    Model Y climate battery usage unusually high (50% battery while driving)

    What software version are you at on your Y? I'm also in AZ (Chandler) and I was having similar problems with my 2020 Y until I got 2023.20.7, which seemed to fix it. I've been through 2 previous summers with my Y and it was never this bad. I'm convinced they broke something in some recent updates.

    Battery consumption high initially and then normalise

    What software version are you on? I was having high energy usage issues on the last few versions (2023.20.4) on my 2020 Y and just got an update to 2023.20.7. It seems to have fixed my issues as my energy usage is back in line with the estimates and what I'm used to.

    Wh/mile suddenly increased by 2x+

    Just a note that we got an update to 2023.20.7 and this problem seems to have gone away for us. It's been even hotter this week, and the energy estimates and usage were dead on, like I'm used to. The % wasn't dropping every minute like before, even while I was driving 80+ on the freeway. The AC...

    2023 M3 air conditioner using 70% of energy

    It's a 2020 Model Y LR AWD. Just a note that we got an update to 2023.20.7 and this problem seems to have gone away for us. It's been even hotter this week, and the energy estimates and usage were dead on, like I'm used to. The % wasn't dropping every minute, either, even while I was driving...

    Wh/mile suddenly increased by 2x+

    I'm having the same issue with my 2020 Y. It just started recently and no one here seems to believe it and wants to blame it on everything but the car itself (AC use, driving habits, etc.). It's not like I'm a new owner with no experience with the car. I've been driving it for 3 years and...

    2023 M3 air conditioner using 70% of energy

    Yes, it was only that hot for the last 20 miles or so of my 170 mile trip. When I started my trip in the mountains, it was in the 90s and my % was dropping like crazy then, before I got anywhere near those temps. I do expect the higher usage of the HVAC system. But that doesn't explain why my...

    2023 M3 air conditioner using 70% of energy

    We drove home today from Pinetop to Chandler via Globe. We left at about 92% charge and the Tesla initially said we should arrive with something around 40% without stopping for charging. As soon as we started driving, the estimated arrival % started dropping 1% every mile or so. It finally...

    2023 M3 air conditioner using 70% of energy

    So we're currently on a quick road trip from Chandler to Pinetop and the energy consumption is off the charts. I've done this trip a few times in this Y and the range calculator has always been pretty accurate (and closely matched ABRP), but today it was wildly off. Leaving from Chandler at...

    2023 M3 air conditioner using 70% of energy

    Just saw this thread and thought I'd chime in as I'm experiencing something similar. I'm also in the Phoenix area (south Chandler) and have a '22 LR-AWD 3 and '20 LR-AWD Y. I've noticed over the past few weeks that the Y has been consuming way more energy than I remember in the past two summers...

    MY running fine but service mode has lots of VCFRONT_a059_inputResistanceHigh warnings

    For what it's worth, I just had my 12v battery replaced under warranty (got a warning to replace soon) and I noticed some of these same warnings in service mode. I haven't gone into service mode again to see if they're gone after the battery replacement, but it seems reasonable to think they are...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I had mine delivered on Tuesday and had the prompt to update last night to this version as well. So only 2 days for me to get it. I was expecting to be on this custom factory version for a while, but I'm glad to get the latest with the goodies in it!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I took delivery today of my White/Black with 19" sport wheels LR AWD. Order date was 5/25 and I had home delivery in Chandler, AZ. Delivery went well and was so easy with them delivering the car to my house. Car was virtually flawless and looks awesome. Only a few small adjustments that I...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congrats man! That's awesome that it went so well. I'm excited for my delivery next week. And you confirmed that they drive it to you, not flatbed it. My mobile charger arrived today, so I'm all set if they don't include it in my car. It looks like the people that are still getting them are in...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just got my VIN today and have home delivery set up for next Tuesday 8/30 in Chandler, AZ. I ordered a white LR AWD with black interior and the sport wheels back on 5/25. Wasn't expecting to get it until October but the date kept inching closer. We already have a blue Y LR AWD that we got 2...

    Will Mobile Connector be in the car if I ordered it at the same time?

    I ordered my Model 3 LR AWD back in May and ordered the charger at the same time. As all of you, it just sat there for the last several months until I finally got an email today that it shipped. My car is to be delivered between today (8/23) and 9/5. So maybe they are waiting until your car is...

    So I have had my Tesla Y for 4 Days ...

    Yes, the 14-50 is huge, like an electric dryer plug. Look at your plug receptacle shape/layout and look at the plugs on that page to see which one matches (mirrored because you are viewing it from the plug side). Also, I would ask your electrician (or look on any paperwork you have) what...

    So I have had my Tesla Y for 4 Days ...

    I wouldn't necessarily say you should get the wall charging station. You'll be spending $500 on that, plus paying your electrician to come install it. The NEMA 14-50 adapter is $45 at Gen 2 NEMA Adapters. It's what I use and would recommend for the price.

    So I have had my Tesla Y for 4 Days ...

    There are several bugs with the Bluetooth functionality on the Model Y, this may be one or normal behavior. Another known issue is phone calls that will start out with the volume all the way down so you can't hear the caller. Hopefully, a UI overhaul is coming soon based on tweets from Elon...

    Weirdness Software

    I had some similar weirdness on Saturday after washing my Y in the garage (I'm on 2021.4.15). When I went to move the car the screen would not exit dark mode and wouldn't let me change random settings (they were grayed out). Also, my battery display was switched to miles (from %). I rebooted...

    Tesla Offer Model 3/Y Frunk Group Buy

    I sent a telegram message to Raymond and he replied. He said I was the third person who's had this issue. They think it's an OEM issue with a recent update. He asked a few questions and gave some suggestions to test it out, but I wasn't clear on what he was requesting. I sent him a response to...

    Are you sending him emails or reaching it to him over Telegram? Looks like technical support is only over Telegram. I guess I'll create an account and send him a note there.

    Well, I spoke too soon, It's working sporadically again. I even updated the firmware on it and still no luck. @allen514, any response from TO?

    Tesla Offer Model 3/Y Frunk Group Buy

    Just a note that mine seems to be working ok now. Only thing I did was unplug the module and plug it back in again. Maybe it just needed a full power down to reset it.

    charging, how often do you plug in at home?

    When we first got our Y, I plugged it in almost every time we got home or at least every night. It became my nightly routine to go out and plug it in before bed. We were charging to 80%. But most of the time, we had only used 10% - 20% at most of the battery and didn't really need to charge for...

    Model Y PPF and window tinting options in AZ

    I can't answer a lot of your questions, but I can recommend a good place in Tempe that did the window tint on my Y (I'm in Chandler). It's Dynamic Tint, right near the Tempe Service Center. They do great work and have all kinds of options for window tint, ppf, paint correction, and ceramic...

    "Acoustic glass" windshields on new Model Ys?

    I'd be interested to know this as well. I'm having the windshield replaced on my Y on Monday. I'll ask them if it's the exact same glass or something new and improved.

    MY accelerated on it’s own!

    I had an "accelerating on its own" incident a few days ago and figured out what happened within a few seconds. I had pulled up to pick my daughter up at High School after her theater practice. It was much later in the day so there wasn't really a long line of cars, etc. There are lane markers...

    Tesla Offer Model 3/Y Frunk Group Buy

    Has anyone else had an issue where the button inside the frunk no longer closes it? I can open and close the frunk with my phone app and the screen inside. But the button inside the frunk no longer does anything (it does light up, so it's plugged in). It used to work and I don't know exactly...

    New 14-50 Install Completed

    Yeah, I thought it was a great price and they did great work. I knew that once I drove a Tesla, I was going to want a second one at some point in the future so I had two outlets installed now. And as you said, I think it's going to be a nice selling point in the future as EVs become more common...

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    We got our Y tinted on Friday - Expel XR Plus 35% front, 55% rear/hatch, and had the center console wrapped in Expel PPF matte at Dynamic Tint in AZ. It turned out awesome! We're going to wait until next summer to see if we need the roof or windshield tinted since we're starting to cool down. It...

    August/September VIN Notifications and Deliveries

    Picked up our Blue/Black, 19" with tow yesterday in Scottsdale, AZ. Went well, just a few minor things to have them look at, but if they didn't fix them, wouldn't be an issue to me. I've never had a brand new car that didn't need some type of adjustment to something when I bought it. And...

    August/September VIN Notifications and Deliveries

    This is interesting, we picked up our Blue Y today in AZ and it too had a small chip/paint defect on the edge of the rear passenger door - the edge between the front and rear door. I wonder if something on the line was nicking the door while it was being painted or being installed. I just find...

    West Coast people still waiting for a Model Y... is it Blue?

    I ordered a LR AWD Blue on Black in August and got my VIN on Sunday and picked it up today. There were several other blue Ys being delivered as well. I think it was a recent batch that got made for western deliveries - I'm in AZ.

    August/September VIN Notifications and Deliveries

    I ordered a Blue/Black LR AWD, 19", tow, no FSD on 8/23 for pick up in Scottsdale, AZ. I checked my Tesla order page yesterday and nothing showed up. I checked again late last night on a whim and saw my MPVA and the "Pay off your balance" message and it listed a VIN of 55796. Got a text this...

    August/September VIN Notifications and Deliveries

    This is something Elon has said himself (first 6 weeks of quarter are overseas, next 3 weeks are east coast, and last 3 weeks are west coast) and seems to hold true if you look at recent notifications for delivery. Almost all recent delivery activity has been in the northeast and southeast. I...

    New 14-50 Install Completed

    I wanted to add my experience in getting ready for my Model Y delivery. I just had my electrician install two NEMA 14-50 plugs in my garage in preparation for our Model Y and another future EV (most likely another Tesla). They used two 125' 6-3 wires and had about 10-15' left on each one. My...

    August/September VIN Notifications and Deliveries

    Same here in Chandler, AZ. I have a LR AWD, blue, black interior, 19" wheels, and tow hitch on order. Reached out to my sales guy yesterday and he said we should have info soon. When I got the text today I was wondering if it was because I reached out yesterday, but based on all of the same...
