So, there are garages for service in the building, as well as several cars waiting for prep. There is no supercharger, just the regular slow 48A chargers in the back parking area. I suppose I have the first customer Tesla parked at the service center. As it was a small casino. it has a large...

I am in Los Alamos, so I will go down and check, but that old mini casino has been under construction for the last few months. I have been pushing Tesla hard to get a service center in in Santa Fe, as the sheer number of Tesla's in Los Alamos and Santa Fe is huge. We have 4 on my street, and...

As the person who first encountered this problem in my 2020 MYP which was built on day 1, I can tell you that if one fails then the other will fail. The reason is that the MY uses a heat pump, and the action of heating and cooling is the same, simply the reversing of a valve. I had some days...

Last weekend I drove to Albuquerque and back with one mtb on the hitch rack. 208mi round trip with half on back highway and half on interstate. I charged to 305 miles before leaving and finished with 21mi left on the charge. The temp was not that cold, as it was 65f in Abq and about 52f in Los...

I had the same thing happen, and it turns out the cooling system in my Model Y was failing.

This is only one of the issues I have with a Model Y built on day 2 way back in March. The AC and the heat would fail at any time when trying to use them. All manner of reboots with service were tried, and they had to pick my car up on a truck and take it back to Denver for service. They...

No I do not, and none of my 1up racks have come with a pin either. The friction ball is enough to hold it in place without it moving. If you fail to tighten the bolt with the supplied allen wrench, I could see disaster happening. I have driven from NM to the CA coast and back with 4 bikes on the...

When I insert either of my 1up racks, I simply place it about the thickness of my hand from the bumper and tighten it down. I use a velcro strap as an insurance in case the rack loosens up, but I have never had this happen to me on any of my 1up racks.

Update: the mobile tech was here yesterday and we looked at it again. He is ordering a new gas strut to see if it is stronger and better resists the lifting force of the motor strut. We will see if this works.

i1tesla has already confirmed that all of the MY's wheels fit all of the MY's brakes, but the question is what is the actual range difference between the different wheels on the road. The long range gets 320mi and the PUP gets 285mi with the 21's, but there doesn't seem to be a consensus on the...

MY PUP with 21" Uberturbines and I am getting 270Wh/mi average in the mountains, and 258Wh/mi on the highway at 75-80. I have over 1200 mi on it now, and have not actually taken it on the interstate, but I have driven a lot of back highways. Bear in mind NM is a high altitude state, but the...

I have had my PUP with 21's for 2 months now, and I am in the mountains of northern NM. To say our roads are bad would be a serious understatement, I equate them to dirt roads with black paint. Having said that, I have already driven 9 miles of dirt road with the MY, and it did fantastic. The...

No, it isn't normal. The mobile service tech and I spent an hour in my garage with him loosening the driver side bolts and me pushing on the trunk lid. The issue is that the motorized leg is only on the drivers side of the trunk, and there is a passive gas strut on the passenger side. If you...

Read what I wrote and pull up the Supercharger map. I said other than I-10, I-25, and I-40. You could not drive from anywhere north to Silver city as an example. You could not drive down to Carlsbad caverns without plugging into a wall charger for 12 hours somewhere. I just drove a loop up to...

Really? Point out one lie.

Yes, NM still has an auto franchise law on the books that restricts sales or service in the state. I would agree that one is needed in Cuba as well.

I would disagree. I have plotted areas I can drive in this massive state from my home in Los Alamos, and it is very few. For instance, there are more than 40 Teslas in Los Alamos, but the nearest Supercharger is in Santa Fe, 45 miles away. For me to drive to Albuquerque and back, I will just...

The service tech is in Albuquerque, but his parts come from El Paso usually. It is ridiculous that we don't have at least a service center in Albuquerque. In fact, Albuquerque has 1 million people, and only a single Supercharger. This is a pretty massive Tesla fail.

Here is the connector if anyone is wondering. It is plugged into a white blankoff for storage.

TorkLift sells a wire harness that plugs into the connector and works without any software modification. I tested the pins with a multimeter when I had the bumper cover off, and they have 12v, so you are good that way. I say standard because the connector is the same as the ones BMW uses on some...

Sure, you know those 3rd taillights you buy at PepBoys to install into the receiver hitch? That would do it, but have to wire the LED lights onto the bike rack. I am thinking of designing a charger for the ebike when I have it on the rack. There is already a standard connector under the bumper...

Interestingly, I don't think the trailering mode would do that anyway with the factory hitch, and here is why. I own a Chevy Silverado with trailering mode built in. This means it has an integrated trailer brake and a 7 pin connector built in. The backup camera has a mode for backing up to the...

They delivered my car on a transport at 10pm on a Sunday night. I couldn't even get the screen to turn on, so I drove 8 miles with the access card to get the car home. I traced its gps, and it spent 2 weeks on that car hauler, from CA to NM. No service was done at all for 3 weeks after delivery...

The issue, is that there is no Tesla service in the state of NM, I think Elon is still miffed because our ex governor was an idiot and didn't want the Gigafactory here. So, the service has to come from CO or TX. What they would have to do is arrange a local body shop to paint the doors.

I think all of us may need to request a software update from Tesla to add a bike rack mode button on the screen to cancel out the annoying message that causes issues with Autopilot while driving. When the rack is in the up position, a message sometimes pops up saying the sensors are blocked, and...

No, You will have to lower them 45 deg. when you have more than 1 tray on, or the 2 tray base.

Here's an image of my door, and lack of paint for reference.

Here is the 2 tray and the 3 tray on the Model Y as well, so you can judge what you want to run.

Received mine a week ago and installed it myself in about 2 hours. I did have a spun bolt in the plastic tub, but it was forward and didn't have to be removed to pull the bumper. This is a problem Tesla needs to fix. Anyway, here is a 1up single tray on the Model Y with one of the bikes I...

My first MVPA was in my account before they texted me to pick up the car. I am in NM, so they have to deliver the car to me. While I was arranging everything they gave my car to someone else. After chewing them out, I found another MVPA in my account a week later. This time I called the Las...

Yes, it was loose on my Model Y performance right off the delivery truck. The service tech is bringing a new one as soon as he recieves the part. The adhesive tape is not in the correct place from the factory.

The paint on the doors of my blue Model Y performance is variable, but the rest of the car is solid. Clearly they have issues with the painting robots in the factory.
