Just got an estimate via the app for mounting/balancing 4 tires and an alignment. Is Tesla really serious about these prices? Anyone else in the Northern Virginia area have recommendations of other installers and alignment shops who work on Teslas? The biggest issue I have is the $275 for the...

There are more Teslas at this one dealer than the entire mid-Atlantic Tesla locations combined. And at absurd prices. Also gotta love the $125K to $150K Lightnings and $250K Hummer EV. So many MYLRs with less than 75 miles on them at more than $75K each. Unreal. The market is so broken.

Tesla will add CCS connectors to Supercharger stations in the US, says Elon Musk Most of the superchargers I use on the East coast are already well-used by Tesla owners, and having non-Tesla use at these chargers and inevitable wait times will completely change my approach to road trips, which...

Link to article here. As long as demand doesn't wane, price hikes aren't going to end any time soon. IMO, the MY was overpriced a few thousands dollars ago. Still love mine, but pray I don't get in an accident and it gets totalled.

Got the following warning this morning. Anyone else ever see this? Is "temporary" OK?

My June 2020 build was ceramic coated around 1K miles, but after 21 months and 22K miles, and without using automated car washes, my window trim has discolored and stained like other owners have posted in this forum. A couple of days ago, I randomly tried using alcohol cleaning wipes from ULINE...

New EPA rating for a mystery MY model here. LFP doesn't seem like the range would work out, but maybe simply a smaller battery. My guess is that a lower-cost/shorter-range MY means the LR will jump even more. Just killing me with the price hikes. I have zero interest in sub-300 mile range MY...

While on a trip yesterday, I received a warning that the lane departure warning was unavailable, and would return on the next drive. Well, I've let the car go into a deep sleep overnight, performed a reboot twice, and no change - the lane departure warning, parking sensors, and parking sensor...

For a change of pace, an actual headline that isn't about an EV catching fire - BMW recalling over 900K vehicles due to fire risk.

If the investigation in this tragic Tesla accident proves out to be caused by phantom braking, this is going to be a huge problem for Tesla and possibly the entire auto industry. NHTSA is very engaged now, and this could be the last straw that causes real policy to be put in place to regulate...

Major NAND loss at Western Digital. Not sure if the MY uses NAND from Western Digital, but I have to believe some vehicle manufacturers have yet another reason to increase prices, and slow/stop production.

Got a quote for installing a pedestal with two 50A outlets between my two parking spots for my condo, including a new electrical meter installation with 100A service. Including trenching to the parking spots from the transformer (~75 feet) and re-paving over the trench, parts and labor ~$11.5K...

Over 11K miles on my MY, and before this update, used AP extensively, with conservatively 3K miles were driven using AP on many 155-175 mile trips (one-way) . Now, I'm getting all kinds of phantom and scary-hard braking, crazy jerking of the wheel, bouncing between the lane markers, and almost...

On version 2021.4.18.2, and all of these options are now gone. Reboot with the scroll wheels didn't help. Anyone else having this issue? Everything else seems to work and is stable

Looking for a recommendation for shops that have inspected Teslas before I randomly choose somewhere. I have a set of jack pucks with me in case the shop needs to use them. I'd rather find somewhere local vs. driving to Tyco Rd. SC for a state inspection. Thx

Driver monitoring is now enabled in M3/MY as of this release - 2021.4.18.1 Official Tesla Release Notes - Tesla Software Updates

I thought it was a fluke, but consistently, when I park with the rear of my MY on a slight incline in my driveway (so it can more easily access my charger), after a rainstorm, when I go to pull out of my driveway, for at least the first 30-40 feet, a significant amount of water pours out from...

I'm on 2021.4.12, and have rebooted more than once, turned on and off cabin overheat protection, and the interior keeps climbing to over 120 degrees F, and it is only 70 degrees outside. Cabin overheat protection used to work last summer keeping the interior around 100 degress or less, even...

Tesla v11 software leaks in look inside refreshed Model S test vehicle - Electrek Looks pretty good to me, and IMO takes cues from several popular operating system UIs. Still, rather than a major UI overhaul, it would be really valuable to me to have 360 degree birds-eye camera, ability to...

Model Y Paint Protection Film When I installed Xpel rocker PPF on my rear doors ~5 months ago, I covered a similar area, and have experienced zero chips from debris thrown from the front wheels. This is a sound investment at a good price (Xpel rocker PPF only comes in a $100+ roll, and doesn't...

Paid them back in mid-Nov for the standard-height dual-rate springs. Talked to them on the phone, and got an email that they were in stock. Nothing since then. Sent emails. Left voicemails. Nothing in return, and I have not received anything. It now says "backordered" on their site, but...

Maybe only for 2021 MY...article here.

Anything interesting here? Or is this just a maps update to keep up with road changes?

I'm always looking at this site, not to purchase, but to see how a specific vehicle I own holds up in a variety of crash scenarios. A decent number of MYs are showing up totaled already. Happy viewing.

Has anyone been contacted by Tesla yet? Article just posted here. I take a look at mine twice a week, as I'm approaching 4,000 miles, but no issues yet. I'm more worried about a slow loosening, especially with new tires, as they will be worn-in oddly, and fighting with Tesla to get them to...

I have been keeping a lookout on the Tesla Parts Catalog website for any changes to the 2021 model year parts, particularly to the suspension (springs and dampers). I noticed the part suffixes are "-A", "-B" and "-C". Does anyone know if B and C mean these are superseded part numbers and A was...

Trying to compile and confirm at least the major changes that have been mentioned into a single list to date. I've heard the following changes have occurred, but I can only verify the heat pump because my VIN was late enough: - Heat pump noise insulation/cover (verified) - Updated taillights...

Just saw this article, and I've been almost waiting daily for this to happen to my car - Watch This Tesla Model Y Window Shatter On Its Own While Parked In Garage The reason why I expect mine to fail is because even after resetting every door window, I notice an extraordinary amount of pressure...

Thoughts on whether the center console can be retrofitted to an MY? I don't see any changes in the updated Tesla M3 site, but supposedly the steering wheel has changed? Electek states it is heated, but I find no evidence of that on Tesla's site. M3 still has auto-dimming side...

I saw this MY part-out on eBay - Tesla Model Y Doors Suspension Interior Drive Unit Motor Wheels Rims Partout | eBay Hard to 100% tell, but if you look at the position of the driver's seat back, it looks like it collapsed like a previous posting where a passenger-seat collapsed when an MY was...

I know this article is one of many on this subject, along with bumpers falling off M3s while driving through puddles, but now that folks have started to accumulate mileage on MYs across more driving scenarios, I was wondering if there was a different design to the MY rear bumper that prevented...

Super annoying on long trips so far. I have to keep swiping the alerts away, but this can't be a "feature", right? I fold down the rear seats so I can put down a blanket and put my dogs in the car, and every few seconds while I drive I get warnings that someone is in the back seat and doesn't...

I leave Sentry Mode on at night, and when I get into my car in the morning, I see the following: But when I "Tap to view", there is only 1 or 2 videos saved and available in the viewer. Where are the rest of the "40 events"? My thumb drive seems to be working OK. I can manually record dash...

Started a 172 mile trip at 99% charge. Stayed around 65-68MPH most of the trip. 80% highway, 20% residential roads, 5% of them with small hills. A/C at 72 degrees, 90-93 degrees outside. Arrived at my destination with 42% charge remaining, ~135 miles. Estimate around 300 miles total range...

I know there has been a lot of debate over LiDAR vs. cameras with object detection, but I didn't realize that Autopilot leverages radar. I find this very odd, since radar 'sees' many types of materials and objects as invisible, or worse, much larger than they are in real live - not very useful...

Headed into a SC appointment on Thursday, and they've already pre-ordered me a new roof glass and a new windshield as they attempt to fix the gap/indentation where the roof glass and windshield meet. They are not sure yet if replacing only one of the 2 items will address the issue. Has anyone...

Has anyone used this location? If so, what has been your experience?

Tesla Model Y Rear Crash Shows Concerning Front Seat Damage I would hope that Tesla is going to investigate and if there is a seat frame design issue, it is resolved asap through a TSB at a minimum. I would also have to think that the NHTSA will also be investigating since this is posted for...

I noticed that my door seals, door glass seals, really have started to creak/squeak along with that strange 'paper rubbing together' sound from the rear seat when going over bumps. I could really hear the glass on all the doors make all sorts of sounds against the rubber seals when pulling...

I've been experimenting (and failing) trying to retrofit M3 and universal mud flaps behind my front wheels to protect the rear doors on my MY. My next move is custom-cut flaps that looks similar to RallyArmor. I've already noticed small chips in the rear lower corners of both of my back doors...

Was wiping out my door jambs and noticed when looking from the front door towards the rear on the B pillar (see pictures), the outer door seal that is attached to the doors was not resting against the body at all on my rear doors. The seal was attached without any issue on the doors, but it was...

Is this possible, or only if you are using a 3rd-party app over WiFi? BMW Connected Drive now has a really nice feature called "Remote 3D View" from their phone app (bmw remote 3d view - Bing video) IMO, this feature blows away anything offered by any other car manufacturer, and it is a...

Found front mud flaps that will fit without trimming on the MY. Very inexpensive on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T545SDS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are flexible enough that if you firmly press them into place, they contour to the body nicely without...

I found this interesting tidbit in the area of the body under the sides of the rear hatch, both sides, where the rear quarter panels overlap and are spot-welded to the body. I can fit more than my fingernail under this area. It should have been seam-sealed, and it seems to be at the bottom and...

That was quick...just received an update less than a week ago.

So should we be worried about what some M3 owners are experiencing while going through puddles? Watch This Tesla Model 3 Rear Bumper Fly Off After Driving Through Puddle

When looking at TeslaScope - Update History | Teslascope I see that MYs are getting both 2020.20.17 and 2020.24.6.4 updates daily, but I see that some MYs have 2.5 vs. 3.0 hardware. How is this possible? I though all MYs received v3.0 hardware? How can I tell what mine came with, and can it...

My MY is getting PPF and ceramic this week, and I've noticed that the frunk is open through the Tesla app, and I am pretty sure they are closed for the day now, so I'm curious if the frunk light is going to stay on all night, or if it auto-shuts off. I don't see an option in the manual where...

Super disappointed, but unfortunately this is the first time I'm seeing this issue, and I've been all over this car for a week. I have many pics where this issue in varying types of lighting/angles didn't show up, but now all I can do is look at it. It is evident to me that this is a missed...

So I was driving around and trying to nail down where I was hearing several rattles coming from the rear interior of the car. Definitely from the seat, even though I have the "fixed" version that is aligned, and more rattles from the hatch. Here's what I did to get rid of ALL rattles. I never...
