    Tesla replacing ultrasonic sensors with Tesla Vision

    I have read this in a couple of places; https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/10/after-cutting-radar-tesla-now-dropping-ultrasonic-sensors-from-its-evs/ this would seem like a big change and Im not really sure how the camera’s would even work. If the Tesla had a front bumper mounted camera and...

    Vendor Teslogic — Mobile Instrument Cluster for Tesla Model 3/Y

    got mine. Very easy install. Worked as advertised. funny thing tho, I will never use it. having the speed displayed literally 8 inches from the regular spedo just seemed unnecessary.

    Tesla White Seats-Normal wear and tear

    Hey! Im in shape thank you very much!

    Tesla White Seats-Normal wear and tear

    So the mobil service tech just left. He agreed it was not normal wear and tear and replaced the bottom seat cushion and cover. Of course, the replacement seat cover had a 7 inch cut in the side which he discovered when he was preparing for the install. So, I will need another appointment to...

    Tesla White Seats-Normal wear and tear

    It’s on the side of the drivers side seat. on the door side.

    Tesla White Seats-Normal wear and tear

    The reason I asked if anyone else is seeing this was to try and determine if its common or I have a defective seat. So far nobody's seats are cracking. Im hoping its just a bad batch of pleather I got. Tesla should be here anytime. We'll see if they replace it.

    Tesla White Seats-Normal wear and tear

    They can replace just the bottom cushion for 800.

    Tesla White Seats-Normal wear and tear

    yeah, they will be here on friday. They are fighting me on it of course. We'll see. Just wanted to understand if anyone else is seeing this.

    Tesla White Seats-Normal wear and tear

    Hi All. Was wondering if anyone else’s white seats are exhibiting the wear depicted in the video. The side, where the seat compresses when you get in and out of the car, is cracking. I would expect some creasing but here, the white top layer looks to be defective. Like maybe it wasnt cured...

    Blind spot and screen delay

    My camera seems to be pretty accurate in displaying where cars actually are. Not seeing any lag.

    Elon: Working on Tesla NA Service. Goal of having 2/3 of cars have same day service w/ no wait.

    I waited two days for a hood alignment. I brought my car in when the SA opened and the guy told me they were already backed up and it would probably be the next day. That turned into two days. I imagine that’s what he’s talking about. The reservation system is obviously overloading thr SA’s.

    Ioniq 5 vs Model Y

    Two very different points. While I don’t like not having car play I understand that tesla doesn’t want to offer it. Hyundai offers it but does it half assed. If you’re going to offer car play with a wireless phone charger then make car play wireless. Seems pretty simple to me. Especially...

    Ioniq 5 vs Model Y

    The I5 is a nice car, but its not there yet. If I were Hyundai or any other OEM/Legacy car maker I would replicate Tesla’s PAK functionality to the letter. The fact that you cant walk away from the car and have it auto lock is unacceptable IMO. The fact that they built NFC into the car but...

    Ongoing Improvements

    Two functions of my MY that have improved significantly in the last month or so; -Windshield Wipers-The auto setting was so frustrating in light misty rain. Usually, the wipers wouldnt activate as my windshield got covered and I would have to manually activate to get them to turn on. This has...

    Tesla Service

    Just had a service appointment and all in all it was seamless. Had a few minor issues to deal with (for the most part, they were) and dropped my car off when it first opened on Friday. Tesla gave me $400 worth of Uber credits because they the said there was an outside chance I would not get my...

    Ioniq 5 vs Model Y

    On one hand you’re right, on the other hand you can buy one today if you want. You can’t buy a new Tesla.

    Mobile Charger no longer included

    Makes zero sense that it could be sold out through, right? Tesla was including them with every vehicle and they sold over 300,000 last quarter. How the heck could they be out of stock?

    Steering wheel off center but alignment in spec?

    Picked mine up in August and noticed this right away. Mine seems to be worse at highway speeds. It’s probably leaning about a half inch to the right. At lower speeds it’s pretty dead center. Just made a service appointment so we’ll see what happens.

    What's everyone's electricity bill increase to/by?

    Driving 1200 miles per month and paying roughly .21 kwh with an efficiently of 266Wh/mi I’m spending around 70 a month. Comapared to my old Grand Cherokee I would have spending around 230 a month. Pretty dam good. Also, picked up my MY in August. So 50% of that lifetime efficiency was in the...

    Lots of refinement between 2020 and 2022 Model Y

    My panel gaps look pretty good. My hood was slightly out of aligment but Tesla fixed it up fairly well. Everything else has worked great.

    Lots of refinement between 2020 and 2022 Model Y

    I’ve accepted the fact that Elon isn’t giving us CarPlay even though I think its a legit safety issue for exactly what you described. At least give us an app for Apple Music and XM Radio, just like we have for Spotify. That would make it so much better. My rattles come and go. Sometimes I...

    Lots of refinement between 2020 and 2022 Model Y

    Yeah. I subscribed just to check it out. The lane change should absolutely be part of basic auto pilot. IMHO.

    Lots of refinement between 2020 and 2022 Model Y

    I thought the rattles were part of the Tesla experience? My rattles seem to be moving around my car. Never at the same place. Sometimes it’s behind the dash, sometimes the back seat, sometimes in the door. It’s exciting because I never know where the next rattle will come from. Took delivery 7...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    As a former Mach e owner and current MY owner I would go with the MY. The only thing about the Mach e I miss is car play. Fords OTA’s are a hot mess.

    Ioniq 5 vs Model Y

    I test drove it and am seriously considering but there are some issues that is causing me to hold off. -No wireless car play/android auto. This just makes no sense and makes me question Hyundai’s philosophy. -phone as key doesn’t work on IPhone. 80% market share in the US and Hyundai doesn’t...

    Why CarPlay?

    Yes, that’s right. I hold Tesla to a different standard though. It’s easy to use other music sources when you’re home working out.

    Why CarPlay?

    I’ve come to realize that Idon’t need CarPlay. What I need is for Tesla to create the same thing they have for Spotify for Apple Music and XM. Unless Tesla is ivensted with Spotify there is no reason not to enable this. My tonal let’s me link my Apple Music account. So does peloton. It’s...

    Charge Stats feature in latest Tesla mobile app

    The only thing I wish they would add is user defined mpg. It’s based on 28 mpg (?) which is too high. I’m coming from an suv and I was getting around 20. So my saving is understated.

    Replacing 2020 CR-V with 2022 Model Y

    The wheelbase on the model y is like 114 inches which is 10 inches more than the CRV. Really makes a difference on the interior.

    Driver door contours not matching up to rear door. SC tech said in spec?

    Yeah. Mine looks just like tat in the passenger side. Passenger front door also needs a little more force to ensure it closes. My hood is off a little bit too. I’ve gotten used to it.

    Xpel Stealth Installed - White

    Looks great. Would you mind sharing what they charged?

    Dead Pedal

    A good set of all weather floor mats would probably achieve a similar result.

    Anyone figure out how to minimize the media bar to the smallest size so that it just shows what’s playing? It’s either full screen of a quarter of the screen.

    Auto Highbeams Improved?

    They have always worked as expected however when they are activated. The issue I have is I have to keep turning auto high beams on. The setting doesn’t seem to stick.

    2021.36.8 Adds Remote Sentry Live Footage on App

    Either way. Your phone showing 5g is irrelevant.

    2021.36.8 Adds Remote Sentry Live Footage on App

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure your signal strength is not relevant. Its whatever carrier the car is using and how strong a signal its getting at that particular location. For the intended purpose, I still think its sufficient.

    Anticipation: What Accessories Did You Buy Before Delivery?

    If your living in a state that requires a front Liscence plate, I would suggest the slip stream. Got it off amazon. Very good product just a little pricey.

    Price Increase! Base Y price up $2,000 to $56,990...

    It’s crazy. When I ordered mine in July, I paid 54,990 for MYLR with tow hitch, standard white exterior, Gemini wheels and white interior. Needed to keep the price below 55K to qualify for 2K NJ rebate. I wouldnt buy it now. It’s a full 7K more expensive considering the rebate.

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    I bought the Mach e in Mid July and flipped it three months later for a nice profit that I used as a down payment on the MY. The mache e was nice but the technology was not close to the Tesla. The PAAK was totally unreliable which I found to be totally unacceptable. Especially considering the...

    Model Y DIY Xpel Ultimate PPF

    I bought Xpel PPF based on bearded tesla guy’s recommendation. It was a total disaster. I watched numerous YouTube video’s, purchased some squeegees and spray bottles for my tack and slip spray. Got the PPF off the paper backing and started on the left side. Within 5 minutes i was cursing...

    Big New Update

    Yes. I found that post and was able to fix the issue as well. During the update, those two windows stopped dropping when the door was opened. I almost broke the window as I opened the door and glass was still stuck in the top.
