    Driver’s window loud pop when closing

    It is the window regulator and needs to be replaced. Mine did that on delivery and at times the window would get stuck (which would be a huge problem). If I lowered the window just an inch or two then it wouldn't do it, but if it went down half way or more then it would make a pop at the top...

    vibration noise from the back seat

    I have the same issue. It is the center back seat. For me I think it is the carpet backing panel. It flexes. I didn't have this issue initially however the back panels were falling off and misshapen so tesla replaced them and now it rattles like a school bus in the back. Only temporary...

    Software Version New Model Y

    Still on 2020.5.10.3 and the phantom braking is pretty bad (have model 3 to compare to). It also is more sloppy in staying in the lane often clipping the road markers or getting wayyy too close to trucks in the other lane. Very much looking forward to getting back on the latest update.

    White Seats Stain Very Easily

    From the research I have done, the two most common DIY ceramic coating kits that I have seen mentioned specifically in relation to Tesla white seats are: CarPro CQuartz Leather https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00REX3LFM/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=AF1OLLMGUD71U&th=1 and GYEON Quartz...

    Just be careful with these. The underside of the cover itself can stain the seats.

    White Seats Stain Very Easily

    I do think the scrubs have a big part of the blame. I have warn other colored dress pants and scrubs without issue. But the same wet scrubs did not stain my white coat even when I sat on the coat. The point of my post was not to imply that literally everything will stain the seats. It was...

    White Seats Stain Very Easily

    I know people say its crazy to get white leather in a car, but I really wanted them and people have been saying the Tesla seats are easy to clean if you put in some effort. So I have been extremely careful. I don't wear jeans almost ever. I wipe down the seat with a baby wipe almost daily...

    Vehicle Insurance Quotes

    I've heard it said that having Tesla insurance moves you up in the parts and repair process. I wonder how much truth there is to that and what kind of premium to ascribe that benefit.

    Software Version New Model Y

    Just a heads up guys the software version we have does seem to truly have an inferior version of autopilot. I have a model 3 with the most recent software to compare to and the model Y autopilot makes a lot of the same mistakes the old versions did. Today it thought the shadow of a truck in...

    Y Perf AWD Long range battery capacity???

    holy cow 4% in 8 hours is normal? That's 11 to 15 miles lost every 8 hours just sitting there and having virtually no sentry mode events. Not to mention the wear on the battery... I plugged into the 120v at work and it was getting up to 4 miles per hour based on the phone app. Sentry mode...

    Y Perf AWD Long range battery capacity???

    So I just lost 4% battery life overnight over 8 hours with the car just sitting in the driveway. Sentry mode reported just one "event". The temp was in the 50'sF. There's no way that's normal...

    Y Perf AWD Long range battery capacity???

    Interesting. I'll keep an eye it as well. I charge on a 12V at work too. The other thing I've noticed and I wonder if it's happening to you guys too: sentry mode goes crazy. I've had sentry mode put on a light show and will go off every 10 seconds and record an hour straight of video even...

    Model Y Performance vs. Model 3 AWD+

    Thanks should have mentioned that. SoC was 95% for those runs though at 89-90% it was still the same. This was with a friend's draggy. If I'm remembering correctly there was virtually no elevation change. We didn't have time or a safe area for 1/4 mile. I'll see if I can borrow it.

    Y Perf AWD Long range battery capacity???

    Exactly my point here: Model Y Performance Energy Consumption Is Pretty High and here: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/4611558/ People should expect 250miles in usual conditions, not 280. This was a little bit of a surprise for me.

    Trip Range and Consumption 2020 Model Y

    I think if you had the performance with PUP then you would be cutting it close. I think in non severe conditions, the performance with PUP will realistically get you 250 miles at full charge (not the advertised 280). Factor in that you shouldn't regularly charge to 100% then you are looking at...

    Model Y Performance Energy Consumption Is Pretty High

    Thank you. I had missed that thread and it probably makes this thread unnecessary, but as others mention in that thread; your numbers are a little hard to believe (nothing personal). It is not that I think you are making them up, but rather that consistently getting 250 to 280 wh/mi should not...

    With who? Do you have a performance Y or a LR AWD? I wonder if that makes a notable difference. My numbers were for a performance.

    Model Y Performance Energy Consumption Is Pretty High

    Will driving the same route more times give a different result? Tdriver suggested that slightly warmer may potentially have some effect, but expecting to consistently get under 300 wh/mi seems unlikely. Most of us have had our cars for only a week or less. That having been said, I don't...

    Model Y Performance Energy Consumption Is Pretty High

    I am averaging 320 wh/mile. This is almost exclusively freeway driving at 70mph. Relatively flat elevation changes. Temps have been 65F to 70F. I haven't really floored it much. I nearly always have it on autopilot. This is over 150 miles driven so far. This is on the 21 inch...

    That's so crazy cheap what the heck. In CA, model Y, clean record over 20yrs driving (I get the "perfect driver" discount). My Model Y is $930 per 6 months (yes more than triple). This is with Tesla insurance which was the cheapest. Geico was even more than that. I know it varies state by...

    New Firmware Update?

    What?? That's really silly. My sub 800 VIN came with 2020.5.10.1 and no one said anything. I just updated it myself to 2020.5.10.3 (more like it sat in the driveway and updated itself after I accepted).

    Other formats may not work with the model Y yet (just like they didn't with the 3 initially), we are on an older software version right now.

    Wireless charging doesn't work with multiple phone cases?

    I think the fact that it works with the case on other chargers means the Tesla wireless charger is weaker or the padding is too thick on the pad. I also wonder if it has to do with the age of the phone on top of that. I am using an S8+ which is getting on 3 years now. Maybe the wireless...

    Model Y rear camera worse than Model X?

    Note sure what you guys are used to but it seems about on par with the Model 3 I have seen. The field of view seems more narrow but the resolution is plenty. You could probably make out a penny if it were on the ground. Are you guys planning on vlogging with the backup camera?

    Two different usb drives not recognized..

    I had issues initially but was able to fix it. I am on version 2020.5.10.3 as well. I am using the Samsung endurance micro SD card and the tiny SanDisk USB reader recommended by others here. I formatted it to fat32 and just had the TeslaCam folder in there but the car wouldn't recognize it...

    Camera Fogging Up

    Hey guys, Just wondering if this was normal. The front camera (and only the front camera) has significant hazing/fogging of 1/4th or more of the field of view. This is in ~60F temperatures. It is visible on TeslaCam footage. It does seem to go away several hours later. Sample screen grab...

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    For anyone that will read this, I had a horrible experience with DCU. They jerked me around for weeks. They approved the loan, dinged my credit score, and then decided they aren't going to approve credit union membership thus forcing the rate to jump up significantly. On the other hand EECU...

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    The white interior is hard to do justice in photos without blowing out the rest of the photo. If the white becomes the focus point then the cell phone camera adjusts the dynamic range to it and everything else looks off. Here is a slightly different angle but the white interior just washes out...

    Gap Insurance on Tesla loan?

    Holy cow the level of outrage in this thread... Tesla does offer GAP insurance. I have it right now. Tesla doesn't do the loan, so why would they offer GAP insurance through a financing arm they don't have? But Tesla does do insurance now (in California and soon to be expanded). I have...

    Lack of transparency with Delivery ppl

    Yes you don't have to give them a single penny until the car is in-front of you and you have had a chance to inspect it and are ready to accept delivery. Checks do not need to be cashiers checks, don't have to be in your name, and can be from two separate banks. This is what I was told. Mine...

    Lack of transparency with Delivery ppl

    I believe you are allowed to use up to two checks to pay for the car. I would strongly advise against sending them money before you have inspected/accepted the car.

    Finance Rate Went Down

    Indeed. Every dollar matters right now. I had initially started to go through DCU for the loan but they did an absolutely horrible job. I had to go back and forth with them for weeks and wasted a ton of time. They couldn't care less. The EECU then Tesla combo was flabbergastingly easy.

    Lack of transparency with Delivery ppl

    Finance Rate Went Down

    Yes that's what I did (I'm from California). It took 45 seconds to fill out the online loan application (didn't touch anything membership related). Within one hour they sent me a secured link to access documents. From there it had the letter in there stating 2.2% for 72 months and the loan...

    Refused Delivery MY

    The problem with these contact-less deliveries is what do you do if the employee has already left? Now you have a car sitting in front of your place that you don't want to accept... About to have a touchless delivery on Friday and the communication has already been frustrating up until this point.
