    DMV renewal fees breakdown

    My 23' MYLR renewal fee just came in. Was curious to understand what the breakdowns are about. And suprise to see a few things: Highlighted items do not exist on DMV site, and I have no clarity on what are these fees for. It's small but as a public agency, shouldn't they list all the misc fees...

    Safety restraint system fault - RCM2 a492

    It's a 2022 Model Y LR Any clue what is the possible fix? I read it could be just replacing: the sensor or the sensor + airbag or the sensor + airbag + seat It also doesn't specify which seat is having the issue like many other SRS alerts show..

    Driving in HOV lane without sticker

    I got letter size magenet sheet from Amazon, applied all 4 decals to the sheets and cut them out by myself, saved at least $50. In the end, when I need the decals, I put two large ones to the rear, and not putting the smaller ones to the front at all. So far 50+ commutes not a single issue. For...

    Just received my new car without ultrasonic sensors

    wow the concept of "island" is interesting not seen anyone else is doing this on EVs or large electronics. suprised got the true "care" from engineering team instead sales or customer service after all the journey 🤣

    Just received my new car without ultrasonic sensors

    I'm on 2022.40.100 since delivery and have not received any updates yet. Why Tesla updated some vechcles with USS and not updating the USS-less vehicles?

    When to start charging?

    Got it thanks. Instead of low state of charge like 20%, the battery should be at 50% whenever possible for optimal cycle life, so 40-60% is the most practical way of archiving it. I guess the practice that I really should avoid is "plugging in as often as possible" AND set limit too high. Now it...

    When to start charging?

    Good advice, I will prabobly start to charge as you suggested instead of charging right after parked to alleviate the grid demand. For some reason my Model X had significant degration over the years (charge whenever I park and 90% limit). I don't know if it's my charging practice or Tesla's...

    When to start charging?

    From personal experience of having a 2017 Model X. Five years and 48k miles, the battery degraded enough to a point where Tesla had to replace them in Octorber 2022 (under warrenty). The charging routine was: limit always set to 90% unless road trip, charge whenever parked at home (Wall...

    When to start charging?

    Thanks all for the inputs on this repeatly discussed topic. I’m in NorCal not much cold temp situation and no TOU so no optimal time and using Nema 14-50 @ 32A. Here is what I’m planning moving forward. Set charge limit to 60%. Whenever battery drops below 15%, start charge immediately after...

    When to start charging?

    I couldn't find anywhere from Tesla what is the best practice when it comes to charging. Let's say I don't need to worry about range (all trips are short) and I have access to charging every night in my garage. When Model Y drops to what percentage should I start to charge? Below 25%, 20%, 15%...

    aside from Tesla OEM, anyone compared the reliability between Lectron and Hansshow? These two can be still siginificantly cheaper than OEM with discounts

    Driving in HOV lane without sticker

    I have FasTrak CAV toll tag already. The CAV decals look ugly as hell and I want to get rid of them. Can I still drive on HOV lanes without these decals? (2 people and toll tag set to 2) Will cops pull over me for not having CAV decals? Thanks

    Model Y comfort suspension?

    The letter H F E only says about batch? Isn't "comfort" suspension comes with different numeric value?

    Model Y comfort suspension?

    If any of the complaints above were said by Tesla employees who even don’t work on these things. Elon will fire them. Along with true inovation with no competitors. it made Tesla a love or hate company.

    Model Y has anyone received 2023 VIN yet?

    One theory could be that all MYLRs should be non-matrix lights but occacionally the stock ran out so they borrowed some parts from MYP to make sure the out-of-stock situation does not cause any production delay.

    Getting a set of after market or even OEM matrix headlights once you have the car. MYLR exceeds MYP from ride quality to range and every other aspect as a daily car.

    Help - I don’t accept this car - Tesla won’t take it back

    The existence and high daily active users (DAU) of this forum is largely because of the inconsistent delivery experience and it's non-conventional yearly update model. Anything could happen between order day and delivery day 😀

    Help - I don’t accept this car - Tesla won’t take it back

    Yea tell us what are the reasons you don't want the car. Too many defects? Delivery person being unprofessional/sneaky? I don't think Tesla can take car back once it's being delivered so seems delivery person made false claim but also you sign the agreement whatever she said might not matter...

    Model Y has anyone received 2023 VIN yet?

    Built date is logged at the time of final inspection pass. VIN was assigned at the end of assembly line. Chances are your PF5886 got assembled earlier than PF590 but passed inspection later than PF590. Maybe some issues took them awhile to fix.
