    Alert warning: "Vehicle may not restart. Service is required" Code BMS_a035. "Electrical ...."

    I got this same problem a couple of weeks ago with my Model Y. I scheduled a service appointment for today. Work order shows the BMS_a035 issue but also the replacement of refrigerant temperature and pressure sensors, is that a recall item?

    Paint Damage

    I had the OEM front mud flaps on for the last couple of months of winter, actually purchasing them took some time because of supply issues. I guess my biggest problem is that for a 60K car I would expect better paint and a better underfloor design that eliminates this kind of thing.

    Paint Damage

    I bought my MY in October. In December, having read a bunch of posts about PPF, I bought the Tesla kit for the rear door. Unfortunately by the time I got it we were in deepest winter and it was too cold to apply. Finally got back to the car this week, cleaned off the winter grime and found this...

    Phone key issues

    I have had this happen a couple of times. I have had the car since October and hadn't had a problem until about a month ago. A couple of months ago I upgraded my phone from iPhone X to iPhone 12. I got it set up so the new phone worked but there have been two instances where the car would not...

    Album Art When Using Sirius on my Phone

    I stream Sirius via bluetooth from my phone. If I look on my phone the SXM App shows the Album Art for the currently playing track, but when I look on the screen in the MY I mostly see the channel logo. There are a few times when Album Art shows up but it usually for the previous track, not the...

    Weirdness with AP/Nav after single lane use...

    I had an issue driving on I95 in Virginia heading into DC where is an express road that goes between the north and southbound lanes. This express lane is bidirectional, northbound in the mornings and southbound in the evenings. I was using route guidance and traffic aware cruise control. Both...

    Poor Defroster Performance

    Agree the options are limited. If everything was directed up at the windscreen and not into the rest of the cabin it would be better.

    Poor Defroster Performance

    It wasn't a problem when I set out. Lots of elevation changes where I live so the weather changes a lot in just a few miles. It really wasn't that heavy, a very light misting. Bunch of other cars on the road. No one else seemed to have the same issue that I did.

    Nitrogen Question?

    A dealer asked me if I wanted to put nitrogen into my tires. Without thinking about it I said 'yes' and got about $100 added to the bill. Not worth it unless its free.

    Poor Defroster Performance

    On a hour-long drive earlier today. Temp 20F and a fine mist of freezing rain / low cloud. I had warmed the car up before setting off (cabin temp 68F), but about 10 minutes into the drive, with the defroster on its first setting (blue) the windscreen started to ice up, wipers were running...

    How are your AWD Ys handling the winter snow?

    MY LR with 19" factory installed Conti's. I've been reasonably happy with handling on packed snow and ice. I would say it is comparable with my old X1 and 3 Series with X-Drive and all season run flats. There is some slippage but you don't feel out of control. I also have not been impressed...

    Farasla car cover for Model Y

    I have it. Its a very snug fit. Bordering on too snug, especially around the mirrors. Seems to be good quality.

    Automatic Headlights

    I noticed that the automatic main beam does not activate at low speeds. It seems that, after being at a stand still, the car has to be going at least 26 mph before the main beam activates. It seems to me that it would be better if this was a % of speed limit on the road rather than an absolute...

    Insurance for Model Y

    I replaced a 2015 BMW X1 with a 2021 MY LR. I have $1000 deductible on Liberty Mutual and my annual premium went up by $200.

    Car Cover

    Thanks! That looks like a reasonable option, and is much cheaper I hadn't considered that. I actually live in the woods underneath mature oaks and hemlocks that have caused issues with paint in the past with sap, small branches etc. Even a cover isn't going to protect the car completely, I had...

    Car Cover

    Has anyone purchased / used the outdoor car cover available on the Tesla website? Looking for recommendations for that cover and any alternatives available from other vendors. I'm in an area that gets a lot of snow over winter and have to park the car outside.

    Modern Spare for Model Y

    My last 3 cars haven't come with a spare. 2 BMWs with run-flats and a Porsche Boxster with regular tires. It bothered me for a bit but now Im ok with the idea of not having a spare. I had a problem with the Porsche (not a flat) and their roadside assistance was with me within an hour. I've had...

    AWD Comparison

    I live in the Alleghenys in central PA where we do get a lot of snow and many days where the temperature is below freezing. My last 2 cars were BMWs with X-Drive, running all-season run-flats. I never had a problem with this set up. The car always felt stable and I had a lot of confidence in it...
