I've found a bunch of threads about all-season tires on the uberturbine 21" wheels, but nothing is conclusive. It doesn't seem like there are any official replacements yet, and people are just getting sizes that are "close" I have a set of winter/snow tires on a set of rims, but I want...

Normally I just jack the car up and swap out wheels myself (not changing tires off of rims, just changing the entire rim+wheel) for the winter/summer. I am getting my alignment checked after a few weeks driving on the MPP Comfort Coilovers at the local shop, and I asked them if I brought my...

I did the same 500+ mile (one way) trip a couple of times this year so far, and my biggest issue was how long it took to charge. I never got 250kw, and was always crawling at less than 80 at the super chargers. It was easily taking an hour or more to charge. After asking around here, the culprit...

I’m getting such slow charging at super chargers, despite going to 250kW max. I’m getting at most 80kW. The battery preconditions, there’s nobody else charging here. What am I missing?

I've never made the trip, but I'm going to be driving from Eugene, OR to Bend, OR on Thursday, and there might be quite a snowstorm. Can I make it off of one 100% charge, especially with a roof box? Are there any stops in between just in case? I don't see any superchargers...

If I waited until today to order my next car, I might have just picked the Model X. Not entirely sure if I can/am able to afford it smartly, but I'm now wondering if I should just trade in my Model Y and get the refresh X. Some pros: The plaid version is pretty badass It's larger, and...

I'm new to the world of the Model X, but I have a Model Y performance. I'm considering switching my MY to the MX refresh. I have a small garage. My MY hatch, for example, has to be adjusted really low so that it doesn't hit the garage door in the garage door's "open" state. The garage also...

Here's a quick recap of my drive from Berkeley, CA to Bend, OR, and back. Car: Model Y performance Cargo: Tesla roof rack + Thule Motion XL Wheels: TSportline 20" forged TY115 (25.6lbs) + Michelin X-Ice SNOW Temp: Ranging from 60 degrees F to 20 degrees F Extra weight: Two people (about 280lbs...

I'm a Model Y owner, considering switching to the refreshed Model X. Currently, I'm unable to fit a crate in the cargo area for my dog that's large enough for her, yet she just fits otherwise. We have a VarioBarrier HR (small) that keeps her from flying through the car if there was ever a...

This started happening recently, maybe from the last update: 1. I'll start playing Spotify on like my Podcasts playlist 2. I'll goto TuneIn to listen to some breaking news on CNN or whatever 3. I'll go back to Spotify and try to listen to some calming music so I'll select a nice playlist of...

I've been on this crazy saga where my dashcam memory stick just doesn't work. I got a PureTesla adapter + microsd card setup, and the microSD card totally failed. I purchased the only one available at the nearby store which is a 256GB SD card, which has been working for a couple of weeks, but...

I bought a PureTesla Dashcam USB adapter and microSD card setup. The microSD ultimately stopped working (can't get it to even show up on my computer, even with multiple adapters). Now with a new SD card I had to buy, because they never got back to me, the actual USB-A to microSD adapter thing...

I've used A Better Route Planner for a similar trip, but it was in the fall with no roof rack/box. Now I have a roof rack, a box, winter wheels (though the rims are 10 lbs lighter now) and it will be colder. I was trying to plan a new route, but how can I adjust based on these new things? I'm...

I just put on my winter wheels last week. I have a MYP. Steering I set the steering to comfort mode, it just felt a little bit better, but steering still felt a little off to me. Once I switched to the 20" wheels, it was a lot looser, almost too loose. I have no scientific proof, so maybe it's...

I received the rear trunk cargo organizer from Tesmanian, and it's awesome Tesla Model Y Rear Trunk Storage Organizer Boxes I use the under floor cargo to stuff things I need all the time, including: 1. First aid kit 2. Tire kit 3. Dog toys, treats, extra collars/leashes, flea/tick spray...

I thought I had everything ready, but with a month before I needed to get my winter wheels on, I decided to give it a go early. I’ve never had a Tesla so who knows what weird things might happen? First problem, I lost my 3/4” to 1/2” adapter so my torque wrench couldn’t connect to the socket...

I have a PureTesla USB drive for Dashcam/Sentry. But it's painfully slow to watch any of the footage in the car. It takes upwards of 2 to 5 minutes just to load the window, and then even longer to load the video. Does getting an SSD rather than using the USB thumb drive solve this problem?

I wanted to start a new thread specifically for these coilovers: MPP Model Y Comfort Adjustable Coilovers | Mountain Pass Performance I've seen discussions about them buried in other threads about more comfortable rides, but wanted a thread dedicated to them. I ordered mine about a month ago...

When I was a kid, we had these lug nuts that had a special design that required a special "key" socket to remove. Of course, if you had that key it would work with every car that had the same "lock" Are wheel locks even worth it? Are there ones that are better than others?

Anyone else get this? I get into the car, put on my steabelt, press the brake pedal, and try to shift into "drive" mode. Every time, without fail, I get beeped at and need to do it at least one more time. I have to wait like a full 5 seconds for it to not shout at me, and even then, sometimes...

I've never purchased a roof cargo box, but I'm hoping to goto a store, have them test fit, and then purchase only after I know it's going to work. I looked up Thule/Yakima boxes on their websites, and whenever I try to set the car to a Model Y in their fit tools, it gives me zero options to...

Can I take my car into Tesla SC to do body work? Yesterday someone let the dog of leash in the parking lot and it jumped and clawed my Model Y like a mofo. Long story short, the owner shrugged it off (which was expected, especially since he let his dog run around a busy road/parking lot in the...

Who has a Thule Cargo box on their Model Y? I was trying to get away with stuffing everything in the car, but with a dog an an extra passenger, it can't be done. I can't find any site that will say what cargo box will fit a Model Y. It always says it's incompatible. Everything I've found so...

How much charge should I have in my car when leaving my car in dog mode in the winter? It could be in the sun, but temps anywhere from 0 - 30 degrees farenheight. I'll be going to Mt Bachelor for 2 hours every morning, first taking my pup out to their dog park early before first chair to play...

I ordered the Mountain Pass Performance Comfort Coilovers, and want to find a good shop that knows Teslas to do the install. I know it's pretty standard, but I don't want to roll up to a shop and them not know the jack points/pucks etc. East bay preferred that's not Griffin please.

I never understood how the auto high-beams feature worked. But suddenly, on my usual drive home, my high beams kept coming on and turning off when there were cars. The only thing I can think of is a couple of recent software updates. Does the car default to trying to high beam whenever it can...

Earlier this year, I was asking about the California carpool/hov stickers, and a lot of people suggested applying in November so that it would arrive in January 2021 and maximize the period that it would be effective for. Is this still the case? Should I get ready to apply for it Nov 1?

I need a new floor jack. I already have the Model Y/Tesla specific "pucks", but need a floor jack that works with it. I will really only be using this to change my summer wheels to winter wheels (and vice versa) at my home garage (and not carry it with me in the car). The car will also not be...

Hi All, I noticed the other day, going down a very steep hill for about a mile, I got a message on the screen saying my regen was limited. It was a balmy 77 degrees out, and I was only at 70% charge. Any ideas why this might happen? I was hoping to gain back some charge after going up this...

I'm having a hard time using the percentage left. I'm constantly trying to do the calculation in my head of miles. I know everyone talks about using percentage and how it's better, but it's just such an arbitrary number to me still, even at about 3,000 miles driven on the car. I know the mile...

Generally if you have two options for a wheel for offset, does this simply change the concavity or will it actually push the lip of the wheel further out? I am looking at the Niche M117 MISANO (NICHE® - M117 MISANO Matte Black) and it has a +35 and a +38mm offset option. If I got a +35, will...

I'm going to be in Bend, OR for a month during the winter months, and will probably frequent Mt Bachelor. It says there are two Tesla Chargers somewhere, I can't figure out where from the website, but just wondering if anyone here has used them in past seasons before! I guess they're not...

I'm considering getting a new set of winter wheels (tires+rims). The problem is, I have some updated plans and will be driving pretty far in warm conditions only to end up in high elevation for a month. 9 hour drive in about 50-70 degree weather. Then I'll be in an area that's 5,000-8,000 feet...

I was on the fence about the Falcon Y wheels. They look cool, but didn't quite fit what I think looks good on the Model Y. But then the TS5 Flow Forged came out: Tesla Model Y Wheels-20" TS5 Flow Forged Tesla Wheel and Tire Package - T Sportline - Tesla Model S, 3, X & Y Accessories I'm...

The Ring Car Cam was announced: Ring announces new line of security cameras for cars It's weird it works with Teslas first, because Teslas already have video cameras and Sentry mode. The only new feature that I like is when you're pulled over, you can tell Alexa to start recording during that...

I want to get a winter wheel package, and in my bored moments, I started shopping around. The choices are pretty limited. I keep hearing that Tesla might come out with something. Is this true? Are they going to come out with some kind of wheel/tire package? If so, are they just the stock wheels...

Yesterday I had a weird thing happen. As soon as I got into the car, the windshield started fogging up. It looks like what happens when your air comes on and the temperatures are really mismatched for a second, needing A/C to kick into clear it. But it just kept getting worse, no matter what I...

Once it's a little safer to travel, I'd like to take the Model Y on longer road trips that would take us through unpredictable weather/temperatures. If we're going somewhere in the winter, we'll most likely have a set of wheels with dedicated winter tires, and we'd probably keep those drives...

I've only driven with Bridgestone Blizzak tires in the snow, and they were really nice. They're a bit louder than summer or a/s tires, but that's all I could nitpick about. I'm looking at TSportline's 20" offerings, and I'm thinking of getting the Falcon Y Limited with their tire package...

Later this month, I'm taking my first trip this year. I've been responsibly sheltering in place, even though a lot has been opening. I'm annoyed everyone is going out while I'm being dumb and just playing it safe. Well, I'm going to go play it safe where I can go on long hikes with my dog. I'm...

I was driving a usual route this weekend, and with the latest update, it started braking hard at every freeway exit. I couldn't figure out what was going on. I realized it was seeing exit speed signs (we were in the rightmost lane). I had my cruise speed set to 72 max, and it kept dropping down...

I'm looking into the PG&E rates for EV cars. Using their calculator, I should be able to save over $900/year, though I'm not sure if that's accurate. Either way, I'm unable to change my rate on their website. I think this might be because we're exceeding some tier in our current rate, which is...

I see them for sale on their site, and they have tried it on their own cars, but I have yet to find anyone on the forums who actually has them. I'd love to ask some questions and see how you like them!

When there’s nobody in the backseat the rear vents are closed for the AC. I have a dog that is in the cargo area, and everytime I get in the car, I hit the fan button, then have to tap the icon to get the rear vents on. Every. Time. Is there some way to set this auto vent closing option to off?

Here are the current solutions to a softer ride that I've been seeing: 1. Reduce PSI in tires to 38 2. Tesla Model Y Luxury Coilover Suspension Kit by Unplugged Performance 3. Mild version of: DUAL RATE LINEAR LOWERING SPRING SET FOR TESLA MODEL Y - Unplugged Performance 4. Redwood Motorsports...

I'm considering getting the unplugged performance luxury coilovers installed on my Model Y PUP. I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations on auto shops in the San Francisco Bay Area that knows Teslas (if that's really important, maybe not), and would do a good job? I've been in...

I don't love the harshness of the performance package suspension. It feels out of place. I don't want to sacrifice too much handling, but I'm starting to feel like I care a little more about the comfort than the handling, and want to move towards comfort. Anyone have suggestions on Good...

I got a quote that was reasonable, but maybe too reasonable. Can you guys help me ask the right questions to the electrician to see if he's legit? I have a detached garage, and my main electrical box doesn't have any spare breakers (brakers? i don't know), so he has to install a new one or make...

Tesla SSO - Sign In I've read the above about Connectivity. I am paying for the Premium. It mentions cellular, and then at the bottom it mentions local telecommunications company. But beyond that, what other details are there? Is it 4G? LTE? Verizon/AT&T/etc? I see an icon for signal strength...

I had the automatic garage opener installed, and it was so worth it. The only issue now is I can’t get the app to open the garage. When I tap Homelink, I get an error saying there are no devices nearby, even though it’s in the garage. this is only an issue in my iPhone app. Anyway to fix this?
