A classic. Thanks for the recall.

If my Tesla cost as much to run as an ICE car, it would still be my choice. One pedal driving, low weight for level cornering and awesome acceleration are three things to start with as advantages. Next, no oil changes (in 2 years my maintenance consisted of changing the cabin air filter) and...

Thanks. I requested through service department and now have an appointment.

Just checked for the CCS adaptor kit for my 2021 Model Y . (You check by logging in so they can see which car you have.) It still says it's available for Model S and Model X only. Those who have other year Model Y cars may have a different experience.

1. Your purpose was clear. Words have meanings and are easy to understand. 2. No, that's your words. Mine never said anything like that. The warning means to be careful because the car may hit curbs. Nobody said "should".

If the cord is melting, it's possibly because of high current. It's not wrong to try to find out why. Check what the car is drawing. We all know it only draws 12 Amps when everything is working properly. But something is not working properly. One thing to check is what current is shown when...

They warn you the car may not see curb AND say you should keep it in sight at all times (so YOU can look out for curbs). Is this so hard to understand? So go ahead and complain when it hits a curb. Don't take responsibility.

Another thought as an interim measure - One reason cords burn or melt is when too much current flows through them. Limit your charging amps with the app. A 115V, 15 amp circuit is likely what you are using. Limit the current to 80% of that 15 Amps, which is 12 Amps. But seriously, you...

That's not what you said in your previous post "...Yes, I know the fine print says the car may not recognize curbs,..." So if it may not recognize curbs, maybe you should keep it in sight at all times (like the instructions say to do)

Consider having a Wall Charger installed by an electrician. Yes, it will dent your wallet for a while, but the convenience will last for ages.

Well, the title seemed to be a complaint and later your "going rogue" comment reinforced it. The car didn't go rogue. Car was doing what it was supposed to do in my view and the only problem occurred when you didn't do what you were supposed to do. Later, when Tesla improves Summon and says it...

Did I understanding this wrong? If it says to keep the car in sight and you didn't, maybe you shouldn't complain.

Wow! 88 replies telling you all kinds of stuff, answering questions you didn't ask. The answer is Yes.

You may also find that the car will slow down for sharp curves, for fog that reduces visibility and as you approach a a sharp hilltop where you can't see far enough ahead. Oh, and it has brakes, not breaks. :)

Good advice. Additionally, every time you activate the single wipe, the wiper speed option appear on your screen at the bottom.

I use a very small flat tip screwdriver. It's only 3 inches long or so. Works well, no scratches, no need to buy other parts. Whatever you insert into the seam should be very thin.

Well thanks for explaining to me what I just told you. And it's not "..the only difference is the CCS software.." It's a hardware part that is needed.

It's not that simple. I need the CCS Combo 1 Adapter Retrofit with Adapter: $615. It's presently available for Model S and Model X, not for my Model Y.

I own a 2021 Tesla Model Y long range. NOT CCS capable. Part to make it capable was supposed to be available "late summer 2023". Still waiting. So "all modern cars..." doesn't include mine.

Those pry devices are too thick and too many of them. Use a small screwdriver like this one. It fits in the crevice and has room to pry. Works well.

Thanks. There's a ton of voice commands. Google for them and you get lots of them that use entire paragraphs to describe each. A wall of text! I like the list I found in this link: List of Tesla voice commands available after 2019.40.50 software update

There's no need to look at the screen to adjust temperature. Voice command: "Set temperature 23" will do it. (I use celsius degrees)

How about measuring the opening? Measure from the part of the left side that sticks out the most to the part on the right side that sticks out the most. Pretty basic thing to do. Your other question about 240V is simple too. A picture or two will reveal. Picture of the panel and a picture...

Electrician questions. Don't get your answers here. No way to know who knows and who is misinformed. Besides, you're going to need an electrician so ask him almost all the questions. He may not know things like 60 Amps is highest you can go or that 80% of that is max, but he knows...

I looked up Dr. Colorchip. Shipping (to Nova Scotia, Canada) was about $35. Makes no sense. I passed on that.

I would not carry a CCS adaptor. Plenty of SC's along the way. I'm not in favour of the tire stuff either - takes up room and tire failure is rare. I like your battery bank plan. I take some cloths and a spray bottle of water and soap to clean the bugs off my white car's front. I haven't...

I'm curious what you drive now and the ability of the parking sensors on that car.

Compare range of 3 vs Y using EPA figures, rather than what people say. I don't think they are "vastly" different.

Should be better out of the wind. Two ebikes shown.

I agree with most of the above comments, but really some are not needed, IMO. My trip - Nova Scotia - Ottawa - Orlando and back was about 7000kms. Preplanning was zero. Got in the car and after a few minutes gave a voice command: "Take me to _____". It was that simple. Sometimes we changed...

This part of Tesla Motors Club is designated for Model Y discussions. Does it make any sense at all to have a thread for MY/M3/New EV owners within it?

A wonderful story and pictures are beautiful. The ONE thing I think people should understand is that NO planning is required for these trips. Yes, we all consider where we are going to stop overnight and many will plan where to stop for charging. But you don't need to plan your charging...

I live two hours from nearest service. I ordered the opener with my Tesla app and a Tesla rep installed it - while parked in my garage.

Very unhappy with user interface and lack of available instructions. Your shouldn't need 4 or 5 tries to change your starting charge level, for example. Also downright WRONG info. Examples: 1 Routed me to a ferry that didn't exist. 2. on a route from point A to B to C to D, It routed me A to...

TMI

Just took a trip from Ottawa Ontario, Canada, to Orlando Florida. Trip planning? None. Got in the car, pressed the right hand scroll wheel and said "take me to (resort name). Passed by 2 or 3 Superchargers for every one I used. Car even changed charging locations a few times on its own...

If room is an issue, choose inflatable mattresses. I use 2 singles left over from camping days, but there are several on the market that are sized to fit the 3 and Y, some even with pillows.

The reason Model Y is (or is about to be) the most popular car in the world must be related to the extra room and still holding the economy just a bit more than the smaller Model 3. You want more room? Model Y.

Wish I knew what a 6MT car was. Why so many made-up acronyms?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. (I'd choose the Y). What's inside makes a world of difference. I'd choose the company with 15 years of experience.

Send them your pictures. They'll say one of two things - It fine, or bring it in.

Quite a comprehensive answer from canoe! Good thorough advice. One thing that stood out for me in skool's post: "...reduce the amps to 48 or 46..." There is no way the amps should be more than 48. (60 Amp circuit and breaker. Tesla Wall charger will use 80% which equals 48 Amps.) How many...

You didn't charge at a SC and you didn't charge at home. So by default you charged at "other". It doesn't matter if it's at work or at a hotel or shopping center, they still total it as "other".

I've booked a Model 3 rental starting in Frankfurt, Germany with a company called UFODrive. You don't see an agent at the start or end of your rental. Charging is included. You find the car with their app (not the Tesla app). Your phone is your key. They have rental locations in Germany (3)...

Weigh your ebikes AFTER you remove the batteries. You may be within limits then. Seems to be a lot of people don't understand the limits like you do.

A small flat tipped screwdriver is ideal. Mine is about 4 inches long, fits in a shirt pocket (describing size, not where I store it.) It stays in my center console.

Is there a way to display these so the title can be read easily? When I click to see the title, it downloads the whole thing. I just want to browse the titles to see if anything applies to me.

Amir took your car home for a day, but don't worry he can't do that again. :)

I'd like a quick way to engage the front camera when parking. Proximity sensors are still good (on my car at least) but sometimes you want to see up front, such as when a low object might be there.
