    Tire Tread Depth & usage

    So far, I have driven MY for just over 70,000km, which is around 44k miles, over about 18 months. Obviously, a large portion of this is highway driving. I've been using two sets of tires - original Conti and Michelin Cross Climate 2. I'm not sure what % of time I have driven on each tires. I...

    New Extended Warranty?

    I live in Ontario, and just learned that Tesla has been working with another institution to offer an extended warranty for existing cars. I hear that this has been out on USA states for a little while now. Reading through the terms, it seems almost too good to be true. My situation: - We drive...

    Data Usage Limit

    Does anyone know what's the data usage limit for the Premium (paid) users? During our travel, we are a bit afraid of data streaming too much, in case we end up hitting the limit and get speed throttled (my assumption). So instead, we use the combination of our own data and low bandwidth...

    Little PPF strips back of rear doors...

    Do you keep these or do you remove them? If I choose to take them off 3 years from now, am I going to get big ugly patch where those films were attached or is it going to look clean without visible lines?

    Tinting (heat rejecting) front windshield glass + cold climate = good idea?

    For those who live in cold climates but still have to deal with hot summer, did you add any kind of heat rejection tint on your front windshield glass? I heard that since it rejects heat from outside, it could also interfere with heating the glass from the inside during the winter using the...

    Model Y with 19" wheels - tire pressure?

    I just noticed that when the temperature inside the garage is 12C (53.6F), my tire pressures range 42.8 - 43.5. I prefer softer side of the ride but range is somewhat important as well. Can I safely reduce the pressure to 40 without risking safety or huge drop in range?

    TeslaFi only charges 1%?

    I'm currently evaluating TeslaFi and so far, I like what it offers. Then I tried to create some Scheduled Controls. Current battery level is 80% (and max is 80%). My utility offers TOU plan, but I disabled that in the Android app to simplify this test case. I set the new max level to 90%...

    Gen 3 wall charger - must I use the built-in holster when not in use?

    I'm trying to figure out the best location for the Gen 3 Wall Charger. I could theoretically wedge the charger between the electrical panel and the wall near the garage door but I won't be able to use the built-in holster on the right side of the unit. Is it ok if I install a water hose...

    Cost of streaming music and movies in Tesla?

    Another noob question. How does data plan for Tesla Infotainment system works? Does it use my phone's data plan, or do I need to make some monthly payment (to Tesla?) to keep up with the usage? I keep hearing those Tesla roadtrip videos where people stream Netflix within the car, but surely...

    One possible winter tire option for Model Y

    I'm receiving a new Model Y in Aug 2022, equipped with Gemini 19s. I don't want to go with 100% winter tire, since we do expect to travel way down south during the winter often. I have experience with Micheline Cross Climate 2 on my current car, and we are happy with its performance. I'd like...

    Benefits of 15.5v Lithium Battery vs 12v Lead Acid for campers?

    We intend to use our soon to be arriving Model Y as a tent replacement in the future. This also means we will be carrying lots of electronics devices, including power hungry laptops, a small fridge, and even a 1.5kwh rechargeable battery. My understanding was that the existing lead acid 12v...
