    4680 MYP Acceleration Boost Upgrade prediction.

    That is a good question. Not sure what the answer is. Also, curious if the 4680s will have a lower likelihood of degradation. So there are a few variables to consider. So, IF the degradation happens to one cell, instead of a general reduction across all or many cells, AND the 4680s are just as...

    Two Model Y Family

    Personally I never understood spending tens of thousands of dollars on something else just because you want some variety. If my wife’s car was also my ideal car, then that is what I would also get. Couldn’t imagine getting something “lesser” for the sake of variety, but that is assuming it meets...

    Just put the phone in airplane mode if you are concerned.

    Phone key left in car - still lockable?

    Just take the key card with you and turn your phone’s Bluetooth off. Key card is very easy to conceal. Phone won’t work as a key if Bluetooth is off.

    Model Y Headlights Flash in my garage every minute

    I have heard that security cameras with infrared may set it off. Not sure if that is accurate. Also heard that some lights that stay on flicker (not noticeable to the human eye) and maybe that is causing it? Again not sure if that is accurate. Do you see anything in the events that looks like...

    March 2022 - Tesla Model Y Increases price by $1,000

    This post nailed it! Gas prices are going up which means everything is getting more expensive and therefore teslas will also get more expensive. Also, with gas prices going up, EVs have become even more appealing. So it is smart to raise the cost. In now factor in the economics. Demand is...

    Model Y Headlights Flash in my garage every minute

    You probably already checked this, but did you check to make sure your home location is accurate. Also, are you in a parking garage where there are other cars and people or is this your personal garage with no other cars or people?

    MYP Delivery Still With Summer Tires?

    I completely understand what you are saying. They get snow in Texas too sometimes. However, in VA you have 9 months of the year where you average at least ~60 degrees. Even the other 3 months, they average at least 45 degrees. While you do in fact have some colder days, those are far outweighed...

    What did you name your car?

    My MYP is all black. Named it Baba Yaga

    Who ordered a Tesla Model Y without test driving one first?

    Ordered my MYP back in October. Picked it up in February. Never driven or even sat in any Tesla. First time was when I picked mine up. Love it and very happy with my decision. The one pedal driving was easy to adapt to for me. It takes a day or two to get used to but it is not hard to adjust to.

    MYP Delivery Still With Summer Tires?

    I think they do care about location. I am in New England and received All Season tires. Being in Virginia it would make sense that you would get summer tires since that is what would make sense for 95%+ of your driving.

    Baby On Board magnet

    Lol sorry for making you mad. I answered your question. Also a Google search does show that is why people use the baby on board sticker. Your need to be right seems to be influencing you to change your question to a moving target that no one can hit. You asked why people use it and I answered...

    Baby On Board magnet

    I am assuming you maybe were asking a question more specific than you actually wrote. In the beginning of the conversation, you mentioned not seeing the point of a baby on board sign. No one mentioned anything about why they were invented or their historical significance. All I was pointing...

    Baby On Board magnet

    Well I can only lead you to the answer, I can't make you accept it. Not sure how a bright yellow sign in the back window of a car is less obvious than a car seat inside the car. However, a google search or a discussion with any first responder would likely help clear up your confusion.

    If you are in an accident and have one of those stickers, first responders know to look for a baby in the car.

    4680 MYP Acceleration Boost Upgrade prediction.

    My point was that lighter weight vehicle does not mean that their will be a performance boost upgrade. Like they did they did with the $2k acceleration boost. Not arguing that the car wouldn’t be faster. I am saying strictly that lighter weight does not imply that their will be an option to...

    4680 MYP Acceleration Boost Upgrade prediction.

    I agree it will be lighter. But that’s the weight of the car and not something that would influence a performance upgrade option, right?

    What’s your main reason for buying a MYLR or MYP

    Ok that is good to know. I got the MYP because I figured there will be times we will need to take my car but 99% of the time the Tahoe is/will be the family vehicle. We also have a dog too and the new Tahoe has a good size trunk so it works perfectly, he is likely too big for the MYP.

    What’s your main reason for buying a MYLR or MYP

    How does the MY LR 7 seater work for your family of 5? I just got my MYP less than a week ago and we are a family or 3 (soon to be 4) but we also just got a Tahoe as our family car.

    4680 MYP Acceleration Boost Upgrade prediction.

    Common sense says Tesla is going to offer a performance boost? You would need something to back that up for “common sense” to suggest this. Maybe I missed it…did Tesla offer acceleration boost for other performance models once they got new batteries? I am just missing the common sense part of...

    What’s your main reason for buying a MYLR or MYP

    These vehicles are so close. Both are fast, one is just faster. Both have stiffer rides but one is softer. Both get more range than most will need 99% of the time (assuming you are charging at home) but one will go further. You don’t see many, if any, people regretting their decision to get a...

    What’s your main reason for buying a MYLR or MYP

    Out of curiosity, have you considered ordering both? The way the car market is, you could get the Performance much sooner and drive that until your LR 7 seater is ready. Then sell your Performance, based on the pricing you will likely break even, once your LR is ready. Obviously there is some...

    Mustang Mach-E GT Performance VS. Model Y Performance

    I know build quality is something that everyone mentions with Tesla. Though this is just one example, I picked up my 2022 MYP this week and I did not have a single issue with the build quality. I went over everything too and I couldn’t find anything wrong.

    Model 3 vs Model Y

    I was concerned about the harshness of the ride when I ordered my MYP. Now that I have picked it up and driven it, I don’t feel like it is too firm to be comfortable. I might just have more tolerance for a harsher ride, though I have had big SUVs that have softer rides prior to this. Just my 2...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    Honestly I am probably not the best to explain it. But I bet you can go to your local Tesla dealer and someone there should be able to explain it in a way that would make sense to you. 😉 Best of luck in your search for answers.

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    I wonder if 16V Li-ion and AMD go hand in hand. Could be the extra power requirements needed for the AMD is handled by the more powerful 16V Li-ion. Could also be the reason that they won’t do the retrofits for the people with Intel.

    AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!

    AMA: I test drove a Mach-E GT Performance Edition and Model Y Long Range - and I bought a MYP

    I think the big issue for the Mach E GT Performance Edition (or the normal Mach E GT) is that they are "Mustangs" and they are the "GT" or "GT PE" and that implies a certain level of performance. Take out the Mustang name and the GT/GT PE name and then I think a lot of the problems with this car...

    MYP HP and torque charts.

    My guess is the total HP for each motor is being added together, when in reality those motors will peak at different times. So while theoretically, IF the motors peaked at the same RPM, you would see 575 hp. However, since the most likely peak at different times, you likely will see an actual...
