    2023 Model Y Rear Caliper Bolt

    They had the part # but said they only came with the entire assembly. I bit the bullet and paid $976 for one bolt. I’ll be balled up in the corner for awhile.

    2023 Model Y Rear Caliper Bolt

    I just called, it's actually the bolt you can see on figure 8 that goes through the rubber sleeve. The ones you remove to change the pads.

    2023 Model Y Rear Caliper Bolt

    They claims that they don't even list the bolts and can't order them. They said they have to replace the entire caliper just to get a bolt.

    2023 Model Y Rear Caliper Bolt

    I need to locate the rear caliper bolt. I heard a knocking from the rear about 3 months after my calipers where painted. I took it to the Tesla service center and they provided me an estimate. Well, one of the bolts came out and they don't stock bolts. I have to replace the entire caliper...

    Pre-Delivery Proof of Insurance - Texas

    I'm guessing you've already taken care of this. The reason you need it prior to delivery is because you need it to get the 30 temp tag in Texas. I'm in TX so I know what you are talking about. Tesla won't let you take delivery unless you show proof of insurance. Also, they have to do the...

    Looks like Taycan prices are dropping rapidly as well

    This is what GAP insurance is for. My CU sells it for $299 on each loan. I've seen Dealerships sell it for as much as $1500.

    Supercharger - Jackson, Mississippi

    Thought I would add that Tesla is adding super chargers in the Walmart parking lot off Hwy 18 and I-20. I grew up in Jackson. That’s not really the safest area after dark.

    Wall Charger tripping adjacent Breaker

    I bought that one from HF. It does the job. I randomly check my new panel when I'm charging and everything is cool. I have a 60 amp breaker installed but I dropped the wall charger down to 40 amps. That gives me fast enough charging.

    Vehicle may not restart Message

    I don't know but I wasn't taking a change on a 5 day old car. I told them they needed to fix it now. They took it in and gave me a loaner. I wasn't going to keep driving around a brand new 5 day old car with that urgent message.

    Texas new EV tax

    $200 yearly is more than the average Texas driver pays at the pump. The average Texas driver burned through ~55 million BTUs of motor gasoline in 2018, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That’s equal to about 440 gallons of gas. At $0.20 per gallon, the...

    Sold Four (4) tpms Sensors from 2023 MY

    I bought a set of wheels for my MYLR and the seller wasn't sure is the sensors were removed or not. I put the the wheels on and in a matter of 10 minutes, I was getting my psi readings again on all 4 wheels. I have the set of sensors that I removed from my original wheels to have installed in...

    Tesla CCS Adaptor

    My search didn’t pull up anything. When I bought my 2023 MY in March, Tesla was selling the CCS adaptors on their site. Now that I’m looking to purchase, they are no longer on their site. Did Tesla stop selling the CCS adapters?

    My error came and went after having only 500 miles on the car. They consider this a critical code so take it in asap. My SC moved stuff around and told me to bring it ASAP.

    How many of you removed your Hubcaps?

    No because the foam strip that came with the China caps were garbage. They had no adhesive on them.

    How many of you removed your Hubcaps?

    I bought hubcaps at first but then I learned that they scratched the heck out of my rim. They basically left curb rash and scratches on my wheels. I've since had my wheels powder coated gloss black and through the hubcaps away. Rims look spanking new.

    Worth reselling and buying another MYLR?

    What insane individual offered you $52k for a used wrecked Model Y when they can get a brand new unwrecked one for $52,999?

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

    Not apples to apples. When I got to sell/trade the RX350, value will be calculated based over depreciation from original sticker. With the price drop with Tesla, the everything will be based out this latest price drop. I guarantee the auction books have updated the used price of the Teslas.

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

    Is it a loan through Tesla? If you were approved for the higher amount then you will be approved for the lower amount. Unless you took delivery, you cost should update. YOur loan will then update.

    Tesla complaint. Switching back to State Farm

    Look at the data more closely. You have to compare that to the percentage of drivers present. You can just say more accidents happen and not show the total amount of drivers. If a drunk driver hits you, who's to say he/she had insurance. The risk is still greater to Tesla.

    Tesla complaint. Switching back to State Farm

    It's not that you are a worse driver after 10pm. Data shows that more accidents occur in those time spans. Therefore, Tesla deems that time frame more riskier to drive. It's not person, it's basic numbers and data. Just because you don't drink doesn't means others aren't.

    Not exactly. Looking at the old busbar, he thinks it was a bad connection because of deteriorated busbar.

    Wall Charger tripping adjacent Breaker

    Install went well. Not something I want to do for a living. It took about 6 hrs. He gave me some of his times. For example, he like to put the big ticket items ( big energy guzzlers ie wall charger, over,) first on the panel where the power comes in. Then he puts the smaller breakers below...

    Wall Charger tripping adjacent Breaker

    With the old panel off, we were able to inspect more. Looks like the conduit on the right only contain wire for upstairs a/c and 2 20 amp circuits. The rest of the wires ran through the back into the house.

    It was at 7 cents. My new contract is at 12 cents.

    Wall Charger tripping adjacent Breaker

    That's where living in Texas is different. We called and my city doesn't require a permit to change out a panel. You only need a permit when establishing new service. All work has to follow NEC 2020.

    Wall Charger tripping adjacent Breaker

    The bottom conduit houses the 3 wires for the wall charger. The right conduit has a boat load of wires that feed the house ( 40 amp oven and a bunch of 20 amp feeds). Then there is a back cut that feeds the rest of the wires. The right conduit is original and mirrors the majority of houses...

    I just checked and no strands were missing. Only imperfections are where it was clamped down. Tomorrow.

    Wall Charger tripping adjacent Breaker

    I do have one other question. I read here that Romex can’t be installed in conduit. I just remembered that ever home in my area has the panel on the outside with a few feet of conduit taking all the romex into the house.

    Wall Charger tripping adjacent Breaker

    Wire were hard to unscrew. I actually played around with charging X at 60 and 50 amps to take temps. Temps never exceeded 120 degrees. Bus bar is in a 31 yr old panel that sits outside. L1/L2 were #6 awg THHN and ground was #10 awg THHN. screws were tight. (No torqywrench to verify).

    Wall Charger tripping adjacent Breaker

    So remember panel is original to the house which is 31 yrs old. Panel is outside in Tx heat and facing the west. The afternoon sun cooks my panel. Once 60 amp breaker was installed, it was never touched again.

    Wall Charger tripping adjacent Breaker

    I will look closely at this and check. I removed the wire from the conduit to investigate. My other is when charging the Model X, I didn’t have one issue. I didn’t get the crazy temps till I hooked up the amodel Y. That should have no bearing. Temps on the breaker did go up till I...
