    Is this why Model Y feels different from Model 3?

    Yes I totally miss the sports wagon!!!

    Vredstein Quatrac Pro EV tire announced

    Issues with Glass roof and rear passengers / Kids

    Wait, you are complaining about this and you don't have your car yet? You don't even know if it is a problem.

    Is this a model X, Model 3, or Model Y? [Fatal Tesla Model Y accident 10/18/22 in Stuart, FL]

    'Budensiek said a preliminary investigation shows the Tesla was going south at “an extremely high rate of speed.”'

    Rearview mirror housing rattle/vibrations

    Repair was done same day. The service notes say that they found that "one of the trim panels for the triple camera was not properly seated". They reseated the trim panel and rattle was gone.

    Screen viewing by old eyes

    For another take, how much does she actually need to see the screen while driving? I actually hardly look at it, except for speed.

    Screen viewing by old eyes

    Not sure if I am stating something you already know, but you have to press the right scroll wheel on the steering wheel in to have the car listen for a voice command.

    Tesla Blind Spot Monitor

    Coming from a car without a blind spot warning, I am finding the blind spot video to be sufficient and also very helpful.

    First impressions and new MYLR road trip

    Almost forgot: TACC worked great. Probably used for 1,000 miles of the road trip, mostly interstate. one relatively mild "phantom braking" when passing a truck (truck in right lane of interstate, we passed on left).

    First impressions and new MYLR road trip

    Took delivery of Saphira on July 30th and took a 1,400 mile road trips five days later. Here are some impressions and notes. First: great car! I am very happy with my purchase. After reading posts here for nine months I was half-prepared to hate the car. Nothing could be further from the...

    Rearview mirror housing rattle/vibrations

    I had this issue on delivery. Was fixed on first service center visit. Got lucky, I guess.

    November Orders

    They did end up giving me a mobile connector kit. My other delivery issues (review mirror rattle, couldn't set glovebox PIN) were also fixed.

    November Orders

    I didn't notice the missing mobile connector until I got home, so I have put it in a service request. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    November Orders

    Picked up at Arden (Sacramento) yesterday! External finish is perfect. A few minor problems: review mirror rattles. Can't set glovebox PIN. And NO MOBILE CONNECTOR. I hope that last is an oversight because based on order date I thought I would be getting one. Anyway I am sure those issues...

    November Orders

    So bummed. My EDD got pushed back today all the way to Sept 9 - Oct 23! Why????? Current car is on its last legs and probably can't pass smog test (due end of Aug) without extensive work.
  22. J

    May not want anymore. Now what?

    Another question is whether AWD is important to you. Most of the other options in a similar price range only have a similar range in their 2WD versions.

    November Orders

    Don't get too excited about a 2 week window; I had one and then got pushed back a month (and reverted to 4 week window)

    Just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying reading about your troubleshooting, etc.

    For those who feel personally victimized by Uncle Elon’s EDD ping pong game!

    "personally victimized"? Come on, this is just silly. Of couse it would be nice to have a solid EDD, but given uncertaintities related to significant supply-chain issues, a new major war, trying to get a new factory open, etc, etc, I honestly don't see how a precise EDD could be given.

    Purchasing a new car, MY vs RAV4 Prime

    I've test driven both (well, R4, not R4) and disagree with this. R4P much softer ride; MY much sportier. I much prefer the handling of the MY but if you prefer a soft ride, the R4 will be more comfortable. I ordered the MY. Range anxiety: how often do you drive where you will be more than...

    Could Tesla crash fatality be due to "sudden braking"?

    Will be interesting to see what the data recorders show. I haven't seen anyone report PB taking them to a full stop. Could also be mechanical failure, or the driver could have had a medical issue.

    Are you sure you get what you order?

    I thought the increase range that the OP refers to is just a difference in the way the range calculation was done(?)

    2022 Model Y Initial Impressions

    I think it is because they are on old software...the car has not updated to new since delivery

    Help me decide which one to sell - Old Model S or New Model Y?

    New Heads Up Display for Model Y / 3

    The website notes a couple of things that don't work correctly with current software. They don't exactly provide confidence that they are going to fix it. Hard to get excited about spending $1,000 for something that is already out of date and may not get updated.

    Some 2022 Model Ys shipping with MCU3 (AMD Ryzen)

    New model y range issues

    Remember that the EPA range of 330 is for combined city/hwy and that EVs do better at city speeds.

    CA Waiting Room

    The number of inventory vehicles popping up compared to the number of people with reservations is very small, so it is unlikely to affect the wait time much.

    Regenerative braking on icy roads

    Regenerative braking on icy roads

    Okay now I understand the issue better. I thikn the point is that regen braking makes the car worse than a normal car because it is only braking with the rear wheels, yes?

    Regenerative braking on icy roads

    AWD helps you go in the snow. It doesn't help you stop.

    How did you convince your significant other to order a Tesla?

    1) She test drove it 2) Reduced CO2 (will be very low CO2 for us because of solar) 3) I pointed out that whatever his faults, Elon was visionary for making an EV that people actually wanted to buy.

    MYLR vs Mach-e vs RAV4 Prime

    I have a MYLR on order and currently drive a 2008 Outback. Actually I think these cars drive pretty well for what they are (slow though). Anyway, we test drove a RAV4 hybrid (not plugin) and it felt like a boat. Big and boring. Nothing like a MY. The RAV4 *may* have other things going for...
