This is a thread for those of us (a minority) who value efficiency and economy over performance and thrills. Nothing against performance seekers and thrill buyers - they contribute to the mission of fossil fuel usage reduction bigly. When I owned a 2005 Prius, there was a class of drivers...

My long range Model Y was built in April, 2021. I believe that when new it had either a 75 kWh or 78 kWh battery (too early for the 82kWh battery). Is there any way of finding out which it was built with? The current battery capacity after 10 months and 16,500 miles is about 71.3 kWh which...

I have an average of 234 Whr/mile over the life of my Model Y (15,305 miles). Can anyone beat this or am I the best? Pictures or it didn't happen!

Recurrent evaluates my Model Y battery each month. My Y is about 9.5 months old and has 14,700 miles on it. The last evaluation report (see attachment) say my range is 300 miles and that it is significantly below other Model Ys of the same age/mileage. The 300 miles agrees with the 100%...

I traded my Model 3 in for a Model Y but kept the Tesla Model 3 all-weather floor mats. These all-weather floor mats, sold by Tesla, are for sale for $65; original cost from Tesla was $225. I'd like to sell them locally (finger lakes, NY area) but if someone wants to pay the postage I guess I...

4 wheels and aerocovers for sale - $400 - no TPS or tires - some scuffing on a couple of the wheels. I want to sell them within 100 miles. Mailing them would be too expensive (unless you want to pay for UPS postage!)

My wife and I are downsizing from 2 cars to just our Model Y and just this past week gave our Honda CRV to our son in North Caroline. This required us to drive the CRV to the Raleigh area then drive a rental Toyota back to New York. This was the first time I've driven a Highlander and I was...

If I open the hatch when the Y is parked in my garage, the hatch rises so much that it hits the garage door (the door is above the Y when the garage door is open). Is there some way to adjust how far the hatch opens? Right now I need to remember not to open the hatch while the Y is in my...

Is it possible to remove music selection from the User Interface? I couldn't find anything in the owners manual nor after playing around on the screen. Wife and kids have added so much stuff that I can't find mine anymore!

So on Friday I picked up my Model Y from Mt Kisco, then drove to my brother-in-law's house for the night in Connecticut before driving back to Upstate NY - about 340 miles. I charged at his house overnight and left with a full charge. The display indicated that the battery was preconditioning...

I have a 2018 Model 3 LR RWD. I have an order in to get a Model Y LR AWD which should get here in mid April. Here's what I don't understand. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=39836&id=43406 Both of these vehicles have a 75kwh battery. The Model 3 is more efficient...

Did I purchase the software when I purchased the car? If so, shouldn't I legally be able to transfer FSD from my Model 3 to a new Model Y? I know that Tesla doesn't offer this service, nor anyone else that I know of, but if someone could figure out how, wouldn't it be legal? Or does Tesla...

When I was growing up in small town Ohio back in the days before mandatory seatbelts, my dad, on occasion, would take his Buick out on the best highway around and do lots of aggressive accelerations to, as he called it, "blow the carbon out". I am trying to come up with an excuse to give my wife...

I have a 2018 LR RWD Blue Model 3 for sale. It has FSD, aftermarket TSportsline wheels, 47,000+ miles (because I'm still driving it). Tesla' s offered me $34,600 for trade in on a Model Y. I also save $3000 because of reduced sales tax by trading it in. I love this car - 47,000 trouble free...

I have 4 of the 18" OEM Model 3 Wheels for sale at $80 ea + shipping. They have some minor scuffing but are perfect for snow tires. I've already sold the aero covers, but these come with the Tesla center caps and lug nut covers. I can send pictures if there is any interest.

I used to be able to set the speed for my Model 3 to +5 mph over the speed limit while in Enhanced Autopilot. This was useful because I am certain my speedometer reads about 2 mph fast, so that when the speed is set to 55mph, I am really going 53mph, which is too slow. Sometime recently...

I have about 39,000 miles on my Model 3, of which I took delivery in June of 2018. My VIN is 229xx and I don't know whether I have HW2.0 or 2.5 I Have made 3 cross-country trips (western NY to San Diego) as well as trips to North Carolina, Connecticutt, and Toronto. In general, I love my car...

I hit a deer on the way to the gym on Monday morning. This was always a big fear of mine since I thought that the nearest Tesla approved bodyshop was hundreds of miles away. I didn't even see the deer until it hit the right front bumper and went flying through the air. I was only going 35 +/-...

So I found that it is easy to get 450 miles of range per charge here in Tucson. The streets in the city typically have speed limits between 35 and 50 mph, and it is very easy to time the lights so that you only need to stop at about 1 out of 5 or 6 lights. The steady slow speed combined with...

I rarely charge to 100%, but I thought I’d do it today since I recently read that one should do it from time to time. The thing is, it never stopped charging. The miles got up to about 301, then the remaining time-to-charge jumped repeatedly between 20 and 25 minutes for about 15 minutes...

Is there any way of knowing the software update history of my Model 3? Also, I think it would be very useful to have a sticky thread that lists all the software updates and what each one does. Anyone else?

Here in the east the merging section of on-ramps is often not painted with dots or dashes, so my Model 3 interprets the on-ramp section as just an extra wide lane. When on EAP, the car will suddenly weave to the center of this 'wide' lane then move back to the left as the merge section ends...

I live about 300 miles from the nearest Tesla Service Center. So far I've had no need to have any work done on my Model 3. But…I need to have the tires rotated. For those of you who don't have access to a Tesla service Center, who do you trust to put your car on a lift and rotate the tires...

I recently completed a 1500 road trip, relying on the supercharger network to keep the battery charged. My Model 3 is a RWD LR that I took possession of in June. What surprised me on this trip was that after supercharging, the charging display showed a $0.00 fee each time and I can't find any...

In the past week I drove my Model 3 from New York to North Carolina for a wedding. Yesterday, on the way back, after stopping to recharge at the Carlisle Superchargers on I-81, I could not re-engage AEP. The speed limit sign on the display disappeared, the Autosteer steering wheel display...

So there is an intersection on a 2-lane route I regularly travel that causes severe trouble for my Model 3 when on autopilot. Nothing seems particularly unusual about this intersection, but my 3 invariably swerves into the opposite lane at this intersection while traveling at 45 mph (the...

The speedo on my Model 3 reads about 1.5 - 1.7 mph high. Every time I pass one of those automatic radar speed indicators along the side of the road it shows either 1 or 2 miles per hour lower than indicated in my car. Is there a way for an owner to adjust this so it reads accurately or does...

Has anyone added EAP after delivery? How do I do this? Do I need to take my car into a sevice center? Thanks in advance!

When I went into the car to open the charge port door, the screen suddenly went blank. I was able to open the charge port door using my iPhone, but now I'm wondering if the screen will still be blank/black tomorrow morning? If it is, I guess I should reboot the system, but I've never done it...

How am I supposed to know how much the check should be made out for? I had a generic MVPA in my Tesla account until today, now a "zero-bytes" purchase-agreement.dms file has shown up that is actually 0 bytes. My delivery specialist at Mt. Kisco has not yet contacted me although the ISA in Las...

So, in the spreadsheet there is a Model 3 identical to mine that (let's say) has VIN 2284x and it has a delivery date on the west coast of (let's say) June 2nd. Now my VIN is (let's say) 2281x. Does this imply that my car is already assembled? And will soon be shipped to the east coast? I...

I will be getting my Tesla in 3 to 6 weeks and I have now idea how Tesla handles the New York State rebate. The NYS rebate website says that the dealer reduces the price by the amount of the rebate, but on my Tesla Purchase agreement there is no mention of the rebate and the purchase price...
