    Almost New Model Y Gemini Wheels (19" - No Tires/No TPMS)

    A bit old, but was curious if you'd be willing to ship [if they're still available]?

    Road trip

    Congrats on the milestone! What are your typical driving habits? My first 6 months was like that as well, but over time it got worse to where it would underestimate and my consumption would always be higher than the expected. Even more notable in winter. I typically drive at the Posted Speed...

    Climate turns off after 2 hours?

    I think that's only if the vehicle is in drive/reverse.

    Worth buying 18 inch flow forged wheels versus sticking with 19 inch Gemini wheels when getting new Vredstein tires?

    Not a problem, just another data point. You might look up "living in Tesla" on YouTube, he's in Canada but he is probably much closer to PNW type service roads than we are in the Midwest, he has a smaller following so if you message him he will likely respond.

    Worth buying 18 inch flow forged wheels versus sticking with 19 inch Gemini wheels when getting new Vredstein tires?

    For us the 19" Geminis haven't been an issue on the forest service roads we've taken. But they were mostly highway legal roads only (in this area). The bigger issue on the ORV roads is ground clearance overall. The only other significant disadvantage to the larger rim will be you would lose any...

    Modern Spare still recommended?

    I did. It's convenient for me, and because I do leave it the garage if I take it out, it keeps the bugs from hiding in it. Also worth noting, I frequently move it around from the trunk, to the middle row depending on what I'm carrying, the soft case does prevent everything from getting...

    Second thoughts on Telsa charger installation

    Nobody has really addressed how often you drive each day, this should tell you what you need. Honestly your situation is like ours. We have a Chevy Bolt. It gets driven daily and hovers around 60-70% with a 12A charge rate. I very rarely bother to charge it up with the Tesla EVSE because it's a...

    Modern Spare still recommended?

    You could probably piece together the other parts (I actually just bring battery impact wrench), but the all in one is convenient, and not awfully priced. As for have it or do not, personally I keep it in the car most of the time, because I'm lazy to take it out. But I will always have it on...

    Long family camping road trip; how would you?

    There are some backyard scientist studies out there that have shown that a roof box with wheels (e.g. on a utility trailer) is significantly more efficient than a roof box on the roof. Which would be another option! Reduced frontal area and significantly reduces the wake size is the general...

    Removing Enhanced Autopilot

    In theory, it is forward compatible. At least right now. Down the road you may need HWX.X to support the FSD version, but let's say you changed your mind a month after receipt, it'd be no issue. As for cost: my understanding is the cost would be the current cost difference between EAP and FSD...

    Removing Enhanced Autopilot

    OP is in the UK. If I recall there are other countries laws and regulations that required allowing EAP to continue to exist because some FSD capabilities are not allowed.

    Why aren't the back seats level?

    In my car the seat backs are level, but in one position (there are two) the right side sits forward a little more. I have seen others that are not. My assumption is it's some tolerance stack between the latch, the seat frame, and the vehicle body. In the fully reclined position it is more level.

    Does anybody know the part number

    It would appear both brackets are part of the "front ankle catcher" assembly. 1505433-00-A PS: Tesla service has provided free access to the service manual for one year (for now): https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-service-manual-100-free.267600/

    Vendor Bomely® Tesla Model 3&Y Accessories are Constantly Being Updated.

    I like this concept. I store probably too much in the trunk and treat it like my old hatchback and unfortunately don't take good enough care. I have a trunk mat that covers the carpeted area, but is too short to prevent scratching of the upper plastic area. Would be nice to see if these could...

    2022 Model Y 4680 Structural Pack is "Amazing", Says Munro & Associates

    It really is just the potential for a larger range pack in. But as noted before, it doesn't make sense to extend the range beyond 300 miles for cars like the M3, MY, MS, MX unless they offer an "extended range" version say an increased officer point. Especially if the 4680 had reduce charging...

    Towing with Tesla Model Y LR

    Some insight to SAE J2807, which may be useful to others who want to know what defines the tow rating of a vehicle, rather than the tow rating of the equipment. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/1502-sae-j2807-tow-tests-the-standard/...

    Model Y Black window Trim chips

    As far as I understand, the black trim on our MY is actually aluminum oxide colored black in the anodization process. As a result, I don't think you'll ever quite get the right effect with paint. You might try this product from Caswell, which is a big name in anodizing, otherwise sharpie is a...

    Model y performance air suspension?

    I mean tires are part of suspension, and they're filled with air! Also double checked, rear suspension is spring and damper.

    Model y performance air suspension?

    Unless they made some drastic updates under the radar, still just coilovers on the MY's. Only X and S have factory air suspension. Sure would be nice, though!

    Autopilot errors in 2022.12.3.16

    I didn't think to post here, this definitely makes more sense. Seems we had very similar issues. Some additional resources I referenced while on my trip (there are many more) indicating there is no real rhyme or reason, just a series of unfortunate events resulting in some stack error, but...

    System Error - Sentry, Autopilot, etc

    2021 MYLR in NA. Just updated to 2022.12.3.20 on Friday. I have often had "System Errors" kick me off NoA or FSD, I think due to no cell service somewhere in the hills of West Virginia (US35 north of Charleston). This last time I was heading northwest on I77 to I64 south of Charleston, and I had...

    What to do with FSD?

    Engaging FSD is the same as engaging autopilot. The primary indication that FSD is engaged when you activate autopilot is the blue line with the FSD beta visualizations. NOA (highways) seems to take precedence over FSD, so the FSD visualizations disappear. But to make sure FSD is activated on...

    Purchase process when using cashier's check to pay for vehicle?

    Anecdotal, but: I picked mine up in Indiana May '21, I did not hand over the check until I was done reviewing the vehicle. They did not ask me to do so, either. They did ask me to hurry up with my review, though. Once complete, I did sign documentation and handed over the check. I suppose if...

    Seatbelt alarm, with backseat folded

    Yes, I also experience this. There is no sensor to identify if the back seats are folded or up, only a weight sensor in the seat and seatbelt buckled or not. As a result, seat backs folded or not, if there is weight in the seat, it will indicate the need for a seatbelt. It is an annoyance, but...

    Teslas ICE’ing

    I have only seen chargers ICED/blocked 6 times since May (cumulative 15k miles between Bolt EV and MYLR). 2 times were destination chargers, blocked by EV's only because the chargers themselves had been neglected and were not functional. 2 times by fuel tankers at EA chargers or SC on the...

    What do yo do for a flat tire?

    I would be caution using that jack. From what I'm reading, it has a safe working load of 1000kg (2240 lbs). The Model Y LR AWD has a curb weight teetering over 2000kg (4500 lbs) unloaded. The general rule of thumb I learned was the working load needs to be 2/3 the weight of the vehicle at min...

    Model Y for short drivers

    My wife is 5', we own the Y and a CRV. In the Y, she has the same complaint with respect to the B pillar on the left side, since she sits so far forward. Respectively, she also does not like the rear windshield of the MY being so tall and small. Seems like the M3 may be better in both.

    Upgrading to the new door trim and headlights in the future

    I'm curious why you say the likelihood of a non MYP would get them is very close to 0? Given that Giga Shanghai produces the M3 for much if Europe, and Fremont does not, why would they dump the Global Headlight into all versions of the M3, but not the MY? The premise seems very similar. Perhaps...

    Nail in tire. Should I request roadside assistance or take it to a tire shop myself

    Similarly, I personally have found tire certificates to be worthwhile. I learned when you can buy them even if you didn't buy the tires from the store (with Discount Tire, anyways). They're a little more expensive because of the cost of the tire, but much less expensive than replacing just one...

    1up USA Bike Rack

    Regen... manual driving vs TACC.

    I still do it in the MY. Kind of muscle memory between the two vehicles, I guess. It is also similar to engine braking the previous manual ICE and to ICE motorcycles (chop the throttle vs roll off results in big suspension upset vs smooth transition). To be honest, though, at first I really...

    Phantom Braking Discussion

Whereas resting my foot on the accelerator and moving to the brakes in the event if emergency is akin to driving a car without cruise control...

    Model Y front glass broke. Does Tesla warranty cover this?

    Mud flaps & Model Y

    Too early to tell with the MYLR with 19" Gemini's for me. In my experience, though, they will help but not resolve completely. I would expect with salt you will have some spray above the mudflap, and behind, but it will mostly be salt water rather than solid debris. In my experience with my...

    Mud flaps & Model Y

    Depends on your threshold for effort. In my opinion, no. The RA flaps essentially use drywall anchors in place of clips. I honestly don't know how to remove them without destroying them. You could leave them in, but I honestly found it to be enough if a pain to screw into because they free...
