    Tesla Model Y 2023 - Missing spare CANBUS/OBD plug near A pillar - No more aftermarket gadgets?

    My brand new (December 2023) Model Y from Fremont doesn't have one under the center console; I looked in both sides. I did find the blue plug in the back of the center console. I haven't looked in the A pillar yet.

    Anyone familiar with Yahasun Auto Frunk?

    Yahasun just installed a power frunk on my Model S and a power trunk on my MIL's Model 3 today. I set up the appointments after seeing this post. I just wanted to tell everyone that I was really impressed by the service of Wendy and Godwin. Wendy is very responsive to emails and txts...

    Does anyone stock wall charging stations in SoCal?

    Are you near Inglewood? If you don't find one, maybe you can borrow my travel charger. But I want it back.

    Lotus Evija Hypercar

    An unbelievably beautiful design. It's absolutely stunning. But is this car even street legal? It has cameras instead of side mirrors. I don't side reflectors, etc.

    Why no convertible options?

    Because the market is just still too small. Somewhere around 1-2% of the new car market is BEVs. If you want a niche vehicle, you will have to wait for market maturity.

    Can the on-route-preheat be turned off?

    Like all of the extra battery-hungry features, I bet there is a minimal SOC that is required.

    4 Bent Rims - 20" - Anyone else?

    This happens all the time. Wheels get bent some times. It happens. I've had it happen with multiple cars, motorcycles, etc. Sometimes you hit something and don't realize it. Just get the wheels fixed and move on.

    Model 3Key Fob

    I've been incensed about this stupid phone key reliability since I got my Model 3 all the way back in December, but these days it works perfectly all the time. I've been hoping for a key fob, but now that it is coming I don't need it any more? Gah. It's exhausting staying mad at Tesla. I'll...

    Torklift Ecohitch

    You guys might want to see how well those crash bar nuts are secured. I could only get 1 thread on the stud. I know Tesla changes things all the time, so I can't comment on your cars. But on my car, if the stock nut were used, it could not be securely attached...

    Torklift Ecohitch

    I just pulled off my rear bumper today. The ecohitch looks completely fine. There is no visible corrosion beyond a little surface rust. I coated all of the contact surfaces with some paint just in case. Though I'm stuck with a different problem. I took off the bumper to install the aluminum...

    Sluggish Off the Line Acceleration Model 3?

    You guys are comparing P Model S to a non-P Model 3. Non-P cars, whether S or S, are a little sluggish off the line. My non-P Model S is the same way. Non-P cars just don't hit the ground the way P cars do.

    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    ... and I'm done. I'm buying stock wheels. It's been less than a year and I keep having problems. I've had them rebalanced 3 times, are a pita to clean, rob me 10% of my range, and now two of the wheels are slightly out of round causing the car to vibrate. I'm sick of this *sugar*. The stock...

    CA drivers with solar

    SCE tou-d-a here with 8kw rooftop pv. The higher price during the day with solar and cheap charging at night is great! We got a $700 credit last year. I'm not even sure what do with all this credit!

    Refused delivery Fri 4/20 :/

    Hahaha, I remember doing that. It doesn't work. You can tell them whatever you want to require. They will agree to all of it. None of it will happen. QC is done by the customer at Tesla. Just accept that and go get your amazing car.

    My car has gone slightly haywire

    This is mostly to do with the bluetooth key system, and I've already turned bluetooth off/on, rebooted the display, and powered off the car... so bare with me. The 2 key cards no longer work on the B pillar, but they still work to start the car by the cup holders. My Android phone still...

    Can you validate any of these Software update claims?

    I interview people for tech jobs a lot. My biggest pet peeve is when people make answers without clearly saying they guessing. I even tell people ahead of time. Do not make up answers. "I don't know" is a good answer. And still, most people try to impress and make up answers. It drives me bonkers.

    Why can't I use the Model 3 adaptor on the Model S? Currently I use blocks of wood, so I don't think it would be worse then my current situation.

    Buy the Model S Now or Wait 3-4 months?

    Op, I think you should buy a used model S right now. Buy a 1.5-3 year old car and get AP1. You want a Model S today, but you don't want to drop a grip of change because of incoming upgrades. With a used car, you can save 5 digits on a car. You will experience the splendor that is AP1. When...

    Newbie charging question: parked outside, cable run under garage door

    I see people running their charge cable under the garage door all the time. If you have a little cushion or a little gap under the door, then It's fine. Obviously you don't want to be crushing the cable. Personally, I'd try to put the whole kit outside because I wouldn't want to open the garage...

    Buy the Model S Now or Wait 3-4 months?

    If the Model 3 is any indication of the future Model S, I would order now. The control stalks on the Model 3 are obnoxious; literally the worst thing about the car. I would hate to have them on the Model S.
