    MYP with 21" ÜBERTURBINE Wheels and Lift; Does anyone have this setup?

    Has anyone ever seen an MYP with the stock wheels, but a 1.5-2.0" lift? I've done some googling, and I've only found the combination with overland wheels. The images made my AI don't see that accurate. By chance, does anyone have an image of one? Also, aside from losing range, is there any...

    Pressing the Park Button While Driving

    I joined these forums a couple of years ago and I thought there was a post about pressing the Park button while you’re in motion. I can’t seem to find it anymore. Pardon me if that post exists somewhere here. Addressing the Model Y or 3. Please assume the Tesla is set to use Hold. If a driver...

    Model Y Alignment & Anxiety-Triggering-Angles on the Steering Wheel

    Hi everyone, I was hoping I could get your help regarding my Model Y Performance. I picked up my MYP last April. The steering wheel was off-center to the right. Ironically, my Model 3 looked the same in regards to the off-center steering wheel, so I didn't give it much thought. I thought it...

    Shifting from Drive to Reverse, but briefly pausing at the first position - does it cause a short free fall?

    Hi, I’ve had my Model Y for about 8 months now. It’s my favorite. But I had a question that I thought it worth asking for due diligence, and to see if anyone has noticed the same behavior. When I’m in Drive in the Model Y, going uphill or downhill, if I move the stalk with the intent to go...

    New Model Y - Missing Bolts or Rivets?

    Good day everyone, I was looking under my new Model Y today and noticed there were two holes where I thought either bolts or rivets would be. Someone on another forum suggested Tesla is price cutting, or streamlining, and not installing bolts or rivets where it was found they're not needed...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector - Is Surge Protection Already Present, or Is It a Requirement At the Main Panel?

    Good day, everyone. My main panel isn't too strong. It's just at 100A, but I'm looking to upgrade it this summer to 200A. Today, my house experienced a power outage. Power returned within 10 min, but I didn't get the chance to turn off the 60A breaker connected to the Gen 3 Wall connector. To...

    Charging Error Notification, But It Still Charged? Error: CP_a054

    I had a question RE: an odd occurrence that recently happened. I figured I'd ask here before I let my overthinking spiral out of control: I plugged my Tesla into its wall connector in last night at 23:54. It started charging. I lowered it to 27A. Later into the evening, I lowered it further to...

    Is it worth purchasing a MYP now, even with the old cameras?

    I've given myself until 17:00 tomorrow to decide whether or not to pull the trigger on a Model Y Performance. Do you guys think their shipped 1.2MP cameras would be a good enough deterrent against the purchase? For folks with 5.0MP cameras, is it great enough to say, " Wait til the 5.0MP is...

    Question Regarding... Driving Over a Curb

    Hello, I have my brakes set to creep. I thought I gave the Model 3 enough time to stop in a parking slot, but in the end, no. It went over a curb (slightly). Worry wort me, I wanted to see if there was any damage. From the front, you can see that the bumper itself didn't make any contact...

    Surge Protection - at the Wall Charger & the Tesla Itself?

    This is an odd question that came to mind from an observation this evening: Someone turned on a dryer this evening and I noticed a subtle dimming on a ceiling light. I assumed it was a fluctuation in power from the dryer turning on, and, after half a second, everything was fine. If something...

    Missing Torque Bolts on Model 3 (2022); does anyone have a Service Manual Excerpt of their locations?

    Good day everyone, I noticed my M3 is missing (4) 5Nm Torque bolts on the front aero shield and and rear. I see from searching the forums, some folks have had the same issue. I have a service appointment on Sunday to have them replaced. However, I wanted to mark them off on a picture to make...

    Using Compressed Air on the Charge Port & Cable

    I’ve read anecdotal advice about using compressed air to clean out the charge port & the handle from the Tesla wall connector. It’s not to remove corrosion, but mostly to blow our dust and debris from the environment. May I please confirm - is it safe to do so? Would doing so pose any harm to...

    Understanding How Tesla's Shifting Works, Its Protective Protocols, and Neutral

    Please pardon my question. I tend to overthink things (GAD). But instead of ruminating, I figured it'd be best to ask for help in understanding my Tesla. I've never had a need to use Neutral for my Tesla. I read the manual, and it states that if the Tesla is in Neutral, it can’t shift into...

    Panel Gap on Plastic Piece, & Question About Part Number

    Hello, I was looking under my Model 3 and noticed a gap by the driver’s side between a plastic bottom piece and the metal frame: It’s minor, but I was curious if anything bad would happen if water or debris got in that gap. Or is it just a plastic cover & if any water or debris got in there...

    Accidentally Unplugged the Flash Drive

    I was swapping out my Tesla's flash drive for one with a larger capacity, and higher heat tolerance. (emphasis on the latter bc my cabin usually hits around 136+) I partially pulled out the flash drive, realized my mistake, looked at the onboard computer and realized it was still recording. I...

    Question Regarding Tesla M3 Car Wash Safety

    Hi, I'm still new to taking care of my Model 3 and I was hoping for your help in understanding how to take care of it. I was reviewing the Model 3's cleaning page. May I please get clarification regarding this detail: The latter seems self explanatory. But what do you think they meant...

    How waterproof are the Model 3 seats?

    Hi, I recently had water spill onto my front seats because the folks at el pollo loco didn't close the lids of my sodas. May I please find out - how resilient are the seats? Would wiping them down with a microfiber suffice? Would I have to worry about the electronics in the seats at all? Thx...

    2022 Tesla Model 3, Odd Grinding Sound (When the fan is on)

    Good day everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm posting here because I'm hearing a strange sound on my 2022 Model 3 LR. I hear it when the fan is on, particularly when it's set to 72°. It was a chilly day here in SoCal, so maybe it's heat-related? I just took delivery of this M3 last...
