    Would you Purchase a model Y Again?

    We just upgraded our 2020 MY for a 2024. I must say the car is so much quieter and the suspension is night and day in comparison. You need to go test drive a 2024, not sure what was done but it is not the same car as a 2020.

    Can't get in car. Neither app, nor key card working.

    A voltage reading means nothing if there is no amperage. I have had the same experience in the past and it would not even light up a small automotive bulb connected directly to it.

    Majesty 9 Solus TA91 EV tires

    Mine is made in USA, Fremont to be exact. Produced June 1st of this year, brand spankin new. Point is they seem to have switched over to the Kumho EV tire in the US.

    Majesty 9 Solus TA91 EV tires

    Picked up our MYLR a few days ago. Fremont built on June 1. Came with Majesty 9 Solus TA91 EV which are comfortable and quiet but with so little miles on her hard to say much. These must be something new Tesla is using as a little research shows Kumho just released these in April of this year...

    Heads up display stopped working after last software update

    Any third party app is a crap shoot. No matter what you buy, one day after an update just like this thread discussion, it will no longer work and either the third party will eventually fix it, cannot fix it or just leaves the scene. I purchased a lifetime subscription for Valet for Tesla which...

    Can't get in car. Neither app, nor key card working.

    I am pretty confident that your 12v battery is done. Car is not covered under warranty any more or maybe I should say the 12v battery is not covered. You can easily get into the car by following the procedure to jump it by connecting 12v to the terminals behind the tow plug on the front bumper...

    The "End of Quarter" Waiting Room / Buying Guide

    Well I bit the bullet, was waiting patiently for Juniper but being Elon allows FSD transfers once again plus we still have $5000 federal rebate and 7000 provincial that adds up to $23,000 in rebates. (This is in Quebec, Canada) We went for a test drive in a 2024 MY and must say it is not...

    Why you should skip the powered frunk and grab a Satonic soft close frunk

    I believe that is a great idea plus smear some silione around the mating section of the casing to help improve on their seal. You may also want to inject some grease into the boot where the cable enters to help seal the opening to keep that boot facing downward to prevent water ingress.

    Why you should skip the powered frunk and grab a Satonic soft close frunk

    They should have used conformal coating on the board as in marine applications and pay very close attention to sealing the unit. I would have run some silicone around the casing split and smeared it down. All it takes is a couple of drops of water which may even come from condensation to screw...

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    Pretty sure they do just like the MS. works just like heated seats and heated steering wheel, everything has an auto mode and must say it is great. Here is a screen shot in the app I just took after I turned on climate. As can be seen the car decided to turn on the ventilated seats to a medium...

    12v Trunk Outlet Refresh MS

    After some more searching I did find someone who did just that. Worked fine using his portable fridge like I want to do. Can't seem to find it though.

    12v Trunk Outlet Refresh MS

    Is there any easy way of installing a 12v outlet in the trunk of a 2022 MS? Reason I ask is I would like to take my 12v mini fridge with me once in a while however Tesla has no 12v outlet in the rear of the vehicle. Kinda a pita to plug in into the only outlet in the console. I could jump the...

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    All I can say is I have lived with no stalks for over 2 1/2 years. I would never go back, in fact I find it cumbersome and a step backwards when I drive our Y. No different than a keyless experience in a Tesla, amazing to say the least yet I am sure there are those that will argue a key or push...

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    How much does it cost Tesla to add a dual function switch to the steering wheel and another backup shift method/indicator not to mention the complexity of programming/incorporating the auto shift function into the vehicle. My guess is it maybe a wash at the end of the day.

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    According to this BMW forum you may not have polarized sunglasses after all. Polarized sunglasses and HUD

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    I have had HUD in 2 previous vehicles, never again. Why? I swear by polarized sunglasses and HUD disappears when using them. Ended up getting non polarized prescription glasses however never got used to HUD even after 4 year with it. You need to try it to realize it is not that great at all.

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    I can confirm UWB has no issue on our MS. Auto trunk works just fine.

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    I did not get the upgraded auto shift. Looked at the release notes on board and no sign of it. Guess it will come later for whatever reason.

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    If you back out of a parking space it is supposed to shift into forward as opposed to you doing so on the screen. As with anything new, it will only get better with time. Scroll down on this link until you find auto shift (beta)

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    Never use the brakes so maybe thats why. Will try later on today and get back on the results.

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    I may however I have backed out of a few places and turned the yoke however it has not shifted into forward like it should according to what I have read. I do have Auto Shift (beta) switched on. It is in its infancy so maybe not very reliable yet?

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    So I finally got 2024.14.9 last evening. Must say the UWB for detection is far superior than bluetooth. No need to sometimes pull the phone out of my back pocket any more. The auto trunk works really well also. Just a little disappointed I did not get the improved auto shift just yet but must...

    OEM HEPA filters done after 1~ year?

    Not sure how the new filter contamination gauge works however the is only 1 way to determine this and that would be through airflow differential taken before and after filtration. Tesla seems to have done something that may measure blower power draw however that would be a rough estimate at best...

    When to Replace 12v?

    I believe any group size 51R is the correct replacement battery. I would stick with flooded as charging parameters vary with other variations. Although the charging parameters are only very small, it would be wise the not confuse your Tesla. ;)

    MY 2024/2025 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    So what does one do? At one point Juniper will come out and they will fetch a premium, the outgoing model will be deeply discounted to clear existing stock. Cannot see how this summer or some time in 2025 will make a difference. I believe the sooner this happens the more cars Tesla will sell...

    what PSI do you inflate your tires to

    If this was the case then we would all have center wear which is indicative of an over inflated tire. Car is heavy, needs more pressure, simple physics.

    Would you Purchase a model Y Again?

    Not the present MY however if the improvements on the Highland are brought over to Juniper then a definite Yes. Number one reason is the suspension, no issues with the MS and would by again.

    Model Y Reverse UFO Sound Change/Disable

    It's only a "legal requirement" if your car was produced after Sept of 2020. Just disconnect the speaker wire and claim it must have come loose after hitting a pot hole. You have a better chance of being hit and killed by falling space debris than getting into litigation regarding a non...

    Model Y Reverse UFO Sound Change/Disable

    Not sure the date on the above is correct as our late build 2020 model Y has no built-in reverse sound. It did become standard not long thereafter though.

    Installer recommends an electric garage heater. Is it necessary? I’m in the Chicago land area

    Seeing all the negative answers here I guess it has a lot to do where you live. You cannot build a home here that does not have an insulated and heated garage complete with drain and water. let me reword that, you can but nobody would. Even a used home from way back would be difficult to find...

    Installer recommends an electric garage heater. Is it necessary? I’m in the Chicago land area

    Not required but sure is nice. We keep our garage at around 60f. Cars are always toasty during the cold winter months and the battery is also. If your garage is well insulated, why not? At least you have the option and you decide if you want it on or off. I have a 24 x 24 garage with 12'...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    Not on both our MY and MS. Just tried the close button inside the frunk on both and they both work fine. The remote app buttons also opens and closes the frunk as well as the visual indicator showing them in the correct open or closed positions. I do have the latest and greatest firmware...

    Closing of Hood Resulting in Damage?

    I put in an auto frunk over 3 years ago on the Y and had one on order to install on the MS when I got it. The early models had some issues however those were mostly taken care of. The S has been perfect from day 1 until today which is going on 2 1/2 years. Was actually surprised Tesla did not...

    Is Elon thinking of REHIRING some of the fired SuperCharging folks

    I tell my people if they are ever faced with something they do not agree with tell the Supervisor/person in charge in no uncertain manner you do not agree with their decision and better yet if it is really bad then write a note saying so and have him sign it. 95% of the time the person will...

    Is Elon thinking of REHIRING some of the fired SuperCharging folks

    Nobody except Elon knows why this happened but I am sure his decision is warranted. As an employer I can tell you there is a tendency to go from a very productive unit/person to what I call driftwood as time passes. Sometimes its better to start fresh and put the excitement/performance back...

    MY 2024/2025 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    We are in the same boat as you with a low milage 2020 Y. Waiting for Juniper with a bunch of other people as well I must assume. I have a feeling that when the new Y does come out there will be a waiting list until they catch up with the orders. No big deal, no rush, perfectly good car and if...

    Model Y Plaid

    None of these badges mean anything anymore. Take Mercedes as an example, you can order AMG "Trim" and there are many of them out there. below is a snippet from Mercedes. Same deal with BMW by the way. Now take the new Highland M3P. Their is mention of Plaid and there are even plaid style...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Canada made active matrix headlights legal in 2018 however Tesla has not implemented the functionality them in Canada yet. The amber parking lights and turn signals are standard across the board on all Tesla cars since 2020 as this is an international standard with exception to the USA which can...

    Plaid center console light turns off when fully opened?

    Thanks for reminding me about this. When I first got the 2022 MS it was late December 2021. Told them about the issue so they tried another car in the showroom which operated the same way therefore the answer was "this is how it functions, nothing wrong". Was not going to try to convince them as...

    Thoughts on Superchargers After a 2300 mile trip

    Carrying a CCS adapter is like carrying a spare tire. I have them in both our Teslas along with J1772 adapters. That being said, I have yet to use the CCS however one must consider there are more CCS stations than superchargers at this point in time. Kinda like saying one can only fill up at Exxon.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    When my daughter went to driving school to get her permit at 16 years of age, there was a parent day where a parent had to attend. We were told us old people did not know how to drive and need to listen to how we would show our child to be able to drive the proper way. One of the points that...

    Model S Front Seat Recline Partially Working

    Still no excuse for what happened to me as there is even on post dated Jan 22nd above which claims it worked fine back then. If Tesla does not understand it now works 3 month or more later, they definitely have a internal communication problem. Even if it is not reliable, they could have at...

    Model S Front Seat Recline Partially Working

    Thanks for this post as doing the self calibration fixed the issue on my MSLR. Problem was the seat back would not travel any farther forward than a rather relaxed rearward position. I contacted Tesla service to set up an appointment to which they responded with a mobile service appointment. A...
