Thanks all!

Hi all, I traded in our MY yesterday (for an i4) and am trying to figure out how to remove it from the Tesla app and notify Tesla it's been sold. I also have a powerwall so don't want to just delete the Tesla app. The instructions online don't jive with what I see when I log into my account. Any...

It's been nearly a month now and we've not had it happen again after recalibrating the windows. It doesn't explain others' rear hatch opening though.

The same thing has happened to us. Once yesterday (when it was raining) and again today. First the front passenger's window then today the rear passenger's window. I'll try the window calibration procedure and see whether this fixes the issue: The door needs to be closed Press the window up...

I got a CA MVD approved vinyl plate here.

Well it's a beta feature you can't turn off as phantom breaking happened to us even when we consistently disabled emergency auto braking after each charging session while on the road.

We were driving down 395 in the eastern Sierra, no cars ahead of us and none in the oncoming lanes (separated by a wide median) and the car would brake hard 200 yds or so ahead of an intersection with no traffic signals.

The stock adaptive cruise control (which is what we were using) should not be "beta."

If you're going to try clay bar on the glass be mindful to get a glass specific clay bar as it is denser and a more aggressive cleaner compared to paint clay bars that have to be softer.

Our 21 MY has the pliable textile in the wheel wells. It doesn't snow here though so can't comment on that aspect of your inquiry.

We had a slew of phantom breaking events on Hwy 395 in the eastern Sierra a couple weeks ago. It's a flat road down a valley and straight as a could be. Little to no traffic we'd be coming up on a cross road w/no traffic on it and the MY would break for no reason whatsoever. This was with stock...

My bad. I meant to indicate radar. IIRC Tesla stopped including radar AFTER March 2021.

Not sure but our MY has both the ladar/radar as well as the cameras.

I've submitted a report to NHTSA.

The tech suggested that it may be an issue on the relatively remote roads we were on that their software had errors with. 14 and 395 from Bishop to Mojave isn't exactly remote though.

Tesla just called me and wondered if the windshield had a lot of bug splatter that can affect the camera above the rear view mirror as that can affect the emergency breaking function. I told the tech that we clean the windshield with "Invisible Glass" every time we stop when on road trips. He...

This last weekend we drove from our home in Arroyo Grande CA to the Mammoth Lakes area. Enroute, we experienced a number of unneeded emergency braking events while on the highways at speed (65-72 mph). While this happened about a dozen time, 5-6 of them were significant slow downs and could have...

It's something the Jestons would drive :)

It amazes me that Tesla is still having these issues after all this time. Our MY delivered 3/31/21 was flawless but it's looking like we were just lucky. I've since put full frontal ppf on and ceramic pro so the paint is just lustrous. Not to brag but Tesla should be able to be more consistent...

The ID4 has rear drum brakes?? In 2022? 😨

Sorry to say your refundable deposit will not qualify you for the fed tax credit. That's been discussed endlessly on the Mach e and i4 forums.

Yup, that's what I did and it was easy to apply over the ppf.

The downside of the i4s is the long lead time for them 10-12 mo estimated today by my BMW sales associate. That seems to be the case with all EVs these days. I seriously considered an i4 40e but they dropped adaptive cruise control on the 40e and as of 1/1/23 the only BMW that will qualify for...

Wow, sorry to hear that about your Tesla. My MY AWD is rattle and squeek free 16 mo into ownership.

Well it looks like the fed tax credit for EVs not made in America (which includes Canada and Mexico) is ending the end of this year and with BMW now showing any willingness to put ACC back in as an option, I've pretty much written the i4 off as a future EV. At this point we'll sell Shannon's...

I'm all ready to order an i4 40e just as soon as they add back in adaptive cruise control (only available on the M50 right now). I'm planning on a nonMsport version with few options as it's pretty well loaded as it is and I prefer rwd. It's also $10k less than a fully loaded M50. Also have a...

We've been using a Thule rack for the last several vehicles and it's sturdy but light. This link is for their 4 bike rack. One thing to be aware of though is that the different geometries of the bikes can interfere with each other. I can fit our 2 gravel grinders on the Thule but also have to...

Unless of course you're out in the boonies with no cell service (e.g., many locales in NV).

All of the above. I carry a can of fix a flat, plugs and an air pump, and on long trips a modern spare.com Our 2017 Volt didn't come with a spare tire as many, many new vehicles don't anymore.

Is that because you already had a 220v charger at home when you got the tesla and just use the j1772 adapter to plug in?

Wow, that's going down the road of Kia who also isn't providing 110/220 chargers with their EV6s. I personally don 't know anyone who has a Tesla who doesn't use the OEM 110/220 charger that came with the car. Tesla is no longer including the mobile connector with new vehicles

Just read this: UK Tesla Supercharger Network Will Be Open To All EVs: Report

Pics please when you get the kayak on the Tesla. Thanks.

I've got an order in for a Mach e on 1/6/22 to replace my wife's Volt. I've just read about the BMW i4 M40 though and it's in about the same price range. I've had 2 BMWs in the recent past and both have been excellent products from a build quality and driving characteristics. The X5 45e though...

I just ran across this and registered to show our MY AWD in SLO on 4/23 but there are other events across the U.S. this month (April) Drive Electric Earth Day

My order was last year, 2021 and it seems that was a lucky fluke getting the order in just before the end of the quarter and just living 200 mi south of their CA factory.

The cost to replace my MY LR AWD that I got 3/31/21 is now $11,000 more what I paid for it less than a year ago. Wow.

I ordered our MY on 3/23 and it was built 3/28 and delivered 3/31/21. When I had my local ceramic pro guy come over to do this and the frontal ppf he put on high intensity lights to examine the paint closely. And he showed me what he was doing. Neither he nor I could find any flaws that needed...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Before I got my Y I thought that the front of the 3s and Ys looked like the mouth of Voldemort. I've now gotten used to it and yet have wondered if there isn't some applique that could improve its appearance.

I had the people who installed the solar system on our new home move and reinstall it. They (A.M. Solar) have experience with both the Powerwall and of course solar systems.

Hi all, Thanks for this thread. Most helpful tips and suggestions. I've book marked it for when we start road tripping again (shortly I hope).

I bought a road hazard warranty from them after getting a very slow leak from a screw in a tire. They fixed the flat (tire off the wheel and patch on the inside), re-balanced it, and rotated the tires at the same time (6500mi) as part of that warranty. Well worth the piece of mind.

Most likely although the process may have speeded up with covid in decline. Fingers crossed.

For me at least the OEM 30A charger is quite sufficient for overnight charging. All I needed was to add a second 240v 40A plug in the garage (our Volt uses the other 240v receptacle).

That long wait for chargers happened over a Xmas or Thanksgiving holiday travel weekend when a pass over the I-5 to the east was closed because of a snow storm so all I-5 traffic was diverted to the 101 that runs through San Luis Obispo. And as @LoudMusic has noted, since then Tesla's put in a...

Patience grasshopper ;-) I just got mine last week after ordering the plates last April. they had contacted me because the application showed our old address and it didn't match their records (moved last August). I now have an order in for the license wrap https://licenseplatewrap.com/ (legal in...

Well I have had a screw in our Tundra pickup truck when up at Huntington Lake which is 40 and 22 miles from the nearest garage in Shaver Lake and there's no cell service up at Huntington. And it was on a Saturday afternoon.

I also carry tire plugs, a tire pump as well as the spare.

It's been my experience with PHEVs over the course of many years that initially new tires do reduce range a bit but that decrement goes away after a few thousand miles.

I hate to say this but I wonder if he wasn't selling you what he had in inventory rather than what you wanted.
