    2021 Model Y LR Front Howling

    Rear tires usually wear faster than the front tires on this vehicle. Have you gotten your tires rotated before, or are they in the same location since new? If the fronts truly are wearing faster than the rears to have a 3/32" delta between them, the noise is probably cupped or feathered tread on...

    Model Y : AC Replacement $3800-4200 (Common Issue)

    You're not going to have much of a market for selling a Tesla with a broken heatpump. The entire vehicle's thermal management system is non-functional if the heat pump doesn't work. Fix it and enjoy your car. The early heatpumps are known to be more problematic than the later versions. You got...

    2024 Model Y Gemini Rim Paint

    Are the black marks through the paint, or on top of it? (Fingernail test them) I suspect you need to use a more aggressive compound. Wheel cover scratches on the spokes are unfortunately normal, but shouldn't be deep enough to warrant painting them. Polishing with an orbital buffer and some...

    2023 MYP suspension questions

    😄 My head was literally bouncing off of the headrest going through NYC. My wife's too - we were laughing at how uncontrolled the car was over bumps and expansion joints.

    2023 MYP suspension questions

    Moving from 21" to 19" doesn't have much of an effect on ride quality. The dampers are 100% to blame. It's still going to be "jumpy" and harsh on -2022 suspension. When I put my winters on, it's still like driving a truck. The dampers get even stiffer as it gets colder out. I would do the...

    240V Outlet Install with a poorly placed main panel

    Two quotes in the same ballpark usually means the job is just difficult and/or expensive. If the electrician seems cool... it might be worth asking them what they would charge to do the job on a Saturday for cash as a side job. You can remove all of the company's overhead with that option -...

    OEM HEPA filters done after 1~ year?

    Just to update: After changing my HEPA and cabin filters and NOT resetting the stats, the percentages did not change after driving many trips all weekend with the A/C on. Either it requires a lot more driving, or it doesn't work the way we thought. Just reset everything back to 100% yesterday...

    OEM HEPA filters done after 1~ year?

    Carbon is on top in the frunk housing. The new filters come with new rubber gaskets. (At least the ones from Tesla do)

    OEM HEPA filters done after 1~ year?

    Yeah, the HEPA kit is for four filters (2 paper 2 carbon) under the frunk. The cabin carbon filters are extra. This car has a total of six air filters. Wild! After doing both yesterday, I'd say the HEPA and cabin filters are about the same duration and skill level. I got slightly more...

    Has anyone tested the US Matrix functionality yet?

    I haven't seen any videos posted of the new US Matrix functionality introduced on 2024.20.1. Curious what it gets us, since it's supposedly a pared-down version of the matrix capability they get in the EU. "Headlights now adapt for curves in the road ahead for greater visibility in low...

    New: TPMS Re-Learn Feature in Service Mode for Incorrect Positions

    For those with TPMS positions that don't line up with reality, this may help. It looks like this screen was added in the last few software updates. I am on 2024.20 now. Erasing the TPMS IDs should allow the vehicle to re-learn the positions properly, if you are in a situation where your...

    OEM HEPA filters done after 1~ year?

    If this gauge worked properly, which it may or may not at this juncture, I would think that 10-15% would be the correct reading for a car that needs a filter change. Since my airflow was terrible at an 80% reading, I think we can gather that it doesn't work very well yet, or didn't have enough...

    OEM HEPA filters done after 1~ year?

    I had the climate on for about 30 minutes last night. No change to the numbers after a new set of 6 filters. I'll give it another day or two before I reset the stats on mine. One thing of note, the HEPA filters are on a "B" revision now. My 2022 came with the "A" revision. The only difference I...

    OEM HEPA filters done after 1~ year?

    Done... now to go for a few drives and see what service mode says! HEPA was at 84%, Cabin at 100%. I replaced everything including the interior carbon filters as well. This car has a ridiculous amount of filtration. Our EV9 has a single, crappy paper filter in the frunk, for a car with 2x the...

    OEM HEPA filters done after 1~ year?

    Right, I just find it odd that mine is such a high percentage given that I can barely get any air out of the vents. You'd think if that were the case, the health would show a lot lower. I'd be willing to test your theory to see if the health changes up or down - I'll report back once it's...

    OEM HEPA filters done after 1~ year?

    My HEPA filter is showing 80% but my car struggles to blow air through the vents. My new HEPA filter set comes today. I will reset the filter life gauge in the service menu. There is no way this filter percentage can possibly be accurate on cars that are already delivered, because the gauge was...

    Tesla Model Y Radar Detector

    The car's DC to DC converter keeps the 12V/16V topped up when low. It would be running if the car is awake and the radar detector is on. I don't believe there is a scenario in which a 12V appliance can kill a Tesla since the car can just recharge itself when needed.

    2021 MYLR Dual Motor: grinding/squeal when shifting into Part

    My car just started doing this two days ago, which made me remember reading this thread. I fixed it, I think, by going into service mode and putting each parking brake into service position. (I think it's called EPB Service Mode, for when you're replacing the rear brake pads) This fully...

    Wall Connector/Model Y charging starts at wrong time

    Yeah, if there's a situation where you want/need to charge during the day... Logging into the wall connector is a pain. Leave the WC fully open and you can use the car's scheduling.

    Replaced a flat with T2 instead of T0

    Too close of a stagger for the computer to notice, assuming you kept the aspect ratio the same. 235/255 would probably be the threshold.
  28. fiehlsport

    Replaced a flat with T2 instead of T0

    If you stagger properly and maintain the same diameter front and rear, you'll be fine. With that said, the MYP does not follow this guidance and have the same diameter tires front and rear, but when you select 21" Uberturbine in the software, it accounts for it. If you select 19" or 20" in the...

    Replaced a flat with T2 instead of T0

    Tesla's own documentation has stated that the T2 provides slight efficiency improvements over the prior versions. I highly doubt it's perceptible in real world driving though.

    2022 MYP Tires after 68k miles

    Agreed - don't touch your alignment. I can almost guarantee it will show as "needing" one - but you probably don't. How much tread was left? Bald? Cords?

    Towing Rpod 171 with Model Y - Need Guidance on Equipment and Installation

    I have a Tekonsha Primus IQ already wired into a Tesla harness that I can sell if anyone needs. Was planning a camping trip this year and it had to be cancelled. Won't be towing any time soon again... It fired up just fine on the Li-Ion 16v system my 2022 has. (The pinout of the vehicle actually...

    Ideal State of Charge Kevel

    Yep, 80% is no longer considered "the sweet spot" for this particular battery as more people have figured out. I'm a 55% SoC guy myself now. But for the layman, 80% is perfectly fine long term. Just not for us nerds.

    80% Charge is Only Showing 168 Mile Range? '22 MYP w/ 17K miles

    Yep, the battery needs to rest at various SoCs in order to calculate its available energy correctly. Let it sit overnight at 80, 50, 20%... whatever is reasonable for your next day's commute. Don't charge it for a few days if possible. Let it figure itself out over a range of SoCs. I don't...

    Hankook ION EVO AS SUV - Model Y Tire Review

    Just to nitpick ;-) PS4S PSAS4 And there is even a PS4/PS5 without the "S" at the end - a more mild version of the PS4S and Pilot Sport S5 (Michelin changed the nomenclature on the 5 again)

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    Yep - You may have watched the video I just posted a few days ago actually 😁 If the trailer brake controller port isn't active then it's probably a service issue.

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    I think you're talking about two different things. The Li-Ion battery vehicles have a trailer brake controller harness in the footwell, this should be active. I just used mine the other day. The 12V aux pin at the trailer hitch is not enabled, however.

    Hankook ION EVO AS SUV - Model Y Tire Review

    The PSEV is a 100% summer tire, just like the Pilot Sport 4S. Not ideal for frosty weather at all.

    Best tires for 2024

    Your tech may have static balanced them rather than dynamic. There's a chance one or two wheels only need weight on one plane, but it's unlikely that all four are like that. They might roll "fine" but you'd notice at very high speeds, like 70/80/90+.

    Best tires for 2024

    The Hankooks will get to be just as noisy as the Contis as they wear. Just a symptom of new tires on a Tesla.

    New 240v outlet pulling 0 amps.

    14-50 can be legally installed on a 40A breaker, using wire permitted for 40A as well. It's a good idea to mark the receptacle as such, but for the mobile charger @ 32A they are fine.

    Great news, thanks for following-up.

    Continental Tire Cut < 45 Days(1600 Miles)

    There's nothing wrong with driving on it on any axle. It's fine, nothing penetrated through the belt. There's Ubers and Lyfts with far worse tires driving around that will never experience a blowout.

    Continental Tire Cut < 45 Days(1600 Miles)

    Now that the second pic is posted - Yeah, it should be inspected. Still nothing crazy, but I would look to see if there are visible steel belts through that. If it's just rubber inside - you're good, and it didn't go down far enough to affect the structure.
  48. fiehlsport

    Continental Tire Cut < 45 Days(1600 Miles)

    I don't see anything worth repairing or replacing. That's barely into the tread. You're fine to drive on this for a long time. And yes, you drove over something - Continental or Tesla are not at fault nor is this covered under any warranty.

    Tire losing air

    Back tires almost always get the punctures. The front tires kick up debris, and the rear tires catch the sharp point mid-air, causing the puncture. I rarely see leaky front tires due to punctures. It's crazy. It certainly happens, but not as much in my experience.
