I’ve recently been booted out of Auto Pilot after using it about 20 miles or so, and a giant red steering wheel appears on the monitor stating “Auto Pilot is not available for the rest of this trip” or something to that effect. It won’t let me use AP again until I stop the car and place it in...

Rather than buying a fob, why not consider a key ring? I believe they’re less expensive, around $129 or so, and are much more convenient than carrying around a bulky fob. You can obtain a key ring from most of the after market dealers, such as Tesmanian or RPM Tesla.

Even though I’ve checked off the box “exclude locking at home” my Y always locks itself, sometimes not immediately, but always sometime later after I have walked away after parking in my garage. I’ve checked and unchecked the box located in the Locks section of the UI, and watched as the...

Thanks, seems to have done the trick, at least while using the washers. Hard to imagine that the wipers would be that dirty on a car just 5 weeks old, but I guess maybe?

Anyone have a problem with the wipers sticking and chattering while clearing the windshield of rain? It’s almost as if there is something on the glass causing the blade to stick and not move smoothly while clearing the rain.

Not as simple as you might think. The push pins, which are threaded like a screw, don’t turn when you try to unscrew them. And when you try to pry them out they offer a lot of resistance to being removed.

Anyone have experience in removing RPM Tesla mud flaps? I purchased another set from Amazon that seem to be more secure and a better fit, but I can’t get the ones I installed originally off of the MY.

Changed the Tesla app from “while using the app” to “always” and it worked after rebooting the phone. Hopefully it will continue to work.

My wife’s phone key, which is the secondary key, will not open the car almost always. I’ve deleted her phone key twice and re-enabled it both times, and it works immediately but then will not open the car unless she opens the app. Once she takes her phone from her purse and opens the app it...

Is it normal for the animated screen to be herky jerky, with the cars, trucks, etc., sometimes flickering and quivering as well as the lines representing the lane demarcations also quivering as well? Since this is my first Tesla just want to make sure this is normal operation of the animation...

No, LR.

Yes, my post said “I have to clean the brake dust off each wheel”.

I get a lot of brake dust on all four wheels, even though I hardly ever apply the brakes using one pedal driving almost exclusively. In fact, I’ve done many trips in my MY and haven’t applied the brakes even one time. Wouldn’t you expect virtually zero brake dust if one pedal driving is used...

As is frequently the case in”minor” incidents like this, upon further evaluation by qualified technicians the total damage becomes greater than initially determined. The crease that was created in the door was very hard to see by my untrained eyes, but was easily identified by the repair shop...

I’m not blaming Tesla, or anyone other than the PPF Shop Manager. It was broad daylight, inside a brightly lit shop and conditions to drive the vehicle were ideal. If the driver were paying any attention at all she should have realized what was happening and been able to avoid damaging an...

Sorry, but absolutely no blame can be assigned to me! Yes, you’re giving up possession of your vehicle to a third party, but that’s why they have insurance. Not only did they attempt to fix the vehicle on the cheap w/o my permission, but they even refused to provide me with the name of their...

And then compounding the issue by attempting to correct the error on the cheap, instead of complying with the customer’s request to bring the vehicle to a Tesla Certified Shop and restoring the vehicle to the best possible condition given that it had 20 miles on it. Anyone that disagrees with...

This is insane, if it’s unrealistic to expect that brining the car in and out of their shop without damaging it, how could they get anyone to trust them to wrap their cars? I’m not referring to driving a car in bumper to bumper traffic, driving at 65 mph, driving in a pouring rain or snow...

I guess it’s unrealistic to expect the PPF shop to drive the vehicle into their garage door and back out without causing damage?

Quite frankly, I can’t even believe for a second you’re questioning my integrity and the actions I took. Shame on you.

You do realize that because they brought it to a body shop that’s not Tesla Certified they can’t order any parts? So, they can’t get the molding that was damaged around the rear wheel well and they can’t get the replacement rear right lens that always breaks when it’s removed to paint the rear...

No, didn’t even have the opportunity to go through the set up procedures. Not even my phone was paired to the car, let alone setting up Sentry Mode or Dash Cam. Will be doing all the set up when I finally get the car back approximately 2-3 weeks after the first day when I took delivery. I...

So after I decided not to use their recommended collision shop, but insisted instead on bringing the car to Daya’s (a Certified Tesla Body Shop in Longwood), they completely reneged on their promise to “take care of me 1000%”, and told me to file an insurance claim. Daya’s found two issues that...

This is a very long post, so please bare with me and read the entire post prior to commenting. I picked up MY Tesla on Saturday 5/1, drove immediately to a highly reviewed PPF and Wrap Shop in Orlando, FL. Left the car there over the weekend for them to begin working on a full front PPF, lower...

Wrapping is important if you want to keep the paint looking new. Cost of full front, rocker panels and rear bumper was $2500 (Front $1500, Rocker Panels $500 and Rear Bumper $500).

Picked up MY in Orlando ordered on 4/6 today, 5/1. Everything went smoothly, they were extremely busy and it took 2 hours before we drove away. Fit and finish were close to perfect, only blemish was a slight orange dot on the hood that appeared to be under the clear coat. Every panel, every...

Apparently the signal broadcast by the Wall Connector is not very strong, necessitating that you keep your phone right next to (almost touching) the unit and it will go through the required set up process without issues.

Got it, finally! Moved my iPhone right next to the Wall Connector and it immediately went through the full configuration steps. Apparently the signal broadcast by the Connector is not very strong and the phone needs to almost touch it in order to do the complete setup.

Having issues connecting my Tesla Wall Charger V3 to wifi. After successfully scanning the QR code on the front page of the Quick Connect Guide and entering the password, when I attempt to scan or manually enter the server address on the last page of the setup guide (192.xxx.x.x), I receive a...

Just got the mileage statement on MY that I’m scheduled to accept delivery on 5/1, and it shows 15 miles. Just curious what others have had on their Model Y’s at delivery as it seems 15 miles sounds like a lot on a brand new car which supposedly hasn’t been driven.

Question, if you have a VIN and a Delivery date (5/1 at 1pm) which was received 9 days after order date, does that indicate the vehicle was likely produced earlier and either refused or cancelled by another customer? Also, I’ve read many posts here that most customers don’t get their delivery...

Placed my order for MY on 4/6 for Extended Range with a Tow Hitch in white with black interior. Received my VIN yesterday 4/14 and appointment for delivery on 5/1 this morning. WOW!! My Sales Advisor said the car would likely arrive mid to end of June. Anyone else see this fast of a delivery...

It was not a true price, when I called he said I misunderstood the emailed quote. It looked too good to be true.

Anyone know what the advantages of doing a Ceramic Coating on top of Paint Protection Film (Xpel) and why I would get a quote from a vendor to do this? I was quoted $3085 for the entire PPF, using Xpel, on a Model Y with Ceramic Coating on top included. Name of the firm is 407 Custom in...

Good afternoon, I ordered my first Tesla, a Model Y, a few days ago. Been reading a lot on this site about performance issues, fit and finish issues, as well as flat tires causing Tesla’s to be out of commission for days in some cases. My concern after reading all of these comments is am I...

Ordered a Model Y Extended Range AWD yesterday with a 5-9 week delivery date. Any idea if the vehicle will come in sooner rather than later? Anyone get their car sooner than they expected? What about some of the early issues, i.e. paint issues, fit issues, panel tolerances, trunk and door...
