    Hit a rock on the road with my MYLR

    One of the following videos is going to depict a totally foreign driving environment for probably everyone who reads this thread. Many of you will say I should be driving a Jeep or an Expedition or a pickup or whatever that is more designed for these roads. I'm getting off-track of the point of...

    Why is advertised ground clearance different than actual ground clearance?

    Before I bought our late 2023 MYLR 7 seater with the base Gemeni wheels, I did some research on ground clearance. Owners manual says 6.8” as shown in these screenshots: After trying to get my 5 ton floor jack under there I’m quite convinced that is not accurate at least in front of the...

    Who uses an alternative to Rennstand jack stands for rotating tires and other work on their Tesla?

    Does anyone do anything different than Rennstand? I wonder about just buying four hydraulic jacks and then making a mechanical block for the hydraulic jacks so that it can't fall down even if there is a hydraulic failure. Something like one of these: https://www.proeagle.com/products/jack-lock...

    How to mount Universal Wall Charger

    Is there a good place where people discuss how they are mounting and installing their EVSE? I know to have an electrician do it but different electricians have different strategies to accomplish the same basic task. For example, a lot of electricians might just use a $15 14-50 when most of us...

    New EV owner: how do you prepare for unusual situations?

    I live well over 200 miles from the nearest service center and I’m hoping to not rely on them much at all. Will be picking our new MY up today and I’m just trying to get prepared for unusual situations. So far this is my list: 1. Will be buying a 19” Gemini wheel and tire from someone on FB...

    Are the 19” Gemini wheels the same for all years?

    Are there any difference in the 19” Gemini wheels for the Model Y through the years? Bought an inventory Model Y with 19” Gemini wheels out of Denver and I have to go take delivery soon. Was hoping to find a scuffed up wheel someone replaced for cosmetic reasons so I could use it as a spare when...

    Any rhyme or reason on inventory pricing?

    Looking for a MY7 LR in blue with a tow hitch and the normal wheels and white interior. A few days ago I saw some in inventory that were close to $3K off. Now those ones are basically no discount and the ones with black interiors and upgraded rims (both of which I don't want) are close to $4K...

    How much energy does pre-conditioning take?

    If it's 10 degrees F outside and I pre-condition the vehicle while it's plugged in, how much energy will that take? I'm assuming maybe 40 amps for 20 min or 3.2 kWh? I'm looking at buying a Model Y LR and I'm comparing it to energy costs for an ICE vehicle. Trying to nail down all costs. Thanks.

    How does your miles/kWh change as your speed changes?

    I'm considering a Model Y and I'm doing an energy cost comparison to an ICE vehicle. There are specific speeds I drive at on a weekly basis. Below are the speeds I drive and what I anticipate for efficiency at those speeds. Am I in the ballpark? 22 miles of dirt roads weekly (average 40 mph)...
