    SoCal to Vegas on Memorial Day...am I crazy?

    sadly, that looks like it's what it will have to be, given the free supercharging window.

    Socal to Vegas on Memorial Day

    I posted this under "Road Trips" before realizing it might be better under "California" Nearly a last minute decision to head up to Vegas on Memorial Day. I know traffic coming back to Socal on this day is maddening, but since traffic in both directions will be using the same superchargers, it...

    SoCal to Vegas on Memorial Day...am I crazy?

    Nearly a last minute decision to head up to Vegas on Memorial Day. I know traffic coming back to Socal on this day is maddening, but since traffic in both directions will be using the same superchargers, it will probably still be challenging heading up. For those of you, who have driven the 15...

    Model Y Battery Calibration

    will try this too. I also tried the recommended solution by Service and I'm still capped at a displayed range of 258 miles at 100% for my MYP.

    Rear hatch weld issue

    I have the same crack on mine (June Build). The body shop said it was cracked paint and they just filled it with white caulk.

    Model Y Perf: Rotora Big Brakes

    Looks great! Stock brakes suck, when needing more than regen braking.

    2020.40.8 for Performance

    Full charge on my Performance PUP says 265 lol...and I drive pretty mildly.

    12 Volt Battery

    Never thought about the 12V battery. Does anyone know if sitting idle and watching netflix while waiting, drains the 12V like a regular car, or is it running off the main batteries? Probably silly, but what about a redundant second 12V battery? I added a second Optima Red Top battery to my FJ.

    Average Estimate Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector Install

    I got several quotes that ranged from 750-1200 (or so...forgot the exact high quote). I ended up getting the Tesla listed electrician to pricematch the lowest quote. My install required around 30 feet of conduit and wire to install the wall connector on the opposite wall from the breaker box, in...

    3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

    The white reflection from the dash bothers me too and window tint exacerbates it. I was thinking of getting the carbon fiber shell to go over the dash, but I just saw that Unplugged Performance has an Alcantara option. So, now I'm considering doing the full Alcantara upgrade through Unplugged.

    "Squishy" sound during low speed <15mph - Performance Y

    Quick update... I dropped off the Y at the SC last week and they determined the "squishy" sound is coming from the center cap. If you notice this sound, try popping off your center cap (Ubertine wheels), rotate them or apply light oil to the retention springs, and pop them back on.

    "Squishy" sound during low speed <15mph - Performance Y

    These wheels don't have tire covers, but my noise may be a somewhat similar issue...the center cap. Its been too hot around here to spend too much time trying to narrow it down, but my neighbor and I tried to see what would happen if we removed the center cap. Based on the very short distance I...

    Revised tail lights on MY

    Yes lol...Was wondering why it didn't show up the first time. Doh!

    "Squishy" sound during low speed <15mph - Performance Y

    I was able to record the sound today...it's definitely coming from the tire, wheel, suspension area. I'll try to post the vid later.

    Top Speed

    Cruising at 101 or that's as much as you could push it? LC500 should def be able to go much faster. I've gone over 100 in my lifted FJ, but it gets pretty hairy over 90 lol.

    "Squishy" sound during low speed <15mph - Performance Y

    Yeah, I saw the thread about the wheel cover noise. I have the 21" Ubertines, so no wheel covers. Service appt is set of 8/31...soonest I could get for the SC near me. I'm thinking it could be a busted belt in a tire, but I don't notice any vibrations while driving.

    "Squishy" sound during low speed <15mph - Performance Y

    Thank you for sharing, but the sound is definitely not that. My sound is intermittent, like at a specific point on the tire or wheel that triggers with each revolution. The tires look fine, so will see if the SC can look at the wheels.

    "Squishy" sound during low speed <15mph - Performance Y

    Happened to drive with my windows down today and noticed an intermittent "squishy" sound while driving at speeds 15mph or less. The sound seems to vary by the rate of speed, so possibly wheel or tire related. Any other Performance Y owners notice this? Will be setting up a service appt soon.

    White Model Y - Visible knicks - last day - return or no return.

    I had some paint issues on my white Y, along with cracked paint under the lift gate handle area, and very small dent on the rear passenger door. Dropped it off at Service last week and they are having Fix Auto fix the paint issues and repair the dent. So, I'm pretty sure your local service...

    White Interior & Tinting %???

    I've got 20% with my white interior...don't think I would go much lower. As it is now, I have a nasty reflection of the white dash that covers the driver's side mirror during the day...but that would probably happen with any tint.

    Account security when dropping off car for service?

    Amex was quick to shut it down, but it would be nice to pinpoint whoever and however they got it.

    MY’s shape kinda wierd

    I actually liked the look of the Y. It doesn't look as aggressive as some of the newer crossovers out now, but I like the subtleness.

    Account security when dropping off car for service?

    This might be a silly question. I recently dropped off my car for post delivery adjustments at the local Tesla Service Center. Yesterday, they informed me that a local body shop was going to pick up the car to repair a dent and repaint some areas. Today, I got a fraudulent charge attempt for an...

    Garage Auto Parking

    I always add a strip of colored duct tape to the garage floor to use as a gauge with the backup camera. I have a strip of tape for each vehicle.

    SoCal 240V Circuit Install Info

    Gen 3 Wall Connector finally installed! Installers came a few minutes before the appt time...I should point out they also arrived on time for the initial quote too. This installer was originally the highest quote of the bunch, and also happens to be the first one listed on Tesla's "Find an...

    Model Y tint pictures

    I did XPEL XR+...70% on the windshield, 20% front door windows and sunroof, 30% everywhere else. The 30% rear does make the back door windows a bit darker than the front doors, so 50% on the rear doors probably would have matched better. In the socal sun, with all the tint, the car still gets...

    SoCal 240V Circuit Install Info

    I'm finally getting around to setting up appts for quotes to install my Wall Charger. So far, one of the Tesla certified electricians in my area, that is listed on Tesla's website, is able to do remote quotes. This is a snippet from an email I got from A-EV Installs... "To install a new 240...

    Nice! What was your charging routine for the Vegas trip? Was it hard getting a charging spot in the casino parking garages?

    a couple of the fasteners are missing, and there is an unoccupied hole in the wheel well panel...all under the front passenger wheel well.

    Model Y PUP compared to Merc GLE43 AMG Coupe

    If he does go with an MB, I highly suggest leasing, or at the least buying the extended warranty if he plans to keep it beyond the factory warranty. If he buys, then I say buy CPO and get the extended CPO warranty. I had a GL450 before the Y and in the 5 years I owned it, I had around 50k in...

    What's Normal Front Motor Sound for Model Y?

    I'm pretty sure it is similar to your video...hard to tell from the audio through the phone though. To me, it's almost like a golf cart lol. I just assumed it was the magnetic motor whirling. My VIN is 18xxx

    Not even a storage facility...literally a mobile makeshift delivery location in a parking structure. It was actually pretty efficient...I liked it. It was off of Gillette Ave.

    That sucks. I'm trying to find every little issue and make note of them. So far, the list of concerning issues is short. I mostly want the overlapping front panels and the cracked paint in the tailgate door fixed.

    Picked up White/White Model Y PUP today (6/26). 18xxx

    was originally supposed to be Costa Mesa, but then it was chenged to Irvine the day before delivery. I think they are down the street from eachother. The Irvine pick-up was in what appeared to be an office parking garage. 6th level was full of Teslas, awaiting delivery.

    I'll need a good overcast day to see how bad the paint mismatch might be on my Y. So far, it's pretty subtle to me.

    Fit & Finish Issues Plaguing Model Y

    My complaint would be the cup holders are too high lol. I'm used to setting my cups a couple inches lower. It's throwing off my muscle memory when blindly setting a cup down or picking one up lol.

    Oh...probably the most expensive issue isn't even cosmetic. I'm supposed to have FSD, but it's showing up in the app as an upgrade and wants me to spend another $7k lol. I talked to someone on Tesla's website and she said to contact them on Monday, since support is off on the weekend.

One is a vehicle you can buy and drive right now, while the other is not. One you can get hard facts about, good or bad, while the other you...
