    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    Pressing the icon gives an error. So, there's no safe way to eject the drive.

    Model 2

    So, are we thinking hatchback car or B-Segment CUV? Lifted hatch like an Ioniq 5?

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    That would be an older update, from January.

    2024.8.9 is still buggy with the DashCam.

    My dashcam worked today. Didn’t the other day. It’s random. Sometimes broken AM, works PM.

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    That would make too much sense. They just said that there were faults for too much power draw and it came from the front USB port.

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    They didn't fix anything. They said the SSD was drawing too much power (I've used it for almost 4 years). It started working, and now it is back to being broken every now and then. They said only the Tesla USB stick is suggested lol.

    Nope. This afternoon it’s broken again.

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    This morning the red X went away. It might be working. I don't know why, nothing was updated. I have an appointment next Friday to get it looked at.

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    I recently updated to 2024.8.4 on my 2020 Model Y with front USB port. I have used the same Samsung SSD T5 for years. I noticed that the TeslaCam icon showed a red X so I unplugged and deleted the files via my laptop. Now, when I plug the USB back in nothing happens. The red X remains and under...

    Bottom only. It’s been on for 8 months. I think I’m screwed.

    Did this get fixed? I just removed my Diono mat to see I’ve got black dots all over the white seat.

    Auto headlights with wipers function deleted

    Just saw that this was updated to fix the problem. I haven't had a chance to test it, but has anyone had their headlights turn on (during the day) when the wipers are in use?

    IRS weighs in on tax rebate, mostly bad news for Model Y

    How are you determining that? In the past, Tesla DID pass on the credit. They did so by inflating the residual value of the car. This means you have less depreciation, and therefore your lease payments are less. I assume this has continued in 2023. Other companies, example Subaru, itemize the...

    new comfort suspension switch over dates

    For us, the bad roads are terrible, especially compared to my Alfa Romeo which is compliant on bad roads (yet still unbelievably agile). For you, I would suggest ditching the 20s, going to 19s (or 18s if they exist yet for the load) and then taller side-walled tires. More cushion = better ride.

    new comfort suspension switch over dates

    Sorry, I had to reread your post and my edit wasn't quick enough. Was it any better over really bad uneven roads? I don't mind the car on good roads.

    That sucks. Even over really bad roads that are uneven or potholed?

    new comfort suspension switch over dates

    @sagax So you are you saying your stock suspension feels the same after the "comfort" upgraded parts?
  24. Snow Drift

    How different is the new Comfort Suspension (October 22 -) to the previous gen (prior to Oct 22 change)?

    Smaller rims with thicker tires are more comfortable. 19s are your best option. 18s would be magical.

    Model Y 5 seater is an SUV... IRS made a mistake: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/manufacturers-and-models-for-new-qualified-clean-vehicles-purchased-in-2023-or-after https://electrek.co/2023/02/03/tesla-model-y-gains-full-access-7500-ev-tax-credit-80000-price-limit/

    Pricing strategy for 2023?

    The amount of reduction for the Model Y in the US is due to the IRS not categorizing it as an SUV, and allowing a max $80k MSRP. That is why the MY specifically starts at $52,990, so that even with some options it qualifies (<$55k). If the MY was an SUV per the rule, then they would not have had...

    It is based on the tax-year of purchase. Purchased before, by 12/31/2022 (2022 Tax Year, aka April 15 2023 filing) Purchase now (2023 Tax Year, aka April 15 2024 filing)

    IRS weighs in on tax rebate, mostly bad news for Model Y

    It is entirely true. Tesla inflates residual on EV leases (when the credit existed for Tesla) I leased a Subaru Crosstrek PHEV. That got a $4,502 EV credit. Subaru Financial got the credit, they gave me $4,502 off as downpayment. That reduced my lease price. That's how EV leases work. Some...

    IRS weighs in on tax rebate, mostly bad news for Model Y

    Ok, this is common misconception about the EV Credit. The term has nothing to do with owing money in April, or your refund check from overpaying in taxes. The credit can be received in full, or partially: If the EV credit max is $7,500: Non-Refundable Credit means if your Federal Total Tax...

    IRS weighs in on tax rebate, mostly bad news for Model Y

    Most people lease luxury cars. Either way, $7,500 in Federal Total Tax liability is tiny. Just about everyone pays more than that in Federal taxes. So, if you want to buy the car, you will get $7,500 either as a check, or to reduce your tax liability due in April. AGI is another topic.
  32. Snow Drift

    IRS weighs in on tax rebate, mostly bad news for Model Y

    What? Just about anyone who can afford a Tesla will qualify for the $7,500 credit from tax liability standpoint. If your AGI is above the limit, just lease and you'll get the credit applied to the lease numbers to lower your payment. Please look up non-refundable credit. It's not what you think.

    Pricing strategy for 2023?

    I'm one. At the time I believed it all. The December cuts were based on a looming Federal Credit, that was true. Inventory at the end of the quarter did sell. Cars for sale now may not have been available in 2022 (December or January builds). The IRS made them more expensive by calling the...

    Not having it on all the time is your own preference, and that is of course fine. If you want to manually control it, you have to go into the system. The idea is to automate things as much as possible. The fog lights are not blinding anyone. They point down and out. How much energy do you...

    The 12v battery is topped off by the pack. It's not draining your pack bc the fog lights are on. Let's be realistic.

    @hmmwv Inventory right now is from Tesla cranking out cars in late December. Who knows if they were even eligible for sale before 12/31 considering shipping constraints. They had 40%+ growth last year. That doesn’t sound like slowing demand. The economy and sentiment can change, so we will see.

    China is not the US. You can’t compare entirely different people with different economies and tax incentive structures. Most people like to save money. Even if you wanted the car at $67k you will probably wait a month to save $7,500. That doesn’t mean the car itself is any less desirable to...

    They only offered the discount bc the Fed credit was looming and people were waiting. They don’t do this normally. They sell test drive cars and show room models at end of quarter. My local store/service center had a giant parking lot full in December. It’s a ghost town now. Demand is not an...

    I own a Model Y and I had a Model 3 and another Model Y. ICE cars have stalks with fog light switches or a button on the dash. That’s what I was referencing. That’s what you want your Tesla to have. The accessories in the car run off the 12v battery. Just turn the fog light button to...

    IRS weighs in on tax rebate, mostly bad news for Model Y

    They sell out each quarter. Major demand bought two weeks ago at a $3,750 to $7500 lower price. All companies offer end of the year savings. That doesn’t lower the MSRP. The cars in inventory might still be in Cali. People might also be waiting on the credit ruling for the 5 seater. Custom...

    They will most likely not lower prices in the face of demand. Good luck on an earnings call discussing lower prices, to keep margins unchanged.

    They only go on when using the low beams. Which is when you use them. Front fog lights are not like a rear fog light, only used in bad weather. They light up the side of the road to help you see deer, etc. They are using your 12v. Not the battery pack. Honestly, range anxiety ended a few...

    Of course, if demand craters everything gets cheaper. It’s just, not, in the US. So, for now people will buy without the credit. Tesla could sell a MY SR AWD for $50k. Say 280 miles. I would buy that in the future. 300+ isn’t a must have.

    Tesla USA would find it hard to take a $67k MY and reduce it back to 2020 prices. That would crater used car prices and their existing lease accounting. I agree my $54k 2020 was a gem. Had to go used for her replacement as I’m not spending $67k on the same car (a few updates).
