    Any happy camper here with the price cut?

    I'm happy to see the price cut though I took a small hit on my early 2021 resale prices as well. Cars are depreciating assets and in this instance, we have to see cars like cell phones and computers. Price reductions happen as technology progresses and with competition. With this price cut, a...

    Tires Model Y Long Range 19 Inch Wheels

    My 2021 MYLR is doing well after 26,000 miles on 19 inch Bridgestone Turanza Quiet tracks. I changed the OEM continentals after 17,000 miles due to concerns of winter traction at high speeds on hilly highways. My odometer is at 43,000.

    Roof box: Thule Motion XT vs Yakima GrandTour?

    I have a Thule Force XT Sport that I have used for road trips for over a year now. My two criteria were as little front over hang as possible so as not to impede the front cameras and the ability to drive in and out of a standard garage without having to remove the roof top box. This met both...

    Model Y 19" All Weather Tires

    I have 23,000 miles on Bridgestone Turanza Quiet tracks. These tires are quiet and the efficiency is comparable to continentals that came with the car. I have a 3/2021 build seven seater MYLR. I switched the half worn continentals at 17,000 miles due to excess road noise and reduced traction...

    HD Audio Bluetooth AAC

    I have a Pixel 5 phone with Android 13 and my Tesla app is ver 4.13.3. I have a 3/2021 built MY LR. I have never had a screen like yours with audio formats on my android Tesla app just like ElectricAnt54 said. Coming to audio quality, I stream Amazon music in HD as well as XM music channels from...

    How do you personalize?

    I want to wrap or powder coat my OEM roof racks WRB to match my bugeye along with powder coating the wheels gold. Since my MYLR is gray, I'm hesitant it'll look hideous but will definitely stand out in a sea of Teslae. A fake hood scoop will be a bonus, but will affect the aerodynamics, hence...

    Thule Force XT Sport roof cargo box installed.

    MDelectric, I am on vacation and unfortunately my car is back home. The crossbars were installed by tesla service at the time of delivery, so I assumed they did a good job. Strangely, recently I noticed that they were not aligned parallel to each other and there was forward and backward sliding...

Tried my cell phone hotspot and even that is not picked up. Next step is to reboot the home wifi router as suggested...

    Model Y New Tires

    I changed out OEM Continentals for Bridgestone Turanza Quiet tracks and have driven 15,000 miles on the Bridgestones. As earlier posters mentioned, my efficiency took a hit as well. It went from about 266 Wh/m on Continentals to about 350 on Turanzas and have since improved to 291 Wh/m. Spring...

    Battery Degrading question on Model Y

    I have a MY LR manufactured in Mar 2021 with 32,000 miles. I have seen my 100 percent vary between 330 max to 321 today with several 310s-315s in between in the last fifteen months. Always charged at home with the mobile charger at 240, 32A to about 60-80 percent except for three road trips of...

    Vendor TeslaShields Has the Perfect Fit

    I installed the Teslashields Understeat storage pouches under driver and passenger seats, but facing the second row of seats. It perfectly clears the electrical connection to the front seats and leaves enough room for air vents to suck in the cabin air without any obstruction. The concern about...

    Third row comfortable in summer?

    7 seater owner here, delivered the end of March 2021. 31,500 miles in 14 months, many 3500 mile round trips with 2 adults, 3 children and a 65 lb dog. The shade for the hatchback rear glass from Tesla makes a difference in the heat and direct sun's rays hitting the kid occupying the third row...

    Vendor TeslaShields Has the Perfect Fit

    Perfect. Just ordered this 3rd row mat along with the front under seat storage pouches for my 2021 Y. I have a bunch of USB c extensions that kids use for their gadgets on road trips cluttering the storage compartments. The underseat storage will relieve me of that clutter so I can find...

    Detroit to Boston in Model Y LR

    "Trust Tesla navigation and supercharging recs, you will be fine. Don't try to be over smart" - words of wisdom from a Tesla veteran I met at a supercharger a year ago on my first 3500 mile road trip. Since then I have done three more 3500 mile road trips and 30,000 miles and 12 months later in...

    What audio source do you use the most?

    I use Bluetooth to stream XM radio from my XM phone app for news channels and Amazon music app on my phone for streaming high definition music. Amazon HD music is audiophile quality, but have not compared it to Qobuz or Apple lossless in terms of quality.

    Thule Force XT Sport roof cargo box installed.

    Sorry to hear about the issue. I have a 2021 Model Y. I did not have the issue of the OEM racks being spaced too far apart for the 11 cu ft Thule Force XT. I took some measurements for comparison purposes. The distance between the inner edges of the OEM roof racks is 30 inches (back edge of the...

    Goodyear Electric Drive GT tires

    I installed 255/45-19 Bridgestone Turanzas around Christmas and have driven approx 5,100 miles since. They are noticeably quieter than the stock Continentals while the energy consumption seems to be comparable or at the most 5-10% higher. I have to wait till spring to compare these two under...

    Review of the Bridgestone Tourenza QuietTrack 19” replacements

    Chiming in for the first time on this thread. I have a 7 seater Y LR March 2021 build that I've driven 21,500 miles so far. At 17,150 miles, the week before Christmas, I swapped out my 19" Continental Procontact OEM tires for Bridgestone Turanza Quiettracks. Quiettracks are 6lbs heavier at 32...

    Model Y 7 seater Floor Mat Recommendation

    I have Tesmanian all weather liners for my 7 seater for the first and second rows, they have high edges and don't interfere with the forward slide of the first or specifically the second row seats. I am not sure of OEM Tesla liners.

    Thule Force XT Sport roof cargo box installed.

    I'm on a road trip, now in South Florida with my Tesla and the roof box, so I have to get back home to measure my garage door height from the ground. Originally, I had parked the car half pulled in to the garage with the highest point of the roof rack (at its midpoint) directly beneath the...

    Thule Force XT Sport roof cargo box installed.

    One of my requirements was to get a cargo box that I can drive in and out of a normal residential garage door without having to remove it. This cargo box with a height of 16.75 inches plus the height of OEM roof racks on which it is mounted met that criterion. It weighs 32 lbs which is actually...

    Model Y Floor Mats

    Model Y Roof Rack Whistling Sound

    My MY 7 seater had the OEM roof rack installed at delivery in March this year. After almost 17,000 miles with it, mostly highways, I have not noticed any whistling. Keep in mind I've never driven my car without it, so my normal wind noise may be different from someone used to a car without the...

    Model Y OEM roof rack + Yakima grand touring 16

    Looks good on your White car. I am wondering whether Yakima has redesigned the clamps that go around the cross bars.

    Model Y OEM roof rack + Yakima grand touring 16

    The arc shaped clamps of Sky Box 16 failed to lock in, they reached across about two thirds. The OEM racks from Tesla are a little too wide for the Sky Box clamps. I don't know whether the design of the OEM rack has been changed since March when I got them. Thule boxes do fit, REI associates...

    Best All Weather floor mats for MY

    I am in Chicago area as well. Tesmanian has a third row liner on their website, the coverage seems very inadequate from the pictures. So far I haven't had any luck, still searching for a third row solution. It is not easy to vacuum back there either.

    Best All Weather floor mats for MY

    I have both 3D maxpider and Tesmanian for my 7 seater Y. The Tesmanians have much more coverage in vital areas eg, for the the second row, better coverage just over where the door frame meets the body frame due to taller sidewalls and reaches much further under the front seats. The first row...
