Hello, I have done some reading and understand charging to 100% is okay if you are going to drive immediately and even better if you use scheduled departure… in that case, when I schedule departure time on my phone app - does that automatically taper the charge so it finishes right at departure...

Sweet thanks everyone! I figured as much. Already starting to look better after one trip.

Decided on the Tesla brand weather tech floor mats. Happy with the passenger and rear. Driver side - only concern is adjacent the door (see photos). I’m not terrible concerned but it’s just not completely flush on the side. For others, is this just how it is due to the curvature of the pedal...

In a good way bc it charges faster or a bad way bc that is somehow not good for battery?

I just took a 250 mile round trip in my new long range MY. I avoided charging to 100% and instead charged to 90% the night before. When getting home, I was left with 6%. There was some traffic. I have heard it’s not great to charge to 100% too often but also not good to run close to empty. In...

Wondering if this undercarriage area is the aeroguard? Picked up my new MYLR few days ago and literally have not driven it anywhere… I was researching mudflaps and scoping out the install situation when I see that I do not have the two retaining pins in the rear wheel wells as all the...

Su Looks dope! I’ve already decided to get this, but deciding on color logo. Mine is white so can go with any color…either way thanks for the info and pics. I’m sold on this!

Thanks for the great info. Hmmm you’ve peaked my interest regarding rally armor. They’re different but maybe in a good way. My long range white MY is probably the most common one out there, so I’m not opposed to giving it a different look, especially if it is better performance. I watched a...

Hi all, I have read many of the threads regarding installing rear mud flaps and risk of breaking the rear bolt/nut assembly (and the tip to use oil penetrant - BTW what is the best one to use?) I am wondering if the bolt breaking loose is still a current issue for newer Model Y vehicles or if...

Oh gotcha. Thanks!

I’m curious about this too - is this written somewhere? If I need two cars with the decal, I cannot do it both under my name?

I’m getting my Y soon and also have a plug in hybrid registered under my name. Does anyone know if I can register both cars for the California HOV decal? I couldn’t find the answer but read somewhere it might be only one EV vehicle per person. Anyone here know? I guess I could switch the...

I wish I could do a 50a but my panel can't handle it and upgrading my electrical service for more total amps is not an option. So the electrician recommended 30a total with a NEMA 14-30 adapter, which I think will give me 24A charging on the Tesla. I gave it some thought and it seems to be the...

Thank you! Is a wall charger typically hard-wired, or just essentially mounted box/brick that plugs into the 240v 30a outlet? I'm wondering if there is any benefit to a wall charger vs. just a "mobile" generic j1772 cable charger that I leave plugged in.

Thanks for the tips guys. Are you saying that if I have a generic J1772 charger that fits MOST US EV cars, the Tesla comes with the adapter to use that charger? Is there any benefit to installing a wall charger vs just a second mobile charger/cable that plugs into my 240V receptacle? Is a wall...

Hi all. I’m looking to get a BMW hybrid plug-in in addition to the model Y that I have on the way. I will be getting a 240v 30a outlet installed in my garage and use the NEMA 14-30 adapter and Tesla stock charging cable to charge the Y. I know there are some adapters available on Amazon that...

Thanks for the input. This seems to be the thought process of the electrician who thinks it’s okay to do 50a, when others have suggested 30a. I don’t have a photo of panel handy, but it’s pretty full with multiple rooms, lights, appliances, central AC, and so on. Dryer is gas which helps. But...

Thanks for the info. I have regular 15a receptacles; definitely not 20a. I believe a frequent topic is to what % to charge your Tesla and battery health. I believe the idea is to charge max to 80-90% charge, right? If I charge every night or every other night but can’t get to the target 80-90%...

Glad to hear you think that may be okay. It’s an alternative plan - “trickle charge” and supercharge as needed. There is a supercharge station less than a mile away from me too. I figured if I’m going Tesla, might as well go all in and install a charger. But perhaps I give the trickle plan a...

If I could upgrade to 200a, I would but I am in a townhouse situation which makes it very complicated or not possible. I have my own 100a main panel but I believe the service is somehow connected to all units. The electrician said he would show me how my panel is operating with his amp probe...

I have maybe a 20-25 mile commute round trip. I can live with 21 mph charge, but just wanted to install the best possible option since I have to pay for the install any way. Appreciate the chart - helps a lot!

You're right - I do not need the extra charging and had accepted that I will settle for the 30A outlet. But when the second guy came along and confidently felt he can give me a 50A outlet, I was thinking "Hey sounds great!" but also had some reservations based on what others have told me. This...

New here! I have a Tesla Y Long Range coming soon to California. I am novice DIYer so will do my best to ask my electrical question below... I need to install a 240V outlet in my garage and use a NEMA adapter for charging. I understand the difference between a 30A and 50A outlet and the...
