As a Ford EV owner I wouldn’t call it garbage. We own 2 2023 Model Ys and a 2023 Ford Lightning Lariat ER. The Ford Lightning is a great vehicle. It’s Adaptive Cruise control with lane keeping is better than the Teslas on all streets came with free 3 years with hands free Blue Cruise on...

In the 15 months I've had a Model Y I never had this problem before at the location. When I left today I put a lightweight silver mylar car cover that I had laying around on the car and the car didn't update again. Hopefully the car cover acted like a faraday bag. I will get a better cover...

Update. False alarm. Got to the cabin and car was alive and well. The door opened with phone as a key. Charge was at 25%. I plugged it in to add some charge before leaving it at the cabin and departing to go back home with our Lightning. I have no idea why the car didn’t communicate with...

I left my 2023 Model Y at my remote cabin yesterday about 125 miles from home. When I got there it had 35% charge and locked it with the app shortly after leaving. Last night after arriving back home with the Tesla still at the cabin. I checked the APP and the charge was now down to 25% from...

Here is an ebay listing for a used 8 foot length 166561384289 for sale | eBay

To add on, When you contact the electrical supply house make sure that you specify Copper SEU, not aluminum

Check your local electrical supply houses. Home depot doesn't sell it by the foot from what I searched.

Local store in Sarasota Florida has multiple Wall Connectors in the mall parking lot for years that they use to charge their demo cars. I mounted the one at our cabin in Ft Drum, Florida outside. The only concern I would have is with a hurricane. The cable could be an issue if the wind...

We have 2 2023 Model Ys. Only differences are my wife’s is an Austin built with 19” Gemini wheels. Mine is a Freemont built with 20” wheels. I can’t find a way to match the seating positions on both cars. I’m the most comfortable in mine but I can’t get comfortable in my wife’s. It seems...

They are attracted to Heat and Exhaust fumes. So they like blacktop roads.

We have lots of experience with bugs here in Florida. I drive a 125 trip across Florida 3-4 times a month.. During “Love Bug” season twice a year it’s really bad. I rinse as soon as possible then use any car wash soap and let it sit for a while to loosen the bugs. Then I use an Aero Cosmetics...

Look at the window sticker for price BEFORE Destination and Delivery That is the number that determines if the vehicle qualifies or not. My 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning EV Extended Range Lariat truck had a bottom line "TOTAL MSRP $81,840" and "TOTAL VEHICLE & OPTIONS/OTHER 79,845.00" It qualified

I dread the first time I take my Lightning to a Tesla SC and get blasted by a Tesla owner Karen. Quoting the famous words of Rodney King: "People, I just want to say, can't we all get along? Can't we all get along?"

I’ve owned EVs since 2015. We currently own 2 2023 Model Ys and a Ford F150 Lightning EV. The only ICE vehicle we own is. Ford F-450 Dually diesel beast that is only used to tow our 5th wheel. If there was a Truck that could comfortably tow a 15,000 lb 5th week RV we would own it. The second...

Here is my 15400 with Personal info redacted

These people really irk me. My mother was using my deceased father's handicapped permit to park in a handicapped spot at Home Depot, even though 2 spots away there was an open parking spot. When I asked her not to do tis she got huffy with me. The original entitled "Karen" I told her that I...

I bought a Model Y, not an X.

THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!! I followed instructions and it stated: and IT SHOWED UP 5 MINUTES LATER!!!! Request Submitted Your document will be available in the Documents section of your Tesla Account within 24 hours

I haven’t received that form as of today. I purchased 3/16/23. I stopped by Tesla store last week. He said it should be in my documents. It wasn’t there. Then he said IRS extended deadline to 1/31. Ugh.

For those of you that paid cash for your car, do you remember providing your social security number to Tesla? Without that number I can’t see how Tesla can notify IRS that you bought a qualifying car. If you financed with Tesla you provided the SSAN for then to do a credit check. When I...

Now I have to be worried that my EV's may get keyed by some crazies that read social media. Posted by former President Trump today. Now he is going after EV's ""Included also are World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and 'sick' as the THUGS we have inside our...

I got 2023.44.30.2 Last Night one one of my Model Ys. The other is still on 2023.44.1 No IRS Letter in My Documents yet

I only enabled single pull for one trip. As I remember, when I did the single pull on roads without a center median I got a beep and a message that it was unable to activate and did not allow any form of cruise, TACC of autopilot.

Same here. I paid cash and don't recall providing my Tax ID number. The only identifying number I gave them was my Driver License number for the registration. TAX ID Number or Social Security Number. I don't remember providing this with the order and it is not on any of the paperwork. If I...

Your Zorbec looks like a good solution for the average Tesla owner. It transport 2 dogs with rear seats folded down. The Bedrug works for us since it it lightweight and it can be easily removed and hosed down if needed. Plus the dogs can't move it around when they try to dig into it.

It's likely true and if so it would be nice if Tesla disclosed their methodology to the public in writing. Another member posted that Tesla included IRS form 15400 with a recent delivery. That would make them in compliance. Why the change? The only thing I have writing is the IRS...

The way I read the IRS rules, the Jan 15th date is the date that dealers need to report to the IRS. The rules state at delivery the dealer should supply the confirming document to the new owner. That is what Ford did when I got my 2023 Lightning EV. How is Tesla getting away with...

When we purchased our MY in March we didn’t get any IRS/IRA form. Plus I paid cash and don’t remember giving them my Social Security Number that is required when reported to the IRS. When I called Tesla a few weeks ago they said I will receive the document before year end. They have 2 weeks to...

^^^This. My Ford Lightning EV automatically re-engages lane keeping after manual lane change. I wish Tesla would do this also.

I have a full set of Tesmanian and I am extremely pleased. The grooves collect sand and liquids. Just today i removed them and cleaned them. https://www.tesmanian.com/products/2020-tesla-model-y-floor-mats-full-set

Here's the list of the 10 cars/trucks that will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit next year that I got from a recent online article published today . This assumes that your MSRP is below the $50k and $80k threshold. If you add any options to a Base Model X it would put the MSRP over the...

Last night we had 2023.44.1 installed on our 2023 Model Ys. It allows you to enable Autopilot (lane keeping) by pulling down right stalk once instead of twice. I took it out for a test this evening. It worked well EXCEPT it doesn’t allow even basic cruise (TACC) to activate if there aren’t...

2023 Model Y Long Range. It’s still in my app as an upgrade for 9500 points.

My electrician used 6-6-8 SEU copper cable connected and configured to 60 amps. SEU 6AWG COPPER Service entrance cable is good to 65 amps @ 75 deg C vs 55 amps for NM-B

I just bought a 2023 F150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range 131 KWh battery, last month that qualifies for $7500 tax credit It was a special ordered truck that original ordering person didn’t buy. It has Phone as a Key, Hands Free Blue Cruise on mapped highways, Adaprive Cruise with Lane Keeping...

The IRA Inflation Reduction Act guidelines require that the dealer provides a signed document stating the vehicle you bought qualifies for tax credit. The document should have VIN number, your Social Security number, battery kWh, dealer/seller tax ID Date of sale value of tax credit and...

Don’t feel bad. The same thing fooled me when I was looking earlier this year.

No exact matches found. Displaying similar matches. So there were no AWD Ys in inventory and it showed similar available rear wheel drive Ys instead.

After I pulled up to a gas pump at a Costco my Lexus was hit by a uhaul truck trying to go around it. The uhaul driver said I backed into him. i called police. The gas station had cameras and the trooper looked At the video and wrote up the uhaul driver as at fault. Uhaul paid the repair...

I guess I was wrong stating they were not many. But the locations in Florida don’t do me any good. Here are maps of locations near either my house or cabin. The red is where we stay and maos show nearest discount tire locations.

discount tire stores are not plentiful in Florida. The nearest one to me is 70 miles away. I do have a tire store about 30 minutes from home that will schedule free rotations. I’ve used them to rotate the heavy tires on my Super Duty SRW truck and my Lexus ICE car. Even with an appt it’s 2...

I booked appt with app and tesla mobile tech came out the following week to my house and rotated tires in my driveway. Total bill $65 and didn’t waste 1/2 day at tire store. Tech was very careful. He hand torqued all lug nuts, measured tread depth and aired up all tires to 45 psi. I asked him...

Funny you should say that. It’s all relative. The first thing my wife said when she climbed into the Lightning was “boy this is small”. Our other truck is a Ford F-450 diesel dually beast so that was her comparison. The 450 is used to tow our 14,000 lb 5rg wheel RV. She hates driving the 450...

Yesterday I bought a Ford F-150 EV Lightning Extended Range Lariat from a dealer about 2 hours from home. The Lightning "Floats" compared to our Model Y's. I'm saying "f;oats" in a good way. You also don't feel every bump in the road like the Tesla. Plus it's much quieter. The Independent...

A Local Painless Dent repair guy has fixed much bigger dents for me.

We have 2 - 2023 Model Y’s. Mine is a 12/22 Freemont built and the wife’s is a 3/23 Austin built. I can’t get both car seat positions the same settings. I seem to sit higher in my wife’s car even with the seat set fully lowest position. Saying that the seats are both comfortable for my 6’ 250...

I have 2 friends who are strong Trump supporters. 2 months after one wife loudly stated they would never own an EV if Biden supports them they bought a Mustang Mach -E. Recently they replaced it with a brand new GT Mach-E. The other friend has been driving a Tesla Y for 2 years now. He...

Sounds like it is a problem with the charger in the car. Superchargers don't use the car charger.

Yes, the wife's phone. She was with me. It's possible one of us activated truck open on an iPhone but that doesn't explain the recording gap. We also have apple watches with app to control the tesla. My thoughts were that perhaps the wife or I hit the open truck on the watch but it gives...

Went to a Dr Appt today. 13:50 Arrived at Dr Office 14:27 Got iphone alert that trunk is open? Looked at app and showed that the truck is open. 14:30 Went to parking lot and confirmed that truck is open. nothing missing. Mirrors were folded in so doors were locked. 14:31 closed truck with app...
