One major question and one minor question I had about Tesla's prior to buying my 2023 Model Y last June related to winter. The major question was cold weather performance. The minor question was about snow tires. TIRES Snow tires are the easy one so I'll get them out of the way. I've lived...

I’m thrilled with my Tesla after 6 months of ownership. I was an optimistic purchaser and it has largely delivered. I’ve learned a lot and liked a lot. Here are a few areas that have been meaningful to me. For those of you that have read my previous posts you know that I was determined to...

I purchased the Enhanced Auto Pilot package for my 23 MYLR. I see a lot of chatter about all the new software upgrades coming out. Most of it's list as FSD. Since I only purchased EAP will I see any benefit from the new FSD updates?

I have found a myriad of reasons to enjoy my new MYLR, but my initial motivation was cost savings. I have zero regrets and love the car. That said, for anyone interested I'll share the costs associated with "fuel" for the first few months and 9,952 miles. There are certainly other things to...

I read and read and read about everyones battery degradation so I adopted a battery charging strategy in hopes of being "that guy" who defied the odds. Seems I was unsuccessful. :). Oh well, I tried. Here is how things stand after 10k miles. I drive a MYLR with a rated range of 330 miles...

I'm looking for a math wiz smarter than I am to help with what is probably a simple formula. Example: I have a 6 hour 360 mile trip. I will have to stop once to charge at a super charger. If I drive half the trip at 60 mph for 3 hours rather rather than 55 mph I arrive at the charger 15...

Just curious, what's your Wh/mi and how do you drive to achieve it? Mine, after 7,000 miles is 265 Wh/mi. I thought I was doing pretty good, but I see some drivers in the 230's or even lower. What kind of driving do you do and how do you achieve it? I drive mostly highway driving. 5 minutes...

People buy cars for different reasons. Cool factor, the environment, the cost, the performance, the utility of the vehicle, etc. For me personally, I purchased a Tesla for potential savings. After six weeks and 7,000 miles (including a 3,000 mile road trip) I would like to share my...

Hi All, Taking the longest trip yet in my new Model Y LR. Loving the car. Today we left the beaten path and I had my first scare. We left the freeway to see Fort Ticonderoga in NY. Very nice, by the way. The issue quickly became battery. The computer told me when I left the freeway I...

I've lived in the midwest my entire life and never put snow tired on any of my vehicles. 3 Corolla's, Suburban, Tahoe, Chevy Sonic, and a Prius. I drive high mileage 3,000+ a month. I've always used all weather tires all year long. I see lots of suggestions for snow tires on a Tesla in the...

Hi All, I really appriciated this forum for all the help and guidance as I was looking to make my purchase. I’ve been the proud owner of a 2023 Model Y LR for just over 2.5 weeks (Yep, weeks). I have logged about 2,500 miles. I drive over 30,000 miles per year, mostly for work. I live in...

My first EV, a Tesla MYLR 2023, is supposed to be delivered between June 17 & 25. This is a big switch for me. I drive about 3,000 miles per month, averaging two long trips of approximately 300 miles each week. I live and work in Wisconsin and drive all over the state all year around. I've...

I’m new to Tesla with a 2023 MYLR. I’ve read a lot about cold weather and am familiar with the reduced range. Not concerned with that. Plenty of charging stations. I am curious if the Tesla onboard computer is accurate when predicting cold weather range or if I need to mentally calculate a...
