I believe it is a bug as well. My 2022 Model Y had GPS failure, no cameras, etc. immediately after a software update. The service center replaced the car computer, which fixed it, and the problem did not return. But I don't think the computer hw was the root cause. it is too much of a...

Did only the navigation fail? Or did cameras and active safety features also fail?

Good luck! I had cameras and GPS fail. MCU replacement (Ryzen) was the fix.

I have an appointment scheduled for Tuesday, but I went in person to talk to the Service Center on Saturday to see if they can take me in early. They said come first thing Monday and they’ll fit me in. Last night (Sunday) I wanted to see if maybe a 12v reset and a HV reset might do the trick...

While your GPS was not working, were the cameras affected?

I have a 2022 Model Y LR, and this just happened to me yesterday. Thursday night (17 Aug 2023) the vehicle received SW update 2023.26.8, Friday morning (18 Aug 2023) at some point during the morning drive GPS stopped working, all cameras stopped working, auto headlights stopped working, etc. so...

Yup, when I lived in Georgia and sunny southern CA, the wipers lasted about 3 years on average for me. Since moving to Boston, with the amount of rain, snow, grime/dirt, salt, etc. they now last about 9 months. I believe from what others have posted, Tesla uses Bosch as their wiper blade...

Yup! The Tesla OEM wiper blades work great. I’m also a big fan of Rain-X Latitude wiper blades. Previously I never had an issue with Costco Michelin wiper blades with my other car, but I guess Model Y wiper arms are more powerful than what Michelin designed them for. I see now that...

This is for the 2022 Model Y. A couple months ago I purchased two sets of Michelin Guardian Hybrid wiper blades, 26" for the driver side and 20" for the passenger side. I installed these the Model Y using the narrow push tab/button adapter on Wednesday 24 May 2023. When I gave it a quick swipe...

Great advice, but DT/AT does not operate in the northeast for some reason. I've lived in Washington, Colorado, Georgia, California, etc. and always loved having a Discount/America's Tire nearby, always. But in Massachusetts, none are to be found in the state (and neighboring states). So while...

Great tip about getting Tesla BT TPMS on eBay! Looks like the gray market for these is alive and well. Too bad I didn't know about it, and ended up overpaying for them on Tesla.com. Oh well, they last 10+ years so it's basically a one time expense. Also, I've previously had great experience...

Awesome to hear about good performance from your Michelin X-Ice Snow! I have them on my 2015 Prius and they are excellent. But you're totally right about Costco, what a pain in the ass. Really unfortunate that we don't have Discount Tire / America's Tire in the northeast.

Great question! I didn’t ask because they were adding hours of work to my day, and I got out of there quickly just to get on with it. Logically speaking, I see no reason why they would withhold benefits. Road hazard coverage should be completely unaffected by Tesla TPMS vs Costco TPMS. But on...

Living outside Boston, winter tires are definitely highly recommended, and I would say a necessity for someone like me that 1 enjoys skiing on the weekends and 2 occasionally must go to work in person regardless of weather. I wanted to build an 18 inch setup for more sidewall height, lighter...

Thanks! While not as exciting and not as highly anticipated as the first Model Y, the car is just a great replacement for the 2006 Honda Accord. The QC defects also don’t concern me nearly as much this time around, having experienced Tesla service experience. They’re not great but they always...

Yup! Picked it up Friday. Smooth delivery experience but this one came with more serious QC defects. Fit and finish perfect, drives perfect (except for issue #2 below). 1. LH wiper arm was not assembled or aligned correctly, so it extends too far, off the windshield when it wipes at its highest...

How many days ago did you switch to Performance? I would wait a few business days to update.

Thank you! This is going to be my second Model Y, so really I am in no rush. And I think a Model S would be a fantastic addition.

EDD update. Was June 28 to August 09, now July 18 to August 22. 20-day slip. Still a 35-day spread. Here is the full EDD history, so far: 1 Dec: taken off hold, TBD 22 Jan: May 01 to May 29; 28-day spread 22 Feb: June 11 to July 09; 28-day spread 4 May: June 28to August 09; 35-day spread 12...

As of yesterday, May 24, the fence has been removed, and looks like electricians are out on the job site actively working on the cabinets and stalls

Any issues using autopilot on studded tires when there's there's dry pavement for the car to see the lanes? I don't have first hand experience with studded tires, but heard that autopilot may be calibrated for friction tires and can do some wonky stuff while driving on studded.

+ @Jkwan @JJ777 @Payjack So Thursday night (12 May) at 9:01PM I received a Tesla email alarmingly titled "Your Upcoming Model Y Order Cancellation RN..." so I immediately clicked the "I'm Ready" button. The EDD did not change, still at Jun 28 to Aug 09. Seems like an effort to weed out the...

Probably I'm preaching to the choir, but I think with a Model Y true winter tires are a necessity if you deal with real winter conditions. I found that my Model Y steering feel is a bit more isolated and disconnected than what I've been used to with older cars. Just a tad less communication...

Did anyone's order just get placed on hold? Mine just got placed on hold automatically for some reason.

EDD update! Was June 11 to July 9, now it is June 28 to August 9

@DrGriz I posted last month the exact part that kept coming loose, for reference :) Current Delivery Times

It’s possible what I experienced is worse than usual, but certainly Tesla service horror stories are dime a dozen. My delivery experience was pretty much as bad as it gets, but the only saving grace was that the car was in excellent shape. The rear faceplate never fastened properly, and one...

Like others have said, the rear license plate mount is fine. I just replaced my plate frame because I find the chrome obnoxious, which is totally a personal taste. I got weather tech / Tesla floor liners and they work great, but I cannot say they’re clearly better than Tasmanian because I did...

So I had my first service appointment yesterday through mobile service. This was to fix the center console rear plate (with USB ports and rear air vents) which was loose. Scheduled time for mobile service was between noon to 4pm. I took the afternoon off in order to accommodate. At 3pm the...

As soon as I get pulled over for not having a front license plate, I’m getting a quick bandit :cool: But in the meantime, my local police (very, very, small town police dept outside of Boston) doesn’t care and I drive by and wave to them on a regular basis, it’s always the same officer assigned...

Some random thoughts about the 12v battery situation one month into Model Y ownership. Yes, the car is awesome in too many ways to list, these are thoughts around the 12v only. 1. My comparatively ancient 2015 Prius had a stock li-ion 12v from the factory. After 95k miles and 7 years of use...

What was your estimate at time of order, and was your profile completed immediately at time of order?

I did the exact same thing. Took off the obnoxiously chrome license plate bracket and got a black silicone plate frame from Amazon instead. In my other car I realized after 95,000 miles of road vibrations that the dealership plate frame scratched the paint underneath. So I bought a two pack...

In the past having a hitch did not significantly impact delivery times, but changing config sets one back significantly. But need we need a new datapoint.

Just got my license plates and vehicle registration today. Exactly 28 days after delivery appointment, and it came by UPS. Just in time too, as the temp tag expires tomorrow! Also my car got pushed the 2022.3.101.1 software update. Pretty neat! The save dash cam clip button is now (back) on the...

Agreed, we’re not quite ready (yet) to open the floodgates, probably. And you are certainly correct, we have directly paid into the buildout of the Supercharger network! Right now, we benefit from that “investment”, because that is only fair so no shame in admitting that.

Yeah, in the grand scheme it's not a big deal, and they're ready to replace the console rear vent panel assembly I guess, along with clips and fasteners. I'm very lucky. Waiting four weeks for some interior cosmetic trim is nbd. But, if say, my heat pump needed service and they pulled this on...

Supercharging is truly awesome. I've only used it a grand total of one time, but it was reliable, plentiful, and simply works. I think in the long term, over the coming years having a closed off Supercharging network won't make sense. It'd be like if Shell stations only accepts Toyota. In the...

Update on my update. Originally my mobile service appointment was set for noon yesterday (9 March). The night prior, they messaged me via the Service tab of the Tesla app saying that they reviewed my description and photos and that additional parts will need to be ordered, so they rescheduled...

Agree, I think having a CCS adapter will be great! I'm not a Tesla fanboy, so I look forward to the day when we have true interoperability between Tesla and CCS charging standards, or better yet *gasp* just have a common chargeport type.

Mine says enabled. No idea what it means, because there is no official CCS adapter available in the US. I am aware of some people making unofficial CCS adapters work though.

On another note, for those that followed my adventures taking delivery, my check came in the mail from Tesla Fremont for the $217 for five days of rental car reimbursement. As per the usual Tesla style of doing business, there was zero communication but they got it done in the end. For those...

Nice, good to know! I have an appointment scheduled for mobile service on March 9, currently the car is in the shop for frontal PPF. I didn’t intend on getting PPF, just tint, but damn they’re good salesmen. I mentioned this in a previous post (Current Delivery Times) but the piece that’s loose...

Rally Armor! Easy to install (all you need is a flat and a Phillips screw driver) and great protection. No random pockets and cups which trap dirt.

Yup, that sounds about right, and I will most likely wait for the service tech. But also it's the top piece with the air vent and the USB ports that is loose, the bottom panel is secure. Either way, most likely secured via same method.

Aha! Bingo. Thank you for that info, so it should be a very easy fix for the mobile service technician. They must carry extra trim clips.

Hard to tell if there's a clip missing, but it sure feels like it. I pushed it back into place, but drive a couple of miles and it'll loosen right back up. It never "snaps" into place, rather it's always able to be moved - which leads me to believe it's defective. The driver side is solid, and...

Update on the Model Y, I have now discovered one defect. Fit and finish issue, as expected. Basically the rear side of the center console, faceplate of the rear air vent and USB ports, is not attached correctly on one side and works itself loose while driving. The driver side is secure, but the...

EDD update! Too busy having fun with my first Tesla to pay attention to the second Tesla on order. Was May 1 to May 29, now June 11 to July 9.

Fantastic! Congrats! I think the tire pressure is now buried under the service menu, or one of the lower menu items. You were also listening to Tesla Music Streaming app, which is okay, it’s included with Premium Connectivity so sort of “free”. I much prefer listening to Spotify, and the Tesla...
