    I remember seeing a couple diagonal slip tests long ago. how it behaves >

    MYLR snow performance

    Don't know if it does the alternate side action you are describing, must be a YouTube video of someone trying it somewhere?

    MYLR snow performance

    Yes it works at 30kph, even 100kph. 50:50 instead of the usual rear bias. I use it primarily on ice. Offroad assist reduces the anti-spin / auto-braking to allow wheel spin. However it also reduces throttle curve, so you are less likely to over-torque. I used it regularly this winter, mostly...

    Wireless charging of smartphone is slow

    I find it does alright with a MagSafe case on an iP12, but if it slides slightly left or right you are toast. (This is in a 2023 Model 3)

    iOS17 compatibility?

    Been running for months across the all the iOS 17 dev betas, and now release version. Everything has worked 100% the whole time.

    Canadian Superchargers now charge per kWh

    Oof. So glad I locked in 12 months ago when it was low. Alberta needs to build a few nuclear generators and make utilities public again. The privatized the deregulated profiteer system it has at the moment is bull crap.

    Discussion: Experiences Renting a Tesla Model 3 / Y from various companies

    Got a 3 from Avis at Vancouver YVR last week. CCS and J adapters were in the frunk, along with a mobile charger. Pickup was super easy, return was instant right in the garage by an attendant who just checked the adapters were all still in the frunk. The contrast to renting from Hertz is night...

    How worried about vandalism are you?

    I always just took it for granted that the average Albertan is an idiot in any car at any time, long before buying a Tesla, but that is definitely extra crappy behaviour. This place never ceases to amaze me.

    How worried about vandalism are you?

    You get what you search for. My Tesla is minty fresh so far (8 months). I've only turned on sentry once - in a very tight hospital parking lot spot. Doubt I'll ever use it again, it just creates something to worry about that you never did before with any other car. I turned it off and reclaimed...

    New owner confused can’t see NOA…

    The steering has 3 settings. If it is too twitchy it is likely set to sport.

    Model Y Performance Spoiler

    I did a DIY attempt and it went well. I did a dry fit first and marked one side with blue painters tape. Then started on one side and rolled around to the other. Try it a couple times with the adhesive cover strips still on. That said, I saw someone trying to resell one locally without the...

    Model Y Performance Spoiler

    I got the Matte carbon fibre one from EVACA. Looks exactly like the MYP one in real life. Same sheen and texture. https://evaca.ca/products/model-3-y-real-carbon-fibre-performance-spoiler

    retrofit Projector headlights?

    I'd like to see a before and after on the road light output comparison video. A couple hot spots on a wall like Kim and Tsport both did, really tell us nothing practical. If you can prove they have improved output in the real world, and don't suffer in some other dynamic like width, I'll buy...

    Vendor Model Y Alpharex Nova Series LED Projector Headlights exclusively available @ T Sportline

    This needs an output on the road comparison vs the stock lights. Like several you tube channels have done for the Ford 150 Alpharex lights. No way to know if there is a real world difference from the dog and pony show video.

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Feed it in through the pre-existing holes on the rubber trim. Lube it up with something that won't degrade rubber if you want to push it in a continuous piece or two. I just fed mine in 6 shorter sections with no lube, but that takes significant force. Just drove 800kms on the weekend, and...

    Is AWD worth it?

    It's dual motor, which is not the same as distributed AWD with constant power ratios. When first starting out at low speeds it's effectively RWD until you get going. If you drive in snow or ice, you will notice on your first few take offs or corners. Same applies when slowing down with...

    Canada: Results/stats for 107km drive to Supercharger at -36c

    I've run mine after the car has sat in -30C or colder temps for over 8 hours at the end of my workday several times. The heat pump warms up the car just fine in a Model Y, even in -35C. Very quickly too.

    Canada: Results/stats for 107km drive to Supercharger at -36c

    Nice to know the heat pump works just fine down past any extremes most Tesla drivers may face.

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I've got a 2023. Getting this issue on a Model Y manufactured in October 22 was still a crap shoot as of that date.

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Stuffed in the polyethylene 8mm OD tubing today. Oh wow, it took out the buffeting almost completely. At this level I don't care about the last 5%, the fact I have to strain to hear it demonstrates the level of improvement. I had a little trouble getting the hatch to close all the way using the...

    What features do you wish the Model Y came with (Dec 2022/Jan 2023) Wishlist

    Coming from a Volvo that lacked 1/2 the features this baby has, I really don't miss what I've never had. HUD would be great. I use a magsafe mount and the ENH commander, and while it's nice, I'd rather have hud.

    USB-C Ports Not Working

    They should supply power. Probably a loose connector somewhere, your service visit should fix it in about 5 minutes.

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    My lower bumpers did not ever hold an envelope no matter how far they were cranked out. So instead I screwed them back in to stock position and put some self adhesive felt chair glides on the flat contact points for the lower bumpers to raise the landing point. For me this seems to cut the...

    Canada: Results/stats for 107km drive to Supercharger at -36c

    I drove around Edmonchuck that day it was -37.5C too and got better performance than I expected, even with full heat blasting (21.5C), heated seats running on 1 bar, heated steering going a lot. I wanted to see how the heat pump performed in those ultra cold temps The differences in my drive...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    On 2022.44.2 mine is down to 2 scenarios now where is slows down, but behaves everywhere else. 1. Approaching bridges with narrowing openings. The bridge caution makes sense for two way traffic bridgse, however it also does it on single direction bridges which is undesired. i.e. divided...

    Model Y Delivery Tomorrow!!

    Don't worry about the mobile charger, I chucked it for a wall charger after the first week anyway. It's not useful unless you don't drive for 2 days at a time.

    MYLR come with floor mats

    Just contact your delivery centre and ask for your mats.

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I think that is because by loading the suspension, you have reduced the source of the boom since it can't rebound as much over bumps. So there is less to echo through the car. If I put 200lbs of stuff in the back, I get the same result. I've also noticed with the arrival of colder weather, which...

    Model Y has anyone received 2023 VIN yet?

    It was in the description section of the website. If I recall correctly Account>Dashboard>Manage. I did not need to inspect HTML code or anything, it was just listed there. Now that I have taken delivery, the path options in manage have changed, so not sure which link inside it was. It was also...

    Model Y has anyone received 2023 VIN yet?

    Once I had that new expected time frame you just received, I got the delivery notice and VIN 3 or 4 days later. My VIN showed online a couple days before it did in the app. Order date means nothing. You can get matched with a car at any time. i.e. I ordered on Oct 5th and had to take delivery on...

    Model Y has anyone received 2023 VIN yet?

    I think a lot of MYP are pretty fast, not surprised. I went with a MYLR and was very surprised. Ordered on 10/05 and got the notice to arrange delivery on 10/24. Car was available onsite on 27th. One door needed a 2mm height tweak to make it perfect, but otherwise faultless.

    Model Y has anyone received 2023 VIN yet?

    Just got a 2023 VIN with that same config. MYP-LR Blue, Black, tow hitch. Ordered it 20 days ago on Oct 5th. Arrives in next 6 days. Now just have to get that lucky horseshoe removed from my rear and scramble to get a charger installed.

    Model Y 2023 Upgrades

    The 2022 model Y tester I drove made in the spring was already pretty good. Felt softer and smoother than my existing car to me. I'm guessing people who think it is firm are are coming from a vehicle with a floaty boaty suspension?
