@Brian : Your's is a sensible data based response. I do not understand the folks who say - "It works for me so it must work for everyone" and neither do I understand "Its completely garbage". Data shows that people end up with issues while others are sufficiently happy. I am in the Seattle area...

Here are the issues I have noted in "FSD" so far. (To clarify I mean the setting a destination and letting the vehicle drive itself while reminding me to keep my hands on the wheel regularly). Localization errors - When I hit the freeway after the ramp next to my place there is an interchange...

That is pretty lame and is terrible training for customer service. Hopefully they improve this. I hope you at least got a loaner ?

I put on winter tires (Sottozero 3 Audi Spec as Tesla spec was unavailable right away in 20in) and did a few drives. 1, The usual 104 mile 3000 ft elevation gain round trip drive at a "spirited" pace - I pretty much drove to stay "ahead of the traffic". AP set to 85mph and average speed of...

To pile on :) : I think it will be worthwhile to have regional range stats as there are multiple factors at play. All other things being equal, on long trips you should see a significant change in efficiency with relative speed. I think over ~ 60mph, the primary factor is wind resistance (which...

@Rocky_H and @jcanoe - thank you for the details. To summarize, the sticker lists the power consumed from the wall to go 100 miles. The information it's trying to supply is how expensive it is to drive a given distance from a power perspective given EPA conditions. OTOH, it looks like the...

so 326*0.27 implies a 88kWh battery pack. The rated efficiency in the built in energy meter is 240kWh/mile which at 326*0.24 implies ~78kWh battery pack. So I wonder which of the rating is the accurate one and which battery capacity is the correct one ? I am definitely missing something :)

Folks, I just happened to look the window sticker of my Y and noticed the following : 125MPGe combined / 131 city and 117 highway 27 kW-hr / 100 miles and a range of 326 miles. Is this saying 326 miles at a rate of 27 kW-hr / 100 miles ? I am assuming that they are logically related, but...

I am using Teslamate for my logging on a private server. So I \ am not calibrated with APRB in any way. But FWIW, I did a few runs last week consistently to get a better idea. Here are my stats : Longer trips : 100+ miles, 95%+ highway, : Starting Temp : 42 - 52 F, Elevation : 3000 ft gain...

Folks, I am trying to get an estimate of what wh/mi folks are getting in the the Seattle area in the PNW this spring. Would love to hear from folks around the area. I understand that there are a lot of factors that affect range besides the weather, but I am hoping that we can get a fair idea if...

Thanks for posting these. These will be my next tires based on your review :). I also noticed that Tesla finally has chain recos for the 19 and 20in. So these tires plus the chains should be a reasonable solution.

This is great to hear. Please let me know how the snow drive goes - these are probably my #1 replacement tire candidates at this point.

I am glad that you mentioned the Wintrac's as I had never heard about them before getting the Y. Please give us an update after you put them on and try them out. I used to run the Blizzak WS80/90s before for the exact reasons you mention, but cannot find them in the Y size. The few reviews I...

This is very educational - thanks for posting. It is indeed laminated rather than double pane. In fact its super easy to see the "sandwich". The rear is indeed just tempered glass - would have been great to have them all around from what you describe as the benefits.

Picked up our VIN# 66xxx. Asked the SA at the shop whether it had the upgrades and he was not sure. I did find double paned glass upfront and the updated door release buttons. Given that the SA did not know about the upgrades, I doubt there will be retroactive updates? Vehicle noise : I do hear...
