now getting stuck all the time. Their ability to attach a hatch to a car seems to be up there with putting astronauts in space.

Well, I'm sure if you pulled up in a Lamborghini, Ferrari or Civic Type R in the right crowd would elicit the same response as well so your sample size of one doesn't do it for me. Kids would also pick macaroni and cheese and Fortnite over a fine dinner and a show on Broadway so if you are...

Yes, raising the charging pad up and sliding the trim piece to the left will remove it. Here's the section of the manual that explains it with an illustration. The first link is a replacement piece of the trim section. It gives a little more room for thicker cases, but not enough without...

There is a lot that I like about the Mach-E, but I have a hard time getting past the name and styling. The car would be a lot more appealing if it had it's own identity instead of some reliance on the Mustang to make it relevant. Maybe they will launch a Lincoln version which more upscale...

This is the one I purchased. Still requires forcing the phone case all the way under, but it has a little more room over factory. Case Friendly Phone Dock for Model 3 and Model Y (white or black) I also ordered this, but waiting for it to come in: Jeda Products | Tesla Model 3 and Model Y...

That's not accurate at all. A typical TLC drive will have a TBW in the 100's with something like a Samsung 850 500GB being rated at 150TBW. The flash drive that you linked in not anywhere close to that in write cycles. And when write cycles are completely exhausted, they don't "brick" but...

Just saw this update from Jeda.

That thing looks like a beast. May have to add that to my list of unnecessary purchases :)

It ranges from 50F to 1050F and has a distance to spot ratio of 12:1 (12” distance measures 1” area). Not sure how accurate it is at the top end as I’ve used it mostly for hvac and electronics.

I would call bs on that as that violates the laws of thermodynamics. Also, this is what the air temp is for mine with it being 90F outside and the AC set to 72F. It took roughly 3 minutes for it start blowing air this cold.

That's correct. My plan is to get the 20" Falcon's from TSportline which appear to be much lighter. I looked at the 19" set, but the tire options are way too limited for my liking.

It's the PUP so it has the Uberturbines for now. I'm going to swap them out eventually for something lighter. We are not working for home for the foreseeable future which means that the current tires will last a long time.

I lined up against a couple mustangs and a newer Nissan Z car. It was random slow stuff. According to Dragy, the car did it in 3.7 or 3.5 with a 1 foot roll out. Pretty much as advertised.

Took the car out to Atlanta Dragway this after. Had roughly a 85% charge at the start of the evening. Weather was overcast with temps starting around 90 dropping to mid 70s. DA was 2868 according to the Dragy. All of the runs were in a few hundredths of each other so the car is consistent...
