    Charging outside of scheduled time

    I'm having the same issue. Anyone else?

    new to Tesla and have a MYLR on order, what are the common issues and preventive measures for the MYLR?

    27,500 miles on my Y. 18 months old. I haven't even rotated the tires - wear is excellent. I wash the car weekly (the lack of brake dust is awesome). I've had zero need for service of any type. Won't go back to internal combustion.

    So, starting yesterday, 12/27, my time displayed is off by 1 hour (advanced). Good one!

    Gen. 3 Wall Charger change in behavior

    I posted this on another thread. I was experiencing a change in charging behavior on my Gen 3/MY. Here's what I discovered: Nov 15: I was having a similar issue. Gen 3 Wall charger. 2021 MY, 25,000 miles. Two weeks ago, after update 2022.36.2, The wall unit would charge for 3 to 5 minutes...

    Start Charging Error for a second!

    Just a follow-up of the follow-up. Last night charging started as scheduled and was completed, without stopping at 80% (was at 62%). I also did a quick 5% charge during off-peak - quickly charged the 5%. I'm assuming the issue was software related.

    Start Charging Error for a second!

    My charger is back to being reliable. Programmed charging started at 12:01, last night, and charged uninterrupted to the set 80%. It started at 42%. Hopefully, the MY update (2022.40.4.1) or the Wall Unit firmware update (2.41.1) solved the charging issue(s) I experienced.

    I'm having a similar issue. Gen 3 Wall charger. 2021 MY. 25,000 miles. Two weeks ago, after update 2022.36.2, The wall unit would charge for 3 to 5 minutes and stop. No alerts, no errors. I used my portable charger and it worked fine. Took a road trip to LA 1,000 miles round trip (no...

    Tesla scheduled departure/off-peak charging not working

    kevinF1990. My scheduled departure charging isn't working as well. I was just updated to 2022.36.6. As a matter of fact - even with scheduled departure turned off - it still charges for about 5 minutes and shuts off...annoying. I've had the car for a year - it's not a setting issue. I...

    Interior noise

    I just finished a 1,200 round trip drive from the San Francisco Bay Area to Vancouver, Washington. It was windy and wet with temps around 55. The car is a joy on a long drive. Set the destination and let the car "tell" you where to SuperCharge. It takes you to the "next" charge. Easy and...

    Why does Tesla suspension suck so bad?

    Holiday Update (2021.44.25.2)- A Big Disappointment

    Bingo. Winner, winner chicken dinner. I didn't use them very often. I'm off to read about suspensions now - yet another, truly bizarro thread group. Experts are all over these forums.

    Model Y Suspension and Ride Comfort Options

    The damper (shock or strut) has a huge impact on the ride. The spring and damper are interdependent - then, add the ridiculous oversized rims...geez. These are street cars that some buyers think are racey. You want to race - then strip out the entire suspension. You want cushy, use an air...

    Anyone regret buying the Acceleration Boost for their Model Y?

    Boom! What he said! I test drove one and bought it that day. I, now, drive it daily - best car I've ever owned. I've never felt so chilled in a car in my life. Just get on the freeway, crank the tunes and enjoy. Awesome stuff.

    MYP 2021 range: ~190 miles on a 90%-charge. Normal?

    In this case, "Tesla promised range", is an incorrect statement and it does matter. Tesla is not promising a range. They are referencing the Y's MPGe

    MYP 2021 range: ~190 miles on a 90%-charge. Normal?

    It's apparent, Deutsch, you have owned quite a few cars. Of those, how many achieved the "posted MPG's" on the sticker of the car? I'm quite happy, after my 7,500 miles, that I achieve 87% (based on my TeslaFi numbers) of the "stickered" range and I know I can do better if I slowed down. My...

    model y front seat headrest modification

    I bet the past owners of Bentley's and Roll's don't like them either. For me, the headrests and the entire car are absolutely GREAT - No need for "the survey says"...I let my wallet do the talking. Oh, it's not a big deal to modify the headrests, either.

    Anyone regret buying the Acceleration Boost for their Model Y?

    Na, I just have old fashion wax :). I do have protection on the front of the rear fenders. Currently, I'm at 5,000 miles and the paint still looks killar. Here's a shot of it's garage companion - same old fashion shine (that paint job is 15 years old)

    MYLR real world mileage?

    I have had my Y since early May. I'm pleased on all levels with this vehicle. I'm an old fart who grew up in the 60's loving cars. I've had way too many cars in my life - from Trucks, Motorhomes, BMWs, Cadillacs to VW beetles and CJ5 Jeeps. This is the best road car and hot rod ever. Oh...

    Do you think Tesla is limiting the MYP's launch performance to not compete with the M3P

    Here's how I see it. Ford launched a vehicle: A) without a robust charging network or solution, B) using a conventional approach to vehicle sales (which blow chunks) and C) have used traditional business thought process towards design/executuion. D) runs a lot os ads about the "new" eMustang...

    Swivel Screen : Warranty Issues

    I am using a temporary solution until I'm motivated to pull the bracket out and add a set screw that I can access from above.

    Yes, they seem to be all the same. You can move left to right and it will hold the angle set for a while. My pivot tension slowly went away and it moved too easily (for my taste). I have locked it into a stationary position as there is no reason to adjust once I found my ideal spot. The...
