    Did I damage my vehicle trying to use this lift puck?

    Did you try the puck in all four holes and, if so, did they all show the same condition?

    What are your home electricity rates?

    My rate varies from month to month due to fuel cost recovery variation as well as a half dozen other items that come and go. So it’s been $.09-$.12 for the past year or so. I prefer to exclude the fixed customer charge when thinking about EV charging and just consider charges that are per kWh.

    Model Y Wiper replacements?

    As a left handed person I strenuously object to your comment.

    Tesla Owners, Let's Talk: Touchscreen vs. Physical Buttons - What's Your Take?

    I haven’t had any trouble with the touchscreen. When I drive my wife’s Lexus I can’t believe how many buttons it has. It takes three or four button presses to set the cruise for example. I’m quite happy with the Model Y controls.

    Toyota Ammonia Engine

    There is pretty much nothing in the current petroleum transportation fuels infrastructure that is compatible with ammonia, except I suppose the real estate. Even that is in question when you consider the hazmat disaster potential from leaks. Everything is much heavier and requires specialized...

    New feature?

    The supercharger overbilled me because it had an incorrect time! Tesla declined my complaint!

    In my experience, less than one minute. My wife has our credit card set to send her a text any time a “card not present “ charge goes through, like at a SC where they hit the card on file. It’s how she knows it’s time to return to the car.

    2023 June Model Y horn not working after heavy rain

    Happened to me while still under warranty. Mobile tech came out and replaced the horn in my driveway. He set the old horn aside and I picked it up and turned it over- and a couple of tablespoons of water poured out.

    2023 Model Y Puck size (austin build)

    I would try to get one with a snug enough fit to not fall out. If I already had one and the fit was too loose I’d just wrap it with electrical tape or something until it fit the way I want.

    Charging Goes from 32A to 16A

    Take a look at the contact surfaces in the handle and the cars charge port. Are they brown/black nasty looking? This buildup can increase the resistance in the connection making it heat up and cause the system to throttle down the amps. If you feel competent you turn off power at the breaker...

    Tire Road Hazard Warranty?

    My MYLR had a nail in the first 300 miles I had it, June ‘21. Small nail middle of the tread. Tire store gave me the same story about the glue on the foam, incompatible, etc. but they patched it with no guarantee. That was over 30,000 miles ago. Don’t sweat it.

    Finally drove a Model Y…it was incredible!!

    MYLR here. I drive fairly fast on the interstate, ie mostly left lane very few passing me but not much faster than the flow. I see a lot more Tesla’s of all types these days but not many going particularly fast. Get it out of your system and you find chill mode to be plenty.

    Model Y front windshield replacement

    I had a crack from a stone impact. Called my insurance company who verified my no-deductible coverage on windshield glass. The agent transferred my call to Safelite who gave me the option of taking the car to their nearest shop or doing it in my driveway. I opted to take it to the shop. I think...

    Are you paying for premium connectivity?

    I think it goes to TuneIn but I just hit the right button and say “Play podcast Stuff You Should Know” and it pulls up the screen where you can pick the episode you want.

    iPhone Mini Charging?

    I have an iPhone 13 mini and I just leave a pen at the bottom of the pad. It pushes the phone up enough to make contact with the charger. Works fine for me.

    Are you paying for premium connectivity?

    I gladly pay for it. There’s a ton of music options, traffic and satellite views are nice, and I like using the verbal commands like “Play podcast Stuff You Should Know”.

    Fix that buzzing sound with this one weird trick! [try using a tone generator app to find]

    That’s some genius level diagnostic skill! Well done!

    Thoughts and experience of 110 volt charging

    Probably not a good idea to charge to 100% and leave it that way for an extended period. Let us know in a year after exclusively supercharging what your range loss is.

    EV6 to a Model Y

    Thanks for the thoughtful analysis. We all eventually benefit from the quality competitors in the mix. The improvement curve is getting steeper.

    oem tire valve caps, performance uber wheels...are they aluminum from factory?

    A little off topic but the other day I added air to my tires, 19” Gemini with gray plastic caps, and noticed one of them was hard to get the air chuck seated to add the air. I got it to the proper pressure anyway and forgot about it. Next day I got a low pressure warning from that tire. When I...

    Regrets [Anyone regret trading in their ICE for their Tesla?]

    I traded in my 2014 Audi Q5 TDI for a 2021 MYLR received 6/6/21. After dealing with dieselgate “fixes”, DEF system failures(three), etc. I have NO regrets. Even though the Audi had a warranty for 120k miles and they threw about $13k at me, and I loved that car before they neutered it, my Tesla...

    Bad news for those who delayed until 1/1

    I can't believe it won't be immediately challenged in court. Pandering for those blocks of union votes. BBB in its present form is toast anyway.

    Windshield repair/replacement in metro PDX?

    I got hit by a rock and needed a new windshield. Used the app to schedule replacement at SC. My nearest SC apparently had no availability so they offered an appointment at a SC 100 miles away in Indianapolis, in two weeks. So I called my insurance company who told me I have $0 deductible and...

    Smashed insects on the front of the Y

    I took delivery of my MYLR on June 6 in Cincinnati which happened to be at the peak of the 17 year cicadas. That first week of joy was tempered by nightly BIG bug splat cleanups. Nothing since then has come close to that experience. Used most of a bottle of Meguiars Quick Detailer.

    Cargo liner that isn't a slip-n'-slide?

    I just bought a carpeted rubber backed mat at Menards for $35 and cut it to fit using the covers as a pattern . It stinks for a month but things don't easily slide around. Cheap and effective.

    Tesmanian Floor Mats

    I just got the Tesmanian mats for my MYLR. I put the out in the sun for thirty minutes before installing them. They fit fine and don’t smell. I think they’ll do the job just fine and the Shiba fur should be a lot easier to deal with than carpet.

    2500 miles in and now my tire has a puncture. Local Tire shop won’t touch it.

    Foam lined tires are just as repairable as conventional tires, just a few more steps.

    2500 miles in and now my tire has a puncture. Local Tire shop won’t touch it.

    I got a flat the first week with 400 miles on the clock. Couldn’t find the leak until I removed the tire. Nail was gone but you could still see the impression of the head and the tiny hole. Took it to tire shop and they called and said they patched it but they couldn’t guarantee the repair...

    I pick it up June 7! My trade offer expired but when I sent in the updated odometer reading the new offer came back higher than the first one, so lucky me.

    Current Delivery Times

    I’m wondering about that too. I’m going to have to scramble to get insurance and whatever form of payment they’ll accept early next week. I texted my SA last week about forms of payment and didn’t get a response

    This is why an electric car is better that people don't seem to talk about much.

    Another positive aspect of EV's vs. ICE vehicles that I have never seen discussed much is the benefit of zero emission vehicles in dense urban areas that are prone to high pollution levels due to weather patterns, geography, and the concentration of point and mobile emission sources. Switching...

    Current Delivery Times

    My account page now says “Prepare for Delivery” with a recap of the information I uploaded initially (drivers license, pics of trade-in, etc.) but no date or VIN. Should I be looking somewhere else for more info? I ordered a blue MY LR on 4/22 in Cincinnati

    Hi all. I might as well jump in with my story. I ordered a MY blue, black interior, no FSD, no hitch on Earth Day 4/22. Cincinnati. Date range jumped around for the first couple of weeks as late as June 30 and not earlier than May 27. For the past week it’s been “6-10 weeks after order...
