I wanted to share my experience pulling a new Tab 400 boondock trailer on the Model Y. The Tab 400 weight is ~3000k, add gear and other items and you are near the 3500k limit. The tongue weight is ~325, once you add a full propane tank you are near the 350 lb limit. So for this exercise we...

I am current trading in my old Model S for a new long range model Y. The model S was fairly predictable in range variation on highway traveling and such. The range hit, normally, was not too bad unless there was a significant headwind. How does the Model Y compare? Do you find significant...

I am looking to replace my original model s with a y due to the towing capability. I have all my options and wants I would like but can't decide which looks better with the silver gemini wheels. While I do love the induction, the dumb towing restriction isn't something I want to get into...

I have been having a bit of a struggle trying to correct this issue and want some opinions or anything else come with this problem. I have had the car over 3 years (got used) and this is the first summer this has happened. And, where I live, the summer has been milder than previous summers, so...

So I recently had to purchase two new tires for my Tesla. I purchased it as a CPO a couple of years ago and this is the first time I have had to replace any tires. I did my research, Tesla would not offer any low rolling tires (only the goodyear eagle touring) so I hit up my local Costco and...

So I was unfortunate to have some bumper damage that required a visit to the body shop in early April (9th to be exact). Since that time, Tesla rolled out all the new goodie software for the nav and maps. I have no idea if the body shop did any updates (the car was sitting awhile waiting for...

So my CPO 2013 has the auto windshield wipers (dunno if it was part of the tech package or standard). Anyways, when the operate the the solenoid(?) makes a very loud audible clicking-like sound. Enough that it easily drowns out any car noise (including heavy rain) and you pretty much have to...

This Friday I am visiting my parents in Austin and will need to supercharge at waco (first time). Unfortunately we will be arriving after Collin Street Bakery is closed (so sad, I have never eaten at one). The tesla map doesn't mention much around the supercharger though. I was just curious...

To prevent hijacking a separate thread, I thought I would post these results for those just curious. For basis: the DFW area is defined as the following counties: Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Parker, Johnson, Ellis, Rockwall, Hunt, Hood, Palo Pinto, Kaufman, Wise, Somervell, Navarro, and...

In January I got my CPO 2013 Model S. I recently found out about the A/B batteries and the limited SC charging rate on the older A batteries. With the helpful info I went underneath the car to check the battery stick only to find out it was gone. I had been there, but probably had been worn...

My wife is about to take our first long trip in the Tesla to go to a meeting in Houston. Return trip is not an issue since she has plenty of places to stop off if it range gets hairy (spring, huntsville, corsicana). But on the trip down she would like to minimize supercharger to arrive...

Has anyone looked at the efficiency of using climate control versus opening the sunroof and creating extra drag? I was just curious. I know it depends on many factors (speed, outside temp, climate control temp), but lets look at a typical situation: 60's outside (ideal for sunroof) Speed at...
