I know the first few months I was driving the car, we had an efficiency average around 254 wh/km. No that we are in cold weather this has jumped to about 345 wh/km listed in the trip computer. This is going from an average of 60 degrees to around 35 degrees.

It's NJ, Murphy will claim (and he is correct to a point), that the state is broke and has decreased funds due the pandemic and the program will need to be temporarily suspended.

I want the adaptor just for convenience. I travel from NJ to VT fairly often using I87 through NY. The rest stations on I87 use the CCS charging stations, and tesla superchargers have OK availability, but are further spaced and are fewer on that route. This becomes more important with more cold...

According to Tesla, one of the largest phantom drain is using third party apps that tend to keep the computer on longer, and people checking those apps more than the standard app.

In less chilly NJ temperatures I am seeing about a 25% to 30% drop.

Hopefully last update. After another week, we have the car back again. This time they did send it to the body shop to fix the paint properly and get the hatchback better aligned. The paint is good now. The hatch is better but not perfect, I guess it never will be. After three days the car...

NJ rebate is apparently out of money for now. May come back this summer.

I got my check last week. Car was picked up on 9/30 so is took about 10 weeks.

No sense in having it in the garage if you do not trust it to drive. Much happier having the loaner in that respect. No updates yet, app just says in service, nothing about parts ordered or a done by date. They get a little slack today since we had a decent snow storm, and I am not sure how...

I can ask for the Moon and request new car and the full self driving, no charge. :p

It does not technically meet the NJ requirements yet. For a non safety issue, the car must be out of service for 20 days and/or have had at least two service attempts for the same issue, and the defect must still exist after those requirements are met. So after this attempt to fix, it will...

I called my sales representative again. She did not call me back yesterday. I am going to basically give her three options: another chance to get it fixed, get me a new car, or I am filing a lemon law claim. Now, I am happy that the service department has taken noticed that I want to speak...

Got the car back after almost 2 weeks. Drove the car for three days. Again getting message that the car may not restart. They replaced the HV controller at 12 volt battery. Thinking this car may be a lemon.

This is why I called my delivery representative. She got it done fast. She is great.

It is not Springfield, and I think the employees are doing a good job. It seems to be more the Tesla mindset which wants to reduce human interactions and attempts to conduct business through texts or even better yet just the app. I would prefer a call or even a text saying simply, hey we found...

Now listing the part as a hv controller that has been ordered.

It is more that Tesla does everything through the app. My with could not get a service appointment till Friday, and only got a human when she said it was an emergency. I had the idea to call our local sales representative, who acted very quickly. I had a call from her and the service...

Lemon law in NJ is 2 years or 24000 miles for a serious issue the manufacturer can not adequately fix.

The service center has done a good job. What is frustrating is it is very hard to get a human to talk to. I actually had to call my sales representative and say I am bringing the car over now and we need a loaner. By the time I got to the center, the service coordinator and sales rep had...

38047. The manufactor date was 8/20, if I remember correctly.

Got the car September 30th. Has 2200 miles on it, and love the car so far. Wife got an error message that the car my not restart with driving. Later that day, got a second message saying electric system problem, car may operate at reduced power or stop suddenly. Then finally the car would...

Forces the issue with the local service center, which is only 10 minutes from me, and got the service appointment pushed up from Friday to today. Also got a loaner.

Thr Y had been doing great. Then today my wife gets in the car to goto work and gets an error message. Car may not restart. She calls Tesla they have her reset and filly power down the car. Then she gets a new message electric system failure car may stop suddenly, and or may operate at...

I picked up at the end of September and have the 19 inch wheels. The car even with the 19 inch wheels feels like it has very stiff suspension. I drive an Audi A4 and my wife used to drive a Lexus ES 300h. The suspension feels much more like the Audi on sport settings, while the Lexus always...

Using Tezlab, I have been surprised be the number of miles lost it reports from phantom power drain. Does anyone have strategies to reduce this?

I was offered 2.49% from Tesla and got 2.19% from my bank.

I do not know anything about item 1, but I had heard about item 2. I have a Y and this is an inherent design flaw since the lip on the top of the hatch protrudes a fair amount, and the back of the car is kind of flat in general. It would require a significant design change to fix this. To be...

I know it would significantly slow charging time, but has anyone used one of these to charge 2 Tesla? Is it doable? What changes need to be done to do it safely? I am thinking lowering the onboard charging to 16 amps would be enough, but is there anything else needed?

I purchased a 14-50 the day of my pickup and was specifically told do not worry we always have those in stock. Would have been upset if that was false.

Tesla has pretty much confirmed that the new batteries are about 2 to 3 years away and will be used in the Cybertruck, Semi, and S plaid first. So I suspect it will be many years before the Y and 3 see the new cells.

Unfortunately, in NJ there is a MSRP maximum of $55000 to get the $5000 state EV credit. So taking any of the better autopilots will push all but the most base level Y above that limit and you lose your $5k. Here it makes more sense to not buy the autopilot, then add it after you get your rebate.

I think they can share a 100 amp circuit, and the Wifi allows them to distribute the amps to optimally charge both cars.

For those data obsessed people, what phone app is the best? I personally have an Android phone. What app in general are really useful?

I plan on giving it a chance, it just took her by surprise, since its not like you can test drive these cars. I know I will keep at it. She is also the primary driver of this car, but it will be the general family car also, so she will put about 70% of the miles on it. I am a much more...

I am used to hybrids where taking advantage of the coasting with very light brake pressure make the car the most efficient. The only thing I do not like with the standard one pedal is the abrupt deceroration if you take your foot off. I would like it to be a little more gradual so the car...

So we just pick the car up yesterday and it is in hold regular regeneration mode. Feels very strange to use the car in one pedal setup. If I decide I do not like it, what settings get the Y closest to feeling like a traditional car? I am going to give this a chance, but wanted to know.

I suspect mine was a car that was cancelled or where the deal fell through. It had a few faults but non were at the level people declining them at. Plus, the car had not been prepped. I saw it on the lot with shipping plastic and tape still on it. So I never got a factory update, just a text...

I picked up the same configuration yesterday, ordered 8/14, delivered 9/30. It takes about 2 weeks to ship across the country, so if you are lucky it will be around that 4 week mark. I would redo your loan in about two weeks, and you should be fine. I had a similar issue where my...

The other thing is performance vs. LR. I also think it is much more common for people to order the base level white, with black interior, and 19 inch wheels, the cheapest configuration. At least that is what I saw at the delivery center, white Y's with 19 inch wheels. I suspect LR is a bigger...

I was told by my SA to get all that filled out ASAP as it seems to speed things up. I think color is the number one item that affects delivery. Judging from my pickup center white is by far the most common. At least 50% of the cars there yesterday were white. Mine was the only blue. I saw...

Wifi also allows multiple Powerwalls to communicate, if they are sharing a circuit, so they can optimize charging of multiple vehicles.

Saw the exterior up close and personal. Official purchase is in 4 hrs. Nothing i would reject the car on. I found lime 6 small things. 1. Driver headlight sticks out further than the passenger by about 1/8 th inch. 2. The rubber rain seal around the wipers into the frunk is misaligned and...

I doubt they will hit the MY or M3 anytime in the near future. Both cars are successful, and work as advertised. The new battery size may need a level of design changes and cost that is not justifiable in a successful car. Your average consumer is unlikely to demand rhe change or possibly even...

Well got two calls today from Tesla. One was a robo-call telling me my confirming my pickup. The second was an actual person at the delivery center asking if I wanted to pick up a day early confirming the car had arrived from MA. I said early pickup was not possible, and so 9/30 is the day...

I was looking around the lot for my car yesterday, but it was not there, yet. An employee spotted me, and I said I was looking for my car to get a sneak peak, my pickup is in 2 days. He looked up my vin and found the car for me, 3 states away (it arrived last night). Very nice guy, but he knew...

Then reject the car. If it is not up to your standards it is your money.

For those that have rejected Y's, how long did it take to get assigned a new car? I have arranged to sell a car, and likely can not back out. Also I have 3rd party financing, which has been a lot more work to set up rather than having the dealer do it, not a deal breaker, but a consideration...

I have been assigned a car the same way. I have the same worries. I am going to scrutinize the hell out of it.

I might have misheard the employee. But it is in MA, he showed me it on the app on his phone. I know it was a lot on Union Street, and looking around Walpole may fit the bill. There is a transport company at that location with a warehouse that looks like the one he showed me, plus the satellite...

I am getting a car that was not "made" for me. I ordered in August and got a notice we found you a car at a hub, your pickup date is next week. Had not heard anything from Tesla except you are 2 to 4 weeks from delivery before that. You may not have been a rush, you are more likely a car that...
