It took Tesla over a year to fix the blatantly obvious issues with the last big UI change. I can't say I'm confident in these upcoming changes. Thankfully my 2018 model 3 will be spared.

Saw the lit up chargers on the way home and swung by. Confirmed up and running!

Apologies on not posting back earlier. I finally stopped by today and I'm excited that this looks to be a magic-dock supercharger which will support CCS EVs!! I checked supercharge.info and this is the first magic-dock supercharger in Mass! Very exciting!! And yes that weird fire hydrant is...

I live nearby and will swing by tomorrow and see if I can see any signs of activity for this site

I got the same warning today. I don't really understand, turning off and losing access to 3G is a hardware problem, not a software problem. I'll take my chances and see how things work on the 23rd. As a member already stated, I can at least update over wifi if things go poorly. Next week...

I too am in that boat of pre-holiday 2020 firmware. For all the same reasons. Seems there are a few of us out here still holding out for sanity to come back. At this rate my Rivian R1S will arrive by the end of next year and I will "solve" my problem that way.

Never had to ignore fellow community members in my 6 years here until today. Personal attacks, dismissive of someone elses concerns, the Tesla cult still seems as strong as ever. On topic - the new app seems to be a continuation of change for the sake of change without adequate functional...

Soooo, about that update? I assume part 2 of this Holiday update will now be Memorial day??

Let me guess VW Atlas? A bit biased as thats what I gravitate towards if I was to go with an ICE. In reality all I want is an EV Atlas. Good size, "normal", reasonably appointed inside at a reasonable price. Keep the crazy doors the yoke steering, the autonomous whatever, I don't want it, I...

You're correct, the 7 seat Y is now offered, I was originally waiting on that release but and started following the X refresh in hopes that it would work. The 7 seat Y won't work in my situation, as I need to use this car for long trips and haul 5 people and their stuff. I was hoping I could...

The "they haven't made any cars at volume before" argument doesn't carry much weight compared to the _known_ terrible QC and customer support of Tesla. Rivian is definitely an unknown, but that unknown _could_ be good. Whereas Tesla is known, and known to be poor. Sure some folks get lucky, I...

Same, I'd like to continue to give Tesla my money, but the number of compromises I currently make and would have to make on an X is too much. I have other things I don't enjoy about the X, but being the only 3 row BEV on the market, I keep coming back to give it another look. I was really...

First real snow drive of the year today. Another big reminder that Tesla needs to implement a "snowmode" and default more power to front. The most frustrating thing is that Tesla can _absolutely_ fix this, they just need to shift more power to the front. They do this already with "track...

Well. That settles that. R1S here I come. That wheel. W-T-F. Way to take the item I hate the most from my Model 3, the wipers via the touch screen, and instead of correct the problem they continue to move in the wrong direction. And then expand that terrible idea and make the blinker...

I can't locate the stock Tesla rim load rating, but attempting to use TSportLine rims as a proxy gives as close as I can figure. The TST rims in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 for the Model 3 and Model Y, respectively, are both load rated at 1980 lbs. I have a set of TST knockoffs (sorry couldn't stand the...

The front in particular seems to be the worst angle. Hoping this isn't the final design. The side profile would look better with a more SUV stance, ie 1-2 inches higher, right now it looks pretty wagon-like. Hopefully those will be fixed otherwise I'll be waiting for whatever the Audi version...

It depending on your situation and how much inconvenience waiting a month is for you. If you have a paid off car that's running well enough waiting an extra month is NBD. If you're trying to time a lease end with a new delivery, obviously a different and less flexible situation. "Wait for...

You're correct, the Model 3 19x8.5" TSS's are load rated at 1500 lbs, and the Model Y 19x19.5" TSS's are load rated at 1980 lbs. Interestingly enough the TST rims in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 for the Model 3 and Model Y, respectively, are both load rated at 1980 lbs. I have a set of TST knockoffs...

I'm super excited about the Q4 e-tron. I think it looks great, and the specs look quite good. I've also been an Audi fan for years, and before the Model 3 existed I was lusting after the S4, so it's not too surprising that I gravitate towards Audi. I will admit I have a love/hate...

I tinted the roof on my Model 3, and then got a sunshade as well. I never liked how much I felt like I was in a fishbowl with everyone able to see in super easily. I was hoping 35% tint on the roof and sides would make things better, and it certainly made a big difference, but I ended up...

Agreed! Took forever to get this info. A scant 2.6" longer than the Model 3. Not unexpected, but I was personally hoping the rumors of it being 6" longer were true. Model 3: 184.8″ L x 72.8″ W x 56.8″ H Model Y: 187" L x 75.6" W x 64" H Model X: 198″ L x 79″ W x 66″ H

Same general thoughts as the others that the Model Y. That with the center of gravity so low it will handle very well for being a CUV/SUV. My estimate is that it will handle on par with respectable ICE cars (a4, c class, etc) while being a class and usability size up as a CUV/SUV. Which is...

Now put on snow tires and watch the consumption go up another 10%. At least that's what I've experienced with my blizzaks on my Model 3 AWD (18" wheels for winter). I rarely get better than 300 wh/mi with them on, and at 75 mph, dry roads, and ~30F usually get 340-350 wh/mi.

With the recent announcement that the Model S/X are shipping with increased range, resulting with the S now at 390 and the X at 350 (source: Elon Musk on Twitter) does than translate into Model 3/Y batteries/range in anyway? If the changes made to the S/X were in cell chemistry I'd think...

I would absolutely buy a R1S at 55k, particularly if that's before the federal tax rebate. The R1S is 198" long, which is TBD inches longer than the Model Y because Tesla hasn't released that info yet. The Model 3 is 184.8" long, and depending on who you believe the Model Y will be 180-190"...

Heh... Oops. You're right my math is off :oops: Im hoping that these gains aren't purely tires, as my Model 3 took a heck of a range hit when I changed them for performance all seasons. To say nothing of my snow tires and general winter life in an EV. Efficiency is great, but I'd love some...

I too was also thrown off by what we're thinking the aerocover-removed Gemini rims look like. But thinking back I was also not a fan of the _initial_ look of the Model 3's Aero rims without the covers (definitely don't like it with the covers, but that's a different topic). I think I was...

I just want that more electric looking blue from the prototype! Particularly with blacked out trim and rims, a bolder color looks better than the more sedate dark Navy blue in the production version. I say this as someone with a blue Model 3, but I think the chrome trim, and tint, that helps...

It looks like they made the Model Y more efficient, not an increase in capacity. From the Q4 2019 earnings report (source: https://ir.tesla.com/static-files/b3cf7f5e-546a-4a65-9888-c928b914b529) they're claiming 4 mi per kWh which with a 75kWh pack is 333mi. Obviously some rough math, but it...

The best shot I've seen of the ground clearance on the Model Y. Tough to be definitive without something for scale, but this pic doesn't make me think its much, if any, higher than the Model 3 Give credit where credit is due. Taken from Reddit/Twitter Nice Model Y Shots : teslamotors

Agreed and confirmed half are out on the southbound side. I spiked up to 170kW for a few seconds before ramping down. Tried 3 stalls and that was my highest. My guess is something isn't quite ready for primetime, between half the stalls and a very aggressive charge taper. Still quite happy...

More good news! Fairfield south is now showing in the navigation :)

I'd love a larger battery as well (who wouldn't, right?). I'm cautiously optimistic that the Model Y will launch with more battery capacity than what is currently shipping with Model 3's today. Space-wise - the wheelbase, and therefore physical pack-size is the same with the Model 3, so...

This is great on a multiple levels! More SC's opening in a good location and now absolute confirmation that this is a SCv3! Yes I know not a surprise really, as we had super strong indications based on the conduit layout and the new cabinets, but seeing is believing! This confirms these are...

I too find the traffic visualization to be hard to read. Seriously why do you show me traffic coming the opposite way of my route? It's not relevant at that time, hide it and focus on what is most pertinent to the task at hand. Ie only traffic info on my routed path in the direction I'm going...

I have lifetime premium, I ordered in June 2018, but if I didn't, I would not pay for it. I don't use the satellite maps as they load too slowly to be useful. I find the traffic visualization to be hard to read. Seriously why do you show me traffic coming the opposite way of my route? It's...

I hear this general comment often in different threads/reddit/etc about "Why buy a Model Y when the Cyber Truck is cheaper" which on the surface makes sense. The CT is more capable in many ways, but is lacking in areas that people seem to be glossing over. Looks - I'm sorry I just can't get on...

Sadly no change yet. I drove by Darien SB last night hoping for progress, like what is happening at Fairfield, but didn't see anything visually different at the new SC location than when I stopped by in October.

That was Bollinger not Rivian, but agreed on not being able to pull many sales from Tesla with that sort of value-prop. I'm personally amazed Bollinger is still around but at prices like this for what you get I can't imagine they will be around for all that much longer. 125k for THAT?! Hard...

Tesla did away with their "[email protected]" email address. Does anyone know the new one to use to attempt a feature request? Or in general, aside from tweeting at Elon and hoping he responds, to submit feedback? I realize the chances are slim, but you miss every shot you don't take...

Tesla made some nice changes for the first winter the Model 3 went through, I'm hoping they'll be doing the same for the second. So with the second winter for many Model 3 owners fast approaching I compiled a few things from last season that I think would be very beneficial, and seemingly...

I remember reading similar things, but I don't remember where I heard that. From my interpretation of watching how it performs on rollers it looks to be splitting power between the front and back from a standstill. Either way I'm getting lost in the tech-weeds. I'm not 100% sure on how to go...

Sure! In reduced traction situations the limits of tire grip are much lower and easier to exceed resulting in some manor of the car behaving differently than a dry road. You generally want to avoid anything that will push past those limits of grip, which could be exceeded with hard...

I'm concerned about luggage capacity as well, but I think a solution like this would do the trick for me. Seems to work well for folks with a Model X, so hoping it also works well for the Y. Effectively adds 16 cu ft of storage, which is the same as the Model 3 trunk, so that seems like a nice...

I didn't think I needed to show my work being a member of the forum since 2015, that folks would give the benefit of the doubt that someone around that long would know how to SC properly. :( Model 3 AWD LR came in after a 200mi drive with the SC set as the Nav destination arriving with 11% SoC...

I drove by all 3 of the southbound SCs on 95 in CT today, Darien, Fairfield, and Madison, and they're all at the same point. All construction looks complete except the SC cabinets and changing pedestals. The ground is all closed up and paving, landscaping, and signs are up, with a coming soon...

Just had an annoying SC experience at this SC. This is definitely a SC to be avoided if you can. * Lists 10 SC stalls in the Nav, but there are only 8 accessible * Slow SC rate, never got past 90kW when not sharing, but it lists as 150kW in the Nav. Seems to follow the same pattern as the...
