    Supercharger - Monmouth Junction, NJ

    Swung by yesterday. No change from last week.

    Front license plate holder

    I'm on my second SnapPlate and the swivel on this one is definitely harder to work than my original one. Not sure. When I do remove it, it works very easily but is difficult when installed.

    Will these Teslas be replaced for free?

    Well, your option is to not have them fixed.... Not sure what you were expecting.

    3.5 year MYLR update 179.7k miles

    This is how commuting goes in the NY Metro area, so it's certainly possible.... :cool:

    VIN / Window Sticker Discrepancy

    As a stockholder, I sure hope they are not doing this! I can't imagine what part wouldn't be cheaper to ship to the assembly point vs sending an almost entire car....

    Matrix Headlight Retrofit Inquiry

    There's a long thread on here somewhere about this. I believe the answer was, it's not plug and play. If your car wasn't originally equipped with them, there's a different connector and software needs to be updated - which it can't be if you're not in the 'matrix-equipped' VIN range. But do a...

    VIN / Window Sticker Discrepancy

    You have 2170's regardless. But I'd reach out to your delivery person via text and ask about discrepancy. I assume VIN matches?

    Playing own music in 2024 Model Y

    Should be there. I'm not aware that the port for storing dashcam footage moved. It's on the driver's side, near the top.

    Cybertruck Spotted in South Brunswick!

    That one almost looks wrapped.

    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    Yes, it is, but no info on order date. Not even on the Purchase Agreement, which appears to be just a generic one, undated.

    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    Checking in here. My order number indicates that I'm somewhere around 288,000 in the queue. I ordered it sometime shortly after I got my Model Y in March of 2021. I can't seem to find the email I must have received when I placed the order, so don't know the exact date. I'd like the dual motor...

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    Yeah, after sitting in the refreshed M3 in the showroom, the interior improvements really bring the car up a notch. And it's supposedly much quieter inside when driving. The exterior changes, while relatively modest, do give the car a sleeker look. I do like it and think it will improve the MY...

    Auto Wipers

    There is nothing you can do. You're not doing anything wrong. They simply don't work well via the camera.

    Supercharger - Monmouth Junction, NJ

    Looks like the coverings on 2 of the units have been removed. No meters installed yet however.

    Tesla Extended Service Agreement (ESA)

    Good thread. With 49,xxx miles on my MY, I was considering a purchase of the ESA - even though I've never done this on any other car (or appliance, for that matter). I think I will give it a pass as well.

    Cybertruck Spotted in South Brunswick!

    A friend of my younger son's sent him a pic of a CT outside South Brunswick HS..... Will have to keep my eyes peeled for this truck!

    Lawrenceville NJ Service Center

    I've seen that the Tesla layoffs apparently are affecting Service Centers - anyone know if Princeton/Lawrenceville is impacted?

    Can "trail mode" be latched

    Nothing major. Some Autopilot features, as well as rear parking sensor functionality, may not be available when Trailer Mode is enabled. In addition, these features operate differently: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control increases the following distance from the vehicle in front of you. Side...

    Suspension groaning when turning wheel

    I had similar symptoms, it was upper control arms which were replaced under warranty. They also did the lower lateral links.

    Car wash?

    I typically get it after going through the car wash. WD-40 fixes it right up until the next time I go through.
  21. DanDi58

    Car wash?

    This. It's a car, I don't worry too much about it. And WD-40 on the black trim removes the discoloration.

    Supercharger - Monmouth Junction, NJ

    Stopped by yesterday - no change, no meter.

    Supercharger - Monmouth Junction, NJ

    I drove by it on Rt 1 North Saturday night, no lights on the stations yet so assume not powered up yet. Am going to Shoprite this am so will swing by and check status.

    Alert for leaving phone (key) in car

    No, but beeping the horn was always an option.

    3.5 year MYLR update 179.7k miles

    OP isn't supercharging, and there have been studies done that indicate that a lot of supercharging isn't as bad for the batteries as originally thought.

    Supercharger - Monmouth Junction, NJ

    Ok, ran down there this morning. No meter installed yet, and even some extra parts....! Magic Dock confirmed as well.

    Supercharger - Monmouth Junction, NJ

    Ah ok, duh..... I will take a look later today.

    Supercharger - Monmouth Junction, NJ

    I can get one next time I'm there, I live about 7 minutes away. But I'm sure that's what it is, I have charged at one in Malta NY many times. What's the meter look like?

    Supercharger - Monmouth Junction, NJ

    I stopped by this charger today and got out to replace a couple of cables that had fallen out - noticed that it was actually a Smart Dock install! I don't think it was like that previously, hard to tell from the pics posted here.... I can only find one photo I took on my phone and it's hard to...

    USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

    I don't think you really mean that 80% of the actual driving is consumed by preconditioning, My experience over 48k miles and many road trips is, it's a few percentage points over the course of a trip, and it's made up for by being able to get max charge rate when you stop to charge, shortening...

    Sound volume in Navigation mode

    You have to be navigating somewhere. So, sit in your car and enter a destination. Then you will see in the bottom card, next to End Trip, the '...' Hit that then settings.

    Sound volume in Navigation mode

    About a third of the way down tells you how to adjust the navigation volume for Model Y. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-01F1A582-99D1-4933-B5FB-B2F0203FFE6F.html Amazing what you can find in the owners manual.... :cool:

    Trade my white seats for black ones - 2024 Model Y

    I wish I had gone with the white seats tbh. They look great with DBM exterior. I didn't get them originally because I hated the white plastic dash piece vs the wood trim on the black interior. Didn't realize I could easily swap that out for a wood trim piece. Next time.

    Windshield wiper controls are the worst about a Tesla

    Lawrenceville NJ Service Center

    Just thought I'd report a good service experience at Lawrenceville yesterday.... Had the infamous 'creak' in the front left suspension, which indicates the control arms need replacing.... Confirmed by them, and they replace the upper control arms and lateral links on both sides. Took about 2...

    Replace steel fenders, a-pillars, and rear hatchback door with Plastic panels.

    I suspect you're not really a 'serious buyer' but a troll.

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    I sat in the new M3 yesterday for the first time, while my MY was in for service. If I had a choice, I would absolutely wait for the updated MY version. The interior of the new M3 is so much nicer, much higher quality feel, and the exterior changes are great too, other than the fog light delete...

    Windshield wiper controls are the worst about a Tesla

    I have to say - driving in the rain yesterday, the wipers weren't terrible for change. I know there have been reports from Tesla that they have an update for them coming, I wonder if that was part of 2024.2.7? It's not a documented part of that release, but they definitely seemed to be better...

    Upper control arm bushings , tesla wont replace

    Just had my car repaired today. They did upper control arms and lateral links on both sides. Car is nice and tight again, and quiet! Only hitch was that I noticed driving home that the steering wheel was slightly off-center when going straight. Took it back and they fixed it.

    Upper control arm bushings , tesla wont replace

    I'm taking my car in for this issue next week. It seems to be only on the driver's side. Will they replace both? I'm at 47k, so warranty repair but would rather have both done....

    CCS Adapter Support

    Whatever. My point is the same. As a stockholder I'd rather see them focus on something else besides a few CCS retrofits. Maybe fixing the autowipers. Or getting the Cybertruck updated with Autopilot. Or getting the new 'Model 2' out.
  45. DanDi58

    CCS Adapter Support

    Why? If NACS is a 'standard', using the Tesla plug, one should just be able to access charging either through an account such as EA, or by paying with a credit card. CCS doesn't enter into the equation.
  46. DanDi58

    CCS Adapter Support

    I would not hold my breath for a CCS retrofit, tbh. The M3's that don't support it are now approaching 5 years old, and there are relatively few MY's that don't support it (a small time period that I noted in a post above, during the supply chains issues in the late pandemic period). Looking at...

    CCS Adapter Support

    I have the adapter but it's really a 'belt and suspenders' deal if you're travelling in most of the lower 48 states.

    CCS Adapter Support

    There was a short period of time in mid-2021 where the MY did not have CCS capability due to supply shortages for the proper board.. I got my car in March of 2021 (built Feb 14 2021) and it is enabled. I want to say it was something like late June through mid-August if memory serves. Hopefully...

    Gyeon Leather Shield Streaks in black seats?!

    I just use baby wipes on the seats. They look great! But I do wonder what should be used on the wood strip on the dash.... I do dust it but because it's kind of an open pore cut, it tends to snag the Swifter and leave little pieces in the wood....
