    Dead Car- 12v battery?

    Drove home yesterday with no warnings. Plugged the car with the home charger. This morning wife unhooks the charger, notices battery is fully charged, then car goes haywire. Warning signs pop up to pull over, battery indicator goes to 0 and cannot even plug in the charger cable. From what...

    285s all around- good or bad?

    I had a front tire blow out and they had to replace both front tires. Never really checked the tires (its been about 2 months) but noticed they put on 285s instead of 255s on my Model Y Performance. I really haven't noticed any significant difference in driving dynamics. Any harm keeping...

    Turning in my FanBoy status

    Used to be a pseudo Fan boy of Tesla- no more. I believe in steady but forward progress I.e. iphone, Porsche 911. Tesla unfortunately in my opinion has stagnated over the past year to the point it is more dangerous to drive a Tesla. A few points (no particular order) -Interface totally...

    Suspension recall and Mountain Pass suspension kit?

    If I installed the Mountain Pass suspension with the rear chamber link do I have to worry about the recent Model Y suspension recall?

    Dubai observation [more model 3 performance than SR/SR+]

    In Atlanta I rarely see a M3 Performance nor Model Y Performance. I recently got back from Dubai and only saw M3 Performance models (private party vehicles). I guess different priorities.

    Wheels/tires directional?

    I have to replace 2 drivers side wheels/tires due to a pothole induced blow. Have a complete wheel/tire package coming. Can the fronts/rears be interchanged between drivers side or passenger side or are the wheels and/or tires directional.

    Mountain Pass Coilover- retaining screws

    I had my coilovers installed last week and they are amazing. The front of the car has dropped by at least ¼" since the initial install. I am assuming most of that is due to the suspension settling in. However I am getting paranoid that the installers did not tighten the lock screws on the...

    How do you hang up the phone

    How do you hang up the phone from an incoming call. On the Model X you can hit the right scroll button to hang up. Cannot find anywhere easy or intuitive the Y to hang up.

    Really nice interview with Elon

    Really enjoyed this interview. Love Elon- very genuine, honest, and extremely smart. "When to buy a Tesla- either in the beginning or when production is ramped up" - I doubt any other CEO will say this about their cars. Admitted issues with the paint and gaps. Love his take on MBAs in the end.

    Dear Elon: just remove navigation from your cars

    Rarely if ever use the built in navigation system. Used it today and did not displease. Utter garbage, period.. Maybe acceptable 10 years ago.

    Spoiler advice

    My rear spoiler is coming unglued at the edge. Should I try to fix it myself or just get Tesla Service fix it.

    One of my best upgrades

    Was having problems with a large blind spot area with the Model Y. Installed these rearview side mirrors by Suma Performance. What a difference.

    Green light means "go"

    I've been playing around with the updated Autopilot feature. Maybe its just me but I thought green light means go. However the car stops at green lights unless you intervene as the warning states.

    Brake lights- Regen braking

    I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere. Does the brake light come on every time the regen. braking is engaged? sometime/all of the time/none?

    Charger location

    Maybe a stupid question but how do I find the nearest charger/supercharger from the car. I can see them on the app, however I'm not sure where to find them on the car navigation app.

    Flat tire

    Need suggestions. My wife sustained a total flat tire and barely made it to park in a garage. I'm out of town so I will not get to it for another 2-3 days (she is using another car for now). It looks like it will be a tight fit for a flat bed tow truck and I am afraid to drive it out of the...

    Replacement iphone

    Getting a new iphone replacement. Will the Tesla app access the car as before or do I have to have Tesla provision the new phone.

    How does the 12v battery charge?

    In an ICE car the battery gets charged by the alternator. How does the 12v batteries in Teslas stay charged? If the battery dies, can it be jumped?

    Prefer Model X Autopilot

    The model Y's autopilot is not as robust as my wife's model Y's. If the car in front of you changes lanes there is about a 2 second delay in the Model Y before it accelerates. The X accelerates almost immediately. Is there any settings I can change or have I gone down in technology?

    Red

    On the configurator it states the "red" color as "multi-coat". Does that mean it is better? no color variations as the other colors?

    New car defects. Does Tesla offer discounts?

    I have not received my car yet. It is evident there are numerous production defects in some of the cars. Does Tesla offer any discount or condolence prize if you accept the car. I'm asking because some of these defects appear minor and I would probably accept it if they offer some incentive...
