I have about 700 songs in a particular Apple Music playlist. The car only shows 100 at a time, so there are 7 pages of songs. This isn't a problem, HOWEVER when using shuffle mode (as I always do) it only seems to pull from the 100 songs on the particular page you're currently viewing. Hit...

I wholeheartedly agree with you! Also common are Tesla owners who blindly argue for the status quo purely because anything else would be deemed offensive and psychologically unmanageable. "My car didn't come with a spare, and I've never needed one, therefore no car should ever come with a...

Did you decide to stream from your phone instead of a USB stick?

That's fine, but it's not the "only recourse." It's best to present people with all their options, along with a suggestion if necessary, but not box them into a single corner which ultimately may *not* be the best option for them.

It's not the only recourse. As others have said, you have the option of partitioning a single device into two virtual drives, one for video and one for audio.

This is a good summary of how I view this topic. It's not difficult nor terribly expensive to have a "kit" ready for travel, or home repair. And if you're not too far from home, someone might even drive the spare kit to you, or Uber home and get it. AAA or roadside assistance always sound like a...

They never are. No mobile audio system is flat. The auto cockpit is a horrible environment for hifi sound. But we can make the best of it, and the best of it very often requires eq'ing to taste. That's what it's there for, not to fix what Tesla themselves couldn't provide, but to accommodate...

Turns out the $120 quote was for regular tint. Ceramic was $150. They pulled a little bait-and-switch, but I'm ultimately OK with that since the total was the same as my initial expectation and they did a great job with the installation.

I rolled the dice today. Price is $120, lower than I'd expected. Maybe the person who'd said that pricing is more competitive here had it correct.

I don't know that Elon dictates such things. Because he's such a public character we tend to think that he's making every decision for each of his companies, but he does have executives who helm these departments.

I think you're right about that.

Congrats! Considering all the recent activity at Tesla, a lease is a good idea. I'm quite thrilled about my choice.

Great info. Can the tint be easily removed at a later date? I'm leasing my car and I doubt Tesla will want me returning it with the tint.

It's LA so probably a little higher than many areas, but at ~$200 it's a no-brainer -- I prefer the look of a matched front/back.

The title says it all. I'm looking to tint the driver and front passenger side windows only, to match the rears, and wondering what ballpark prices should be.

Minimalism is Tesla's thing. In most cases I appreciate the brief and concise info shown on their site and promotional materials, but I fully agree with you on your point. This data should be available somewhere, perhaps not on the main page, but not too far off.

Is that right? That would be a great tip. I have just the slightest amount of coloration (from sprinklers) and I know it'll be an issue in a year or so, maybe even less.

Haha. Is that the first time in this thread that the manual was quoted? :)

If those tires are directional and designed to roll only a certain way then indeed you'd be unable to rotate any of the MYP's tires. I have Michelin Pilots but I've not yet looked to see if they're directional. They probably are.

So two sticks connected with a hub. Is there not a 2nd location in the car that can accept a USB stick for audio playback? I can go the hub route but I'd actually rather put these two sticks into different ports.

The car came with a USB stick in the glovebox which acts as storage for Sentry videos. I also have a USB stick containing a slew of songs that I'd like to add to the car. I'm wondering if I can keep that Sentry USB and just add the 2nd music USB, and if so where should it go? I know that some...

A brand new car? I would think that they come pretty well waxed from the factory and shouldn't need a fresh coat for quite a while.

I love Focal. Those would be excellent I'm sure. I only need the tweeters though. I'll see if they sell those w/out the other components.

I don't think I've ever been unsafe in cars that get to 60mph in > 3.5 seconds. Never even in a situation where 5 seconds worth of 0-60 power couldn't unstick a sticky situation. In fact not even in my first car, an achingly slow 8.0 sec 0-60. The greater risk, I have to think, would come from...

I have an MYP, which means that I have the upgraded audio system. I don't know much about this -- what its components are or how they differ from the other Teslas or other car brands -- I only know what I hear. In general, it sounds very good. But the tweeters in the front, and perhaps others...

I'm still amazed by how the car responds to common phrases. I sometimes overthink how to construct a sentence so the car will understand (because my past cars required it) but with the Tesla you can often just plainly ask for what you want and you'll get it.

But it can be so much more than just okay! Just sayin' :)

Then I'm surprised by how you're not following. It's best to move on at this point. This topic is almost completely irrelevant anyway but you're making it personal, steering it into a conversation you wish it to be instead of the conversation it is, both of which tell me to resist further...

Again, we're not discussing this from the same angle. There is no reason for Tesla to intentionally delay the handoff, and I'm not suggesting that they're doing so. What I'm saying is that you can't simply move from one map to another immediately in every case. To do so would be dangerous...

I think we're talking about two different things. I'm strictly referring to the transition from one mode to the other and how the car deals with that, mathematically. In theory, there could be a delay as the new mode "settles" in. I'll just put it that way.

I wonder if the various delay times are due to hardware limitations. Because acceleration is mapped, the level of torque at the motor correlates to a specific amount of pressure on the accelerator pedal -- that's what mapping is -- but the maps/curves for Chill and Sport are not the same, so if...

That makes sense, especially for something called "Chill" mode. And now I know that I'll never use it. If the sportier mode was overly sensitive and tough to manage at slower speeds then I might feel differently, but I don't find it too aggressive at all, not after a minute or so of driving...

I don't believe so. I suspect that if you floor it you're getting only a percentage of the total available horsepower. ut I've not tested it personally, I only had it in Chill mode long enough to realize that the mapping is way too relaxed for my taste. Never pressed all the way down.

If you're referring to something like F1 tires, yes, they are ready to drive immediately.

Many things which are uncommon knowledge are also a good idea. It's not *necessary*, in that your brakes will work, but it does help the life of your brakes, and can even improve performance. Dealers might fail to mention this because they're happy to have you come back for brake servicing. As...

That's an interesting option I'd not thought of. I rarely have anyone in the back seat, and it would be easy to move the spare to the trunk when I do.

From what I've gathered via a search and reading a few threads, it sounds like the Modern Spare tire doesn't fit under the trunk's floorboard, which means that it'll need to be above, in the main area, which probably means that it won't be secured and just floating around back there. Or, tell...

2024. I guess I should add that to my signature.

The speed isn't relevant to the point I was making; that the MYP is quite a performer. I also very much like its steering. I use the aggressive setting, whatever it's called. Sport, maybe. This car slices and dices, and also cleans up rather nicely.

There's a section of Mulholland Drive, facing the Valley side, which has a fun series of S-curves -- for or five of them, slightly banked -- and it's a well-known place to test the car's handling. I (safely, of course) take each new car up there to see how it does. Two cars back I had an Alfa...

Never Chill. I don't find the horsepower to be difficult to manage -- it's there if I want it but not overpowering in typical driving scenarios.

It's a common problem amongst Teslas. Typically when I see a car approaching that appears to have its high beams on it's a Tesla. Been that way for years. They're very bright lights, but they do also tend to be pointed to high and I'd guess that most people aren't adjusting them, certainly not...

I put an eagle eye to my MYP during delivery and didn't find any issues. It's been quiet and solid. Everything seems to work rather well (auto-pilot aside). I'd read about all the issues Tesla was having -- what was reaching the public's eyes -- and I half expected to have a punch-list of issues...

It turns down the volume of many (or maybe all) system sounds. But as mentioned above it's turned off by default.

I wonder why our two situations are different, which is why I was curious to know if there's a setting for that which you could adjust to make it louder.

I find it nice that the mirrors aim downward, and that helps show where the curb is, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can see how close that curb is to your wheel. This has been my experience during my short week with the Y, where I've had to back into a lot of parallel street spots...

Maybe there's a setting for that particular warning but I've not had to adjust anything here. I back into a crowded driveway so I rely on the warnings but they come through loud and clear.

I'd think that '21 owners will tend to say no and '24 owners will tend to say yes. This is the nature of opinions when polling two groups with separate interests. There's no substitute for a test drive, if you're able.

The car came with Michelin Pilot Sport all-seasons and I have to say that they feel like the right option. There's certainly no lack of grip around the twisties, and they're nearly as good as the Pirelli Corsas but with the added benefit of being all-season. I won't need to worry as the temp...

I think it was strictly the aesthetic identifiers he was trying to remove, not the performance components. Otherwise, there'd be no reason not to simply get an LR model. In fact, an LR with acceleration boost still seems to be the easier (and less expensive) route.
