Nope, recently ran some numbers on this since I saw tesla was including battery charging in the range estimates now. the recent generation of iPhones have a 10-13 watt-hour battery iPhone battery capacities compared: all iPhones battery life in mAh and Wh You probably wouldn’t, but assuming...

Anyone know why this occurs/ this is an issue on this particular car ? I’ve never had this issue with other makes of vehicles, but searching the forums I see threads on all tesla models related to skipping / jumping / chattering wipers. If it helps anyone there’s a 3 year old model S thread...

some of the new solar inverters (Enphase IQ8 as an example) offer 'sunlight backup' where they can form a microgrid to power a critical loads panel if the grid goes down. but it's the same challenges everyone in this thread laid out: the smart controllers and switches etc come to 3K ish of...

Is there anything stopping us from plugging a small 12v inverter into the cigarette lighter or directly to the 12v battery to power some small <1800 watt load? Would the HV battery keep the 12v charged automatically?

I know the high voltage is risky and not recommended, but can you simply plug a <1800 watt inverter into the cigarette lighter 12v, or would you need to wire it to the 12v battery directly? Will the HV battery keep the 12v charged automatically, or will the 12v be drained by doing this, and I...

wait I'm on 2022.4.5.21. I haven't been following SW releases since the xmas show update - how many versions behind am I?

What sw version are you on now that fixed it? I personally haven’t experienced much phantom braking so can’t weigh in, but I’m sure others will

please do report back. I'm curious if with this plan you'd still owe your utility for the delivery charges for your nighttime EV charging, but ClearView just credits you back for EV supply, not delivery?

update for those following: I called clearview today, and their clearcharge EV plan (which gives you free chargepoint EVSE home charging 11pm-6am) was updated down to 17.99 cents for all non-EV usage. CLEARVIEW ENERGY’S FREE* Charging Plan - Clearview Energy Their normal non-EV related 6 or 12...

oh good tips. I ended up going to my local rackattack a month ago and getting their last Grand Tour at full price, like others here recommended. REI seemed to have em in stock too near me, FWIW. Seems like it's the same specs as a skybox 16, just shiny instead of matte plastic.

FWIW i called Clearview recently, they are still offering free chargepoint usage 7 days a week 11pm - 6AM. The catch is the 12 month supply rate for non EV usage (AKA the rest of your house) is currently 26c/kWh. That's in addition to the 10-11c/kWh delivery charge and $7/month customer fee...

Anyone recommend any other cargo boxes or is the consensus that the skybox 16 is the go-to?

Hey folks, so now that I took delivery of my LR MY, I’m curious on how I should be managing my battery for maximum lifespan. I’m sure this has been discussed as nauseum already and I know supercharging isn’t great on battery life, keep it below 80% and above 40% daily, etc etc and I’ve seen some...

Also curious on the sizing recommendation. Tried just keeping the middle headrest up but my 48 lb pup Houdini’d himself into the middle seat today somehow

I’ve heard good things about craft detailing, and gotta a quote from them of about 6k for a full car ppf. By clear bra do you mean a full car clear paint protection film or just front end?

I thought it was nuts to spend more to protect the paint than the paint costs …. like spending $1k to put a screen protector on your phone. Thanks for the sanity check, I’ll skip PPF and just live with it. This is a daily driver not a museum piece

Hey New Englanders! anyone have a suggestion for a paint protection shop that doesn’t cost 6 grand in New England? With the somewhat questionable quality of the Fremont paint shop and salty, sandy, pothole-ridden constant construction debris or road salt reality of being in New England, I’m...

Agreed. Shanghai was what, like Sept 1 first test model produced, and I think first consumer deliveries were Jan? So 4 months from now for TX would be in line with that timeline. And might explain the current estimated delivery on LR Y of Jan across the board. They very well might be pausing LR...

Aaaand it happened, albeit in 3 weeks not two: The first giga Texas built model y has been manufactured

Maybe MPP can recommend a MA shop to do the installation

When would you estimate that tx built model Ys will be delivered to the first customers? October? November?

Well to be fair Tegtmeyer said “in the next week”. I personally thought two weeks would be better. Bonus is the musk in-joke.

Hadn’t seen a thread on this yet, but one of the quad squad, Joe Tegtmeyer, yesterday said he has a “trusted source” who says that in the next couple weeks Austin will produce it’s first model Y for training and testing purposes , then full production within two months...

Curious you all recommending AAA instead of the included Tesla Roadside. Doesn’t Tesla offer 500 miles of towing with their roadside assistance? Roadside Assistance Or are they unreliable / too slow

Thanks for the advice. I’m gonna heed it - my electrician said if he’s already doing the 4 or 6 gauge run of wires, and have the leftover old 100 amp panel it’s almost the same amount of work to just put the old panel in as a sub panel. And to your point, this would remove obstacles later to...

How are the stock tires in the snow? I have Michelin CrossClimate + on my front wheel drive ICE car now, and they’re amazing in all conditions New England can throw at em. I’ve heard good things about the Vredsteins too. The only thing I haven‘t seen others mention in this thread yet is flat...

I know not rain related, but there’s an interesting vision thread in the FSD forum if you haven’t seen it. They found some tests of radar vs bison of encountering a box covered in foil vs a human shaped cutout. Not a perfect test but demonstrates some of the limitations of this new reliance on...

I completely agree, but I guess am just disappointed. I don’t use cruise control in weather where I think my vision or traction are inadequate either, it’s unsafe. However my [perhaps overly optimistic/naive] hope as a TSLA investor was that Tesla’s years of development and R and D investment...

Yeah, you nailed it. There are other factors at play: cars on the road. The anecdotes I saw were the mist/ cloud kicked up by vehicles ahead of the Tesla impeded the AP’s vision such that it disabled. Not that it can’t keep active on an empty straight highway in the rain. Aka without radar it...

Agreed - mine is on hold until August, but I might try to extend it further. Between this radar removal & the Jan 2022 federal EV credit just over the horizon right now, and potential for 4860 cells next year sometime, I'm leaning toward no reason to rush taking delivery this year, unless...

I haven’t checked consumer reports but I could’ve sworn I saw a post from this week that a national safety certification was removed from the m3 and mY after this radar development, and subsequently consumer reports removed their top pick and safety recommendation for those models. At the time...

Another unfortunate datapoint from someone who has both radar and non radar MY

This is impressive/ sad to me. It was raining hard at times yesterday. On 95 I slowed to 60 or 55 myself just to ensure I had visibility. I have a modelY reservation, but would rather a car that enhances the safety of what I can see, not equal to…

There was a report from someone who took delivery during the recent rain in the northeast, and AP/TACC had them take over 10 times in a 30 mile turnpike drive due to poor visibility from the rain /mist kicked up by cars in front of the Tesla. hopefully in future sw they overcome this, but I’m...

i also read somewhere that Tesla's lenders weren't able to match the 1.24% rates DCU was handing out. Between that, and the delays in approval, and no term sheet till the VIN is in, I'd recommend only applying to DCU if you want to actually close with them. FWIW I've banked with them since the...

What kind of Vinyl Wrap did you get? I thought the cost of vinyl was more on par with a whole-car PPF, much more than 1K, I'll have to look into that..

Has anyone actually taken delivery in the last couple weeks? Seems like not just 10K cars are on hold, but maybe all model Ys? Edit: nevermind, just confirmed my suspicions in the order tracking google sheet: only 5 VINs assigned in the last 2-3 weeks, and looking at the delivery dates they...

awesome, thanks for the suggestion. Was just thinking of making a specific post asking for PPF shop recommendations Ballpack how much did Q Car Care set you back?

Regardless of what the cars are waiting for, whether it be hardware, software or firmware, this delay will make the usual frenzied pace of deliveries the last month of the quarter absolute mayhem for the servicecenters. Just the fact that there's been a few weeks of delay with little to no...

that was the one. I should have said 'rumored' not confirmed. Definitely a lot of silence and unknowns around this whole situation though.

I hear ya. Thankfully I delayed my order till end of summer, so hopefully I won't be quality testing Tesla's rushed firmware update by then

It's been confirmed it's a firmware update

Yep, Sold some shares till this gets sorted. If reports of deliveries start in June I might buy back in at a discount, but I’m not gonna sit around waiting for the media to get hold of the news that Tesla can’t make any model Y deliveries this quarter and the vehicles are piling up in parking lots

If they can’t sort this out soon this could impact their quarterly delivery numbers right?

Thanks all for the replies, this is great info. Can’t wait

Taking delivery in a couple months of my first electric (AWD Y), and wanted to poll the north east community for suggestions of what you found helpful for dealing with our New England extremes: of weather, cost, etc. I know there are lots of new owner threads, but wanted to make a New England...

Fwiw I just chatted with a sales advisory (had to go in person) and they said in 2020 with covid they were a lot more understanding about delays and flexibility, but their latest guidance this year is to be a bit less flexible, they allow one delay/hold, but then you need to take delivery or...

K thanks for your suggestions, I just emailed the city_ordersupport@tesla email address I had received some correspondence from during the test drive process, we’ll see if it happens

I can share a DCU referral too if desired DM me

I’ve seen mentioned that people were able to place the reservation, then place it on hold for some period of months before you’re paired with a VIN. How do you do that? I placed an order end of March, then noticed they’re estimating June for delivery, but I’d rather wait. I both texted and...
