So we just rented a house in California that only has Level 1 charging (previously was in apartment complex with Level 2 charging). Since we don't own the home, we don't want to spend a big chunk of money to rewire for Level 2 charging....landlord isn't going to chip in so it'll be at our...

Wondering if anyone has used this product in their Model Y for camping, it's a self-inflating air mattress: link My family of 2 adults + 1 infant is going car camping and since it might be chilly at night we'll use the car camp mode. I'm debating whether to get the double size (52" width) vs 2...

I have a carseat installed in the rear passenger (right side) for my kiddo. The problem is that sometimes the passenger sitting in the middle will accidentally unclip the seat belt for both the middle seat & the carseat. This will require me to spend the next 5 minutes to reinstall the carseat...

I have a 2022 MYP riding on 19" Gemini wheels (stock OEM tires). Recently the car got an unpatchable tire puncture in the rear tire (America's Tire refused to patch it due to location of the hole). Even though the tires only have 10k miles on them, both rear tires are showing significantly worse...

My Model Y with 19" Gemini OEM tires ran over a 2" screw yesterday puncturing the left rear passenger tire towards the inner side of the tire (unclear if unrepairable or not). The leak was substantial and tire went flat within 30 minutes. I patched it with a kit but there is still some slight...

Going to Mammoth in a few weeks and will need to park the car outside (no garage). Looks like temperature will dip into the teens overnight which will freeze the windshield wiper fluid. I can't seem to find antifreeze windshield wiper fluids anywhere in SoCal. Can I buy some on the way there...

We're planning on going to Mammoth in a couple of weeks and was wondering what's a better charging strategy for our MYP: 1) Charge in Mammoth supercharger to 50-60% (150 kW but will be limited due to cold) or 2) Charge in Bishop supercharger to about 90% before going up to Mammoth (40 miles...

Just got a roof rack for the Model Y. Tesla's website says the loading (static) weight is 165lbs. Now is this 165lbs loading limit with or without the roof rack (which weigh 16lbs already)...ie is my true loading limit 150lbs or so? Anybody know?

We have a 2022 MYP and will be installing the Tesla roof rack, all that's left is to pick out a roof box. It'll be for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 young children, mostly snow trips to resorts for snowboarding). We are debating between the Thule Motion XT (XL?) vs Yakima GrandTour (16 vs 18?)...

We will be doing some snow trip to Mammoth and Lake Tahoe this winter with our MYP (19" Gemini, stock Continental tires) and were wondering if we need some sort of traction device (like the Auto Sock) if conditions are really terrible for driving. The MYP is already dual motor/AWD with all...

We will be taking a road trip this summer and do not want to be stranded on the road if our tire goes flat. Is Modern Spare still the recommended spare tire for a Model Y? If so, is it recommended to get the entire kit (tools + cover bag) too or can I buy the tools elsewhere to save some cash...

I have a gray MYP that I switched to 19" gemini wheels on delivery due to the harsh ride of the 21" uberturbines. Only downside of the 19" gemini is that they're funky looking, so I removed the aero covers to ride with just the plain alloy spokes. Only problem is the silver alloy doesn't quite...

I have a 2022 MYP with HEPA / biodefense mode and where I park there's a lot of leaves and debris that falls on the car. My concern is that the debris will eventually make its way into the air intake and clog up the filter. Is this a valid concern for the HEPA / biodefense model because I opened...

My MYP is the first EV I've got so I'm trying to figure out what additional maintenance I need to perform besides the usual. This is taken from the Tesla Model Y manual: Brake fluid health check every 2 years (replace if necessary) A/C desiccant bag replacement every 4 years. Cabin air filter...

I'm getting a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed at my dad's house for the few times a month we are there to visit. The main breaker box is outside towards the back side of his house, and he already got an outdoor 60amp subpanel installed (up to code with GFCI fuse) there as well. My Model Y can drive...

I have an opportunity to put in a NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 for the same installation cost (having a 50A subpanel built also) for dedicated EV charging. The house already has a 6-50 outlet being used for another appliance, and I happen to have an extra 6-50 receptacle lying around. However, my research...

My MY was delivered about a month ago so it only has a temporary license tag. Can I apply for a custom plate yet or do I have to wait until registration is completed and I receive my official plate (non-custom)? Also is the same true for the HOV decal?

Selling a complete set of Tesla Gemini 19” wheels (x4) pulled off a 2022 MY with 250 miles on it. The wheels are pretty much brand new without any curb rash. Local pick up in Orange County area. Price $1000

Does the wind noise reduction or car seal kit make an appreciable difference for the Model Y? I have done it before for my old car and it made very only minor improvements, not sure if would do it again. Now the Tesla is brand new so it's not quite necessary at all?

I'm getting a window tint quote for all the side and rear windows. Apparently Xpel Prime XR is $150 cheaper than the PLUS version. I am going to get the windshield done with Prime XR PLUS, but I am not sure if it's worth it to do Plus version for the side & rear windows. The car would be sitting...

I just took delivery of my MYP this weekend with only 20 miles on the odometer. Won't need to drive the MYP for some time so I'm looking to trade the 21" Uberturbines with Michelin Pilot Sport AS tires (essential brand new) for a 19" Gemini set with tires in similar condition + cash. Based in...

I am looking to tint my windshield for additional heat rejection. However I hear some products can leave a rainbow effect, especially with polarized sunglasses. I'm currently looking at Xpel XR Prime Plus vs Spectra Photosync, is this something that the forum recommends to avoid the rainbow...

I'm swapping my MYP 21" Uberturbines to 19" Gemini wheels. Already purchased the 19" wheels w/ aero caps, but will need a new set of tires to go with this. I'm planning on getting my tires (Michelin Pilot Sport AS4) at America's Tire. Do you guys know if as part of the tire installation, they...

I have a basic MY LR (MSM, black interior, Gemini wheels, no FSD, no tow) with order date late November 11, 2021. Original EDD was October 2022, got moved up and down a bunch of times, currently sitting at EDD July 29 - Sept 23, 2022 so who knows. I'm now considering the MYP upgrade for $5k...
