I did try it and it does work although I had not opted in on the new profile so all I could do was cruise control vs FSDb. I've now done that so tomorrow will try switching those two.

This article - Depth of Discharge: Basics for Every EV Owner discusses you shouldn't wait to charge

haven't tried it yet but others say you can add an identical profile with FSDs off and quickly switch from FSD to AP/TACC that way

from the 2024.8 manual Stopping Mode NOTE: Stopping Modes may be unavailable for vehicles manufactured as of approximately January 2024. Regenerative braking decelerates Model Y whenever you release the accelerator pedal when driving. You can choose what you want Model Y to do once the driving...

2020 MYLR software - 2024.3.15 FSDs 12.3.4 still has both

LOL. You must not have a 2020. A working spray nozzle is worth every penny. My best outcome is to have it rain. I keep a small spray bottle in the car. Besides only 67.15 right now in Yankee fun bucks

I'll have to try again at the SC. They previously told me no. But perhaps armed with a part number I might get a different result. Alas, as I am decluttering, gave away my gear puller a couple months back. Have to see if I can borrow it back.

Are there just two versions? or 3. IF 3 which one is it? I though I had read that a 2nd version with more nozzles came out but isn't there one now with a heater? How well does it work? What did it cost? I'd love to have an actual working wiper on the driver's site

I guess being in FL helps both with terrain and temp. Once in awhile I can get that on a drive or I could until I bought the Michelin Sport AS/4s. But what is your lifetime Wh/mile? Mine was about 261 but has crept to 269 with the new tires.

I've never left it on that long to see if it turns off. Seems like a waste of money/electricity. I paid attention this morning and I two notifications. One is a normal notification with others on my phone/tablet. The other is a popup. Presumably from the app. THat is the notification that...

Maybe I'm misstating as a suggestion. I'll look today but I think I get the notice and in that notice I can turn it off. Again will double check this but if I"m right, I'm taking the presence of the button in the notice as a suggestion. I do often precondition but set departure to be 15...

The problem with scheduled departure (for me at least) is that I get a notice that the cabin is up to temp and the suggestion that I turn off cabin heat. This is pretty consistently at 15 mintues prior to departure.

thx I will be trying to hit it going south. Picking up the youngest daughter tomorrow and not sure I can quite make the round trip. Don't want to charge on the way back with a 4yo & 10mo so that looks like a good place to charge up, get coffee and wait for the plane to land.

Looking at Google maps. How do you actually get in to this place? I'm coming south on I-295 -> Walt Whitman bridge-> Penrose But once there getting to wawa looks weird

It was offered on the model 3 in Europe but I think that went away. That and seat room drove me to eh MY. And yes I would go for an 'S' next time except for the lack of tow.

In my 2020 MY FSDb works fine (or as fine as it works with no rack). There is some rear warning that sort of looks like a yellow mustache because it thinks you have a tail gater. And in reverse it complains. Same reason. I haven't used it with AP but if FSDb is working I'd assume AP is as...

I see a different one (called V4) similar to the one I'm using but maybe a little stubbier. And it looks like it comes with the newer keys. When I got my rack it came with that large V3 lock. Didn't want to comment on the V4 as I haven't used it but maybe if someone else has they can chime in.

I don't know if the clearances are the same for all years, but for my 2020 I got this from amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009V1WS4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works ok but was an interim item waiting for the one Kuat was sending me (they were out of stock at...

I always go to princeton. But when mobile comes out it is always out of springfield

The vibration was bad enough that I drove about 65mph max out west when the limit was 75 and everyone else was whizzing by at 80+. At 60-65 it was noticeable. Below 60 I couldn't tell. They got it on the first visit. Had to keep it overnight but I picked it up the next day. This was 3...

Yes, there was on the onset a slight pull to the right. That got worse as time went on. I put about 2000 miles on the car after first noticing the vibration (but not yet the pull) as I was returning to NJ from Colorado. At the point when I took it in the pull was noticeable. I'd say it was...

I had a vibration that would start around 65 and get really bad by the mid-70s. Finally took it in for alignment / balance. Turned out they had to replace the steering rack. At ~19,000 miles

no. have an android. I'm ok with tapping the HVAC button. I don't have a consistent departure time so I'd end up changing two schedules. I could also set one up with teslafi but again two schedules. In part it is curiosity as they kind of have the two tied together but no explanation about...

there are a lot of deductions and credits that you lose filing separately (I do volunteer tax prep and get certified every year by the IRS) but yes there are situations where it can be better. We had a couple where we did it both ways and separate was better. By a whopping $60 net (one went...

My question is not about going to a supercharger but the option that goes with scheduled departure Does anyone know if there is any difference at between enabling what is called preconditioning in scheduled departure vs just toggling the HVAC button before you leave? My reason for asking is...

China? Or South Korea? Got mine from South Korea and it appears to be a genuine Telsa. Telsa box, part number etc.

I read an article recently that claimed that cooling wasn't as bad as heating mainly due to the difference in temps. They were referring to heat pumps vs resistance heating but made the heating/cooling comparison that if you are at 90F you maybe drop 20 to 70 vs perhaps in the winter you're...

That's interesting abut the package shelf. I'm surprised it handles the weight. Mine is pre-shelf so can't consider that. Still for someone who doesn't carry passengers I think the upright behind the front passenger seat might be the best (at least until I do it differently <g>)

links and references to modern spare are all over the place. In an odd twist of the fickle universe it is modernspare.com. They even have a section for the model y Fits All 2020-2023 Tesla Model Y Models -Spare Tire And Complete Accessory Kit Options Personally I'm OK going naked locally...

Pretty sure it said chill & standard. That changed to chill & Sport Decided to check the manual from when I got it in 2020 (2020.20 manual) and yes, all three were present then Acceleration: Adjust the amount of acceleration. Chill limits acceleration for a slightly smoother and gentler ride...

alas there isn't anything I could use. Have AB & FSD. I've used supercharging three times other than cross country tripping.

anyone know if AB affects chill at all? Is regular chill identical to a boosted car's chill? Mine does seem pretty timid on chill but I don't use it very often and don't remember what it felt like a couple years ago when I bought AB.

I think my numbers were higher when I first got my car and got a bit better after a few thousand. Perhaps bearings and such settle in a bit. I am near Somerville for reference so my drives are a bit rolling, Nothing flat as the shore nor hilly as northwestern NJ. I bought a roof shade...

That's what I have found. For the first 15K or so I would drop to about 261 in the summer and up to about 268/9 in the winter. Took the car on the first real long trip (NJ->Denver & back ~3900 mi). Most of it on I-70. When I left I was on my way down to the summer number at 264. Came back...

My understanding is that you have to take delivery by the end of September. Important difference. I'd make sure which one of us is correct.

Oh, I think all that is possible. As for swapping batteries I think that is not feasible as in your graphic's that was abandoned. But even under your scenario, We're talking a 1/2 hour or so charge time to go the 600 miles per tank that our camry gets. And until the feds change their ways...

I don't know the facts but would guess the rebuttal is something about that mining not being as 'slave labor' intensive.

In the next few years this won't be an issue as battery tech does away with rare earth batteries. One thing I have wondered when this question is raised is how much of this stuff has gone to the EV market and how much has gone to every other dang electronic device? Do 10,000 cell phone...

In '21 we drove NJ->Denver and back. I was driving my Outback out to my daughter who had not been able to get it since COVID and we were tired of it sitting in the driveway for a year. My wife didn't want to drive the MY so she took her Camry Hybrid. I drove all the way home. Two years...

I don't think I use even 10% on a typical day. But if I were to buy right now and I could get a hitch, I would buy the MS for the <air quote>405</air quote> range. Recent 3900 mile trip (NJ->Denver and back) with the MYLR was OK, perhaps good. I figure I spent about 2 hours extra charging...

I still say you are incorrect (I won't abuse you with ignorant at best). It is straight forward math. You can pay (making up the numbers here) $35,000 for a $30,000 car by taking a 5 year loan by paying $7,000 a year to the lender or you can save that $7,000 / year and buy it in 5 years while...

unless you are getting the fed rate, irrelevant. Agree that emergency cash funds should not be used. Savings (i.e. paying cash ) is related because which way you choose will have you end up with more or less net worth. Sure they can have it. A matter of delayed gratification. You want to...

probably true but given the question of what I would do was asked, opinion was given.

if your savings rate is higher, pay cash. If it is lower than the loan rate take the loan. I've never run in to that so I've always paid cash. Don't be fooled by rebates etc. Often lower interest replaces rebates. If you have to choose, take the rebate and pay cash.

no. it makes sense if the rate is lower than what you can get from your savings, a cd, etc. inflation is irrelevant.

I don't recommend loans. Just can't stand the thought of that interest going to someone else. If I couldn't afford a tesla I'd more likely buy a cheap toyota. I did take out a loan once. But that was from my future wife for a used motorcycle (couldn't afford a car) and you can be damn sure I...

I wouldn't even include that. I'd say Can you afford it? They aren't cheap and is it worth your dollars? When are you going to to day to day charging if you don't have a home/garage. Similar to 2 on charging do you daily travel more than say 230 miles a day ? How will you plan to charge...

ChargePoint has DC fast but not around me. EA seems to have mostly fast but I have seen a couple J1772. I recently went to an EA in salina, ks that had several 350kw CCS chargers - Casey's General Store | Salina, KS | EV Station at a decent stop (Casey's market), bathrooms etc. over the...

I think PlugShare is better than ABRP for that. It depends on where you're going of course but I think the alternate apps/providers are EA then ChargePoint and finally EVGO Personal experience of course but I have not had good experience with EVGO. Chargepoint gets knocked for me because I...

All model Ys have CCS enabled except about a 3 or 4 month period during the summer of '21 (supposedly chip shortage). My aug 2020 build is only a few months from the startup and I have CCS. Used it a number of times. Go to software -> Additional Vehicle Information If will display CCS...
