    Cargo cover not as good as expected

    the foldable cargo cover is an engineering joke. how could you screw up a design this badly. It's basically unusable. Even the SC told me it's junk when I picked up the car. Looks nice..........just in the way because it won't retract. Comical

    Am I Being Quoted Too High For My Wall Connector Installation?

    I found tesla electricians were the worst for knowledge and price by far. They were the ones trying to use 8/3 wire and a 50amp breaker while charging double the standard rates. Shop around!

    If the Model Y was considered an SUV, would Tesla have dropped the price so much?

    yes but we had to finance it and cars would be a lot cheaper if they didn't have to make up for billions in debt.........the money to pay the debt inevitably comes from consumers

    If the Model Y was considered an SUV, would Tesla have dropped the price so much?

    businesses that are poorly operated should not survive. Canadians familiar with ICBC know what im talking about. Ford and GM are no different

    If the Model Y was considered an SUV, would Tesla have dropped the price so much?

    Ford and GM should have been driven out of business during the last recession instead of our tax dollars bailing them out so they can turn around and soak us for 15k over msrp on top of that

    Pickup problem in Oregon: by my brother, I'm abroad. Registration will be in WA. Tesla says impossible

    I had to fly in and pick it up in person. ZERO help from SC. They said they needed live signature from owner and registrant on site. SC can be pretty useless......but maybe you got a unicorn SC that will actually lift a finger?

    Tesla screwed us

    everyone who follows tesla saw this coming.......they did it in china months ago. But I admit I didn't see a 23% dump, maybe an initial 10-15% and then smaller incremental drops. Don't be surprised if we don't see another 10-15% dive again. Remember the model 3 was supposed to be 35K initially...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    I don't use AP at all anymore because it constantly disables due to "low visibility". completely useless. I worked better 2 yrs ago. If "vision only" works then fine, but Elon should experiment on his own time and money not ours

    Best Aggressive Wheel Offsets?

    295x35x21 back, 275xx35x21 front pretty much max without modifications. I see you have 20" so 305 might work on back but definitely not front

    FSD upgrades going foward

    I think that is why they raised the FSD price so much, to cover the free upgrades tesla knows it will eventually have to provide to legacy cars if FSD ever becomes useful...........doubt it.

    FSD upgrades going foward

    If they sold you a product they have to make it work or do whatever upgrades to make it work for free......or it's fraud. It said right in the advertising "all hardware is FSD ready". If im not mistaken tesla has already upgraded the screen or hardware from older telsa models that couldn't even...

    Western Canada Superchargers

    tesla needs to do something about the taxis taking up all the spots in kelowna. My car went completely dead waiting for a spot. I asked a taxi to move so I could at least get one minute charge to get home and he wouldn't saying "this is out home base, they built this for our taxis".........uh...

    Rear Tire Wear - Uberturbine 21" - MYP

    I just replaced mine and totally even wear until so bald one blew out. I ran most of the time 38 psi......as low as 36, high as 42. This tells me maybe some of the setups are a bit off.......just like panel gaps and other telsa assembly can be off etc.... I yes I can believe shops act lilke...

    Just got software update 2022.20.19

    if tesla needs beta testers so bad to build/fix their fsd then tesla should be paying the testers or least let them use it for free.........nope, the lab rats get to pay 19.5K to work for tesla. Gotta say it's a dandy scam Elon, well done

    Battery and range issues

    I would check it VERY closely then. Likely a rejected car from another customer if it has 200 miles already on it. Not considered a new car at that point

    Rear Tire Wear - Uberturbine 21" - MYP

    they overall don't look worn out. I would put them on the front and get 295x35x21 for the back

    Rear Tire Wear - Uberturbine 21" - MYP

    Definitely not normal on mine myp 2021 unless they changed the setup since then. The tires do wear fast and likely won't get more than 20-30,000 kms out of them but should wear pretty evenly

    How much do I save in fuel costs over ICE? A lot, but at times it really depends....

    depending on your driving needs tesla can be more expensive than ICE. Here's the crazy range $$....... BC canada, my home charging rate .09, supercharger rate anywhere from .44 to .66 and they charge by the minute rarely getting anything over 150kw speeds and mostly around half that. So if you...

    Aluminum wire for Tesla wall connector

    get a new electrician. This guy doesn't know what he's doing. The cost difference he is talking about is pennies and taking short cuts with wire.........red flags everywhere. He wants to use a 50 amp because he took it from someone elses house that replace a 50 with a 60amp breaker from a hot...

    Home charging options with full panel

Paperwork has to be filled out by a certified electrician qualified to pull a permit to do the work Required documentation Make sure you...

    Home charging options with full panel

    it doesn't matter how full your panel is, it's does matter what the draw is to determine what you have room for as far amperage. If your already drawing 190 amps on your panel then you don't have room for a charger. If you are drawing 100 amps then you have plenty of room for a 60 amp breaker as...

    Home charging options with full panel

    you are not allowed to wire a wall charger with a GFCI. You hard wire it directly to the panel. If you are tight for breaker space you might want to add a 100 amp subpanel

    Homelink for Model Y - Is it worth it?

    my door on tesla homelink will not close if something is blocking the door whether it's a person, car or anything else. There should be sensors at the bottom of the door on both sides that create an invisible beam across the door opening to detect an object........is this not standard, I don't know?

    Replacing 50 amp breaker with 60 amp?

    • If installing for maximum power, use minimum 6 AWG, 90° C-rated copper wire for conductors For maximum power output, install a standard double pole 60 amp circuit breaker. Wall Connector includes integrated GFCI protection - do not install a GFCI circuit breaker

    Battery steaming lately after charging? Is this normal? Just started after only 15,000KMS.

    supercharging or just level2. if it's level 2 there could be a problem. sometimes supercharging will smoke because it get's way hotter and there can be moisture from the overflow under the frunk. mine did this a few times around 15,000k

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    that is spot on. tesla has been raising prices for the last 2 years because the market is hot and nobody else can make a decent EV in volume yet at a decent price. This could change very quickly but until it does don't plan on tesla making any effort to conform to a tax credit

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    tesla is selling every car they can make. they aren't going to manipulate any pricing or features to fit a tax credit until they need to sell more cars.........no time soon. A tax credit isn't going to stop anyone from buying a tesla and that's all tesla TSLA cares about folks

    Tesla Model X quiz -What is wrong with my car?

    there is a certain procedure to jack a tesla and have to use pucks in certain places on the undercarriage to not damage it. a shop will often cause more damage than you took it in for because you always get a few lazy kids that just don't give a F. If it wasn't jacked properly you could have...

    Homelink for Model Y - Is it worth it?

    don't really care for hanging a bunch of accessories all over the place. It's like nails on a chalkboard for me when I see cell phone holders on the dash. maybe it's OCD. I like it clean, tidy and don't like things that look like they're not supposed to be there

    Homelink for Model Y - Is it worth it?

    yes tesla raised the price. used to be 300 USD and $400 CAD. now it's $450CAD. I tried to hold off and just use the clicker for awhile but bit the bullet and glad to have the convenience of not grabbing the clicker out of the console every time. Small convenience but adds up over time.

    Any Recommended Tesla EV Charger Installers in NYC?

    don't get a "tesla approved installer". that just means you will pay more. any electrician should be able to do it if they didn't get their license from a cracker jack box. 60A breaker and 6 AWG wire. should be $1000-$1500 usually including charger and everything...
