I'm glad I'm not the only one that get so frustrated with the wipers. They tend to work the opposite for me sometimes. I have to manually push the stock to turn it on and when the car stops at the trafiic light it would go at full speed like it was pouring outside. Thanks for the tip on how to...

I know this post is about two years old. I just got my Model Y last summer and this is my first winter that I experience that problem. Gotta remind myself to clean the frosting off before I drive. Can be very dangerous if you're on highway and can't see ahead of you.

I wish there were some kind of numbers or angle showing for each click so the left and right would be the same angle. I set mine 133 clicks from the bottom for each left and right beam.

Thanks you so much for showing this video. I have people flicking high beam at me constantly like I have high beam on but I don't. Just adjusted mine. Let's hope it works.

It was trying to go at full speed at a construction zone where there's only one lane open. I won't even use it even with 1 year free trial. I

I have free trial FSD for 3 months and I only use it couple times on small road. Last night I was using on highway and it almost went off the road at full highway speed. I just don't think I'll ever subscribe to it. Auto pilot is good enough for me, just keep me in the center of the lane.

I enjoy driving EV too much for me to engage FSD or even subscribing to it. My MDYL keeps switching to the left lane eventhough I had already set it minimal lane change. Too me FSD still has a long way to go.

I think the majority drivers who stop and charge at Super charger are either out of state travelers or someone who live in apartment building. I never see Super charger fully packed ever. I'd say most Tesla out of state drivers only charge enough for them to get to the next station anyway. Ten...

I use Tesla mobile charger as a primary charger at home. Is it OK to let the charger plug in at all time or should I unplug it after I'm done charging. I don't want it to get to get overheated it's made for mobility.

I got two updates already since I got mine only July 25th.

I ordered mine on July 4th and picked it up July 25th, it was built in Freemont. I thought it was pretty fast.

Just a got a notification on my phone that I got an update o 9/15/2023 I schedule to have it installed tonight. Read the release note and it's pretty much FSD related.

Will Tesla honor the award to the states that don't allow direct sale to consumer. I was gonna give the code to my co-worker but not sure if it will work for him.

I live in a state where direct sale to consumer is prohibited. So, I guess I can't refer anybody either I supposed.

Just use voice command " save video"

I j ust use voice command "save video" works everytime.

I pretty much ignore the mileage and rely on the percentage only.

Finally got an update. Enabled FSD. Tried it. I think I'll pass. Like one of the Youtuber said. It's more stressful than driving the car yourself and I totally agree with him. The car went over the speed bump at full speed. It didn't slow down at the ramp. It slowed down, but not slow enough to...

Regen braking after a month of owning Model YLR 2023 doesn't seem as stiff as the first time I got it. Is this normal? Am I finally broken in?

I bet EV would be perfect for police car, or Taxi in big city with heavy traffic. Since the police are not allowed to turn off their engines. Plus they'd get instant torque chasing the bad guys.

I noticed that it only pop up when it's really dark then went away afterward. I hope newer version are installed with night vision cameras :)

In CT you don't get a title until your car is paid off. On my previous ICE cars I would get the title couple weeks after my car was paid off. Yeah, you're right every states handle things differently.

I took a 3 years loan from my 401K cause I want to pay everything back to myself including interest and paid the car off to Tesla which include some money from my savings. Since I didn't take out a loan from the bank. Do I have to wait till I paid it all to my 401K first before the DMV send me...

I don't know how easy it is to hack the 4 digit pin. I enable that feature just like you would normally do it on the phone.

Yes, I pretty much took a chance on it. Thank god everything went smoothly. I live in CT and I had to go pick it up in NY which is about an hour and a half from me. Hate to take another off from work drive there again the second time.

I did wire transfer. The teller said it might take a day or two. Got home couple hours later. Checked my Savings acct and the money was already transfered. The bank charged me $25 tranfer fee.

I just changed my software update to advance. It's been a month since I got the car. As long as it's incremental update then I'm not gonna worry much about it..

I didn't think I was gonna like regen braking at first. But got so used to it in a day or two and now I'm loving it. After awhile I just know when to slow down so the car can come to a complete stop. This year will be the first for me driving in the snow. We shall see.

Faster charging with longer range and less prone to fire hazard. That's what we want to see.

Thank. I will try to do that.

Yes.

Thank you. Read some of the post in here that said it takes awhile for new car to get the update. My car is only 3 weeks old so I guess I won't be getting it anytime soon.

Do tesla send out a notification for an update? My car is parked in the garage with decent Wi-Fi connection. Does it do it automatically or you have to manually installing it.

I hated that feauture on my Acura non-hybrid. It was not seamless like my Honda Civic Hybrid where you don't hear the engine starting up again. I have to make a mental note to disable that once I press the ignition button but sometimes I forget.

Good to know. I will try that. Thanks.

That's what I forgot to add beside all those things.

Can someone explain to me about the energy consumption between ICE and EV. Let's say if I'm stuck in heavy traffic. I know ICE car will just keep burning gas even when the car is not moving. Do ICE car behave the same way? Or as long as the wheels are not turning and you're not stepping on the...

Bettery swapping in China 🤣😂😅 https://www.carscoops.com/2023/07/the-battery-pack-of-this-chinese-ev-fell-out-in-the-middle-of-the-road/

My co-worker was worried about not enough charger on the road. I told her you mostly charge your car at home. You don't drive 250 miles a day just to run errant. Super charger are for long distance out off state and people who live in apartments. Some people still think that you have to drive to...

Maybe they can use that in a train to go around 52 states.🙂

I was worried at first but not anymore. I know all the stories like this are mostly from the ICE camps who want to stir the pot. Don't billions of smart phone use the same type o f batteries? We don't hear them catching fire anymore after the Note 7 Fiasco had been fixed. Youtube uses the same...

My first Honda Civic Hybrid was getting the same milage. After 5 years. I replaced the tires and the range dropped to 38 mpg. and about 34 mpg in the winter. The tires were specifically made for that hybrid model. My co-worker who owned Prius said the exact same thing when he changed his tires...

We have to change our driving habit too. Last night I was experimenting driving back home from work at 1:30AM doing 60Mph on a 65 Mph zone with auto pilot enable. On a 20 miles road, I only use 5% of my energy plus I gained some back from regenerative braking. Too bad I can't do that going in...

If they want everybody to go EV then the range will have to improve to at attract more range anxiety buyers. Longer range equal less charging if you don't do road trip. This would benefit people who can't install charger at home or who rents apartment. I'm sure by then they'll be more charging...

I thought it was so comfortable when I first sat on it.

Boston can get really cold in the winter. But then again he's lucky that he has Level 2 at work. Might have to do that daily.

So you only need 20 miles a day to commute and 4 hrs of Level 2 charging. I would start off by using super charge and charge it up to 80% and just plug in at work every other days. That should take you less than 4 hours to charge it up to where it was.
