    Thule Roof Cargo Box Size?

    Just to let everyone know that no cutting into the Thule Force Sport box itself is required and the box fits on the Model Y bars, with minor modification of peripheral plastic pieces: Thule Force XT Sport roof cargo box installed.

    Thule Force XT Sport roof cargo box installed.

    Here is how to actually install the Thule Force XT Sport box, which is a unique half-width roof box allowing one to still to mount a couple bikes on the other side of the roof. The modifications do not effect any structural components, in my opinion. The box itself fits between the correctly...

    iPhones overheat when using console wireless charger on my Model Y

    Thx, I tried that, but it still got hot. It did charge faster, though. Not just a couple % per 30 minutes, but maybe 30% in 30 minutes. Very noticeably faster. I had a careful look and placing the iPhone 12 upside-down (with screen still up) actually makes it rest flat on the tray. Then, the...

    Could phantom breaking be due to ML training set?

    Our new 2023 Model Y has hit the brakes 3 times with TACC on. Once was incredibly hard (caught by the seatbelt), the other 2 times were merely 'hard' (things sliding off the seats). These were truly random events on different points in 2 lane road with nothing interesting happening (no curves or...

    iPhones overheat when using console wireless charger on my Model Y

    My iPhone12 (regular) gets hot and barely charges in the 2023 Model Y wireless charger pad (left side). My phone doesn't get hot on my 2 different Qi chargers on my desks. There is a nice teardown video () showing there are 2 coils: low and center on each side (left & right). The power output...

    2023 MYLR7, 19”, tow - 1 month (500 miles) into ownership ( and comparison against 2020 Kia Niro EV)

    Thanks for looking all that up. I had read that as well, but it must not be working then. Sounds like I need to put in a service request. Maybe my glasses are too thick, or maybe it's the sunglasses that I wear half the time? I was definitely looking straight ahead when the blue ribbon bar came...

    2023 MYLR7, 19”, tow - 1 month (500 miles) into ownership ( and comparison against 2020 Kia Niro EV)

    I was pointing out the fact that there is no (working?) blind-spot detection that alerts you in this 2023 Model Y. Compare that to a car that costs literally 50% of the Model Y and only gets about 40 miles less _real_ range, Kia nailed it in terms of driver assist and safety features. Heck, even...

    2023 MYLR7, 19”, tow - 1 month (500 miles) into ownership ( and comparison against 2020 Kia Niro EV)

    My better half drives it mostly, but I take it if the need arises (long distance or loaded with family). I did add a 2" convext mirror to the driver side mirror and now at least the driver's side blind spot is taken care off. The right side probably also needs it, as somehow I almost cut into a...

    2023 MYLR7, 19”, tow - 1 month (500 miles) into ownership ( and comparison against 2020 Kia Niro EV)

    I haven't taken my Niro EV in at all for service, everything has been working from day 1 :). Probably due for brake fluid check in another year or 2. But, I hear you on sleazy sales/service centers. I started shopping at the Kia in Everett and it was abysmal. Lying cheats. Ended up buying at Lee...

    Autopilot needs manual lane change without disengage

    I thought I tried that, but too late now: I was driving a loaner while my Y was getting a water leak repaired.

    2021 MYP Trunk Leak - bad service experiences

    Thanks for your immediate support. The drain plugs let out a bit of water. Tesla service didn't seem alarmed when I informed them that there is water sloshing around and did not come out to immediately to dry out the car. Instead, I proceeded to myself disassemble the trunk liner and soak up...

    Autopilot needs manual lane change without disengage

    Traffic light and stop sign control is NOT useful: It will stop at all lights, no matter their color. Green light? Stop. Red light? Stop. Except for the times when it "runs" a green light. How does that inspire any confidence when it's not stopping at a green light 100% of the time? :) How is...

    Autopilot needs manual lane change without disengage

    It does - but how it does that is by holding the flasher until lane change is complete. And god help you if you let go early: The car jerks back into the lane it came from. Unbelievable. I am scared to let go early - and if you hold too long, it starts going over another lane. And if you let go...

    Autopilot needs manual lane change without disengage

    I can confirm that's how the Kia Niro EV does it. Totally natural. It _just_ works. Tesla's AP is not well thought out. I hate it and will not use it anymore. As a matter of fact, this is so basic that I am looking to get another EV. Basic stuff just has to work. Right now, other drivers must...

    2023 MYLR7, 19”, tow - 1 month (500 miles) into ownership ( and comparison against 2020 Kia Niro EV)

    Summary: We bought this car for AWD, 7 seats and ease of traveling long distances. AWD is great, and technically it does have 7 seats - but we knew the 3rd row would only be for little kids, which is fine. While the Supercharger network enables long distance driving, the poorly functioning...

    2021 MYP Trunk Leak - bad service experiences

    Same issue with 1 month old Model Y from Fremont. Didn't realize that water had run all the way into the deep trunk section. It's all wet down there. Gross. I didn't think all the rumors were really true about Tesla quality, but so far, I gotta say I am also not impressed.

    Lane Departure Warning Always On

    Sorry, I know this is an old thread, but I got this message today driving our brand new Model Y for the first time on Interstate 90 up to Snoqualmie Pass. This message got my blood boiling. Some idiot programmer thinks that because I drove too close to the line for 10 seconds, he is going to...

    Sold Brand new Tuxmat for Model Y 7 seater, all 3 rows

    These are brand new mats, never used. I don't like them and to get full refund from Tuxmat, they asked me to cut them up and send them a picture. We hate throwing things away, especially when brand new. Asking $230 for the set - just so we don't cause more waste. Local pick-up only in Redmond...

    Model Y 7-Seat - 2nd Row Custom Covers - Amazing!

    Thanks to your review, I ordered and installed them today. Took over an hour of concerted neck twisting and up-side down acrobatics. Amazing amount of detailed work that went into making this cover. Everything fits perfectly. Only complaint I have is that the material between the sliding seats...
