    Stuck in traffic questions

    I can confirm. I was stuck in 115 F heat with a tire blown out during the summer on my way home from Vegas for 3.5 hours. The battery only dropped 3% with running A/C the entire time.

    Are there any radar detector mounts for the Model Y?

    Lol, I'll believe it when I see it. They've been saying this for over 2 years. I got the mount @wootness posted above. High quality and very well finished. Due to its' lower position, it seems to get delayed signals or lower than normal signals, but still very functional. My only concern is...

    Driving on a Patched/Plugged Tire

    Plug as everyone mentioned is considered temporary, but I installed one DIY and monitored pressure. It lasted the life of the tire. Important thing is to note where the puncture happened. If in the center belt, it is fixable, anything on the shoulders is considered replacement.

    Model Y DIY Xpel Ultimate PPF

    At this point, might as well go the painters tape route.

    My Y is leaking a small puddle

    Also to add, coolant typically is a blue or blue-green color. Clear, it's just water.

    Are there any radar detector mounts for the Model Y?

    Thanks for this, will try this out. Although, probably not a good idea in the event of a crash.

    Spare Tire Installed!

    I have AAA Premier, which allows for towing 100-200 miles (which came in handy). Tesla RA is much lower.

    Spare Tire Installed!

    This is true. I had the same mentality since I have AAA. Tire blew out in the middle of the desert in the summer (115F). I was stuck there for 3.5 hours waiting for a tow. I now throw in a modern spare on long road trips.

    Phone key suddenly no longer paired?

    I waited a week until I came to the realization that it wasn't going to fix itself and got annoyed from using the card key.

    Loud Metallic Click Sound

    Had the same issue and they lubed up my axle and it was resolved for the most part.

    Phone key suddenly no longer paired?

    This happened to me on my last car update. Car didn't see the phone, phone can see the car. I had to delete the phone key and re-install it on the app. After that I've had no issues since.

    Trunk 12v Plug Not Powering On After Sleep

    This will be my next step if I get annoyed enough. I've run the cables so they are hidden under the headliner and panels, so testing this would be a chore.

    Trunk 12v Plug Not Powering On After Sleep

    I have a dashcam running to a Cellink Neo external LiFePO battery which is plugged into the rear trunk 12v. It used to work seamlessly in which I just set it and forget it and the Cellink charges/discharges automatically when driving. Lately, the 12v doesn't turn back on after the car wakes up...

    My Foray Into Waterless Washing

    I use rinseless washing all the time. I used to be a pressure washer, foam cannon, 3 bucket wash, DI rinse, blow dry car wash guy. Taking 1.5 hours to wash a car is very daunting. I finally gave in to ONR as everyone praises it and although it's very strange, it works really well and I'm a...

    Battery degradation

    I have a commute similar to yours and have about 45K miles on my MYP. My max charge has dropped to 253 miles.

    Driving in HOV lane without sticker

    These stickers aren't about driving a clean car. It's a bribe paid to the government to allow you the privilege to break their laws without penalty for a period of time.

    Blog Musk Says He Wants the Roadster to Hover

    I imagine that he will equip it with some sort of magnetic suspension which will make it "hover" but not like what people are thinking...as of yet.

    Blog Tesla Cars to Sound Pedestrian Warning With ‘Snake Jazz’

    For whatever reason, sentry and dashcam doesn't overwrite old data and forces the user to reformat once it is getting full. If everything were on one drive, it would reformat all three folders each time.

    Redundant updates?

    I've had 3 updates in the last month and when checking the summary when you first get in, it has been the same Messaging and Trax update every time. Anyone having this issue? Sorry, I don't have the update versions for each time. Currently on 2020.48.12.1

    Service on MY gave me a M3. It’s been 14 days..

    They just charged their Tesla corporate account. No money out of my pocket. They just needed my credit card for a deposit.

    Yeah, I was given a Ford Explorer from Enterprise on my last loaner. Loved the space.

    General "Should I Wait for Upgrades" Thread

    The logic is still good. There are people that don't understand the basics of credit card usage and savings. That logic is a good guideline for those who don't understand. Just because you can "afford it", doesn't mean you should.

    Radar detector

    I've been using a Uniden R7. Not 100%, but use with Waze and you should be covered.

    Paint scratches, does the Tesla SC do body work?

    Very much this. Most likely surface scratches that can be polished. I highly doubt dogs nails would get to bare metal.

    Dented hood and Paintless Dent Removal?

    UPDATE: I just wanted to update that I just got my car back from service and it was indeed the hood latch that needed adjusting. They adjusted the hood latch and it relieved the pressure on the hood. I don't see the ripples anymore.

    Emblem replacement- Color options for Model Y PUP MSM w/ Xpel Stealth PPF

    I went with the abstract ocean emblem. They only offer the red line though. I'm sure you can custom paint it yourself relatively easily if you have a very steady hand. Dual Motor Emblem

    Doesn't appear to be latch related. Still there when opening and closing the hood.

    Dented hood and Paintless Dent Removal?

    Taking off my front emblem I noticed my hood was dented to the left of the emblem. It could be worse, but at the right angle and light, you can see the slight ripple on the hood and it annoys me. Not sure how, could have been my fault from me heating the hood, or one of the times closing the...

    You could argue it is a safety issue. You can't leave your dog in the car due to dog mode not properly cooling, etc.

    Model Y extended warranty and pre-pay service plans?

    I have GEICO and they have something called mechanical breakdown insurance (MBI). I think its 7 years/100k ( This is an exclusionary policy much like the famous Carmax Maxcare policy that launched Doug Demuro to fame. It's cheap, ~$30 every 6 months. The caveat is that you have to have it on...

    First car wash problem

    If you open both the driver's side door and the rear driver's door, look at the hinge of the rear passenger side door where the wire loom connects to the body halfway up the b pillar. I just pushed it in and it clicked and was secure again.

    Thoughts about getting either M3+MY or two MY?

    If you want the best of both worlds get a M3P and a MY LR.

    What floor jack to use with pucks?

    I always highly recommend QuickJacks, as they're extremely safe. They're not cheap but they offer 2 feet of clearance to work under your car. I realize it's pretty much a moot point for these cars as there isn't really anything to work on under the car, but these things are solid.

    First car wash problem

    I'm glad to be finally a part of the family and took delivery of my MYP two weeks ago. Put 1000 miles on it and loving it. I didn't suffer from a ton of quality issues as highly publicized on the internet but this did happen to me while washing it for the first time. I’m going to need...
