    New Hampshire Self-Registration Packet

    I got the packet about 2 weeks after picking up my MYLR in Paramus. It came via FedEx.

    charging adapter?

    Note that you don't have to get the Tesla CCS adapter since there are other 3rd party adapters that cost less and work just as well. I have one from Lectron - this one. There are others on Amazon, AliExpress, etc. but I was wary of those because I'm doubtful of their quality and don't want to...

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    I'm happy with the range in my '23 MYLR. I work from home and there are days when it doesn't leave the garage at all so I might have a different perspective if I had a long commute. But, I bought it knowing my driving habits (which aren't any different now than when I had my previous ICE SUV)...

    Foam cannon/gun for "regular" garden hose?

    I would love to know of any too. I could get a pressure washer but would rather not. I like hand-washing my MYLR but I really don't want to get any power tools to do it.

    Supercharger - St. Johnsbury, VT

    This caused me to abort my trip up there. I started on the way hoping that it truly was very temporary and that I'd see a change on the way there but it didn't. I had a CCS adapter with me and knew of a Chrysler dealership in St. Johnsbury with 2 Blink fast chargers but I didn't want to risk it...

    Paramus NJ allow inspection before accepting

    I picked up my MYLR from Paramus last June. They were late bringing it out to the lot after my appointment time and I caught the employee who was preparing it and putting my name tag in the window. I told her that she was working on my car --she congratulated me, handed me the key cards and said...

    How bad do you think Superchargers in NH & VT will be on the day of the eclipse (4/8/24)?

    I will definitely rely heavily on the trip planner to tell me about Supercharger status that day, good to hear that this is reliable with lots of traffic around. I'm leaning towards Berlin, VT because it lies in the path of the totality and relying on the Lincoln charger (I've been there, it's...

    How bad do you think Superchargers in NH & VT will be on the day of the eclipse (4/8/24)?

    Sounds like a good plan! Fingers crossed that we get a nice cloudless day!

    How bad do you think Superchargers in NH & VT will be on the day of the eclipse (4/8/24)?

    I'm planning to drive up to the southern edge of where the total eclipse can be seen. It will be just the two of us and we're not looking to make a day of it to do other stuff, just an out and back trip. How crowded do you guys think the Superchargers will be on that day? We may aim for around...

    Roof Rack install with PPF use 3M stickers?

    I did not use the PPF stickers that came with the roof rack. I have full satin PPF and believe that's enough to protect the paint from the roof rack mounts. I don't plan on taking the roof rack on and off though it seems that many do.

    Public Service Announcement - increase your sentry mode clip time to max.

    I don't have this feature in my US MYLR (on 2024.2.7) and that Not A Tesla App article states that this feature is limited to specific regions (parts of Europe as of November 2022 when the article was written). I'm jealous, I wish I could adjust this. Seems strange that it's not worldwide.

    My iPhone audio

    This is the easiest way to switch the audio output from my iPhone that I've found to be able to watch videos. Or, from the audio Source menu in the car, switch to Bluetooth (and be sure your iPhone is the selected source) so that the audio from your iPhone plays through the car's speakers.

    Newbie owner - apple and contacts advice

    It's exactly like Ritu_o0o said. The Apple Music app in the Tesla is strictly for those who subscribe to Apple Music. If you don't subscribe, then the Apple Music app in the Tesla won't work for you. It's not any sort of extortion or bad faith behavior by Tesla or Apple. There's a Netflix app in...

    Help me decide on my next tires! (Michelin Cross Climate, Sport Pilot AS, Continental ExtremeContact DWS)

    I was referring to the ones he states that his car came with (same as my MYLR). But your comment made me look at my tire purchase history for my last car and I did have the Continental ExtremeContact DWS for my X3 before. This was the set that I had before the CrossClimates. They were...

    Tesla Newbie - PPF Necessary?

    I wouldn't say that PPF is necessary at all. It's a car - a depreciating asset that will get damaged by rocks, salt, etc. as you drive it. You can choose to care for the paint (or not) in any way that suits your lifestyle and budget. I got full satin PPF on my MYLR. I kept my last car for 17...

    Help me decide on my next tires! (Michelin Cross Climate, Sport Pilot AS, Continental ExtremeContact DWS)

    I have the same Continentals on my '23 MYLR and I hate them. I keep them at the recommended 42 PSI and they feel numb when cornering and they have poor grip in wet conditions. I also live in New England but I work from home so I don't *have* to drive in snow much. They've been okay in snow so...

    Vendor Elevate Your Tesla with Lasfit All-Weather Floor Mats

    I bought these mats after seeing this very review on YouTube. This winter, I'm now very unhappy with them and looking to replace them. There's no lip on the rear edge of the driver's side mat and snow that melted off my snow boots flowed off the mats and onto the carpet under the driver's seat...

    Dashcam Image Motion Distorted - Tesla says normal - look normal to you?

    This looks normal on my Mac (running Sonoma, using Safari). Comparable to what I see in my MYLR when I play back dashcam clips.

    Can Y open garage door without myQ?

    I'm not disputing what you've been told but this is EXACTLY what Tesla told people in 2023 as well. And despite this, many have been able to do it on their own, including me. Please search for yourself if you don't believe me. From what I've seen, Tesla has never officially encouraged DIY for...

    Does your state charge you a penalty for owning a Tesla?

    New Hampshire recently added a surcharge to annual registrations for EVs and plug-in hybrids: $100 and $50, respectively. Article here. Annoying yet understandable since I no longer contribute to the state's coffers for road maintenance via gasoline taxes.

    Can you add Wiper Control to the cards on Tesla display?

    As jjrandorin said, it's not possible to have the wiper controls stay in a card. However, you can use the left scroll wheel to make a selection when the controls are on the screen. When you press the left stalk button, the wipers will activate and the controls come up on the screen. While the...

    Looking for ideal USB drive that does not stick out

    I have a couple of these that I use: https://amzn.to/48la39X. They're meant to be inserted into laptops and left there so they're very low profile. The only issue is that they top out at 256GB (which is still double the space of the drive Tesla included with the car).

    Dumb question I know….how do you unlock the doors?

    Tessa Robin, this is exactly the setting that you need to look for (see it directly in the owner's manual here): You posted in the Model Y forum so we presume this is what you have. These instructions from scgaskill are for the Model S and do not apply to the Model Y. Door handles only present...

    How often do you charge to 100%

    I've had my MYLR since June 2023 and have not charged it to 100% yet. The highest I've gone is 90% for a road trip. So far the trip planner seems to make my first stop on a road trip around 3 hours in and I usually need to use the bathroom before that. So I don't care too much about leaving with...

    Cold Weather Charging

    I live in NH and work from home, so I don't have a daily commute. In between gym trips and errands and the occasional road trip, my MYLR sits in the garage plugged in at 50% SOC. This is my first winter with it and I'm already seeing how the cold affects charging and driving range but it hasn't...

    Quality Concerns with Newly Applied PPF and Tint – Seeking Community Insight

    I had XPEL stealth PPF (that comes with a 10-year warranty) installed on my MYLR and it is flawless compared to what this shop did. The shop I used did not have a 2-week inspection process nor was it needed - there were no bubbles or lifting edges at pick-up and the seams between sections are...

    Single Tap is Great!

    So far I've decided not to enable this. Highways near me have poorly marked exit and merge lanes that make AP want to swerve to the far right to stay in what it thinks is the right-hand lane so I rarely use AP locally and prefer TACC. I might switch it on for an upcoming roadtrip.

    Vendor Closed!!! Unbeatable Black Friday Deals+Giveaway!

    I'd love to buy the Second Row Seat Back Cover Mats for my MYLR! They'd go well with the Lasfit floor and trunk mats that I already purchased right after I got my Y in the summer.

    Day 1 nightmare with model y Not able to charge

    This is definitely a bad experience for day one. I'm not trying to make you feel even worse but this was not an issue caused by your Tesla at all. I see that there are very few superchargers in OK as it is. I also picked up my new MYLR in another state in June and used its GPS to route me home...

    Can Y open garage door without myQ?

    HomeLink and myQ are two completely different garage door management systems that are unrelated to each other from a systems/usage standpoint. HomeLink is a system that will control a garage door just like a standard garage door remote controller will and requires special hardware (the part that...

    Maine!

    A Tesla Service/Sales center has been approved for Londonderry, NH - see this post/thread for more details. When that's complete, I assume Maine will treat Teslas picked up there as they do any other out-of-state vehicle purchase but I'm completely unfamiliar with Maine laws. I'm in NH and made...

    Does Tesla have a note taking app?

    No, there is no note-taking app in Tesla's infotainment system. However, if you pair your iPhone to your Tesla via Bluetooth you can just use Siri to create a note. I've fund Siri to be very responsive to requests while driving my MYLR and I prefer using Siri for texting and other phone-related...

    iPhone 15 Pro - HOT Charging

    This has happened with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. And it only works on the charging pad in one very specific position. Now I just keep a cable in the console to charge my iPhone when needed. The charging pads are just a handy place to rest my iPhone while I drive and I don't rely on them for charging...

    Key Fob availability in US

    This out-of-stock status is frustrating for me too - I've got a fob on my Christmas gift list! The phone key works well for me but a fob will help when I've got passengers and want to open all the doors upon approach, or open the trunk without having to take out my phone and use the app. As a...

    Possible to pay without Plaid in 2023?

    Good question. I believe I did it after I had my delivery appointment set up. I didn't make the final payment until I picked up the MYLR and had had some time to look it over first, though. It went through very quickly in the app since I'd set it up in advance and the Tesla rep was able to see...

    Possible to pay without Plaid in 2023?

    I'm in NH and was able to cancel out of the Plaid screens back in June when I picked up my MYLR. It definitely sounds like the app has changed since then and they're making it harder to avoid Plaid. But even so, I would happily pay via wire transfer and get charged for that instead of using...

    Model Y Blind Spot Question

    I saw someone post about this in another forum as well and I found the mirror on eBay and installed it yesterday. Drove a lot today and the new mirror is a total GAMECHANGER. I always felt like I wasn't really seeing anything in the old mirror and this is a million times better. I wish I'd done...

    AC & Heat only works well when recirculating?

    That isn't the way my MYLR works and definitely doesn't seem normal. I think TesLEEZ's idea is a good one - it may be worth a look at the filters in the frunk area to see if there are any issues there.

    Payment through Plaid

    At the time I picked up my MYLR (June 2023) it was possible. Recently I read elsewhere that the way to get around it is start the process in the app with Plaid and then search for a bank name that doesn't exist (or is known to not work with Plaid), and then the interface will offer a way to...

    How to remove Apple Music favorites on 2023.26.8?

    I haven't, unfortunately. I'll keep looking but I'm guessing this isn't a priority for Tesla so I'm not hopeful that it will be addressed soon. I really want my Favorites to be a couple of stations in Apple Music and a couple of streaming radio stations for local news + traffic and that's it.

    VCFRONT_a059_inputResistanceHigh error in Service Mode in new MYLR

    So, in the end, Tesla stated that nothing was wrong with my MYLR and that the errors were a function of the AC line I'm using to charge it. Now I need to talk to the electrician who installed it for me! They also really want me to NOT look at the Service Mode messages. 🤪 In response to the...

    Front license plate holder

    A front plate is required in my state but I didn't want to use adhesive or drill into the car to mount one so I got something similar to the Snap Plate but less expensive on Amazon. It works great and I've found that I leave it off most of the time for a cleaner look. I keep it in the sub-trunk...

    VCFRONT_a059_inputResistanceHigh error in Service Mode in new MYLR

    Yep, I'll update this thread after my appointment on Monday. They recently sent another message stating that they'll need time to diagnose, which is clearly code for "we may have your car for a few days". I asked them if they have a loaner and they said they'll see what's available when I drop...

In the cost estimate ($0 under warranty) for my service visit, there's a line item to remove and replace the "Assembly Power...

    New Hampshire Waiting Room

    I didn’t get a “registration packet”. I got the certificate of origin and signed MVPA via UPS about 2 weeks after I picked up my MYLR. When my temp NJ plates were about to expire, I took everything to city hall (along with my Monroney sticker) to register it and transfer the NH plates from my...
