    I Have Literally No Use For My 10,000 Loyalty Credits

    I think you can by multiple years of premium connectivity and stack them. Not sure but recall reading that's possible. They also may change purchase options before expiration comes in a year so it may pay to wait and see what other options come up or what needs you may realize.

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

    Got the update yesterday and started the free trial. No previous trial or purchase on our '23 MYP. Drove about 50 miles to try it out and was pleased. Had a few times I needed to take over - nothing major though. My wife normally drives the car during the week and I only get it on weekends...

    Passenger door check mechanism not working

    No hassle given by SC. They were good about fixing the issues. Thankfully we haven't had a need to see them again in the last 9 months.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Me too. Glad to find out about this here (thanks to reddit) instead of waiting for SC to share the solution was right for me to use.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Texted SC about the form and got the following response: You will receive an in-app notification during the week of January 8, 2024. If you still don't see anything in your customer documents please let us know.

    Vendor 🥳🥳GIVEAWAY! Teslaunch New Product Drop: Join Our Test Program

    Would be interested in protection for our MPY with 21" Uberturbines. Three of the fours are already curbed within the first six months - a couple of them have been curbed more than once. So it won't take long to see how well these work.

    Model Y Performance range

    As others have said it can be done with the right conditions. On the first leg of a trip from north of Atlanta to Florida, I got 304 miles in my 23 MYP going from 100% to 2% when I rolled into Jasper FL SC. I had AP set to the speed limit but my average speed was lower due to traffic. Just me...

    Bought a New Mobile Connector, received as used one, WWYD?

    It was all done in person at the SC, nothing in the app. They created a service ticket.

    Nope, still not working for us even with a force stop.

    What happened when a Tesla came to Ekalaka, Montana

    Cute story. I would have so tempted to plug in too like a power pirate. But I probably wouldn't have. I wonder if this spot is on plug share.

    Factory screen protector

    We kept ours on about 3 months waiting until all the delivery service issues and tint were done.

    Bought a New Mobile Connector, received as used one, WWYD?

    I got my MC through parts at my local service center. I was concerned after seeing posts like this but the box and contents were pristine in my case.

    Tesla sets charge limit to 90%

    My app says 80% for the charging tip. I think it used to say 90. I still use 50% as the limit anyway for our normal daily driving.

    Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 and Wall Monitor Readings Questions

    @MYPWR I have the v2 WC, not the v3 like you so I don't get the data to help you compare. But I have been taking temp readings using a cheap infrared thermometer. And I live the Tampa area also - so we are both dealing with similar ambient temps even if we have different equipment. I have my...

    Sorry to hear that happened. Let us know what they say. Hopefully it will be an easy warranty swap.

    Renting a Y from Hertz?

    That would be awesome. Wish they had that a few months ago when I was in a Hertz MY for 20 days.

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    Who's a dealer? Do you mean a sales associate (SA) at a showroom? Inventory discounts were common last quarter but it seems hit or miss this quarter. Check the inventory on the website. SA doesn't set discounts as far as I know, but they probably mean they've seen discounts on unsold cars...

    Location Aware Trunk Height?

    Setting the power liftgate height on the MY is a similar process to other cars I have tried this with feature - hold at the position desired and press the button until it beeps. That leads me to assume that the liftgate height is stored in the motor module for the liftgate, rather than the MCU...

    Y Performance Model- Looking for Insights

    Asked my wife who just changed from a 2010 Pilot to 23 MYP. MYP sits lower than Pilot and she's still not comfortable with that after 3 months. Otherwise she likes the responsiveness even in chill mode. Much easier to zip in and around town for errands.

    cooled ventilated seats?

    Not sure about others, but my back can get pretty warm against the seat even on a cloudy day. Even though ours is garaged, I start to notice it after 20-30 minutes of driving. Happens in other cars, not just Tesla. Happens regardless of seat color. Perforated seating surfaces help some...

    Do I have to buy and carry extra charger in the car for long trips?

    Just got back from a 1,189 road trip with the UMC and J1772 adaptor along for the ride. Arrived at a relatives house with 13% SOC and plugged into their 110v 10-15 garage outlet with their permission. That was my main source as I charged mostly overnight for 5 days. I also used the J1772...

    Model Y Performance - what are you guys at Wh/mi?

    Just finished a 1,189 mile roundtrip in our MYP from Florida up to Georgia and back. Averaged 278 Wh/mi overall. I mostly used AP set to the speed limit which was 70mph for the most part, but with holiday traffic congestion there were stretches of lesser speeds. Great for efficiency though...

    Sudden drop in highway speed (not phantom)

    I just finished a 1,189 trip and had a couple of sudden drops in speed and had to take over. But I am kind of used to this from the system in my Honda which can have these issues too even with radar. The good news is that the auto wipers only came on once during that trip and that was while it...

    Effectiveness of cooling in the boot/trunk

    I would get a battery or usb clip fan that could be mounted near the back of the 2nd row to provide some airflow to the cargo area. Also, even though the hatch glass is darkened, it lets in more heat than the roof glass. I've found items can get warm under the hatch glass - that could be one...

    temp nema 5-15 extension cord 25 ft safe?

    Probably fine with at least 14awg at that length. If not much a price difference go with 12awg or larger. However, I haven't done this yet so hopefully others will chime in with experience.

    Passenger door check mechanism not working

    Got the car back the other day and the issue is fixed. The door panel has to come off as the 'receiver' end of the check strap gets installed in the door cavity first - it's held on by those two bolts you see sticking out. Then you attach the strap with the single bolt to the frame. Maybe it...

    Scheduled departure and weekday off peak option

    We've been using scheduled departure with success during the work week. While we don't have off peak rates, we set the off peak option to end at the same time as the scheduled departure of 8:15am for the M-F morning commute. However, on weekends we don't have a normal departure schedule and...

    Any goodwill gesture for post delivery issues?

    Our MYP has been in service for about half of the two months we've owned it as they worked on delivery issues and subsequent fixes. We have it back now and hopefully we'll won't be seeing the service center for a while (not that the folks there weren't nice). I realize the obligation of Tesla...

    Tampa FL Service Center

    I've been dealing with the Tampa service center a lot since delivery in March. They're not very responsive to messaging in the app. Could be better on that front. I've resorted a couple times to stopping by to talk to the supervisors or managers when I had an unanswered question and there are...

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Yes, it will be interesting to see what Tesla does about those who ordered and completed the delivery steps prior them adding the SSN collection. Seems those who completed ordering and delivery steps prior to May are impacted.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Thanks all for the feedback so far. Anyone else who ordered before Tesla asked for your SSN during the order process get contacted later by Tesla for that info?

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Yes, there were changes to eligible vehicles when the new critical mineral and battery component requirements went into effect in mid-April. However, the sale reporting requirement was part of the guidance prior to that so that wasn't new in April. The timing could be coincidental if that's...

    So far it seems like they starting asking for SSN as early as May whether someone was just ordering or accepting delivery of a car ordered earlier.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Not sure about previous tax credits, but the current one requires that the seller report certain information about you. That must be why Tesla started collecting the information recently. From https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/credits-for-new-clean-vehicles-purchased-in-2023-or-after:

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    I ordered in early February 2023 and took delivery in late March and don't recall Tesla asking for my SSN during the order process or at delivery. I assumed Tesla would be collecting this information at a later date. While at the local SC the other week, I asked an SA about this, and they...

    You baby your car and then 5 minutes with a valet....

    You baby your car and then 5 minutes with a valet....

    When I look at the onscreen dashcam app, I only ever see one Recent clip on the left side on mine. Seems to show the last 30 to 45 minutes but I've only looked through the Recent clip on a few occasions. Then there are separate sections on the left for saved Sentry or Dashcam clips. Do you...

    You baby your car and then 5 minutes with a valet....

    If they could delete the recent file, then the footage of your drive there would have been gone too. Unless you saved your drive there as a dashcam clip beforehand.
