    Model 2

    I would wonder about that. The body style would be different (compact crossover vs sedan), so I’m not sure that would be a condition. If anything, I’d say definitely before the Model Y as I’d think it would fit between the Y and 3 in terms of size and style and therefore pricing.

    Tesla: Highlights from our upcoming Spring Release below

    Don’t have an iPhone. I have a Samsung ZFlip3. While @MP3Mike’s post is more assumption based on an un-official post, it’s not like I’m saying they “won’t” do it that way, just that it could be done without it. For the time being, I’m just happy my trunk opens without me having to trigger the...

    Tesla: Highlights from our upcoming Spring Release below

    Well, energy consumption is a different matter. I just did a quick test. My phone said it was connected from my dining room table. From there is about 8 ft to the first wall in the direction of the car, then about 18 ft of driveway between my house and my garage where my MYP sits. My Honda Fit...

    Cup holder inserts making cup holders to small?

    I use a cupholder insert (single piece that spans both) in the cupholder to hold my… cupholder. I use a 50oz mug, so that obviously wouldn’t fit in any kind of normal cupholder. For my previous cars, I took some PVC pipes and connectors to make a square (covered with a microfiber cloth to catch...

    Tesla: Highlights from our upcoming Spring Release below

    My question to you is… even though it says it’s connected, have you checked to see if it actually unlocks? I’ve checked the distance it takes for the car to automatically lock and I also know that my phone can say it’s connected while being much further… which implies to me, being connected...

    Tesla: Highlights from our upcoming Spring Release below

    Except it can "know" where you are. All it has to do is watch you from one of its cameras (in addition to phone key)... most likely a crotch shot. The BT will let the car know the phone key is close and the camera can (attempt?) distinguish where you are. Without cameras, it does have a vague...

    Well, that’s lovely…

    I put a link in the “spare tire” words. It’s from Amazon. There’s similar one you also can find on Amazon, from “Stance Magic.”

    Well, that’s lovely…

    I put the spare in the right passenger leg area, because I have crates in the cargo area for my delivery orders. I’ve seen where someone modified the sub trunk a little to put a spare in there. It lifts the entire floor up about an inch (I think), which I don’t mind. But, I’m not sure I’m ready...

    Well, that’s lovely…

    I have a spare tire if it had been worse than that minor leak.

    Well, that’s lovely…

    I realized I might have to schedule an appointment after I posted. That being said, last night, I had to quickly switch over to the OEM wheels because my sister needed me to drop her and her family off at the airport this morning (just got back home). I didn’t want to drive 2-3 hours (round) on...

    Well, that’s lovely…

    It’s a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS I bought with 19 Enkei wheels, so it’s not EV specific. As mentioned before, I struggle with trying to plug it, while it was already unmounted, so it’s still a no-go while mounted.

    Well, that’s lovely…

    Yeah, I got this one: DENVIX Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor, 2X Faster Inflation Cordless Air Compressor, Electric Air Pump for Car Tires with 15000 mAh Battery Capacity, 45W 3X Faster Charging Amazon.com I wasn’t confident a 12v based from Amazon would work too well with the 16v LV...

    Well, that’s lovely…

    Woke up to find my phone only half charged… apparently I moved it after placing it on my wireless charger. Then, on the way to work, I went to turn off my fog lights… to find a low tire pressure light. The screen with the pressures said it was 32 psi, while the rest were 46/47. Initially...

    light icon disappeared after update

    They aren’t supposed to be on with DRL. Are you sure they were on with DRL? Are you sure you were on DRL and not just full headlights to begin with?

    Black rubber stoppers

    The bump stops have a slightly different shape, the side of the one in the image has a “lip” as opposed to the straight side for the bump stop. Plus the bump stops are much bigger, which we can’t really see in the image without a point of reference. Like @VipinLJ said, it’s likely a nipple cap...

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enable for one month trial this week

    So far, I don’t have the FSD trial. Based on what I’ve read online, those of us with software version 2024.8.x are still on FSD 11 and no free trial. Those that have the free trial have 2024.2.x or 2024.3.x, both of which would be FSD 12. I took my MYP to a service center to replace a...

    Living in Condo w/ Carport. What charger to install?

    That depends on the management of the condo, you’ll have to talk to them.

    Anyone use the OEM front license plate holder?

    Yup. My family in San Diego has this huge Toyota Sequoia that they don’t often drive. It’s parked in the driveway, but it also requires informing the DMV, since we’re not using it, we should suspend the registration until we use it. Plus you don’t pay for registration while it’s suspended...

    MYP tire rotation

    No, you can’t. Asymmetric means there’s an inside and outside (relative to the middle of the car), so you cannot flip them on the wheels.

    MYP tire rotation

    You can find out for yourself. Directional tires have an arrow imprinted on them to indicate direction of rotation (for best performance). A more visually popping clue would be the tread pattern, directional tires usually end up with V or arrow like patterns, ‘>’. Asymmetric tires will have...

    Backup camera

    And the back windows aren't your only options... I rely on the side mirrors most of the time with older cars. With my MYP, I actually rely on the side repeaters. And in both cases, it gives me better positioning relative to all the crap I could potentially hit/runover.

    Tesla Credits Refund?

    You may have to look specifically under the redeem option of referral credits. From the main screen where you see your car, tap on the menu at the top right, then “refer and earn” and finally redeem at the bottom.

    spoiler install issue, question

    A. Before you removed the protective strip in the adhesive, did you do a “dry” run with placing it on the trunk and seeing how it looked? Maybe the exact position is higher or lower? B. It could be gapped by design. I don’t know, just throwing this out there.

    UI_a112 - USB device malfunction - I/O Error

    Just notice I have the same error in the notification from 4 am. My dash and music appear to be working, so I have no idea what to think of it.

    Hazard lights and walk away auto-lock

    Seems like the recent update fixed this issue. Tesla called me earlier to talk about the trunk. Specifically they were asking about my two devices that use the Tesla app. One being my Samsung phone and the other is my iPad. I use my phone as a key, but not the iPad because I usually leave it in...

    I miss Creep

    It's unfortunate from an "absolute" standpoint, but I've never cared for it. The HR-V that I traded in had brake-hold function, and my other car, 2010 Honda Fit is a manual transmission... so no creep in either. For all the cars I've ever driven before that.. I'm either stopped or I'm going...

    Torquing Lug Nuts with Torque Sticks 120ftlbs or 140?

    I had a air impact, but I think it failed at some point. And I also have a battery impact. But I don't really use either of them. Mostly cause I forget. That being said, I do notice that when putting wheels back on, there is plenty of movement from the wheel if I keep hitting the tire as I...

    Is this possible?

    Does the navigation see the alley as a roadway? If not, it won’t matter if you can set a pin or not, it will always route to the street in front. Edit: pretty embarrassing for me, but I’ve yet to even be able to save any favorites. Though I can put pins, don’t know how to save them. Guess I...

    TPMS on non factory wheels

    I have a feeling that tire calculator isn’t properly setup, or at least has the right inputs. Seems a bit much for it to say you need only 36 psi when going from 255/45/19 to 235/55/18. Especially when others, including myself, having been making even bigger changes, going from 21” to 19” and...

    Wall Connector L1 to neutral = 49V, L2 to neutral = 120V, L1 to L2 = 61V

    Did you try removing the wires to inspect the ends? Maybe you need to cut and redo the ends. Additionally, try pulling the breaker and checking the contacts. If you have a multimeter or something, check if the internals of the breaker to confirm it’s fine.

    Hazard lights and walk away auto-lock

    It works normally when the hazard lights are off. The seat sensors work with the hazard lights on or off, at least it triggers the lower volume for my music turns off the headlights (set to AUTO) the moment I get up after opening the doors. I originally put music, but I think the trigger for...

    Hazard lights and walk away auto-lock

    I know I said sleep, but I meant whatever it does when it turns off the screen. For PCs (and the even some consoles) there are different levels of “sleep” states. One type of sleep still allows networking functions and specific systems to continue running. A deeper type of sleep shuts down even...

    Hazard lights and walk away auto-lock

    Update: I checked my brother-in-law’s MYLR and his did lock even with the hazards flashing. This, plus the DRL issue and the fact my trunk sometimes doesn’t unlock when I approach makes me think it related… possibly to the service request, which was for the trunk issue. Previously it never...

    Hazard lights and walk away auto-lock

    So I’ve noticed recently that if I have my hazard lights flashing, the car won’t lock and “sleep” (I have sentry on). Even if I lock it remotely later, it doesn’t “sleep.” I was fairly certain it locked and went to sleep with the hazard lights on before, but sometimes I do doubt myself. Is...

    New 2024 Model Y Break-in period?

    I’ve had an occasion or two where I was a bit too aggressive with brand new tires and found out exactly why the recommendation of taking it easy the first few hundred miles or so. I think it’s really more of, “for most people” so long as they aren’t super spirited or aggressive, any kind of...

    2020 Model Y Headlight Replacement.

    Well, this stinks. Just found out that one of my DRLs isn’t working properly. I pulled into a parking spot and saw my lights reflecting off the store front window that one side was bright but the other wasn’t. The lights all work fine in normal mode (headlights ON). When you look at the lights...

    The Modern Spare tire doesn't secure in the trunk, or does it?

    As is, it doesn’t fit under the trunk floor. But at least one person did cut up the under trunk liner to make it mostly fit. It still needs a strap to “secure” it along with the facts it over hangs the deeper sub trunk and lifts the floor of the trunk about an inch. I put mine where the leg...

    Should I change both rear tires?

    I’ve tried plugging a tire in the past, reaming it out and all. But just like @Gucci7, I couldn’t put in the new plug. Took it to a tire shop and saw them inflate the tire. I’m guessing the pressure stretches out the hole enough to get the plug in. That being said, if I get a flat and the tire...

    Front Door Height Alignment

    That “knob” looks more like an adjustment to whatever is inside… possibly something to do with how easy/hard it is to swing the door. One of the bolts in the picture shows signs of being worked on (paint is scrubbed off the bolt head by a socket). It’s possible that whatever the reason it’s was...

    Performance: RWD vs DM (Chill Mode)

    I leave mine in normal. I don’t even remember if I tried chill mode in the beginning for testing purposes. More often than not, when I used similar options in previous vehicles (like eco mode), I would be more aggressive with the pedal. It’s as if I was trying to make up for the difference. In...

    Help with phone key disconnecting

    Is it just disconnecting or is it actually preventing you from entering the car? My phone (Samsung) always disconnects after some time, most likely due to being at the edge of the Bluetooth range. But for the most part, it doesn’t prevent me from getting in the car.

    Anyone use OEM console holder?

    Sure, I use the ports in the back of the console to charge a portable battery bank… and had the cable head bent due to things moving around. That being said, why are people making a fuss of this? Who cares why they’re using the port, it’s their choice. There’s no need for any kind of...

    Aftermarket Wheels For Model Y

    Wheel offset is only one spec of a wheel. Any change in occurrences of curb rash isn’t just tied to offset. At 10 mm (assuming everything else is the same), it “will” have some effect. But unlikely to be significant. Might not even be noticeable in handling. The way I see it, if you’re...

    drift / track mode - how much does it let you play?

    While I have an MYP, I haven’t used track mode all that much, so I can’t really say anything about the “nanny.” I’ve also seen a couple of different YT videos too. I would chalk it all to a difference in driving style and experience (both in general and with the specific vehicle). Every car and...

    After system update, spotify shows on screen

    I’d just chalk it up to being a bug. One way to get rid of it is to tap the volume icon, go to sound settings and finally sources. Then turn off Spotify as one of the sources available assuming you have no intention of using it.
