    Free FSD for 1 Month

    More info: Version 12.3.3 and it sucks pretty bad. If this is an improvement over v11 then you people using 11 were risking your own lives and the lives of other commuters! It wants to camp out in the fast lane, unless of course I am in the slow lane and come up behind a car going 10 mph...

    Free FSD for 1 Month

    CRAP! I really doubt I would be enthusiastic enough after a month trial to pay for FSD, but timing could not be worse. Was this tied to the software update I just did, and if I had waited to do the update until I returned from my trip would I have gotten a month free trial of FSD in May? As...

    Will 18" snows on my Model Y Performance work?

    Post up results either confirming or refuting the idea... I would love to have confirmation. Keep in mind, the tires for the model 3 will be much too small for the Y, but you should be able to confirm the wheels fit and then buy the correct tires for them to be the proper overall diameter for...

    Here are pictures of the full set, all wheel faces and tread depth measurements. The first two tread depths are both 7/32, the third is 4/32 and the fourth is edge between 5/32 and 6/32.

    Hansshow Steering Wheel Stuck

    Get a slide hammer (you can rent one from Autozone) and go to town, with a hit on one side and then switch to the other side with it attached as close to the center of the wheel as you can get it. Oh, and like Snakedoc said, put the bolt back in a few threads so you don't bust your nose. Keith

    Trying to understand my options for a second set of rims for a '23 MYP

    Because of the speed rating of the snow tires is lower than the max speed of the MYP... at least the ones available from Tire Rack (in 255/45/19) are V speed rated... not sure why a higher speed rating is available in Europe for the Pirelli WINTER SOTTOZERO 3. If they will not sell them to you...

    Autopilot Rainbow

    You now have a "rainbow all the time" option that does not play the music, and activates the rainbow whenever AP is in use. I find the rainbow a better visual indicator that AP is active than two blue lines to the sides of the car image on the display, so I have the "rainbow all the time"...

    Tesla model Y owner adds buttons to touchscreen

    That is why you hide them... none of mine are easily visible (back of steering wheel spokes, front of center consol under the overhang etc.) but they are all easily accessible without taking your attention away from the road. Even when using auto pilot you are supposed to be paying attention to...

    Mobile Charger Issue with 14-50. Works fine with 14-30.

    Yeah, notice that all the other wires are dirty, but the new wires for the 50 amp are clean, and the ones that are doubled up are relatively clean compared to the rest... looks like they were moved. Keith

    Model Y has FSD enabled but shows it as an upgrade still?

    Good catch! I notice he has the orange download arrow... what you want to bet after he does a software update he either has FSD and the option to subscribe to FSD goes away... OR FSD functionality goes away. Keith

    Model Y has FSD enabled but shows it as an upgrade still?

    I am pretty sure that this car has enhanced auto pilot, it does not have FSD. That is why it has summon as an option in the app, and if it does NOT show enhanced auto pilot as one of the optional purchases but does show FSD as a purchase option that will confirm my speculation. If that is the...

    Don't drive my Tesla in heavy rain due to battery damage???

    This took place a bit over a year ago, I love the new job and just purchased a house here... moving in end of this week / begining of next week. Glad I locked in my interest rate a month and a half ago! Keith

    Winter tires -- should I buy the Tesla full tire set? (I'm in VT)

    Plenty of sets of 19" take off wheels with TPMS that you can use for snow tires, just do a search here. Keith

    Don't drive my Tesla in heavy rain due to battery damage???

    Four hours allotted time to complete 4 tests, the person mentioned above taped out after 15 min. Took me 3 hours to complete and review (twice) the tests and when I was done there was one person left in the testing room... I considered him potential competition :) Everyone else lasted an hour...

    MY towing range with 1.6T caravan

    Update on replacing OEM 12v lead-acid battery with lithium?

    Usually you get weird behavior from warning lights that actually have nothing to do with the battery, usually the ABS system, sometimes traction control when the 12V battery of an ICE car is getting weak. This is also how you know your 12V battery is getting weak on a Chevy Bolt... Since even...

    Don't drive my Tesla in heavy rain due to battery damage???

    I was at a job testing site for a new very competitive job (my now current job) and one of the other candidates asked if that was my Tesla in the parking lot. I said yes, and he gleefully informed me that it runs on coal... to which I replied "Yup, I currently work at a coal fired power plant...

    Precondition vs HVAC

    Totally off topic: Do you like Home Assistant? I did a whole home automation based on Alexa, but it had many limitations and I don't really like having a spy device (other than my phone) listening to my every word. Thanks, Keith

    Suma Performance blind spot mirrors compared to OEM with stick on convex mirrors.

    You can get the Sumas with or without the blue tint. I have heavily tinted windows so I went with no coating on the mirrors. Keith

    Precondition vs HVAC

    Cool and humid here in the winter as well. Don't use de-fog, that blows cold air on the windshield and leads to MORE water condensation on the outside of the windshield, use the "defrost" option instead. About 2 min or less of defrost setting clears the windshield, and heats it up enough to...

    Strange code issue.

    Hey guys, When sitting at home, my Tesla connects to my Wi-Fi so it can get updates, but the connection from inside my home to out in the driveway is weak, so when I need to navigate somewhere I (by habit) turn off the Wi-Fi before inputting a destination. The other day, I did this without...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Finally had a battery die! I am not sure when I purchased my S3XY buttons (I can probably find out by searching this thread) but the button I have set up for AP gets used several times a day, and the battery finally gave out on it. Apparently, it is a CR2032 battery and pretty easy to...

    New tire will not seal.

    Final update! Went back to the tire shop and they swapped on the new rear tires after I told them I had found the problem. Their attitude was "those shouldn't have been loose". Sorry charley, but when it literally takes less than 5 seconds per wheel to check the tightness of the TPMS sensors...

    New tire will not seal.

    I couldn't find a definitive answer on what torque should be, ranging from 4 newton meters to 7 newton meters, so I went with 50 inch pounds (a hair under 6 newton meters). This has solved the leak and didn't damage the TPMS sensors, so I guess 50 inch pounds is a good number for future...

    New tire will not seal.

    ARRRRRRRGGGGGG! I figured it out when I went to bump up the pressure in the leaking tire before doing my soap water test and the F'ing valve moved while I was trying to screw in the tire pump! I will look up the torque requirement for the TPMS sensors (probably a few inch lbs) and tighten the...

    New tire will not seal.

    Hey guys, Got some new tires installed on my 18's from T-sportline yesterday, and the tire shop can't get one of them to stop leaking. I have had these rims on the car for 35,000 miles without any leaks, so it shouldn't be a problem with the rims, and after being unable to get one of the new...

    Had to order new tires sooner than I wanted...

    I live in a warm climate, so I don't really need the excellent snow capability of the crossclimate2, I just needed something that won't kill me in the snow if I have to drive north in the winter as long as I drive carefully. In a head-to-head there was a noticeable difference in range between...

    Had to order new tires sooner than I wanted...

    255/45/19 vs 235/50/19 should be about 5mm difference in diameter for 0.77% difference in the speedometer (around 1 kph at 100 khp) but some brands are less consistent on measurements, so perhaps yours are a bit more than 5mm larger diameter? Later, Keith

    Had to order new tires sooner than I wanted...

    I suspect you are in Canada or Europe based on running 100, at least I hope that is KPH :D Anyway, I wonder if the cars sold in metric markets don't have a built in offset on the speedometer? I also wonder if when running stock diameter tires in the US if I switch over to metric will the...

    Had to order new tires sooner than I wanted...

    Wow, that is strange! I remember the first new car I purchased coming with all the crap in the glove box, including all the information on the tire warranty. I never tried to use it, but it was there. Does Michelin give any explanation of why they don't honor their warranty? Keith

    Bogus "Gas Savings"

    Yeah, Arkansas did the same thing (200 per year per EV). The more EV's on the road the more pushback they will get on this crap. Granted, some method of making up for road tax on fuel is needed... but charging EV drivers significantly MORE than they would pay if they were driving a huge gas...

    Bogus "Gas Savings"

    My other car is a Chevy Bolt, so I don't save crap from driving the Tesla :D When I purchased the Tesla I was considering either selling the Bolt, or trading it in but my wife loves that little car way too much to give it up, so we are now an all EV family (until I get my shop built, and get...

    First time charging - range question on MYLR

    The model Y comes with two battery pack options, the long range and performance have a large capacity battery pack made from 2170 cells, and the standard range with a smaller capacity pack made from 4680 cells. If they sold you a standard range while advertising it as a long range (even if they...

    Had to order new tires sooner than I wanted...

    I realized as I left work one day last week that I had a tire that was low (TPMS don't read until you start moving) so I stopped at the gas station half a mile away and bumped the pressure back to normal with my tire pump. There was no obvious source of the leak so I proceeded home where it is...

    Flat Tire Q's - What's the latest?

    I always keep a plug kit and tools to remove a foreign object from the tread in the car along with a tire pump. It would be a pain in the butt depending on where in the tread the foreign object was, but acceptable in an emergency. If I had a sidewall blowout, or cracked rim from road debris...

    Neighbor took delivery today - received 2022 build?

    If I purchase a 2021 pickup truck from Ford that got left on a back lot and forgotten about that has never been sold to anyone else, it is a "new car" purchase, the date of manufacture has very little bearing on what is considered "new".

    Y is as fast as gas!

    That was a joke about Kyle Conner from "out of spec motoring" YouTube channel. He has a history of pushing the limits on the low end of the battery before stopping to charge. To be fair, I don't think he has ever run out, he adjusts his speed as needed to arrive at near zero when getting to a...

    Bogus "Gas Savings"

    How much do you pay per kWh for electricity? Doing the math if you are averaging 3.5 miles per kWh (285 wh/mile) would mean your electricity costs around 37 cents per kWh. I think the Tesla app uses national averages for gasoline and electricity, and it is using 16 cents per kWh. This may...
