I recently moved the Homelink module from my 2020 Y and installed it in my new 2023 Y. There are plenty of videos that go over the process and they explained all the steps but there were 2 things that were not mentioned that would have saved me time. 1. When I removed the Homelink I had a hard...

When you removed the module from your 3 did you first go into service mode and uninstall homelink? I can’t find any DIY instructions on removing Homelink.

Does anyone know what happens when you remove the Homelink module? Will the Homelink screen still appear on the Tesla screen? Do I need to go into service mode to disable the Homelink module prior to removing it? I plan to remove mine prior to selling the car.

I believe the Homelink ICON will only work if the car is in range of your garage. If you are away with the car, it will not open the door.

I also got the vcfront_a552 error after update to 2022.4.5.21 I was hoping it could be done by the mobile unit but that is not an option. The controller is directly behind the 12v battery so the repair time shouldn’t be more than an hour or two. I am curious to know the repair time others...

I found this which shows 1.5 hrs for the repair.

I got the same message and scheduled service. The message did not go away. Does anyone know how long the service takes. It would be nice if they communicated that.

All that is true but my fear was getting to a supercharger with 10% and there was a problem with the charger. No options left to go to the next one. I am feeing more confident now that I visited all those chargers and there were no problems. We made the best use of the stops by making sure...

I just completed my first long distance road trip with my Model Y. We traveled 1,200 miles from PA to FL. The car performed perfectly and I was glad to have Autopilot for the long drive down RT95. It does take some of the stress out of a long drive. Being new to an EV I had range anxiety so...

The images are continually improving which is great but I wish it could see further. Vehicles coming from behind are not detected until they are within 10 feet. It would be good to see this distance increased.

My guess is parts shortage during COVID. You can't hold up the line for a simple plastic part!

According to the manual the car uses Bluetooth to detect the phone for locking and unlocking. If the phone is left in the car it should allow the car to unlock when the handle is opened. My assumption is the car locks when the bluetooth signal is far enough away from the car.

Thanks for the info, very helpful. The charging data you show is exactly what I am looking for.

I wish there was an easier way to get charging information so I could track my home electric usage. Ideally this should be available through the Tesla App. I definitely would not give my credentials to a third-party source. Does anyone know if information like length of charge, volts/amps used...

I used a standard garage laser that I had and mounted it on the bottom of the opener. I was able to focus the laser beam out to the driveway so when I drive up to the garage I can steer into the garage with the beam hitting a spot on the car that indicates the car is centered in the doorway...

That is my plan B, but I will upgrade the tennis ball method and build a DIY laser that will activate when the door opens and send a beam down the driveway that I can center the car on. Maybe by the time I get this implemented Tesla will have a software upgrade that does a garage park assist...

I activated it but stayed in the car. I opened and closed the door to simulate leaving but it knew I was still in the seat and would not go. I understand the idea of using it to park in a tight garage but with all that technology they should add a garage park assist so I can remain in the...

I would really like if my model Y would center the car and drive into the garage. Nice that my mirrors fold and homelink opens the garage door but then I have to work at centering the car and driving in. I read the manual and watched videos of summon parking in the garage. I don't feel...

I have not had an issue starting the car with the phone but have had a few instances where the car would not unlock and I had to wake up the App before it would work. I sometimes have my iPhone in low power mode and I believe that is what is causing it.

When I open the manual and try to search I can see the search box open and then close. The keyboard stays open but I can’t enter a search string. Anyone else experience the same thing.

I had similar experience with this setting and some others that kept changing back. I made sure I selected my profile before making changes and then they were saved and held.

I agree there is no value added with the in home $500. unit unless speed of charge is important. I have been using the mobile charger that came with the car and bought the 14-50 adapter plug. I down graded the charging amps to 25 which is more than fast enough to recharge for my use. The cord...

This is happening more often due to increase in trucks and less experienced truck drivers. They really need to equip trucks with side radar so there is no blind spot. I also avoid driving next to trucks.

I think all the changes my be linked to driver profile. I made sure my name showed up in driver profile and then made the changes. So far they are holding.

The Tesla App gives me a notification when charging starts and ends. Is there a way to see all the charging data? I would like to track how many hours per week I am charging.

I have my Y for 2 weeks now and have been adjusting the various settings. My changes keep reverenting back to previous settings. I have been turning on the exclude home for lock on walk away and see the saving message at the top but after awhile it keeps reverting back to off. Some other...

I currently have a NEMA 14-50 outlet and use the mobile charger. I would like to purchase a home unit but prefer a plug in. I could remove the outlet and hard wire the Tesla Gen3 charger in place but was thinking of using a range cord with #6 wire so I could plug it in. That way if the unit...

I am having Homelink installed this Friday. I like that I can auto fold my mirrors as I arrive home and now will be able to have the garage door open. I wish it would also auto park in the garage.

Today was my delivery day and all went well. I checked over the car and could not find any issues interior or exterior. My pickup location was Devon, PA. They were very busy delivering cars but gave me plenty of time to setup the car. I was not able to link to the Tesla APP on my phone. The...

I got a txt today that said to get ready for touchless delivery and a link to 9 videos about the Y. One covered the phone key. I loaded the Tesla App on my phone but can’t get past the welcome screen. Has anyone used this app? Does it need to be linked to the car before you can use it?

On 6/5/20 I got this txt : "Your Model Y is on its way to the Devon Delivery Center and ready to be scheduled for delivery! Select your appointment" I scheduled my appointment for 6/12/20. I got the MVPA with VIN and had to upload proof of insurance and pay balance due., no trade involved. On...

I am wondering if they are producing more cars than they have carriers to deliver them. End of June is the end of the quarter so they are pushing to book sales.

I was scheduled to take delivery Friday 6/12/20 but received a txt this morning that my Y is delayed in shipping and won't arrive until 6/18/20 so delivery will be 6/19/20. First thought is that if it will take another week why wouldn't they know that before this morning. I am curious if...

I also asked my advisor who said they have no way to add a referral to an existing order. He also checked with his supervisor who said it only applied to new orders.

I have delivery scheduled for this Friday In Pa and payment is required before delivery. Also insurance requirements vary by state. I have to show proof of insurance with Model Y vin on the policy.

I have checked the specs and can’t find any reference to horsepower for the model Y. I have found other websites with varying numbers from 400 to 600. Does any one know what the hp rating for the AWD version is?

I was going to do a trade. Their offer was low so I decided not to do a trade. My advisor said it would speed up things if a trade is not involved. They have updated their website and changed the estimated time for delivery to 4-8 weeks for new orders.

When you find the 5YJ in source, does it say VIN in front of it? I can find a 5YJ number but it is preceded by Callback and the code for year is G. It should be L.

I am having a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed in preparation for eventual delivery of my Y. I plan to use the mobile charger that comes with the car. Do they supply a 14-50 adapter plug with the mobile charger?

I decided to go with FSD. It will be my first Tesla and I want all the new tech I can get. I also heard it may eventually be sold as subscription only.

What letter code do you have for year? It is digit 10 before F. My VIN in source is GFOO6XXX. The year code doesn’t make sense as 2020 should be L.

I heard that the east coast is getting priority. Maybe to better utilize the charging network in the east and balance out the large presence in the west.

The advanced technology on the Model Y is the reason I ordered one. I never thought that HomeLink would not be built in, it is nearly standard on ICE cars. Now I find out it is not built in and not offered at time of ordering. I would understand this better if Tesla considered it obsolete...

I am in PA and the Tesla doc states I need a copy of insurance policy with VIN number on it. That can't be done last minute. A friend of mine bought a Model 3 last year and the VIN changed 2 times until they finally delivered the car. Each time he had to go back to the bank as the loan...
