I drove my 2020 LR Y from New England out to Vancouver, BC, Canada to visit family via Dallas, Texas to visit more family. The car is great in the mountains and is a joy to drive. Driving from Redding, CA to the Redwoods is a blast (except for the construction stops). Driving up to Crater Lake...

Had an interesting moment today with the radio. It was set to a local station. I got into the car and started driving it. No sound from the radio. I turned up the volume. No sound. I tried changing to another channel pre-set. Nothing. I pressed the radio icon and pressed yet another radio...

While driving yesterday, I heard this, for the first time... in 2 years! YIKES!!! Startled me quite a bit. No indication of anything wrong. Nothing! Screen was normal, nothing inside or outside seemed amiss. Just the loud beeping. I thought it sounded like the emergency alert tones. I had...

It's been about 2 years or so since I was at a gas station. However, we'd run out of gas for the snow throwers and so needed to get more for the next storm. My wife's Prius was finally below 1/2 of a tank. Turns out that if you use the EV for around town and with a pandemic, not going to as...

Wanted to get your opinion on what websites do you like for car information?

I admit that the first wheel to be cracked was my fault (sort of). I was on Auto Pilot at dusk. I did see what looked like to me as a paper bag in the road. I didn't try to avoid it, neither did AP. *WHACK* It was closer to a small length of a 2x2 piece of wood. That wasn't pleasant...

While on my recent road, I sadly discovered that one of the rear reflectors had fallen off. How can an owner get a new part? I waited until I got back home to deal with a nearby service center (only 1.5 hours away). I scheduled a service appointment (about 1.5 weeks in the future) using the...

Went for my first big road trip since getting my AWD LR Y last June. Managed to drive 4,292 miles in 14 days. I learned a lot about the car, which I wanted to pass along to those slightly less insane than I am. The first part of the trip was from NH to MI to visit some family. I took the middle...

Keeping in mind that I haven't been able to take long trip due to some kind of pandemic, I decided to figure out what was the fuel cost of driving the Tesla after my first 10 months. My lifetime average due to mostly slow (35 to 50 mph roads) in NH is 239 wh/mi. Reaching the forums, most...

Does anyone have any place they would recommend to get a car PPF or wrapped in New Hampshire? Thinking that a vinyl wrap in very similar to a PPF, but also allows you to change the color a bit, perhaps 2 tone. Any recommendations one way or the other would be appreciated.

It was a nice sunny day up here in NH. The outside temp was about 65. A nice break from winter. We were at a dog agility trial and the car was sitting in the sun. Dog mode was on and worked great. I was happy, sitting inside playing Beach Buggy and Cat's Quest. The dog were resting after...

Suggestion: What local folks can do, if there is a nearby supercharger, is create a geocache (see geocaching.com for details) for that supercharger. This will give the folks that are charging, something to do while there. Probably a magnetic one would be the easiest.

The FBI has recommended that people turn off the router at least once a week to have potentially clear any malware on the router. I actually turn off my router when I go to bed. 1) don't need it to sleep 2) why waste the power (yes it's not much but I also have my TV and other things on a...

Why??? Why would Tesla do this? Actually it's not entirely Tesla's fault... it's Vector Unit and Gentle Bros and PQube... Instead of actually driving my Y now, I find myself sitting in the car playing Beach Buggy and Cat Quest. Very addictive. I am here to warn all of you, stay away or you will...

I have had my phone connected to the Y for 7+ months now. It worked yesterday. Today, I get Unknown User API error. Both Wifi and Bluetooth are turned on. I can log into the Tesla Account via the website with no issues. I tried resetting the password for the Tesla Account which seems to have...

The other day, I was driving and a red rectangle appeared on the left side of the car on the left part of the center screen. It had 3 white dots in the middle of it. Have no clue what it was trying to tell me. Only lasted a few seconds. Has not returned since. Looked through the owner's...

Recently got update 44.X (I think it was 0 or 1). After a clean install, a few hours later, I got into the Y. The seat position adjusted for me, but the center screen was BLACK. Nothing. I put it into gear, R, to back out of the garage and it let me. No rear view camera view. I put it into D...

I have seen various threads of how the Y will do in the snow. Today I got my first experience with it. AWD, 19" Gemini wheels. Stock tires, Continental ProContact RX (I believe) rated 400 A A Overall, it was fine. The roads were mostly slushy with back roads having more chance to pile up. The...

Tried the owner's manual but didn't find this. As the weather is turning nicer, I shut off the A/C and opened the windows. When I parked (in a safe location), the car kept sending the multiple windows are open messages to the app. My wife received 3 of them today. The app notification menu...

Last night I scheduled my car to start charging at 10AM. I plugged it in and went to sleep happily. Why 10AM? That is when my solar panels are producing enough to handle the charging. No sense charging at night and paying $X/kWh when the utility only pays me $Y/kWh and $Y < $X. Have done...

We had a discussion is another thread about the order of Best and Worst Traits/Attributes. What is your choice?

Still trying to decide what to do about my beautiful Y. Ceramic coating? Wrap it? The wrap has a benefit that I can change the color or make it a 2 tone (or more). But what happens after a few years? Does the wrap start to peel? Will it crack in the winters here in New Hampshire (where it...

Is there a way to tell your car (via the app) to get ready to depart at a pre-selected time? According to the manual, in the car you can go to Charging->Schedule Departure, but what about from the app. In the summer, it's not a big deal, but in the winter, I understand that the batteries might...

Today was HOT. Got up to 95. Was charging the car in the garage and noticed that interior said it was 91. Via the app, I turned on climate control to cool it down to 78. As soon as I did that the dogs, inside the house started barking. They heard the noise and probably thought their Mom was...

Now that I have an xbox controller plugged in, I am enjoying beach buggy racing. It is a lot of fun. Much like another favorite, Mario karts. The 3 levels, Chill, Performance, Ludicrous are aptly named. Chill is easy and a way to learn the course. There are some shortcuts and alternate...

Does anyone know where to get some kind of rubber protection or maybe vinyl, to protect the same area between the hatch and the edge of the bumper? In most hatch backs, that area can easily get scraped up with all of the loading and unloading. However, on the Y, it is a very small area and...

Yesterday I set the bar at 570 wh/mi while driving up the Mt Washington Auto Road. I bet the CO folks can easily beat this on Pike's Peak or other peaks. Driving an EV up and down a mountain is FUN Starting with 62%, got to the top with 47%, back at the bottom was at 55%. The rules for this...

Was at agility dog trial today. Weather outside was mid to upper 80's and sunny. Set dog mode to 74. Great feature. Puppy liked not being outside. However in the 5 hours I was there, the battery drained about 12-14%. Anyone else have readings from using dog mode for any significant period of...

I bought a wireless Xbox controller to use while playing the arcade games. I plugged in the batteries and pressed power. The logo starts blinking. I went to Tesla screen and pressed bluetooth and said search for new device. I pressed the tiny button on the controller to also connect and the...

The radio has a HD FM tuner. Discovered that when I pressed the left steering wheel knob to go to next station and the station didn't change. However, the programming did. Pressed again, again station was the same, but different programming... Pressed it again and the next station was tuned...

Does anyone know how to turn OFF the FM radio? I checked the owner's manual but didn't see it mentioned.

The Adaptive cruise worked great except for 3 cases where it freaked out. A bit unnerving, since the first 2 times, we were following a car on the highway at speed and the car in front took the exit lane and started to slow down. Nothing in front of my lane except for open road and the cruise...

I decided to drive 4 hours to Paramus NJ to pickup my Blue/Black LR AWD Y. I was expecting to have to cancel the delivery since my VIN was 95xxx and given all of the problems I have read about, I was not overly hopeful. Why NJ? The MA SC can't deliver to out of state customers due to laws. I...
