Just looked into the Discount Tire warranty. I wish I knew about this before I swapped my tires at the Tesla service center. Oh well! Thank you for that information, much appreciated. Warranty seems to be a must these days!

Title. My inclination would be to change this tire but does anyone else have a similar experience in terms of where the tear is? Additionally, I was able to drive it all the way home (4ish hours from the pothole) on the highway with zero issues and minimal potholes throughout the way, although...

Basically the title. If they’re serious about adding a front bumper camera (or three in some speculation/rumor articles I’ve seen), does this make the 2023 MY an objectively bad purchase? Like many others, I rushed to get the MY delivered to me before March 31st since there was so much...

Are you saying that you rarely used EAP but used Autopilot still? Or did you prefer driving the car itself? One thing that has me paranoid is phantom braking so just wanted to see if you've dealt with that before. Great idea! I've actually never used a Supercharger yet so that's something I'll...

Hey y'all, as the title says, I'm planning a little road trip up to New Jersey sometime in the fall (ideally around mid to late October). Has anyone done this road trip, particularly from the southeast all the way up to NJ/NYC? I had a few questions as I've never taken my Tesla on a long...

That makes a lot of sense! Reading through some of these other posts about regenerative braking, it gave me the impression that using the brake pedal is strongly discouraged. This response was exactly what I was looking for, I wanted to know the style of driving people used with regards to...

I tend to use this for the most part but it does get annoying when the car gives too much distance at times and I get honked at and overtaken frequently. Better safe than sorry tho!

That’s what I figured. I just always hear people saying how they never use the brake pedal and it got me to thinking how it’s possible for some scenarios because there’s still some delay from when you let your foot off the accelerator and the car actually stopping, especially at higher speeds.

If you’re referring to how I timed it with an ICE car, I had a good idea of when to apply the brakes with that. With the Tesla, it’s hard for me to estimate how long it’ll take for the car to slow down reasonably with the regenerative braking at really high speeds such as on a highway. I’m a new...

Hey everyone, Basically the title is my question. How do I figure out how to time regenerative braking in fast speed scenarios like a highway? I have a good grasp of the regenerative braking/letting go of the accelerator timing at lower speeds i.e 45 MPH areas and streetlight to streetlight...

Just got my car back from the SC - here's the update: They diagnosed it and found that a rear wheel speed sensor was soft-set which they had to clean and reconnect. The regenerative braking was disabled as a result of the wheel speed signal not properly set which required more effort to slow...

I’ve read that being a common issue along with rodents chewing up the wires. I honestly forgot to check in the moment, although I guess the SC will let me know if that’s a possibility now. I’ll keep everyone updated with what they say. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious.

I firmly believe it's from the car since I noticed smoke when pulling it out and parking it on the street. The Wall Connector has hardly been used and I used some highly reviewed (and Tesla certified) electricians for the Wall Connector install so I'm hoping they did a proper job there. I can...

I managed to get ahold of the roadside assistance and they noted that there were alerts that require the car to be towed. Looks like it's being picked up tonight and dropped off at the service center. I don't think it could be my Wall Connector either as I've hardly used it and the smell was not...

I can give that a go although it seems like the smell is going away gradually. Is it possible this was just a result of having to use manual brakes the entire drive back? I noticed some clear puddles underneath my Tesla once I backed it out of my garage but I'm guessing that's just the AC...

Can't seem to find it, only giving me options for categories like Heating/Air Conditioning, Flat Tire, etc

No more smoke but still a burning scent in the garage, could it be the Wall Connector? I haven't even used it recently.

Hi All, So I went for a drive today to finish calibrating the car and all of a sudden, all of my features were disabled such as auto steer, TACC, ABS, regenerative braking, and some other things. As soon as I got home, I noticed a burning type smell coming from the car along with some smoke...

Just so I understand clearly, autopilot noob here as well, if I have TACC and Autosteer activated, it will maintain my speed for me while also keeping me in the center of the lane. If there’s a car ahead, it will follow at the distance you set it to (right steering wheel adjustment button). If...

Car was delivered today and was in pristine condition! SA at delivery was super friendly and patient and answered all my questions. Overall a great experience! Plus getting it the day before they change the tax credit guidelines is just a cherry on top!

Thanks all for the reassuring words and pointers/tips. I’ve watched a few videos online about it and it looks pretty straightforward actually. I guess it’s something I’ll just have to get a feel for. Maybe do a couple laps around the parking lot first before I get onto the road! We’ll see how it...

Hey everyone, I’m going to get my MY delivered this week and now that it’s so near, I just realized I have to get used to regenerative braking. I’m actually pretty nervous as this will be my first time ever driving a model Y. I had test driven a model 3 but it was about a month or two back and...

Hopefully we can get them before the guidelines get updated!

Finally got to schedule mine. Originally scheduled for this Saturday but then was told it’s not going to be here until the 29th so 30th at the earliest! Scheduled for the afternoon, cannot wait!

Thanks both. I’ll reach out to a few more just to get a few more quotes but it looks like 600-700s is the most common price I’m getting.

Thanks, looks like that’s around the ballpark of the costs I’m getting.

I’ll be sure to do that, thanks! I’m using electricians mostly found on Tesla’s website so hopefully they’re up to code.

Thanks. I’m thinking 600-700 range is fine given the rebates that I’ll get but 900 and above is way too rich for this. I’ve called a few people and they all are hovering around 700 more or less.

Awesome! Did you get an email or text to do so?

So as it stands, I’m going for a Wall Connector installation. I have it on hand and am reaching out to local electricians for quotes. My panel is located within the garage itself so there’s not much labor here since it’ll be a couple feet away from the panel. What is a reasonable cost for this...

I received an email letting me know a VIN was assigned.

Reached out to them over chat and was basically told the same thing the app says which is to wait for them to reach out regarding steps for delivery. Fingers crossed that it’s soon!

MYLR5 Red/Black OD:2/19 EDD1: April-May EDD2: April 24th - June 5th VIN: 3/12 EDD: 3/28-3/31 Haven’t gotten any email or text to schedule delivery yet. Should I reach out to Tesla for an update or wait a few more days?

Received VIN on 3/12, EDD is showing 3/28-3/31. When should I expect to be able to schedule delivery pickup? Is it worth giving Tesla a call just to get an update?

MYLR Red/Black (5 seater) OD: 2/19 EDD: April - May EDD2: April 24th - June 5th VIN: 3/12 EDD3: 3/28-3/31 No delivery date schedule email/text yet, when should I expect that to come through? Location: GA

Also got moved to June - July from “March 8 - March 15th” then “February - March”

Is this good news or bad news in terms of expecting delivery sooner? My original EDD was showing March 8 - March 15 but I also had mine updated to February - March. Not sure what to expect here!

Very true. It just seems baffling to me that they want the battery sourcing credit to take effect now in 2023, what is the point of that if 0 cars qualify for it? Wouldn't it make more sense to announce that it takes place in 2024 onwards to give these companies time and give people more clarity...

I placed an order for a M3 LR in a couple of weeks ago and I'm seeing an EDD of March 15th. However, with the updated guidelines expected to come out from the Treasury in March, what's the likelihood that Model 3 qualifies for the full $7500? From my understanding, there's two $3750 credits...

Panel has plenty of room for additional breakers. I believe there's some stud behind the drywall next to the panel on either side so should be all good on that front. Appreciate the responses, trying to save as much money as possible here since I've heard these installations can get super pricy!

That makes sense to me! How long was your install time overall? Is this less than an hour type of thing?

Thanks for the reply! Tesla's website made me a bit anxious since they said that the power "may be out for multiple hours" and I was wondering why that would be the case!

Definitely going with a Tesla Wall Connector just for peace of mind! Thank you for the reply, appreciate it.

Hey all, I'm on the lookout for local electricians to get a Wall Connector installed in the upcoming months. I'm in the Johns Creek/Cumming area. Anyone have a good contact, and how long was your installation time? Looking to install the Connector right beside my panel to cut on costs. Thanks!

Noted! My main concern was the power being out for a prolonged period of time. If I can aim to get it done during lunch time, I think that would be perfect! Valid point about the UPS, thanks for the suggestion!

That's great to hear, thank you for the reply!

Hi Everybody, I think I'm going to go in and buy a Model 3LR, assuming I can get it in time before the tax credit potentially goes away. Anywho, I'm wondering how long a Wall Connector installation would take. It's not so much the amount of time that the overall process takes that matters for...
