    Homelink installed at factory?

    No not possible. They will come install it at your residence if mobile service is available.

    Snow chains

    Whatever you buy, make sure to try it out before actually taking it to the slopes. I bought one on amazon that claim to fit the gemini wheels and they didn't. I had to spent $$$$ to buy something at a hardware store on the mountain. That was NOT fun.

    Body work needed

    Honestly, take it to any reputable body shop. I recently had a nasty hash on my blue MY door and I didn't use a certified Tesla body shop. The Tesla tax is real. The body shop did an amazing job at a great price despite the door being aluminum. The bumper is plastic composite so it can be...

    Newish tires.. Worth it?

    You are good. It is perfectly fine to use. I would say each of my tire has been plugged and one of them has similar cut out of the foam due to being patched.

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Yeah. I got my SR RWD back in 2021 March. Fortunately, I have he heated steering wheel but didn't have the BDM + HEPA filter. HEPA filter improves the air circulation significantly. Only thing I am missing now is the ECU.

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Good luck! Just need to find the right person.

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    After driving for a few months with the hardware and without the BDM software, I finally did it and got it! All it took was for the right mobile ranger to come and give it a shot. I had an appointment for another issue and was chatting him up when I casually ask him to check if he could help me...

    PPF & Ceramic coating is it worth

    I do have a small nick just next to the front license plate. I'm leaving it alone and feel great knowing that the ppf took the damage and not the bumper. Maybe eventually down the road if it gets more damaged then I will redo the ppf but no plans for that now.

    PPF & Ceramic coating is it worth

    I only had my front bumper PPF'd done professionally. Cost me $600. I did the doors myself for just the materials which were about $230 from ebay. Hindsight, I should've done the hood also myself. I also did ceramic coating for cost of materials for $80 and took me about 3 hours. I will never...

    Brand new MYLR, no AP, TC, SC

    Something is not right. Raise a service ticket and see if they can remotely diagnose it for you.

    My Model S totaled so sad

    Good find. That's one way of getting back free supercharging! But honestly, best to get a new Tesla. The tech has improved dramatically.

    Model Y , black vs white interior comfort difference.

    Basic cleaning can be done with baby wipes. But after a while, you will need special cleaning agent. Don't use hard stuff. https://evehiclepro.com/clean-white-tesla-seats/

    Have white. Zero regrets.

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Just tried raising service appointment at two of my SC and both denied it saying the retrofit isn't' official. I think I give up at this point. I also tried service mode on the car and couldn't find anything. So I am not sure how some of you listed here were able to get the mobile ranger to do...

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Now that I've had the general update and the HEPA hardware for some time, I can share that there is a difference. When on auto climate, the fan speed is noticeably more restricted even if I set it to high. With the HEPA update and BDM, the fan speed will be adjusted to run higher. Hope Tesla...

    Mid-2020 Model Y BioDefense - PNW

    Did you actually look into your hood to see if you need to drill? There may be a pre-cut hole there.

    Advise needed. Cannot take delivery right now

    Most you can delay is a day or two. You can take your chances and ask when they schedule your delivery. They might allow you to lose your vin and go back into the queue for the next available but due to demand, you may be matched again in a few weeks. Just lose your deposit and reorder when you...

    recommended charging habit

    If you set charge to start at 8pm, it will not charge even if you are plugged in. IMO, that is fine. You don't have to constantly be charging it. Charging it nightly is perfectly sufficient for battery health.

    Car Alarm Nightmare (Again)

    Your daughter sounds young. I would not leave a young child in the car alone no matter how quick your errand is or what mode you use.

    Los Angeles - Model Y 19" snow chains for rent - $20

    I had to buy snow chains as the one from Amazon didn't fit when I was in Mammoth Lakes so I'm renting these out so you don't have to. $20 for a week. See photo. Pickup location in San Gabriel. Most places require you to carry them by law if there has been snow. I will show you how to put them on.

    800 mile 0 degree road trip

    Yes! Autopilot really takes the stress out of driving.

    Is it feasible for tesla to give us an option to warm up the battery without defrost from the app?

    Why do you need to heat up the battery before you drive it? The car can go ice cold. No warm up needed. Regen may be limited but who cares?

    800 mile 0 degree road trip

    This 100%. I think this is the biggest benefit imo. It really changed my behavior. I honestly don't know why I always felt like I had this urge to arrive at my destination on time or ASAP with my ICE. I would be flying at 90mph going on the fast lane to and from LA / VEGAS / SF. Now, I just...

    Spare Tire Installed!

    Thanks. I was wondering the same about the cutout. You're right. Not pretty but its hidden quite well. Shows a spare could fit and its unfortunate Tesla decided not to implement this in their cutout design.

    New 2023 Model Y Owner

    I also have eagle eyes and became known in my friend circles as "the tesla guy". I helped them go through the checklist when they got their MY and pointed out some issues I discovered and instructed them to raise a SR to fix. I don't think any of them did it. All the issues were so minor that...

    Tesla Loaner Wheel

    And here is where they note that it is updated on their site.

    Tesla Loaner Wheel

    I posted it elsewhere. Here you go. I INSISTED I would take my tire to repair myself but they denied my request.

    Tesla Loaner Wheel

    Look at my screen capture I posted a few weeks ago. That was not given to me as an option.

    Is my car totaled?

    Honestly, I agree with jjrandorin but this look fine. It won't be total. The damage looks isolated to the upper front. No frame or battery damage. Airbags in tact.

    Tesla Loaner Wheel

    That's annoying. I am surprised they didn't require you to repair or replace the bad tire through them. That was what I was told when I tried to use their loaner tire.
  33. Ken_Y

    Think it’s totaled?

    Depends. Did the underbody hit or grind the ground? In other words, did the battery get impacted? If so, it'll be totaled.

    White spec (dot) on msm Model Y during PPF Install

    Just move on. It's so miniscule. You are probably over the 3 day warranty where Tesla may have covered it. End of the day, you will not know the root cause.

    Supercharging frequent usage

    It's preferred you charge with AC as much as possible but it won't impact warranty. Some people can only charge 100% using SC.

    Bottom foot trunk filling with water

    Yep. Take it to a non-tesla tesla specialty shop. They can probably fix it just as good. If you are around / near san gabriel valley, I can recommend you a space.

    Anyone know what this is?

    Just slip it back in.

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    I went back and raised a service request at Burbank but now they said no such retrofit exists. They're asking who I spoke to but it was over the phone and I don't recall the name. I also went to another SC where the tech was kind enough to walk me through the portal and there were no modules...

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    I submitted for Heat / AC issue and said air flow was low. But then when they asked me more specific questions, I said I had hepa retrofit done and needed the bwm and told me there is no such retrofit for my 21' MY and ignored me.

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Finally got it installed! Thanks to those who gave tips and the parts list. Thanks @everydaychris for the video! I didn't follow any guide and it was pretty self explanatory. I did have to remove the tub as I didn't want to damage some cable in the process. I was fortunate to have the M6 screw...

    Model Y HEPA filter air intake cover?

    Like any intake, you'll need to clean it every now and then. Not hard to do.

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Beware. Please check the parts thoroughly before leaving. My hepa filter was cracked. Upon getting a replacement, I noticed the price went from $70 to now $150.

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Thanks for the video! The M6 40mm screw was confusing but the video makes it crystal clear. Got the parts and plan on working on this tomorrow.
