    Just installed Cross Climate 2

    I have had the 19" CC2 on my MY 2020 for about 5000 miles. They are a little louder to me, but the MY isn't the most road noise quite EV in my experience :) I can feel the tread when going slow and turning, and it really impacted my efficiency from a highway perspective. I did two road trips...

    Volume Turning Itself Down at Certain Levels iPhone Spotify App via Bluetooth to Tesla

    Hmm, you could be onto something. I believe it happens around the same time/area after I leave my home.

    Volume Turning Itself Down at Certain Levels iPhone Spotify App via Bluetooth to Tesla

    For me it is more like the audio level drops as if I had opened up my door. Sometimes if I pause for a few seconds and replay it will go back to is regular level in a few seconds. If I just leave it alone, it can take 15 - 20 seconds before it goes back to normal. I have been listening to...

    Volume Turning Itself Down at Certain Levels iPhone Spotify App via Bluetooth to Tesla

    I am having a similar issue while streaming audible in my Y. The volume will be fine when I start driving and a few minutes later the volume drops drastically. The indicated volume on the screen is the same, and if I turn the volume up it will get a little louder. About 5-15 secs later the audio...

    MODEL Y Dimming Update

    Thanks. I was able to use it and ordered a pair today.

    MODEL Y Dimming Update

    Interesting, I don't see the black Friday banner. I will have to keep an eye on it.

    MODEL Y Dimming Update

    One member purchased a model y dimming mirror on ebay and tested it in the past with no success. I am curious if they tested it again after the new update to see if it started working.

    I finally changed my seat cover to the white I wanted!

    I suspect, nothing. The seat heaters are not in the cover, but generally a heating element that sits between the cushion and the cover. You can also see on the white cover a black tag which I suspect indicates air bag. Generally special stitching is used around the air bag that will break...

    Clunking Noise Rear Seat.

    I have/had something similar, and for me (and a few others base don my research) that it can come from the hinge area for the back part of the seat. Service came out for a different item, and added some foam into the hinge area which got rid of the noise, mostly.

    How are the Replika r241 wheels for the Model Y?

    I wish they sold the gloss silver in 19 x 9.5. They seem to only have them in 18s.

    Model Y Auto Dimming Side Mirrors - Backwards compatible?

    That is unfortunate, and I appreciate that you attempted it. I wonder if you contacted Tesla service if they will enable it or if they would basically act as if it can't be done.

    Model Y Auto Dimming Side Mirrors - Backwards compatible?

    Really looking forward to the results. It is the number 1 feature I miss, even if it isn't perfect, it is better than being blinded by cars behind me.

    I’m so disappointed with the service center on my new MY

    Now that Tesla opened their own body shop (in Thornton I believe), I hope the quality of the work might be better.

    I’m so disappointed with the service center on my new MY

    I am having similar issues with my Y, with two trips to the SC to resolve delivery issues. I am waiting for my 3rd appointment, which this time is at a Tesla owned body shop. Each time my Y was given back to my they fixed, or partially fixed issues, but caused new ones. (paint issues...

    Jeda Hub for Model Y

    FYI, this may have been mentioned before, but if these packages are being sent via UPS (as mine is), you can create a UPS account and get notified of UPS packages being shipped to your address. I got a notification on 12/31 that a label was created for what appears to be my package from Jeda...

    Dimming Mirrors for Older Ys

    Based on my research, like Migizi indicated, there are 2 wiring harnesses. The door harness, and the mirror harness. The bigger of the two is the door harness. If that doesn't have the extra plug(s) for the auto-dimming feature, then you have to buy and replace the door harness. This might...

    Phone Volume am I Doing it Wrong?

    Well, I am glad it isn't just me! Are you both (Y_NOT & 52 16 57 39) using IOS devices, or Android?
  20. Kimo

    Phone Volume am I Doing it Wrong?

    I believe in a previous update, Tesla (at least for IOS) has the Car and Phone bluetooth volumes linked, so turning the volume up / down on the Tesla increases and decreases the bluetooth volume on the iphone. (and vice-versa). I have a bigger issue in that I have to have the volume turned...

    Replika R241 Wheels

    I think I will eventually get the R241's, but it seems they don't have the 19x9.5 in silver, only black and space grey. (the silver only seems to be 18"s for some reason)

    Replika R241 Wheels

    Thanks. I look forward to seeing more. I am trying to gauge the overall look of these wheels and the Y. I am leaning towards the space grey color, or silver. I have never been a fan of black wheels.

    Supercharger - Wheat Ridge, CO

    I would be really surprised if they added another supercharger station that close to the Lakewood install. I suspect the original planned Wheat Ridge location ended up in Lakewood, and nothing will happen in Wheat Ridge.

    Side mirror replacement (whole assembly)

    You should be able to buy it directly from Tesla service center. I don't believe it is restricted. Otherwise, you have to keep an eye on ebay or some other used market.

    Model Y Auto Dimming Side Mirrors - Backwards compatible?

    I think there are 2 sets of wires one needs. 1, and the most important I believe, is the extra wire(s) in the door wiring harness. This we can determine by taking our door panels off to look. If it doesn't include the plug(s), then either we would have to get a new door wiring harness that...

    Model Y has auto dimming mirrors

    The whole Model Y release boggles the mind. The 2020 model was only for approx. 6 months, then 2021 started with basically the same build as 2020 for a month or so, then big changes in the 2021 line.

    Model Y has auto dimming mirrors

    Well, most of the reasons people choose not to accept is due to some defect, which there most likely will be. Door alignment, paint issues, etc. I had those, and it has been a major pain in the butt to get resolved. Tesla has had my Model Y longer than I had it. I just picked it back up...

    Model Y has auto dimming mirrors

    Don't accept it if it doesn't. Don't live with doubt if you don't have too, esp. if it is a feature you really want.

    Total loss MYs showing up at auction

    Was there something wrong with the Y in these pics, probably in-spec..... Ok, that is now out of the way :)

    Model Y has auto dimming mirrors

    I had sent a message to the Service Center in Denver, and they responded back that they don't there is a retrofit for the Model Y at this time.

    Model Y has auto dimming mirrors

    I watched a couple of videos looking at the door harness for the Y and I don't see the extra plugs that the 3 has, so I suspect they didn't include the wiring for the auto dimming until recently. In found a good picture on eBay of the glass itself for a model 3 and it seems the dimming function...

    Model Y has auto dimming mirrors

    Looking at model 3 mirrors on eBay I can see 2 extra wires compared to a model y mirror on eBay. It seems these probably handle the dimming function. So I suspect the mirror itself does have more wires. The question is does the door harness have the wiring for these two plugs. If it does then...

    AC Blowing Warm From Day We Picked Up Our New Y

    Not sure the type of reset they did. It might have been the power down version in the service menu?

    AVOID RPMTESLA accessories -

    Go through your credit card company. If the product does not work as stated, then you should be able to get a refund/return/replacement, and if the company will not do that then take the next route. Not a guarantee you will get the charge back, but I suspect you will. Just document the issues...

    Replace windshield BEFORE delivery...any concerns?

    I would let them fix it, and then check it out again. If they caused more issues, reject it.

    Tesla will support wifi garage opener soon

    Is a Rolex really any better than a cheap Casio for keeping track of time? :) I liked the homelink module in my 3, it kept things clean, and I didn't want to look at the clicker on my visor, or attach it behind the screen.

    MY trailer hitch cover really hard to remove & put in

    I haven't taken the cover off my Y yet, but I just noticed something, with the hitch set in, and having plastic surrounding it, is it a pain to install the break away chains? When they are attached, I hope it doesn't do damage to the bottom part of the bummer plastic.

    Door and Panels not aligned properly

    I am going through this right now with the service center and my Y for paint and door alignment issues. After having my Y for a week I get the text that it is done and ready for pickup. Unfortunately only half of the paint issues where resolved and the doors are still not aligned. Really not...

    7 Day Return Policy is Audi 5000

    Well, I got the text today that my Y was ready and that the paint defects and door alignments were fixed. When I got too the service center it only took about a minute to realize that not only were paint defects not all fixed, the body shop introduced a new paint chip, and the door alignments...

    Is it possible to "measure" how much power is used to charge my Tesla in the garage for tax purposes

    7 Day Return Policy is Audi 5000

    The 7 day return period provides peace of mind (for me at least), and with it gone I don't think I would have accepted my Model Y with the door misalignments and paint defects it had. I was prepared to return my Model Y if I couldn't get a service appointment within the 7 days, which I was, and...

    How to shop around for an auto loan?

    "1. Does my credit report go down if I shop around on multiple banks/credit unions, causing my loan rate to go up?" In my experience no. It is generally common to shop for the best rates within a short period of time. What I have seen, and what I usually am told by lenders, is score impacts...

    Immaculate delivery of 2021 Model Y

    I'm glad your delivery at the Superior SC went well, mine wasn't that great, but no matter. Question, did you get the "real" Monroney printout (large, thicker paper) with your Model Y, or just a small print out (normal 8x11 page)? My Model Y didn't include the real one, but rather a regular...
