    Has anyone here seen or had any Model Y Grill stickers/decals? I hate the bland front.

    Hope this doesnt violate any TOS. But I am having second thoughts about the MY LR I am getting later this month that just had a vin assigned today. I needed a 6 seater SUV with 2 baby/child seats for two babies arriving next month. I love love love everything about Tesla and the Model Y...

    4680 batteries, what is the advantage?

    Does tesla own a patent on the chemical composition inside their 4680 cell? That would prevent panasonic from selling it to others LFPs are not the only batteries that can last a 100 years.

    Why would tesla want to osbourne themselves by offering a 15 year warranty on a car they can only produce maybe a 100 of each month. They will only hype up the car once they are able to shift fremont to 4680 as well.

    When is structural battery pack & 4680 cells coming & Why are you not waiting until then?

    How much money are you people making that so many of you get a new $80,000 car every six years!! I cant believe so many people would spend $80,000 on a car without wanting to keep using it for decades

    When is structural battery pack & 4680 cells coming & Why are you not waiting until then?

    Its kind of insane that its been 6 weeks since 4680 were sold to people and yet no blog or paper has a picture of so much as the charging curve to see if it charges at twice the speed as expected. But yes, I am considering waiting on 4680 even if its lower power. Sandy Munro stated that the...

    4680 batteries, what is the advantage?

    Sandy Munro stated that the 4680 will last a gazillion years, and he would know. Plus, in the video showing off the 4680, tesla played a lyric in the background “i will go a million miles” Seems pretty reasonable to assume that 4680 batteries will last many many decades and for a million miles...

    So the consensus seems to be that its about age and not miles, but degradation happens due to heat generated. The new 4680 batteries produce less heat, so they should last much longer than current batteries right?

    It stands to reason that the 4680 wouldnt be the next new thing and have gained so much investment if it didnt offer enhancements in charging speeds and in longevity.

    Wouldnt cycle life closely correlate to calender life as well. I would imagine that a battery that can last 3x as many cycles due to generating less heat would also last many years longer than existing batteries.

    Ive used my current vehicle daily for 20+ years and intend to keep it around as my secondary vehicle until the day it dies. Why wouldnt I do the same with my Tesla? I plan to use it for the rest of my life if it doesn’t die on me.

    Discussion: Is the 4680 a fast charging million mile battery?

    Its clear now that 4680 production is not going as fast as everyone hoped. As such, it seems likely that Tesla will not reveal any advantages of the 4680 Teslas due to fear of the Osbourne effect, atleast until they can ramp up production significantly. They may be even using software to limit...

    What tires should I be hoping for on a MYLR with the default 19 inch wheels? All season? All weather? Made by whom?

    I ordered a MYLR 3 months ago and am expecting to get it in the next 2 months. I heard people mention that Tesla recently updated/improved the tires used in the MYLR with the default 19 inch wheels, is that right? What are the improve tires called? Michellen All Season? Goodyear All Season...
