I heard that Larry Chanin, the founder of the Florida Tesla Enthusiasts Club, and the starter of this thread passed away on Oct. 31, 2023. I've known Larry since a couple of years before he got one of the first Model S (Signature Edition) to make it out of Calif. RIP Larry

YES - The ChargePoint Home Flex can charge at up to 48 amps the same as the Tesla wall charger. In order to charge at that full rate the charger must be hard wired on a 60 amp circuit. However, it plugged into a 50 amp, 240V outlet the max. charge rate is limited to 42amps.

The Florida legislature is considering a bill that would unfairly penalize electric vehicle (EV) owners. Republican Senator Ed Hooper has proposed legislation (SB28) imposing a $200/yr tax on EVs starting in 2024 that would increase to $250/yr. starting in 2029. As an EV owner I have no issue...

The tax credit will probably drop from $7500 now to $3750 starting in Jan. 2024 and assuming the MSRP stays below $80K.

$7500 Federal tax credit, if you qualify, gets the net price down to $40K

Just got 2023.20.7 update yesterday. Any idea when 2023.26 will roll out?

IF your income and federal tax burden qualifies you for the max. tax credit, then the MY (AWD, LR or Performance) qualify for the full $7500 federal tax credit and that gets the price of the LR down to approx. $43K and the AWD to approx. $40K. Starting 1/1/24 the credit will be given thru Tesla...

Thanks - I missed they added that additional option under the display settings.

With my Model Y's most recent update (ver. 2023.12.5) the left steering wheel button now just opens the glove box when you depress it for a second or two and the list of available functions that could be controlled via that button/scroll wheel, that was introduce just a couple of weeks earlier...

For old folks like me, or anyone wearing glasses with progressive lens, the larger font really helps, I don't have to move my head around as much to find a point where the small text is in good enough focus to actually be able read it. I've always felt the very small text used by Tesla...

I have owned a 2022 MY for 11 months now and have an order in the system for a 2024 Lyriq. The prices recently came out for the 2024 Lyriq with the base price similar to the 2023 but with less standard features. For example super cruise was standard on the 2023 but now only comes with a...

For what it is worth, for my 2022 MY I'm using a 512GB Sandisk UltreFit in the glovebox USB port. Works great for the Tesla functions and also to store approx. 1 thousand MP3s.

Purc T You took delivery in 2023 so you file on your 2023 tax return in early 2024

The IRS/Treasury Dept. has now re-classified all MYs as SUVs and thus they will all qualify for the Federal Tax Credit when the MSRP does not exceed $80K (as long as your yearly income is under $150K for a single person or $300K for a married couple). Prior to this update the MY's without the...

I agree the absence of cross track warning is a significant omission. Previously I had a 2017 Volt and in a few ways it had better tech than my 2022 MY. A useful cross track warning was one of those ways.

I would check Carmax for an online offer.

MSRP at the time of delivery is used as the price for the purpose of the Federal tax credit.

Does anyone even know when radar was removed from Model Y's (i.e., MY's built after this date did not have the radar)? As I recall this was sometime in 2022 but I don't recall Tesla ever disclosing the actual date when Tesla stopped installing the 1st generation radar. They may not make it...

My Tesla got another FW update yesterday 2022.44.25.3. To close garage door the user must press Home icon at top center of screen then press Activate for homelink. It works, but it's not convenient.

After recently getting the 2022.44.25.1 firmware update the homelink pop-up menu no longer is shown when I pull my MY out of my garage. I can tap the Home icon at the top of the screen then the Homelink name and that (sometimes) will close my garage door. Really a nuisance as compared to...

I assume the auto turn signal feature needs to be turned on somewhere in the menus after getting the firmware update? I got the update but still only 3 flashes. I haven't searched thru the menus yet

The other alternative is to purchase the Tesla key fob and carry that with you. My wife & I each have a fob and that along with the phone, which we usually also carry, has been 100 % reliable for auto unlock

Finally got the issue resolved (with inputs from Tesla service tech). If you have the Homelink garage opener installed the incoming phone call info is now (as of a firmware update a few months ago) hidden behind the Homelink menu at the bottom left corner of the screen. You must swipe down on...

I have a issue with no means to answer or end phone calls via my 2022 Tesla MY's info screen. I can make calls from my contact list or the info display's numeric keypad. However, when receiving a call the only change to the screen is small green phone icon appears at the top center of the screen...

More info on my issue. I have a issue with no means to answer or end phone calls via my 2022 Tesla MY's info screen. I can make calls from my contact list or the info display's numeric keypad. However, when receiving a call the only change to the screen is small green phone icon appears at...

My mobile phone connects to my Model Y without issue except when I receive a phone call I cannot find any way to answer the call via the Tesla's screen. For an incoming call a small green phone icon (similar to the one always displayed at the bottom of the screen) comes up at the top (near...

If you want to use a 30amp extension cord get the Tesla 14-30 NEMA cord for the Tesla mobile charger then buy a 14-50P to 14-30R adapter (available at Amazon) for the case where you need to use the ext. Cord with a 14-50 outlet.

I guess so, since some Hertz locations are offering M3s and MYs for rent.

Did you finally get your MY repaired and how did that go?

Have read the porposed new Fed. tax credit will not be retro-active, so no $7500 tax credit for Tesla's purchased before the new law takes effect (assuming that it does pass Senate and House voles and Biden signs it). Haven't heard it the effective date would be when Signed into law or Jan. 1, 2023

The 4680 structural battery pack was designed to accommodate up to approximately 960 cells, according to multiple reports from some time ago. So, if the MY AWD is actually using less then 700 cells, then there is a lot of room for a much higher capacity version. It will be interesting to see...

You will get a Long Range unless you decide to change to the "standard range" AWD model. It's possible that by the time you get delivery you will be getting a MY long range using the new batteries and the updated chassis, but with a higher capacity battery pack than what Tesla is putting in the...

Thanks - I figured out how to get to the audio settings screen (while displaying my USB song list) and then go to sources and turn off Tidal. Thanks

I drove a couple of miles from my home yesterday and checked the tire pressure while stopped at a traffic light and the values displayed OK. My new tesla is the only vehicle that I've owned with a tire pressure display that doesn't show the values after being parked at home overnight. Since...

I cannot locate anything in audio settings to turn off an app. How do you get to the screen with that option with the latest software release (i.e., 2022.16.2)?

I've been satisfied with the following screen protector I ordered from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YBSR6C4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Today I checked shortly after arriving home, but perhaps I waited too long to check it. As I recall, when I checked last week I was stopped at a traffic light about a mile from my house.

The tire pressure value, in the service menu, is no longer being displaying on my one month old MY. I noticed this shortly after the 2022.1.1.2 software update (less than 2 week ago) and it is still missing with the 2022.16.2 update. I've rebooted the system and it's still just blanks where...

Did you ever figure out how to change the start up screen to not always go to the screen for Tidal sign-up with the QR code. I'm not interested in Tidal and having to change the screen every time I get in the car is a pain. Is there a way to set the info-entertainment system for the desired...

I agree that Tesla's implementation for the headlights is really poor as compared to traditional cars. At least the wipers now have 3 ways to turn on (left stalk, voice and dedicated control Icon). But headlights cannot be turned on via voice, nor is there a physical control and no option for...

Perhaps you can take some pics of the underside of you Austin MY when you get it so the folks here can determine if it has the chassis front mega-castiing or not.

2022.16.1.2 was a very short lived firmware version. I got 2022.16.2 earlier today. Hopefully it does fix some the bugs with 16.1.2

I just got 2022.16.2 earlier today. It appears16.1.2 had a short life.

It appears all MY's have come with the Ryzen processor the new 12v battery (actually a 15v battery) for the past several months (probably all MYs built since Feb.).

Assuming your MY has CCS enabled, then the Tesla passive CCS adapter is all you need to be able to connect to the non-Tesla high speed chargers, such as those from Electrify America. Given the Tesla CCS1 adapter is purely passive with a plastic housing and metal conductors between the pins on...

Given the Tesla CCS1 adapter if purely passive with a plastic housing and metal conductors between the pins on the Tesla plug and CCS socket, this adapter should be relatively low cost to manufacturer. Given Tesla sells the smaller J1772 adapter for $50 a realistic price for the CCS adapter...

The MY-LR that I took delivery of on 5/26 came with the tesla mobile charger. Haven't used it yet since I already have a 48 amp. Chargepoint wall charger in my garage (i.e., same max. charge rate as the Tesla wall charger).

It's my understanding that MYs from the new Berlin gigafactory are using 2170 cells as well as front and ream mega-castings. While the 2170 cells do not form part the structure the battery pack housing provides the structure to connect between the front and rear castings to form a rigid...

A question for FL residents that already have their Tesla. How long after delivery did it take to receive the Title (i.e., with no financing)? I took delivery a month ago and the local Tesla rep says 2 to 3 months is typical. In the past when getting a new car (not Tesla) If I recall...
