    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...

    Shell Recharge - anyone use? know how?

    I was at a park today charging (lvl 2 chargepoint) while riding my bike. They are putting in some fast charging and the stations have "Shell Recharge". So I looked that up and figured maybe this is another charging solution. So I downloaded their app and although it is a bit hard to use I...

    ABRP help (or ABRP is so frustrating)

    I get really frustrated with ABRP's interface. Has anyone written a user guide? I don't use it that much but I end up doing the same thing over and over because somehow i lose stuff or don't save it right. It's frustrating that I can't type in a date/time for stops but have to use a calendar...

    how do access more than quick controls?

    Is there a way to access the non-quick controls in the app? I thought you could somehow but just updated the app and I can't figure out how. Seems like obvious need. What I mean by non-quick, I'm referring to all the controls you see when you long press a quick control. Yes I can drag one...

    What's the best lube for a sticky/squeaky window

    Rear right window squeaks a bit. It doesn't usually bother me but with the cold weather doing its roll/down/up when I open the doors, it is starting to bother me. I guess the best fix is a spray down the channel so what do you think the best (with a straw) lube would be?

    Can't find special character on keyboard

    I brought up the browser today to see if my locations would show on google maps. I couldn't logon because my password contains a vertical bar. I couldn't find that character on special characters. Lots of keyboards have multiple views but I couldn't figure out any other keyboards. I guess...

    Should the Charge Door Wake the Car Up?

    Mostly curious as to how this is supposed to work. I park in the garage and walk-away disabled for home. I use a 14/50 outlet with the UMC. I often plug in toward the end of the day and by then the car has fallen asleep. I can use the app to open the charge door. I can use the button on...

    Regen Braking Question - do it easy or hard?

    I don't see this discussed anywhere and have been curious as to what is the most efficient regenerative braking. For reference I have I have a 2020 MY LR. And I'm thinking of regen on 'standard' It seems that even if there isn't much difference that there is some difference between a light...

    Replacing the cabin filter questions

    I'm close to 2 years and figuring it's time to replace the cabin filters. I looked at a video at Abstract Ocean. Their video is for a new M3 but they say the Y is the same. But the tesla instructions look more like the old M3 in the video although the instructions are a bit different and are...

    Anyone using the 20" non-foam tires?

    I have the induction wheels (mistake) with the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 tires. Tire rack sells the non-foam version for almost $80 less per tire. I was looking for people who have switched between those two and their experience. Also thinking the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 and interested in those.

    How can FSD find my home again?

    Navigation / FSD no longer knows where I live. Other stuff like keeping the car unlocked and folding mirrors works. But now navigation is consistently trying to have me turn on the road before mine. And it's not trying to go around a block as that road is a short 4 or 5 house development /...

    Where is the Vent button?

    I wanted to crack the windows the other day. Obviously I cold just tap each control but figured if I have a 'vent' control in the app there must be one somewhere in the car. I looked in the current manual and I think every screen and can't find it. Anyone know if / where it is?

    New Charging in Shillington PA anyone?

    My brother told me he saw a charging new charging station near a Giant food store in Shillington PA. Address should be 2641 Shillington Rd Reading, PA 19609 supercharge.info doesn't have anything so it's probably not a supercharger but does anyone have any info on this. It would be...

    Wiper Washer Adjustment Question

    Anyone know how to adjust the spray on the washer nozzle? Or get at it? I can't even see it in service mode. It doesn't shoot water in the lower half at all so there is no cleaning in my line of sight

    What happens when your SOC is above your set limit?

    From various post here and elsewhere one reason to recommend keeping the car plugged in is that instead of drawing on the battery while the car is sitting there, it will use your charger / home juice. But what if the SOC is higher than the limit? Say I normally charge to 80% at home. At...

    Kuat 2.0 hitch pin hack / tip

    I got an NV 2.0 Base rack a couple months ago and as most know, the hitch pin that comes with it doesn't work with the model Y As some have reported, you can get a previous version of the hitch pin lock. But those have a different keying. A 3 digit key code vs a 4 digit key code. So when...

    Feasible to add solar roof with existing generator?

    Looking for thoughts on whether adding a solar roof with powerwalls is feasible or even makes any sense. I currently have a 20kw natural gas Kohler generator that is connected via an automatic transfer switch. I figure it would cost an arm and a leg to rip that out and was wondering if the two...

    Tesla Support (file under humor)

    I've been trying to buy the rear cubby bins for my MY. I've had a lot of trouble getting in the store for about a month. I'm not alone. I've seen other posts with this problem. At first logging in to my account would do the trick, but lately not. I did finally get in to buy these things...

    Speed Changing with TACC,FSD, or Basic Cruise Control?

    Can't find any reference to this in the manual and I note others seem to have some problems with car changing speed when the speed limit goes up or down on the road. So my question is How is this supposed to work? No matter what mode I put it in (i.e. single/double stalk engage) the car will...

    Anyone use the modern spare yet?

    I'm about to order a modern spare but wanted to see if anyone has actually used it yet. They claim no need for pucks. Yes/No? Any other thoughts positive or negative.

    Side wheel well covers or inserts

    I'm talking about those recess wells in the back where things fall in to. Anyone know of covers or fitted containers for those areas? It would be nice to at least have a cover so stuff didn't fall in like a gallon of milk did recently to me.

    How do I turn off SMS?

    I think this is TeslaFi, not Tesla but I'm not sure. I really want to turn off the SMS messages I'm getting. 20 some in the last 2 days. It's driving me nuts! They are coming from 312-600-4811. Assuming it's Teslafi, it would be nice to receive any problems when it say tries but doesn't...

    Begin Charge without My Phone?

    Is there any setting that lets me start charging when the phone is not near by. For example, today I did not plug in when I came home because I was going to bring in the trash can and would plug in then. Of course I did not have the phone with me as I grabbed the connector (I use the gen2...

    No Calendar Access

    I've only tried looking at my phone calendar a couple times and it has worked. But a couple days ago, I got the message something to the effect that I need to allow access. I checked the phone and it already allows it to the app (see screenshot). I don't know when this started but I'm on...

    Getting Rear Seatbelt Warning

    Anyone else seeing this? On the 2/3 rear seat (I think that's the left) I get a seatbelt warning when it's down. Not sure if it's a regular one. Kind of looks like a child but maybe it's just the normal one. I don't get it 100% of the time but most of the time. The other side doesn't seem...

    How do I get a Mobile Service Tech?

    I see posts from time to time for people getting a mobile service appointment. How does that work? I have a couple minor things (e.g. passenger door pull not closing all the way) and wouldn't want to spend hours waiting at a service center.

    When is the brake applied during regen deceleration

    Don't know if this would be MY specific or not. And I guess the question may be specific Hold stopping mode. The manual says that the brakes are applied when stopped, but is that it? Maybe below 5mph? It doesn't seem to wait for a complete stop as when I am on a slight hill, the stopping is...

    Wall Charger vs Mobile Connector vs Mobile Connector

    The Tesla store has two mobile connectors. $275 & $520. I guess the $520 handles higher current, but it appears to have a permanently affixed plug. Is that true? Seems like it's not very useful that way (although usually sold out) if it can only connect to one type of plug that you often...

    Controlling the W/mile rest

    I'm looking for a way to control when the watts per mile display gets reset. The default appears to be when ever it comes out of park. So if I stop at the Post Office and get my mail, my trip is split in two. I'd like to see it keep going for the entire trip. In my wife's Camry Hybrid, I...

    Tire Pressure for the Induction Wheels

    The manual states - NOTE: If your Model Y is fitted with Tesla accessory wheels or tires, some information may be different from the labels on the vehicle. I have 20’’ Induction Wheels. So are those "accessory wheels"? Seems like any but the 19" would be. And what the hell? "some...

    Anyone get a Tow Bar?

    Just picked up my MY on Tuesday. Checked and I got the ordered hitch receiver, but I don't see any bar. Looked back on the Tesla site in configuration and the shop area and it seems to indicate you get a bar and no ball. Can anyone confirm this? And where is it? Maybe I do have it but...

    Asking those with Lawrence NJ deliveries

    Wondering what others who ordered at the Lawrence Sales Center have on their MVPA I ordered directly at the store and last week got my MVPA. On it it indicates SELLER’S NAME AND ADDRESS: Tesla Inc. 1605 Route 70 West Cherry Hill, NJ 08002 Seems a little odd and I am beginning to convince...

    NJ Inspection

    Just learned to my surprise that I won't have to get my MY inspected. Is there some sort of registration sticker? Or you just risk getting pulled over from time to time? What is the NJ owners experience with this? thx

    Central NJ Service Center Survey

    I'm looking for opinions on the quality of service from the Princeton/Lawrence SC vs the Springfield SC. Lawrence is a little closer (and I ordered from them), but only a couple miles. So if one is superior to the other, I would likely choose that one.
