    Dead Polestar 2 at Enterprise Rent-A-Car

    Was dropping off my ICE rental car last evening when I spotted a Polestar 2 sitting outside of an Enterprise Rent-A-Car office (north of Pittsburgh). Initially, I was really excited to see one in the wild, and I took a couple of pictures. But then I took a closer look. As shown in one of the...

    Range Decrease Following Update to 2022.4.5

    Ugh. I now recall that I used a Supercharger last Saturday for the first time since September. I only charged to 85% but needed to do it quicker than at home as I needed to leave for a day-long trip. After seeing your response, I am wondering if the mysterious "recalibration" process might be...

    Range Decrease Following Update to 2022.4.5

    my comment on your results is actually a question... how have you been able to keep your range in the 320's for the first 10K miles? Mine dropped into the 310's at 2K and had been steady since until this week.

    Range Decrease Following Update to 2022.4.5

    Original equipment on my MYLR were the 20 inch induction. I swapped them out at 6,100 miles for 19 inch Gemini wheels/tires as winter approached and I wanted to have a decent set of tires for winter driving. So on my chart, you would be able to see that they really had little effect on the...

    Range Decrease Following Update to 2022.4.5

    I received software update 2022.4.5 on 2/12. Per TeslaFi, the estimated range of my MYLR has dropped about 7 miles following that update. Yes, I recognize that it's only been a few days, and that other factors might be at play, but it's something that is visible to me when I look at the chart...

    Model Y 1350 mile Road Trip/Charging report

    I completed my first road trip last weekend in my MYLR. 809 miles roundtrip from Pittsburgh PA to Lexington KY. A long single-day experience that left me ultra satisfied with the choice to buy a Tesla. I did the trip solo, as my wife didnt want to burn her day driving to Kentucky to pick up a...

    Wanting SiriusXM on the Model 3/Y

    These add-on Sirius radios require an external antenna (a small 2x1x1 inch black cube with magnetic mount). The radios come with such an antenna along with a 25-foot wire with connector. I have used several types of these external antennas over the years (been Sirius subscriber since 2005) and...

    Wanting SiriusXM on the Model 3/Y

    What about streaming SiriusXM via your phone and using Bluetooth? I did a 14-hour drive yesterday and streamed two full length football games without a problem. Made the day go much nicer! Just make sure that you’ve got an unlimited phone plan.

    I got my inspection at Hartman's Firestone in Cranberry Twp. My SA suggested to me that they had been sending folks there. I was able to make early morning appointment and was in and out in less than 30 minutes.

    I did complete a survey following delivery. I emphasized the total lack of information available to the SA's and buyers, and that it was a totally avoidable drag on the overall buying experience. I think that it was wise of Tesla to wait a week post-delivery to ask as driving the car for a few...

    That you are to receive a new car with VIN 210*** at this time is interesting. My MYLR was manufactured on 6/14 (per windshield sticker I saw) and it's at the tail-end of the 210*** sequence. I am thinking that your car could have been manufactured first or second week of June. Betting that...

    Heated Steering Wheel - Disabled ???

    Hi, here's a newbie question. I have a 2021 MYLR VIN 210*** running 2021.4.18.10. I know that it's the middle of summer but today for some reason I wanted to exercise my voice command skills and I asked that the heated steering wheel be turned on. The on-screen reply that I received is that...

    I can report that in the case of my car, the journey from manufacture to it`s arrival in Pittsburgh was just 10 days. On June 24 the car was sitting in the SC lot after its arrival via truck from Chicago (SA tracked it in Chicago the day before). The car still had the windshield bar code...

    Provided Mobile Connector Power Use Questions - Standard Outlet

    Here’s a screenshot from my Stats app. The charging is happening at 242wh/mi. As you said, the driver and conditions would dictate how efficiently the energy is used.

    Provided Mobile Connector Power Use Questions - Standard Outlet

    I believe that 1kw of charge should give you about 4 miles of travel distance. Here in PA, I am paying 12.3 cents per kw, so I would be paying about 3 cents per mile. You would be paying slightly less than that in NC if I am reading the thread correctly.

    I took my MYLR on a four lane highway over the weekend and encountered the phantom braking. If I had not read about the phenomenon on this board, I would have been scared out of my mind. It occurred as i passed under a bridge, and there was an aggrevating factor involved - a disabled vehicle...

    I'm feeling like a little kid on Christmas Eve right now. I stopped by the SC this afternoon and found that my MYLR had been delivered there earlier today, just in time for my pick-up appointment at 12:30pm tomorrow. Found it by walking around the lot looking for a VIN match. The passenger...

    Wahoo! I got the "schedule your delivery" text this evening! I will be taking delivery this coming Friday afternoon. Here's hoping that some of my Pittsburgh friends will be sharing the truck that it will be arriving on. Kind of an odd change occurred with the scheduling. When the text came...

    I agree. When the change was announced, it just didn't make sense to me that a decision was purposely made to reduce the number of active sensors that are there to form the safety umbrella for the car. Even if the radar was not the primary input to autopilot and/or FSD decision making, it IS a...

    Whew! Just matched with an inventory car already en route to Wexford. VIN 210***. Had to make the change to 20in wheels, which I was OK to do. SC reports that it should be in town in about 10 days. Super pumped!

    I just got back from my local SC, where I had a conversation re:the topic that you are commenting on. Insofar as a SA proactively matching cars, there is almost no opportunity for them to do that as there currently are only a few unmatched cars nationally to match to - 2xMY nationally, for...

    Did you attempt to call into Tesla today to speak with someone about your order? In the telecom world, IVR is a term for an Interactive Voice Response system, which could have fielded your incoming call and tried to alert someone.

    Can someone point me to something that describes Tesla's shipping method from Fremont? Do they ship it end-to-end via truck or do they use rail in places to expedite cross-country deliveries (not trying to talk badly of the trucking industry just making an assumption that rail would be faster).

    I am in Pittsburgh but with a much later order date and little hope that I would get a VIN at this point. But I have been scanning for updates from the Pittsburgh folks and am seeing nothing. I am closeby to the service center and might visit after work to see if I can learn something.

    Is my Trade-In Status affecting my delivery date?

    My SA told me the same this today. Said that I still retained the ability to shop the car around for best trade-in deal.
