This is new… because I’ve read of Tesla owners taking their Homelink module out of their to-be-traded-in Tesla and using it in their new Tesla. This implies that you can no longer do that. Which is total cr@p. What’s next? I can’t move my roof rack, floor mats, center console trays or other...

June 2023 Build MYLR w/ HW4. In July 2023, I bought the $165 eBay module/bracket/bolt set and installed it myself without issue…

Woah! Hidden Holiday Release Feature

Cybertruck moved from Boston show room to Peabody. Yes I saw other's posts in the Boston thread - worth starting a new headline for those that want to go see. I asked the sales assistant if the CT would be in the Peabody show room for the holiday event on 12/16 and he said it would be.

For the yellow paint - I checked mine and it's similar. Wow, you really have to look hard to actually even see/notice that. No way would I ask the SC to repair it. They will send it to a body shop and you will end up with way more problems, to cover a small area nobody will ever see. For the...

It does not - I checked so I could respond to your question but, after I logged in, I still had the aero wheel caps in that image...

So I just did this with my Model Y. I pulled the Gemini wheel covers off my MYLR on day 1 and installed the wheel cap kit that Tesla offers. I wanted my on-screen avatar and phone app to reflect that. Here is how I did it: 1) In the Tesla phone App, I opened a service request and selected...

Here is a helpful link that lets you listen to normal Tesla noises/sounds. Each sound is explained.

I use this exact one as well. Thumbs up. Basic and blends in.

I had the same issue on my 2023 MYLR. Here’s how I stopped it: Sit in the seat. Use the flat/horizontal seat adjuster to raise the seat base as high as it will go, so there is no height adjustment left to take. Then on the screen press “Restore” to return to your saved seat setting. No more...

Install Teslas Carbon Fiber spoiler. Looks great, paint damage gone.

Really good to know. I cleaned my rims up to the point where they probably won't oblige. Add to that - my local SC is not cooperative and I'm better off not trying to depend on them. But great to have this post as others may try that route. Thank you for sharing - interesting to see that...

"Trap more particles..." yep, that's really the challenge here. The wheel cover's contact points act like sand paper, trapping particulate matter and then vibrating to sand/grind down the surface underneath. I don't go more than 500 miles round trip at a time... so maybe foam tape works over...

Posting this as a heads-up (warning) to others - as I did not see similar posts about this type of damage from Gemini Wheel Covers. When I took delivery of my Model Y, I immediately took off the Gemini Wheel Covers because I really like the rims underneath - I used the Tesla Wheel Caps to...

I purchased and returned a few different sets before finding these which fit perfectly in my June built 2023 MYLR. Amazon.com

I came to the MY from a current model BMW X5 and this was one of the more jarring/disappointing downgrades. First - the 2023 MY Autopilot has much more natural steering than the X5's active cruise control (huge positive). BUT the starting and stopping of the X5's active cruise control is WAY...

Good article. Sharing: 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range First Test: Still the One?

Comparing exterior dimensions won't tell the entire efficiency story... OP has a 5 year old Tesla. Efficiency gains through tech evolution would apply a different ruler.

Great write up! Thanks for sharing your experience. I ordered my MYLR in June and was caught off guard as well w/regard to how fast it was delivered. I took delivery 13 days after hitting the purchase button. Way faster than I expected. I managed to get the Wall Charger installed (myself)...

Good news for those of us who depend on Tesla Peabody - which is currently an unbearable situation. They're supporting too many customers out of a footprint that was never meant to be a dealership or service center (It's an old Sear Tire store). The last time I was there is was a mess - with...

CSB - lots of interesting points - last paragraph is spot on. The Model Y is the best selling car in the world 2 quarters in a row... I have a MYLR and purchased AB. I wanted the best possible range for a MY and leaned toward the 19 inch wheels/LR suspension for comfort. The Performance...

Yep. Very configurable. You can set it to actuate the garage door opener/closer via a manual touch screen tap every time if you want. It's location aware - so Tesla's Homelink implementation offers an on screen button at arrival and departure. Along with being able to program automatic (or...

It's easier than in the videos. Just go slow. These cars are lego sets. Stuff snaps apart cleanly and pops together easily - IF you are patient and pay attention to how the fastening system works and don't apply to much force. If things don't come apart or go together easily/cleanly - stop and...

Texxla - 4680 batteries are relatively new and come only (for Model Ys) in the standard range version. 4680 batteries are only being delivered in vehicles coming from the Austin manufacturing plant - at this time. You cannot purchase a LR with the 4680 battery pack - at this time. Hilarious...

Mirror - ugh. Yep - I went out to try it and my menu did not have that option. Tesla just keeps updating - hard docs are outdated quickly.

OP - there is a setting under controls that lets you adjust the steering feel. Try the three different settings. As others have said, alignment may be an issue. Slight "toe in" or "toe out" and your Tesla will be busy to manage while steering. I've read a lot about Tesla booming. I've had...

Nice! I suspected the driver's side front tire was the culprit - as that would really impact the rear mirror on that side... I found this from Tesla, explaining how to reset the TPMS

I took delivery of my Model Y LR a little over a week ago. Lot's of good tips in these forums and no lack of YouTube videos. My Advice: 1) Watch YouTube videos - lots of them. Bookmark the ones you will want to go back to. There are dozens that cover Tesla add-ons, which is one of my...

Is the Adhesion Promoter safe for the paint? If you remove it at some point (or the next owner does, etc)

I knew going in that Peabody was poorly rated. Beyond the unresponsiveness via text, they got the rest right. Good test drive experience, good delivery day experience. I am going in tomorrow to have them address some very minor paint damage that was identified by them during delivery - a very...

Looping back to thank you all again for all the insights in this thread - really generous of you all to patiently and painstakingly respond at length with laymen's terms/explanations. I ended up pulling the 60A breaker and put in a 50A breaker. I re-commissioned the Tesla V3WC to a 50A breaker...

jcanoe - much appreciated. Yes, 6/3 NM-B is properly torqued to 50lbs. I initially provisioned the Tesla WC to a 60A breaker (48A charging) when I set it up. I take delivery of my new MYLR in two days - my first EV. I came to this forum to quadruple check my work - I was more concerned about...

Glad I found this thread. I used 6/3 NM-B Romex for a 70 Ft run to my garage and put it on a 60 Amp Breaker... I just finished installation. I would have bought 4/3 Romex had I understood the limitation of Romex vs THHN/Conduit. That being said, I'm not undoing the wiring - it took a few...

I can’t believe your SAs are responsive via text. I’ve tried communicating with them via the original texts I was sent after purchase - which state “Reply to this message at any time and a Tesla Advisor will respond as soon as possible." Crickets. Zero response to any texts that I’ve sent...

Update: Just got my delivery window - I picked/scheduled the delivery on 6/26. That's 12 days after my Model Y was completed at the factory and just 10 days after placing my order. I've been working down the check list in the Tesla app to keep up with the process. This has to be one of the...

That's the way I read it as well. I stopped my my dealer and they said it should be made available to me after delivery. If not, the SA said to come in and schedule an installation there. The SA walked to back to talk to the lead technician who relayed these instructions. He said there is no...

I have not taken delivery - I’m going to try and stop by the dealer today and ask about it.

I’m also running into the Homelink not available for 2023 MY problem

Placed my order last night. Already have a VIN as of this AM - which seems really fast. I thought maybe my VIN came from a rejected VIN/Inventory. But - I had my VIN reviewed on reddit and my “born on” date was 6/14… so my MYLR is right out of the factory. Freemont build. HW4. Matrix...
