My wife got tired of me draping the charging cord over her Model Y, so I devised this overhead charging solution. I wanted the get the "EV Hover" product but they discontinued the 9' version and the 6' version they sell is too short for my needs. So I devised my own. The arm is a dock light...

I am posting this solution to hopefully benefit others. Ever since I received my M3LR, I have had noise in the passenger front door and, more recently, both rear doors (never the driver's side front door). I would describe it as a leather on leather rubbing noise. It has really made me crazy...

i just downloaded v. 2022.16.1.1 and the release notes state the following: "Your vehicle can now automatically apply regular brakes for consistent deceleration when regenerative braking is limited due to battery temperature or state of charge. To enable, tap Controls > Pedals & Steering >...

We were coming home last night on a fairly short trip - about 150 miles. We started at 30% SOC and I knew we would not have enough charge to complete the trip. I entered our final destination into the Nav and the car routed us to a Supercharger (150KwH) along the route as I expected it would...

So I picked up my Model 3 a few weeks ago and logged into Spotify on the car and it worked as expected. Yesterday I noticed I was logged out and tried to log back in, but I just keep getting an error message saying "Unable to log in. Please try again later." When I click on the "Sign In"...

I picked up our Model 3 LR on February 18th. The car has version 2021.43.102 installed and no upgrades have been pushed to the car since I took delivery. Our Model Y has had version 2022.4.5 for a few months, so I wonder why we have not received the updated version. Am I just being impatient...

Has anyone figured out a way to have the car reliably recognize the correct driver profile when you enter the car? My wife and I share our car and I am about 7" taller than she. If she was the last to drive the car and I get in (by myself), the car will often go from "Easy Entry" to her...

When parked at home I am having trouble sending commands from my iPhone to the car (MY). The car is in a detached garage about 50' from the house and the Tesla app does show under "Security" that my phone is connected to the car. However, when I send a command from the Tesla app it usually...

I am very relieved to have fixed the rattling noise that comes from the seat buckles on the two rear outside seats. When the seat belts are not buckled, the buckles sit between the seat and the plastic side of the car and rattle against the side whenever going over a bump. It drove me crazy...

Dare I say it? I just took my MY out for a drive in the rain with the wipers in "Auto" and I did not have to press the stalk or change the setting once!! I don't think it was perfect, but I could live with it. Anyone else tested wipers in Auto with V.11. How about auto high beams?

Mine is 4:01.

Now that cold weather is upon us we like to pre-heat the car in the morning. Problem is the the car does not easily wake up in the morning from the app. I see that my phone is connected to the car via bluetooth, but the car still does not respond to commands from the app. After a search i see...

We have a second home and I would like the car not to lock at this location as well as our primary home. Any way to do that? Thanks.

My wife backed into the fence that runs along our driveway and created the damage to the driver's side rear bumper, etc. as shown in the attached picture. The first quote I received for repairs is nearly $5k?!. The parking sensor just was knocked in and works fine. Any suggestions for body...

Anyone have an iPhone Mini and the second generation center console? Does the phone charge in the console as is or do you need to prop it up a little for it to charge correctly? I have read that it does not charge without moving it up a little on the charging pad, but that may just be for the...

I just noticed this spot on my windshield. I have tried everything to get it off - including a razor blade, but nothing works. Anyone have a clue as to what this and how to get it off? There is another similar spot as well.

We want to get a second EV. We drove the Model 3 and think it is too small and low. The X and S are not the right cars for us. Genesis just released some details and photos of their new "GV60" and it seems really nice. I expect it will have a slightly higher price than the Y, but I like what...

I have had my Y for about three months, but last night (for the first time) I noticed a strange feel in the steering. Going around gradual turns on the Interstate (80MPH ish), it seemed like the car was in ruts or wanted to follow its own line around the turns and I had to lightly steer out of...

So I agonized for weeks on the best setup for charging at 240v in my garage. Here is the bottom line: if you plan on using just the Mobile Connector that came with the car (no wall connector), then all you need is 8 gauge wire, a 40amp breaker and a NEMA 14-50 outlet and the Tesla NEMA 14-50...

My wife and I find the MY seats too hot and sticky in humid weather, so I purchased a set of the Coverking Spacer Mesh seat covers. Install was okay, but their video does not help much. Too soon to tell if we like them. I do notice the cover does not stay in place against the outside of the...

Anyone have an idea on how to clean the headliner without leaving a moisture ring (see picture). I have tried CarGuys Super Cleaner and Hi-Tech Extra Foamy as both were recommended, but I still get the stain. Anyone have a better idea? Thanks.

I replaced the 19" Continental tires on my brand new Model Y LR (Gemini 19") and am now selling the tires which have less than 500 miles on them. I will sell one for $175 and the set of four for $600. Given they have less than 500 miles on them, they are in perfect condition. Local pick-up in...

I noticed today that the closest Supercharger to me (Paramus) does not show up in the Tesla app when it lists the "Nearby Superchargers." Any idea why that is? My only guess is that the stalls are all full, but I would still like to see that information.

If you were wondering whether you could use this Jowua mount for a radar detector, the answer is yes. I mounted it on the back of the screen in a different place than they specify, but it works well and there is a hole in the articulating arm that holds the power cord in place. When not in use...

Just picked up our Y today, but I notice my iPhone does not charge well in the wireless charger. Anyone have a suggestion for a case that works for iPhone X? Thanks.

So I am 4 hours out of town and my whole rear window gotten broken (my fault). I will have to remove the entire window and try to patch it temporarily. Any chance this would work for a 4 hour drive or do I need to get it flatbeded home and rent a car.

Is it true that without FSD autopilot disengages every time I change lanes regardless of whether I use the turn signal and I have to Re engage it once I am in the new lane? If so, I don’t like that.

I am very interested in a Model Y, but Autopilot is very important to me as I use a similar feature on our Palisade all the time. However, I want a car with a system that is reliable (as is the Palisade system). It appears Tesla still has not solved the phantom braking issue?

Well, I was ready to dismiss Ford's effort at an EV, but after reading/viewing all the reviews the last few days, I have to say I am impressed with the Mach-e. For those of you considering a Model Y (as I am), I think you have to consider the Mach-e as well. I will not go into the pros and...

I have not seen a poll like this in a while, so thought it might be useful to get input on how owner's perceive the quality of their Model Ys. Seems like many are very happy, but this forum gives the impression that there are many issues and problems, which is to be expected of a car forum. To...

During my recent drive of a (rented) Model Y at night I had two oncoming cars flash their high beams at me even though I did not have the high beams on. I have read that others have noticed this as well. Just curious if this is a common problem with the Model Y. I see that they can be adjusted.

Currently I have a 120v 20amp line running from our house to a detached garage through a 3/4" conduit that is about 60-70' in length. The distance from the panel to where the conduit leaves the house is about 50' through a drop ceiling in the basement. I had an electrician come by today and...

New to the forum and my first post. Most of the following is old news to most of you, but I thought some might be interested in my review of the Model Y. I sent this as an e-mail to a group of friends and just pasted it here. As you guys are all passionate about cars, I thought I would...
