    High Fidelity Park Assist

    My 2023 MYLR has this similar image (Vision cameras not USS). I like it, it works well for old eyes . Maybe USS is better but I don't have USS so I can't compare

    Autopilot and park assist is degraded tesla3 2023

    Made appointment with Tesla service center 2 wks ago. Brought the car in without knowing that they texted me note saying that Tesla has tracked the software of my car for the past 2 months and they could not find anything wrong with software and hardware. The intermittent "park assist is...

    3.5 year MYLR update 179.7k miles

    I assume if we drive like an old man ,i.e. not accelerate fast, then tires could last 40K-60K

    Maximum Tires Size Model Y Performance?

    Yes, If U buy tires from Costco then any tire rotation/balance or tire plug at service center are free of Charge. New Tesla tires don't come from Costco and I am surprised that they even do those services for a minimum . Ive been a Costco member for almost 25 yrs and love it

    3.5 year MYLR update 179.7k miles

    I could be very wrong about this above chart (1) it displays the degradation of battery due to frequency of fast charging (i.e. 10 times a week vs 2 times a week at SUPERCHARGE stations) (2) I am looking for the degradation of battery due to the use of SUPERCHARGE stations (very fast) vs...

    Autopilot vs FSD

    All Pros out there. Please bear with me I enjoy my 2023 MYLR tremendously. Being an old fart -72- it took me a couple months to feel comfortable with the standard Autopilot. Now I am really interested in FSD as it has progressed nicely. Here are my problems (1) I drive less than 6K miles a...

    Maximum Tires Size Model Y Performance?

    If U Pros belong to Costco, then do [Tesla] flat tire for a fee and rotation/balance for $26 (just check yesterday). At Costco tire center that all they do besides selling tires, so I trust them more than others

    3.5 year MYLR update 179.7k miles

    {I estimate85% degradation} Just a thought: I wonder if 85% degradation in 3.5 yrs (granted with almost 180K miles) is mainly due to a lot of Supercharging on highways? i.e. if 180K miles after 3.5yrs of charging mostly at home then the battery degradation would be much less. Any battery...

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    I was wrong... if CPA put in Nov 2022 (when car received) for 2023 tax year , it was rejected. If he put in Jan 2023 (if car received) for 2023 tax year , it went thru but when submitting it said data don't match

    if directional like Micheline CC2 then front to back only per Costco If directional and same size then Costco will rotate "front left to back right" to ensure even wear

    Thanks for Info. I am a Costco member so I will go with whatever it offers when the time comes. Costco tire center impresses me by plugging flat tires not bought from Costco. IMO that's a very good business model

    Tyers noob looking to get Michelin Cross Climate 2 for the Model Y SR

    Thanks... to Those Chem.Eng or Polymer Scientists, we understand it as Tg or glass transition temp. That's why softer compounds are great for winter driving but they wear faster.

    Are you paying for premium connectivity?

    IMO ...$100/yr is a small price to pay for the convenience that I get. I like the colored GPS screen, I THINK it redirects me to avoid congested/accident routes much faster. I am pretty sure there are other benefits that I don't use/or not aware of.

    Tyers noob looking to get Michelin Cross Climate 2 for the Model Y SR

    (slightly less grip compare to X-Ice tires during the extreme winter weather) X-Ice tires are rated as snow tires, right? If so its rubber compound is softer hence better stopping distance than those of non-snow tires. The combination of heavy car + lower center of gravity + AWD of MYLR should...

    Tyers noob looking to get Michelin Cross Climate 2 for the Model Y SR

    IMO, tires being sold at Costco should be more than OK because its liability is extremely important to large companies #JohnB007 : what is your assessment of CC2 on your model Y/3. Please share

    Model 3 AWD 19" Sport Wheels - Tire Replacement Cost

    my 2023 MYLR (picked up in Nov 2022) came with same Continental Procontact. Per internet its price is expensive $300+ and yet its rating is just so-so 4+. I think my local Costco tires center offer Michelin CC2. If purchased at the "on sales" time it's less than $200 each

    Rotating tires, do I need balancing

    My understanding (1) Any local qualified shops can do tires ROTATION and BALANCING. No need to go to Tesla shop. My non-Tesla cars got rotation and balancing at Costco Tire center every 6K miles (2) Wheel alignment is a different story. Costco does not do wheel alignment - not at my local...

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot
