    What is this high pitched cricket like noise?

    This was the exact same noise that mine had. It was the small rear window. SC replaced the window and the noise is gone.

    Brand new 2023 MYLR Alignment done by service center

    I had alignment done twice by the SC in the same week. If you still find issue, go back and ask them to redo it.

    2023 Model Y rattles in the back

    My 2023 has the rattle in the rear coming from the small glass window. SC replaced it and now it's rattle free. It took awhile for me to isolate the area since it only happened on a few certain roads.

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    The smaller sub trunk is probably the safest. I insulated the hood and the frunk's tub with reflectix since it gets very hot in there in the summer.

    Do I need to change tyre

    The car has all those cameras and computing power. It's reasonable to assume that it must be able to self-steering away from the curb. 🤪

    Android Auto

    I use TeslAA to run Android Auto. Works fine.

    Do I need to change tyre

    I would bring it back to the SC and demand Tesla to replace the wheel and tire. Let us know how that goes.

    CCS slower than molasses?

    Look at the number of kWh added. Your car got 10kWh in 24m. The number of miles added is wrong on the display, ignore it. Those Chargepoint CCS stations can have up to 2 plugs. Were both being used? If yes then the 62,5 kW is splitted in half. Is that MB CCS charger open to the public? I...

    Road Trip - Model Y

    In the US, it shows EVGo CCS chargers with the built in Chademo adapter. When I want to charge at EA, I simply navigate to the nearby SuC for pre-conditioning then use my phone for navigation. In some areas, EA is significantly cheaper. If Urban SuC is the only option or the V2 is crowded, EA /...

    Installing signal booster in model 3

    The car uses AT&T. If you have a MIFI with antenna, you may be able to boost the signal strong enough for the MIFI to work. I have a Verizon MIFI with attenna permanently installed in my X.

    Service - No Uber/Loaner

    The free loaner for out of warranty repair was stopped around the summer. Before that, I had no problem getting the loaner from service. They used to use Enterprise then Hertz if they were out of Tesla loaner.

    Reservation Transfer Technicalities

    I got a hold of someone with an old reservation on Monday night. Reset the passwords to the email and Tesla account. Changed nothing. Reached out to SA via email and asked him to move up the delivery appointment and picked up the car on Tuesday morning. Nothing needs to be changed. The person...

    Tesla gives $3,750 discount for Model 3/Y in the US this month

    Got free cups of coffee from SC in the last 2 days. I drove from the delivery center... to the service center... then back again the next day. Not bad for a... "returning customer".

    Tesla gives $3,750 discount for Model 3/Y in the US this month

    I was able to get a hold of an old reservation. The discount is more than the cost of the reservation. Combine that with old pricing made it a sweet deal.

    Tesla changed their Alternate Transportation Policy ?!?!

    Tesla refused to give me loaner. They said policy was changed 3 days ago. Uber credit doesn't work when you have to haul kids around. This + expensive SuC cost. It's unlikely that I'll buy another Tesla. The service advisor doesn't even khow about the shudder issue. I wonder if they train their...

    Stolen J1772 Adapter

    I didn't have the key with me so the car was locked. I had to use the app to unlock. Service Center? Is that a joke? LOL

    Stolen J1772 Adapter

    I went to the X the other day. Unplugged the J1772 gun, then I was able to pull out the adapter. Then I realized that I didn't have the key with me so the car wouldn't unlock the chargeport like it normally would. I recalled it happened before but I can't purposely replicate it. Glitch?

    Frunk Thoughts or Engineering Disaster

    Can the Tesla premium connectivity share its data with other devices? There're many use cases for the hotspot in the car. Especially one with an external antenna likes mine. My old Chevy has a built-in AT&T hotspot and via its big antenna, we could get internet access in many of the campgrounds...

    Frunk Thoughts or Engineering Disaster

    If you don't care about live traffic and sat view then yes. I use my verizon and t-mobile SIM cards depend on the location. You can get T-Mobile Business Tablet Plan: Unlimited Data for $10/month tax included.

    Frunk Thoughts or Engineering Disaster

    My entire Costco load fits in the frunk. I don't have the picture but a big Costco pizza box can fit perfectly in the Model X's frunk. or a great place for clothes and sleeping bag when I go camping. It shields my hotspot from the weather. It's incredible how Tesla was able to arrange...

    Ioniq 5

    The gas price is at all time high now so it's easy to understand why people are hopping on EV bandwagon. I tried to request a quote for a Toyota truck and one dealer came back with $55 over MSRP offer... haha 55 over, not $550 or $5500. When gas price goes down, people will be back buying ICE...

    Questions after 1 week owning my 2022 MXP

    Phantom braking has been happening way before Tesla went with vision only. When I drove a vision only car, it performed really bad at night.

    12v battery upgrade - worth it?

    If you drive the car often then the 12V battery doesn't work as hard as the one in a car that mostly sitting for a long period of time. My 12V battery was replaced last year under the factory warranty.

    EV Spotting Thread

    A couple months ago, I spotted a Mercedes EQS with a Georgia mft plate near LinkedIn in Sunnyvale. I don't like the look of the exterior. It isn't classy. I'd also seen Lucid Air with camo driving around in Fremont way before they released it. If you're in the Bay Area, you probably know where...

    Model Y LR vs. EV6

    I test-drove the EV6 GT today. The car doesn't few very quick and the pedal has a little bit of travel before it engages. The LR Model 3 which I drove a few weeks ago felt much quicker. IDK, probably because the low SoC (20%)?

    Report yourself high mileage and repairs to date?

    4-6k, they have several options. Extended warranty starts when the mft warranty ends. Claim process: Call the XCare number to open a new claim, open the service request with Tesla to get a repair estimate. Once Tesla sends the final invoice, call XCare to have them pay Tesla then pay the $100...

    v11 software update SUCKS

    My Pentium II computer running Windows 95 with IE can load google.com faster than this AI computer. As a computer engineer, this is boggled the mind. Do the people at Tesla who code this even use it at all? Even the '22 Model 3 with AMD Ryzen reboots mid drive. In comparison, this company in a...

    v11 software update SUCKS

    How is it even be possible for them to make the internet browser so slow with this much processing power of the MCU2/MCU3? This has to be intentional.

    My Model X May Have Saved My Life

    That makes me want to test drive the Y. What was the weather conditions when you drove the Y? The seats, the noise level and the ride quality of the 3 are no-go items for us. We drove it through the mountain roads and the pacific coast highway. I'd say we haven't experienced a car that noisy...

    My Model X May Have Saved My Life

    You're 100% correct. I rode the 2022 Model 3 over the weekend; the rough ride and the wind noise wasn't fun. The Y is probably the same.

    Extended Warranty Options

    My problem was quite unique. When navigating the blue line showing direction doesn’t appear on the main screen. SC tried their best several times but couldn’t fix it. They reloaded the map tiles and the firmware but when I got the car back, the issue wasn’t fixed. They recommended to upgrade to...

    2021.24.28 Rolling out to MCU1/FSD MS/X

    The software for the MCU1 is making the Tegra CPU struggle. One could argue that the Tegra has enough power to draw the map if they put the time into optimizing it. Tesla should just roll them back to the most stable version and get rid of all the unusuable junks like the browser if they can't...
