    Model Y cameras

    When on the camera screen you can swipe down to hide the 2 side cameras and only display the rear camera. Whoever was in the car before you must have done this. Had you swiped up on the screen the 2 side cameras would have returned on the MY.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    "Prototypes are easy, production is hard." -- E. Musk My prediction is, should the R2 come to market in 2026 the price will be around $65k (Rivian is already losing around $40k per R1x currently priced at $85k+). If the R3 ever does make it...

    How Accurate? Edmunds cost of ownership - link inside

    I will have had my MYLR for three years come April and I've had no repairs, out of pocket or under warranty. The only consumables I've replaced so far are the cabin air filter twice at $50 each time (I bought 3rd party carbon/HEPA filters, if I had purchased Tesla's filters it would have been...

    Are acoustic tires noticeably quieter?

    Correct-ish, a half inch thick piece of foam is invisible to all but the highest frequencies. A thunk would be a lower frequency. It's there to deal with frequencies more like the "ping" sound when you smack a red dodge ball (middle school PE trigger warning). As you stated it has no effect...

    Tried both the $90 Tesla Caps & $18 Amazon Caps

    Yes, I pull mine off with a small suction cup I got at Harbor Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/2-14-in-15-lb-suction-cup-lifter-59688.html

    Tried both the $90 Tesla Caps & $18 Amazon Caps

    The Gemini wheel kit used to be overpriced at $50. $90 is just bonkers.

    Is Tesla's "estimated 3-year gas savings" claim misleading?

    I agree, it is stupid to show this as part of the pricing for the car. But I will also concede that it was not misleading in my case. I drive around 12,000 miles per year. My total cost for charging in 2022 was $435 and $455 for 2023. I charge at home 50 weeks out of the year, and 2 weeks...

    Pressing the Park Button While Driving

    Tapping the park button wont do anything. Pressing and holding the park button while moving is a form of emergency braking. From the owner's manual.... If an alternative method is needed to bring the vehicle to a stop, press and hold the Park button on the drive stalk to apply the brakes and...

    How thorough is Tesla trade in inspection for non-Tesla vehicles?

    I guess it could vary from location to location, but when I traded in my Ford Explorer (in 2021), it was inspected by my sales advisor. I highly doubt he was a certified auto mechanic. He looked the car over cosmetically versus the pictures submitted and verified the mileage on the car was...

    Tesla PPF?

    I ordered and installed them myself when I got my car back in 2021. They are not hard to install. If I recall they come with the squeegee, you just need to mix up some slip solution to spray on them for installation. (Slip solution is just a spray bottle with water and a little bit of...

    2023 Model Y vibration

    @vishushri I think you are commingling a couple of the terms they threw around at your service visit. There is a "wheel alignment" and "road force balancing," but no such thing as "forced road alignment". First, for future reference, don't ever go to Tesla for a wheel alignment. They charge...

    Another nail, another day

    A tire shop is not going to patch that, its too close to the sidewall. I'm in a similar situation. I have a nail in my tire that is within the patchable area, but my tire is below 3/32" of tread left, so the tire shop would not patch it. I'm also at almost 30k mi on my tires, so when I...

    low-voltage battery & cold weather

    The story around the incident in Chicago was heavy on FUD and short on FAQs. I dont think the issue these people were facing was related to the 12v battery. If the 12v battery was zapped by the cold, they wouldn't have been able to get into their cars in the first place. I didn't see anyone...

    Ordering tires "OE Designation" option?

    Rear fan not blowing heat?

    Are you checking the vents in the center console or the vents under the front seats? (Also, Tesla does not send any air to the back seats if no one is sitting back there. You can explicitly turn on the rear vents when the seats are unoccupied thru the climate control screen on the front touch...

    Dumb question I know….how do you unlock the doors?

    Check your unlock settings. You can influence this behavior. Unlock all doors vs unlock only driver first. Driver Door Unlock Mode Enabling Controls > Locks > Driver Door Unlock Mode only unlocks the driver door when you first unlock Model Y. The driver door unlocks only if a key is present...

    2023 MYP 800 miles bad computer

    Common? No. Bummer on your new car experience? Definitely. Worst thing that could have happened in the grand scheme of things? Not even close. If there is a manufacturing defect with an electronic component, they tend to fail quickly, as you experienced. The service tech will swap it out...

    Climate control issues

    The interior temperature sensor is on the underside of where the center screen is mounted to the dash (directly above the divider on the charging pads). Put your temperature probe in that general area and see what reading you get. If it is still way off when measured here, try rebooting the...

    2023 S/W Holiday Update

    If the past is any predictor (and with Tesla 🤷‍♂️ ), it will be v2023.44.25.x and it will be released around Dec 20 ± 5 days. Usually there is one or more new games. Usually there is something silly with a 50/50 chance of the NHTSA telling Tesla to disable it 3 months later. I'm thinking...

    Charging issue

    Do you know someone else with a Tesla that you can try your mobile connector on? If both cars experience the same issue, then that would isolate it to the mobile connector. Maybe a bad communication pin?

    Map like Waze

    In a recent twitter post, greentheonly said he spotted some "waze-like" functionality in the works, but it appears to be based on camera detection rather than user input. (But I agree, it would be nice to have some of those Waze features) Tesla is making enough money now, and has plenty in...

    No dashcam footage captured for a collision

    A 3rd way to save the footage is press the right scroll wheel (voice command) and say "save that." I use it all the time when I see someone driving erratically, just in case an accident happens shortly thereafter.

    unfortunate scratch- TYIA

    A lot of that looks like paint transfer. WD-40, a microfiber towel, and a lot of rubbing may take a lot of that off. The next step would be to try the Meguiar's ScratchX. I never bought the kit, but I have purchased just the ScratchX at Walmart and had good success with it. It's not going...

    Precondition vs HVAC

    Do you have an iPhone? In a recent update to the iOS app, they added Tesla functions to the Shortcuts app. Perhaps you could disable preconditioning under scheduled charging in your car and just create a timed iOS Shortcut that starts preconditioning at your preferred time.

    How to open model y after collision

    Do you know if the first responders (fire fighters) cut the first responder loop and cut the negative lead to the 12v battery? If so, you may have to wait until the car is at a repair shop and 12v power restored before you can open the doors and access the glovebox. Alternatively, if the car...

    Battery replacement - future focused question

    Yes, it's actually been around for quite some time now.

The reality is, most battery failures that currently happen, happen within Tesla's...

    Unsolved rattle mysteries.

    Interior rattles tend to materialize at a particular resonant frequency. You'll hear people say, "when I'm driving at XX mph, I hear a rattle/squeak in my car I cant isolate." By playing a tone thru the cars audio, you can make the car vibrate at different frequencies that simulate the same...
