    I have tried to drive slowly on parking lots for back-in parking, but never got the Parking icon. when i manually parked, then the Blue lines show up when i was almost into the parking spot.

    FSD uses, auto steering

    Bought my Model Y with FSD as I would like to “go with technology”. 1. For those with experience FSD, what do you like the most? what do you find the most enjoyable? 2. I am still so nervous with auto steer as the Y approaches the exit with a much higher speed than I am accustomed to, as a...

    Installed the mud flap without reading this board and ran into this problem and many of you had. The spot weld nut is now broken and screw is stuck. I removed the cover and could see a round, plastic nut, and could touch it with my fingers but not enough room to put a pliers to hold it why...

    Ordered MY LR today. What’s next?

    Just to make sure that I have not missed any step and that my order got in the queu. I completed the registration and payment method. The next steps are insurance and agreements prior to delivery. I saw a few posts mentioning that profile needs to be completed. What does it mean? Any extra...

    Model Y LR vs Performance

    I am set on a MY LR, but the wait time is ridiculous. I do not need the Performance, but I can get delivery in December. In addition, it looks like I need to get a new set of wheels and tires as even the MY 19” is still a little harsh for us. I am inclined to wait for LR. What do you think...

    Please help with FSD option

    My MY was totaled. Mine had FSD. I checked with tesla and they said FSD is not transferable. GEICO told me that their comparables had FSD. The comparables are from dealers, so since FSD is not transferable, i think there is no way they would have it. I have the VIN of the comparables. How can...

    My 2021 MY is totaled at 6k miles. Is FSD transferable?

    Could someone give me a Tesla contact? I have a hard time getting an answer. Went to the Sales Center and was told NO, but I don’t know if the agent knows. I hardly used my FSD on 2021 MY, but got into an accident and the car was totaled. I will either order a new one or get a used 2021. Seems...

    2021 MY likely to be totaled

    I think I step in the accelerator instead of brake pulling into a parking lot and hit another car. insurance told me that it’s likely to be totaled. I tried to get an estimate of equivalent car ( I have about 5000 miles). how do account for the value of the FSD as most resale do not include FSD...

    2021 Model Y with FSD fair market value

    Looks like my 2021 MY with FSD will be totaled. Trying to get a fair market value to counter the insurance estimate. Have looked at all the used 2021 around, but FSD is not transferable And not included in the resales I am looking at. So the insurance company will go with that and I will lose...

    Model Y ride comfort?

    I have a Acura and bmw 330 before the Y. MY is by far is the stiffest drive. I took it to the SC and they claimed that it was normal. Some folks here are installing the UP coil at about 2.5k. I am considering it. Also I think the wind noise is a bit more than other cars. So you need to test...

    Noise reduction kit

    Can I get the UPP kit installed by a local mechanics? Will Tesla have an issue with it regarding warranty? I am definitely willing to pay as the current drive bothers me a bit. I guess I did not test drive it under the right conditions before buying it, but I still like everything except the...

    MY is a little rough at low speed on residential streets and noisy on highway.Brought to SC and they said it is normal. Maybe I am used to a BMW so MY is a bit rough. I really feel and hear every little bump. Enough to bother me a bit. I have the stock Continental tire and Gemini wheels. Can...

    Auto Park....working well

    I have had problem getting the P to pop up for auto park. So, today the Tesla technician told me that for Auto Park, you need 3 points: 2 on the sides and 1 on the back ( e.g. 2 cars with a space in between and a curve or a car in the back). Otherwise, the P won’t pop up. I tried that a couple...

    PPF question

    I just had my MY PPF wrap the front and mirrors. It looks great. Since the rockers are plastic, I decided not to do the lower part of the doors. Should I get them done both front and back doors for a few hundreds more?

    Wind and Road noise. How to mitigate?

    Can I just schedule a check with SC without test drive another MY? I am not close to a SC. Worst case they can check and OK it. They would not deny the problem if they think it has an issue, would they? also, I have a mobile service call next week, can I ask the technician to check it out? What...

    Wind and Road noise. How to mitigate?

    Not sure if this is normal or not, but my MY is fairly good at low speed, but road and wind noise is a little louder than what I am used to in a normal sedan ( my other car is Bmw series 3). How do I determine that this level of noise is normal? I read that the wind noise reduction kit is not...

    Parking in a tight garage

    Thank you. Backing in using the rear view camera and duck tape on the floor is the best. I tried the headin with the laser thing but I could not even see the laser on the hood. Plus backing up is so much easier to get your car straight as in my case with a side entrance garage. Now I just have...

    Parking in a tight garage

    So the first time I parked my brand new MY, I nicked the wheel. My garage is tight and I have to pull in at a small angle. I realized that with my old car, I can see the hood and the fenders to guide me whereas the MY I can’t gauge how much room I have for each side. I am ordering one of those...

    I got a schedule for delivery!

    Surface mount questions

    Thank you for all your responses. I decided that this has become more complicated for me and hired an electrician to do it. He was able to cut a couple of holes on my ceiling in the basement and feed the wire to exactly where we needed it. No exposed wire. Everything is inside the wall.

    Surface mount questions

    The location where I want to put the NEMA 15-40 outlet can only be done via surface mount since the cable run has to be done along the external wall inside the garage. By code, I need to use conduits. However, the 6 gauge cable is very rigid and I need to run it through several 90 degree elbows...
