    Engineering Explained: How To Ruin Your Electric Car's Battery - 3 Common Mistakes

    I watched this video. My take aways: 1. Avoid storing an EV at high temperatures and high state of charge. If you have to store an EV at high temperatures, keep the battery at 30%. High temperatures degrade a battery more quickly. I don't recall what he meant by high temperatures. I assume it...

    My vehicle: 2021 Tesla Model Y. Current mileage as of December 15, 2023: 14,245. Average miles per year: 4,748. Average miles per day: 39. I average one road trip a year of about 1,600 miles. Maybe three trips a year of 120 miles each on a freeway. When not in use, my car is plugged in to my...

    Flat tire experience - broken valve core

    A week ago, as I was checking the tire inflation on my 2021 Model Y, one of the valve cores broke. The tire instantly deflated. Fortunately the car was parked in my driveway. I didn't know what to do because this was the first time a valve core broke on any of the vehicles I've ever owned or...

    EV-specific tires

    Yesterday, after 11,745 miles, I replaced the four Continental tires that came with my 2021 Model Y (that had already worn down to 4/32" tread depth) with four Goodyear ElectricDrive GT. I had this done at Discount Tire as they had a sale with $110 off for a set of four, plus a $70 discount for...

    Missing Monroney sticker

    On February 13, 2021, I took delivery of a Tesla Model Y. I did not notice it at the time, but there was no Monroney sticker on the vehicle, and none was ever furnished to me. According to Wikipedia, "The Monroney sticker is required to be affixed to the side window or windshield of every...

    Topcoat on windows part of ceramic coat package?

    I am planning to have a ceramic coating applied to my 2021 Model Y. A local detailer's website says, as part of their ceramic coat package, they will apply a layer of topcoat on all windows. I'm not opposed to this, unless this is not a good idea. Now, I have read somewhere, perhaps on this...

    Tesla app - where do I add credit card?

    I took delivery of my first Tesla, a Model Y, three days ago. Since I used someone’s referral code, I received 1000 miles of free supercharging. However, knowing that eventually those miles will be used up, I would like to add a credit card to my Tesla account in order to pay for supercharging...

    Model Y HEPA filter and heated steering wheel?

    I could probably do without the HEPA filter. That feature is not critical to me. For me, the important things are the new center console, the heated steering wheel, and the new headlights. Please inform us in this thread what, if any, of the new features are in your vehicle.
