    Tesla really needs to step up their SUV game (BMW iX impressions)

    Just wait until you try to charge it at public DC fast chargers. What an ordeal that can be, if it happens at all. Range isn’t that great either right ? I was at a Buc-ees in Alabama last weekend. while my y was charging I was watching the poor folks at the EA CCS stations. everyone but the...

    Musk: Most Cybertruck Production Delayed Into 2024

    https://www.kbb.com/car-news/musk-most-cybertruck-production-delayed-into-2024/ I just hope they get the panels and doors aligned well, and the grain of the stainless steel is uniform from panel to panel. Otherwise it’s gonna look like crap. The way a DeLorean looked like crap, off the...

    8,800mi Tire change needed on Friends MYLR

    Me too. OEM 19” continentals. First thing I did was get a good alignment. Rotate every 10K. Easy on the acceleration. These crazy tire wear folks need to Know and use the Power meter to limit acceleration power demand, and zero it out to glide.

    Thoughts and experience of 110 volt charging

    If your circuit breaker panel is in your garage, The cost of running a 240v outlet is minuscule. Little as $50 to take full 7.2kWh advantage of the mobile connector. And not much more to wire up a dedicated 240V EVSE or Wall Connector.

    Tire Rotation NOT necessary if tread wear is even?

    Extend your rotation interval to 10K. The rears are wearing more, just not evident enough yet. I would encourage every Tesla owner to get a 4 wheel alignment when the car is new. It’s a Big reason there is such dramatic tire life differences differences amoung owners. These cars are NOT...

    Homelink issue after 2022.44.25.1 update

    The return of ’cards’ is totally screwed up because they linked them to the audio banner and created another unwanted icon in the dock ! How stupid is that? Audio banner should be put back on the audio pull down and collapsible to just the banner. ’cards’ should be indicated by just the...

    Restore old music player in Holiday Update 2022

    This update basically contradicts all the explanations for the original V11 update, that pissed off so many owners Last year. The excuse then, for eliminating ‘cards’, was that the driving visualization space had to be freed up because more emphasis and space was needed there, as FSD features...

    Display of music or bluetooth on screen after update

    Yeah the audio player banner is horrible now. Why move it to a place that is blocked when your hands are on the steering wheel …? So stupid and unnecessary that they keep making these dumb changes.. It really detracts from any joy of owning the car.

    Holiday Update popped in this morning, fastest download in recent history

    So we finally get a return of cards, but why include the radio banner as one of them, that can’t be seen when your hands are on the steering wheel ?

    Bestest Idealest Battery charging percentage band

    My original tire has a little leak (tiny nail in the tire).Can I plug the tire?

    Whatever happened to men doing things for themselves? It’s pathetic to rely on someone else for this task, or worse be told it can’t be done. Go buy a tire plug repair kit from Walmart or an auto parts store. If it’s a really tiny nail, the hole may need to be enlarged for the plug to...

    AliExpress Wheel Covers

    They look really nice for someone wanting a performace or turbine look. The stock tire sidewall is more a reason they stick out,than the wheel cover itself. It’s nice they protect the wheel rim. nice find.

    OTA updates nothing to get excited about, sb a purchase deterrent…

    Industry leading, innovative, and touted as one of the best reasons to purchase a Tesla, OTA updates are the worst feature of the car. OTA updates were supposed to be a method of improvement to Tesla vehicles. For me they have become something I dread, all too often they are a means for...

    Model Y / V11: no incoming call notification?

    V11 is Crap. It took away all the “niceties“ the car originally had, with tried-and-true V10. All the feature that worked well, were intuitive, easy to access, impressive and pleasing. Aside from all the nice one-touch controls they stole from us, it’s the way they screwed up the radio...

    Two things removed in V11 with the more recent update (upcoming songs, and Homelink on main screen)

    V11 is crap. The easy & intuitive functionality of everything has been ruined. And it’s ugly. The bottom of the screen is pathetic. A passenger first impression is typically…..”This is terrible.” New owners have no idea how badly they’ve been screwed.

    Why didn't the car go into Park Automatically here?

    It’s a shame this happened to you. Everyone must train themselves to verify the car is in park before they get out. And then double check. The problem has been around for almost 20 years now, since Prius introduced a non-standard ‘return to center’ shifter and an engine that shuts down. Jeep‘s...

    Should I full ppf my new white model y?

    I highly recommend full Front PPF. IF you hate rock chips and want to protect your cars finish, it‘s the way to go. I drove my last car 200,000 miles and it had no front paint chips. The “re-spray” camp is silly. Nobody really does it and if they do, the paint still gets chipped before and...

    Ear pressure heat pump humming?

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I hope the vinyl tubing doesn’t widen your hatch panel-gap. Doing both tubing and rigid stops kinda offset each other. Rigid stops push up on the hatch, and Tubing needs to have the hatch pulled down to be effective. You could end up with a huge hatch gap and a lot of tension on the latching...

    Can the fonts be made larger on the touch screen model Y? Seems like speed limit is smaller now 😥

    Can the fonts be made larger on the touch screen model Y? Seems like speed limit is smaller now 😥

    V11 is crap. V10 was one touch for basically everything used on a regular basis. My elbow never had to leave the armrest. one touch heated seat. One touch music, then just swipe the music note icon to open,close, or expand. Swipe the controls icon to open and close. Never did you have to...

    Easy and effective low frequency fix

    The huge and heavy rear hatch of the Model Y is not nearly supported enough, because it doesn’t use sturdy supportive bumpers or stops. It uses flimsy rubber bumpers that are spirally cut (a further lose of rigidity) and are simply twisted into the hatch. No support no rigidity. That’s why the...

    Yes. I think they all have the issue, just some people don’t perceive it. My wife said she noticed nothing unusual, yet it was driving me nuts. My daughter noticed it too. Also took a buddy for a ride, and kept asking him if he felt the ear and sinus pressure, and booming over pavement...
