    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Closing out this saga for me - mobile service tech came last week and replaced the passenger side campers under warranty. He insisted that this is indeed a warranty issue and the people who communicate via the service app are not well informed. In my case what forced the warranty claim was the...

    Model Y trunk storage with 3rd row

    It is hard to define usable but the removable shelf in that area measures 38x20. I have the MY7, highly recommend anyone doing so also consider purchasing a roof rack and box. I have a Thule XT XL and have a ton of space no matter what.

    Road Trip Experience + Roof Cargo Box Efficiency

    1. 58 was the total number of individual charges that got logged in Teslafi, but some of it was skewed due to a charger that kept going on and off. I would estimate that 75-85% of my juice for the trip came from Superchargers. 2+3 = Teslafi (DM me if you want a referral code)

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Mobile tech shows up today to replace the camera I successful got covered under warranty. Service center sent him the wrong camera (LH vs RH). 😡 He did install my Homelink so not a total waste. What I did find interesting was his insistence that this is absolutely a warranty issue and the...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    After a bit of back and forth and many photos sent, my cost estimate was updated to $0. I think the fact that it was only happening on one side couldn’t be argued as working as designed.

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Their latest response to me is that I may have a new camera on one side but not the other. My response to that is that is it tantamount to different brands of tires on the same axle and this alone constitutes a manufacturing issue. I have asked how I can escalate my warranty claim to a higher...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    I have the issue on only the passenger side, as previously shown. Today service got back to me with a less than desirable note about my upcoming appointment: "We found the blind spot camera performance on older vehicles is neither a defect of materials or workmanship. It is a characteristic of...

    Blocked pillar camera alerts

    This has occurred once for me since latest update and appeared to be moisture + sunlight related. I was able to clear the moisture by running heat on high for a few mins in my garage.

    Taking home a Christmas tree

    Thinking about a month ahead, wondering how I can easily bring back a 6-7’ Christmas tree on my Y. I have the factory rails but there are no tie downs. Anyone able to successfully do this last year? Or are some aftermarket tie downs available?

    Road Trip Experience + Roof Cargo Box Efficiency

    I had zero concerns going as fast as 85-90 during the 2500 mile trip. On 2 stops midway i was able to tighten the clamps a little but I don’t think it was necessary as there was no give. They are able to cross over to an extent on factory rails. Even the wind noise was not excessive.

    Road Trip Experience + Roof Cargo Box Efficiency

    For roof racks Thule specifically says not to put it backwards. I trust the manufacturer more than that youtuber. My efficiency hit was so minimal I wouldn’t try to void my warranty and do something potentially unsafe. Another consideration is that a hitch box may block your rear camera. It...

    Road Trip Experience + Roof Cargo Box Efficiency

    Yes, I considered it but was rejected for a couple of reasons: 1. Anecdotally have read that anything on the hitch hurts efficiency a LOT more than on the roof and I've noticed this a bit with my bikes 2. Avoid having to only use the pull in stalls during supercharging. 3. Ability to bring my...

    Pulled over for no front plate?

    Hard to pull anyone over for this because you'd have to see both sides of the car to confirm they are an in-state driver. Back in the day, I had a car registered in Iowa, I did not run front plates. I only got a ticket when I was also pulled over for my tints. A suspect eye doctor note got me...

    Charge Limit Exceeded

    I've noticed that since one of the more recent updates (past month), my MY LR charges slightly beyond whatever limit I have set, but it appears to be happening following the initial charge. For example, yesterday after a long road trip, I arrived at my house at 12% and set the limit to 80%. It...

    Winter tires for geminis

    Going to purchase a set of winter tires soon to mount on the Gemini rims. The two options I’m considering are the Pirelli Sottozero 3 and the Continental VikingContact 7. Tire rack ratings put Continental slightly higher and they are about 10% cheaper. However the speed rating is T vs V on the...

    Thule Roof Cargo Box Size?

    I had an awesome experience with the Thule Motion XT XL on the factory rails. At high speed 75-80mph) it reduced my efficiency by ~14%, which was not really even noticeable based on my planned stops. Wind noise noticeable but not too bad. It also kept the interior of the vehicle much cooler as...

    Road Trip Experience + Roof Cargo Box Efficiency

    My family and I just finished quite the road trip in our 2021 MY LR and wanted to share the experience and provide some more data on the efficiency impacts of a large roof cargo box. I welcome any questions. Tl;dr:Absolutely bulletproof over 2500 miles on a trip from Pittsburgh to Cape Cod to...

    Model Y Mattress personal experiences

    I have a Tesmat. My wife and I used it while camping in the MY for 1 night so far. It was comfortable enough that I feel the money was well spent. The privacy screen they sell also works well.

    How many Y do you spot in a day?

    Within my city, maybe 1 a day max. If I drive 10-20 miles outside of the metro area, zero.

    7-seater cargo space with 3rd row folded: equivalent to 5 seater?

    It doesn’t have the second, somewhat hard to reach under floor storage because the seats use that. Besides that there’s no difference. They fold completely flat. I’m happy with the 7 even though I’ll use infrequently. Will also help with resale value given the rarity. This is the only 7 seat EV...

    Buy a used 2021 MY SR?

    Were you planning on getting FSD? If not, then aren't you talking about an 18,000$ increase (FSD + no tax savings) vs. your original plans? To me, that is quite a steep difference. If you aren't interested in the FSD, wouldn't a new LR perhaps be a better option?

    An honest take on Tesla / the Model Y

    Think you were right to reject. The dents to me is more about the transport than the assembly, possibly. Not sure if I'd have tried for a third time. Also, coming from a family of dealership owners, while there is certainly more hand holding with a dealer, the reason for that is for a future...

    Ford Blue Cruise

    I think this will put enormous cost pressure on Tesla to bring back EAP, possibly at a lower cost point. Ford is building this in as a $600 option.

    How are quality issues with Model Y currently

    The delivery person, based on the fact that it’s completely even on all sides. Ultimately I didn’t feel the need to push this one to that point. She did tell me to go ahead and report it for my first service visit, which I scheduled same day. We’ll see what they say next Friday.

    How are quality issues with Model Y currently

    I took delivery of a MY 7 seater on Monday. There are 5 issues I’m asking to be fixed but only #1 I can’t live with. Overall I felt the car was good quality and I’ve never done a detailed inspection like this before on any vehicle. 1. 60 split second row is very difficult to open for access to...

    Removing FSD Pre-Delivery

    This is where I'm confused. It is literally a button on the page and when I click it, it asks me to uncheck the box related to FSD and to check a box and acknowledge this specific statement: "Yes, remove Full Self-Driving ($10,000) and keep Autopilot. I acknowledge I will not be able to make any...
