Tesla finally upgraded and released a new Tire repair kit available through your Tesla account.

According to this article, the LR Y has now dropped low enough to get both provincial and federal rebates which comes to $12,000 in Quebec. Car ends up costing 42,000 CAD + taxes (31,000 USD) Guess they are trying to get the ball rolling on Y sales with many waiting for the Juniper like myself...

If you do not confirm the EPA range changes made on an existing order, Tesla will automatically cancel your order after a certain date which varies. See Here

Can't seem to find any after market cabin filters for my Refresh 2022 MS. Anyone have a link to one that fits?

On the MS the wipers always default to off or manual on if you prefer after the car is shut down. Set them to auto and they work fine for as long as the car is driven. A few days later if it's raining, I need manually select the wiper function and change it from off to auto even though thats how...

It has started. Guess these will be quite popular. Montreal's A2Z EV develops first NACS adapter

Had the strangest thing happen to me yesterday. On our way to a restaurant there was a large pop sound and then what sounded like a jet engine at very high volume through the speakers. Nothing I tried would turn it off or down, rolled down the window a bit and it stopped! Rolled the window up...

This sounds pretty nice, especially if there is any truth to this coming out in the next few months. New battery tech

Getting rid of the 12v low voltage architecture and moving to 48v. Tesla Confirms The Switch To 48 Volt System

From what I have read so far the newer cars equipped with a low voltage lithium battery will not boost from a standard 12v booster pack simply because the voltage is too low. The Tesla lithium consists of a 4S setup which is around 16.4v. There is a little more to it however after all the...

These new Flo Ultra 350kw charge stations really look promising as long as you have a CCS adapter. Really well designed IMHO.

Anyone who lives in cold weather climates knows EVs take a rather large hit in winter. I know I have found our MS to be really good in comparison to our Y in the cold. This confirms my thoughts.

My wife has been complaining about the poor wiper/washer performance on our late 2020 model Y being it is winter and the roads are really wet/dirty. Problem is the washer fluid is lacking on the lower drivers side portion. Came across this article which shows they did address this issue in 2021...

I cannot believe it took me over 2 years to figure this out. Kind of embarrassing but thought I should post this because I cannot be the only one using it the wrong way. I plug in almost every day and sometimes multiple times each day so lets just say the wall connector sees a lot of use having...

According to leaked info for the upcoming Christmas update, the Y and the 3 are supposed to get automatic flasher cancel. This very practical on the MS which has no stalks. The auto cancel works extremely well by the way which stays on until the lane change is complete meaning it may be on for 8...

Happened upon this article which reads anyone with FSD can now try beta without safety scores. I can confirm the option is on the autopilot screen on both my cars. Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to all owners in North America

Was installing my power frunk when I can across the AC intake. Looked like a good candidate for a pre-filter like I added to our Y which by the way works amazingly well. Not meant to remove anything minor but will keep the bigger stuff from clogging up the hepa and cabin filters as they both...

Sure sounds like Tesla's charging standard (hardware) is the one to beat after reading how robust it is. Tesla Announces The Opening Of Its Proprietary Charging Standard

I got this update some time ago on the Y where the car actually uses the brakes as opposed to little or no regenerative braking when battery is charged too much or temps are too cold. It is so seamless you would never know what is doing what. Has anyone received this on an update of the S yet? I...

Has there been any updates on this yet. Had a little one in the rear seat last week and he was watching you tube as we travelled. Quite annoying having to listen to this on the car speaker system. Is there anything out there such as headphone that can be connected?

Not the prettiest but could be a great alternative for many, especially those on 100a service assuming the feed line is adequate. https://news.google.com/articles/CAIiECasNqfjWGrZwrRY1Y_wBMMqGQgEKhAIACoHCAowsciUCzCQkKoDMP7TxwY?uo=CAUiANIBAA&hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen

Have a convenient outlet in trunk of the Y which is factory for my portable fridge/freezer however the S seems to lack an outlet in the trunk unless I somehow missed it. That being said has anyone installed one on a refresh model S? Are there any easy to access 12v wires in the rear I could...

I have been using Tuxmats for many years on many vehicles and can honestly say nothing fits as well or offers the protection a Tuxmat does. I finally received mine last week since they were not produced yet however they are finally available. Put in the drivers side just to make sure everything...

Seems like this guy had to bust out the window of his Y to exit as he claims the door and windows would not work which would be normal with a catastrophic failure of the main battery. What they fail to mention is he never even thought of using the mechanical release just below the electronic...

Here is the latest news on letting CCS cars charge at SC stations. Elon Musk Confirms CCS1 Plugs Coming To US Superchargers Then again an Elon promise may take several years to implement. 😏 Once this is open, expect to finally see the release of the CCS1 Tesla adapter in North America.

After driving the S for a few months and putting the 20" induction wheels back on the Y, I find the ride a bit too harsh as several comment about. The Y is used by my wife 90% of the time and definitely no performance going on. She is in chill all the time. There is quite a difference from my...

Looks like they have activated the tilt screen on deliveries since April 29th according to this article. Tilt Screen

What a dumb design. As you can see they are about 1/2" off the ground so every small dip you wear them out with an accompanying scraping sound. Notice how they are just under the car and do not prevent crud from being thrown back by the wheel higher up. The wheel sticks out farther than the well...

My cruise control (autopilot) has been out for some time now. Keep getting not available and reduced radar visibility warnings when I try to activate it. Do have a service appointment on the 28th but just putting feelers out if other have had this issue on the 2021+ refresh.

Tesla has an offbeat size on the 2021+ refresh model S with the 19" wheel option leaving hardly any choice as tire OD needs to be spot on between the front and rear to avoid damage to the drive train/computer freaking out. This is common to all AWD cars with staggered wheels as I found out on my...

Looks like we may see the CCS1 adapter soon as Tesla has now added a CCS retrofit kit to their parts catalog. CCS retrofit kit for Model 3/Y appears in Tesla Parts Catalog

Is a 2021 Model S automatically the refresh with yoke or were there non yoke 2021's available in late 2020? Just a little confusing sometimes when talking about a 2021.

Odd occurrence this morning. Gen3 wall connector, steady green light showing everything is normal. Connected to wifi with lastest software/firmware. Plugged it into the S, hear the click yet stays blue and shows charging complete on main screen and app even though it is at 51%. Plugged in the Y...

The radio control on the main screen is always visible in the lower left hand corner, is this normal? On the Y you can just swipe it down which removes it completely however on the S it just sits there and I cannot figure out how to remove it. Cannot see the point in having this there all the...

It is getting rather confusing mixing old and new Model S car in the same area. I have been on many forums and they always set up a year specific section when a complete make over is released. No the refresh is not a complete makeover however nothing fits or is the same with the earlier versions...

Our cleaning lady came by this morning and brought me a Xmas Gift. Her daughter makes all kinds of imprints on shirts so it's a one of a kind. She knew I loved my model Y but had no clue I got a new Model S December 28th in white. The wording is perfect and so very true.

With the release of the CCS1 adapter in Taiwan and now working in the the US with a recent software update, how will this fit on the Model S. Just the way it is made will not work with the mini door on the S. We do know the design is passive so basically just an adaptor however I would think a...

On my Model Y when activating the seat fold buttons from the trunk the seats fold/flop down on their own. The S just clicks and unlocks however the seats remain in their vertical position. I assume they should fold other wise whats the point of having the button in the rear if you need to go the...

Pretty Cool.

Do all the refreshed (yoke) Model S cars come with gloss black trim? Handles, cameras, etc. Just curious as my Model Y came with matte black trim and assumed the S would be the same. Don't get me wrong, I like it, fits perfectly with my winter wheel set up in gloss black. :cool: Just curious if...

Well things did not go as they should. Car was delivered a few days ago in perfect condition however the message "air suspension adjustment is not available, car may not be level" came up after only 20 kms or so along with a small red icon indicating a suspension error. Went into the setting...

Perfect for those on 19" wheels. Goodyear introduces its first replacement tire in North America

I keep reading about problems with phantom braking however in over a year of ownership, and 24,000km I have never experienced it yet. I realize one hears about problems on a forum as opposed to no problems but how wide spread is it. Are there only a hundred vehicles or so that have this problem...

When I install my bike rack the warnings come up as if there is something close to the rear of the car. Is there a "Bike Rack Mode"? Would be nice to be able to turn off the rear sensors. I know you can put it in trailer mode and the warning will go away however one does forfeit autopilot when...

You would think something as easy as finding the correct tire size is simple. Not sure if they are staggered or not but seem to think they are not and the correct size all around is P245/45R19. Can someone confirm this is correct as I want to order winter tires.

Use to be I could say "call Joe mobile" and it would call the cell phone of Joe like it should do and the way siri works also. Now I get, Joe and then a list of mobile, work or home which I need to choose from. The only number I can call without further intervention is if that person has only...

Washed the car today quickly with water only, opened the doors to do the sill and OH MY! What a color difference. Car has mostly been garaged it entire life, when I go to the office it sits under a car port. I wash the car using only a soft brush and a bit of car wash soap (Meguirs). I have been...

Looks like the latest update removes Boombox and other stuff due to regulations unless you live in Hong Kong. Or am I reding this wrong and it's the other way around? 2021.12.25.6 Official Tesla Release Notes - Tesla Software Updates

Ok, so maybe they call it. Bioweapon Defense Mode :D See here. US-Made Tesla Model Y Now Comes With Bioweapon Defense Mode

Sure looks like it. Musk Confirms Plaid UI Coming To Model 3/Y With FSD Wide Release
