    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    I have a 2020 Model Y. I do not have Hepa filters, but two filters in the cabin. Does this update remove those cabin filters? They are a pain to replace. Or do I have to replace both types of filters after the upgrade?

    How much should the HOA charge? (I'm the HOA president)

    So a couple of thoughts. I live in a Condo in North Carolina. Most Condo building have a separate CB panel for common area power (Lights and such). It is separate from each unit CB panel. Most have very light loads with no heavy equipment like HVAC. So you probably have a 100A or 200A...

    Condo charging options

    Question on Evercharge. I live in a season community in a condo. Does the $15 charge applies only if you use the charger in a particular month? Or is it $15 every month or can you put it on vacation or something.

    TESLAA will not connect

    I have been using TeslaA for about 6 months and it worked fine. Some freezing of the screen that a refresh would fix. I recently signed up for the Android 13 beta and upgraded. Now when my phone connects to the bluetooth and the hotspot connects, I just see a black/grey window in the...

    Elon: Working on Tesla NA Service. Goal of having 2/3 of cars have same day service w/ no wait.

    I think we are comparing apples to oranges. Tesla is providing service directly. All other OEMs in US provide their cars to dealers and then dealers do the service. Each of these are independently owned. So each of those dealers are more incentivized to provide great service because that is...

    Elon: Working on Tesla NA Service. Goal of having 2/3 of cars have same day service w/ no wait.

    I just got an update on my appointment. The reschedule was due to a part not on hand. They said when they got the part they would try and make my appointment earlier.

    Elon: Working on Tesla NA Service. Goal of having 2/3 of cars have same day service w/ no wait.

    Glad to see him make the commitment. Now he needs to deliver. Made a service appointment for a Ranger, got an initial date 4 days later. Then it got revised to 22 days later.

    CarPlay & Android Auto Hack - Walkthrough

    Never want to discourage software/hardware development, but TeslaA on the Google Play Store is fantastic. Gives me Android Auto on my Tesla screen and uses my phone just like all the other android auto implementations and is wireless. Webbrowser freeses a few times, but just refresh and it is...

    Head lights not coming on when wipers are on

    I am not aware of any state or country/region that it is unlawful to have your headlights ON when wipers are on. So Tesla, you should implement the feature that is unlawful in many states. The headlights should go ON when the wipers are ON. Period. Then you are helping your customers in...

    Tesla App Store Concept

    The challenge will be how much new coding do developers have to do to their APPs from the ones they write for Apple and Android to make it work on the Tesla UI. The other challenge is how the APPs use the screen real estate when parked and when driving. Tesla UI today does not have a...

    Accessing car controls via web

    There is a windows app in the APP Store called Tesla Control that allows you to make changes. You can also use TeslaFI through a web browser and set some controls. Of course you have to use their security setup and provide your tesla credentials or code.

    Profile Name on main screen gone.

    I have no inside information and Tesla certainly does not do a good job explaining their reason for changes. It is just my guess that they are preparing the UI for future enhancements. On the issue of Profiles, I would not be surprised that they removed them from the main screen because they...

    Who to contact to truly escalate service issue? 11+ critical features not working for half of ownership….

    I had a problem when I was getting a "reduced power" error. Took multiple service calls before they found the root cause. In my case it was a bad wiring plug. I found that having a relationship with your service contact is helpful. They can schedule appointments for you outside the app. Mine...

    AP wants me to switch to left lane "to follow route" on empty freeway...?

    I have seen this behavior when there is an upcoming entrance ramp. The AP does not like to be in the right lane and have cars merge on to the road in the same lane. It will brake and let those cars merge in front. So it tries to be in the next left lane to let those cars merge. Since it...

    Turtle Mode: Power Reduced. Exiting and re-entering the vehicle may restore operation

    I wanted to describe a problem I had with my Model Y in case others encounter it. I took delivery of my Mode Y in August of 2020. In November of 2020, I got an error message on my Screen: Power Reduced. Exiting and re-entering the vehicle may restore operation with a turtle icon. The error...

    Do Not Understand Tesla Rationale for Why There is No Sirius/XM in Model 3 or Y

    Sirus and XM are OLD technology. With improved and available cellular service around the majority of the country, satellite receivers are not needed. Yes, all OEMs integrated Sirus/XM in their infotainment systems in the 2000s. With most moving to Apple Car Play or Android Auto which do not...

    CA DMV failing Tesla car for behind the wheel drive test

    I can still remember over 50 years ago when I was 16. The big FAIL item on TX DMV test was parallel parking. Everyone had big/long cars. My Dad had a Cadillac also a karmann ghia. So my choice was a BIG/LONG automatic or a small manual trans car. Used the Ghia and no sweat. Passed easily...

    CA DMV failing Tesla car for behind the wheel drive test

    How much does this upset you and your child. If so, fight it. You said you talk to the examiner manager. They backed up the examiner. It won't be in any law. It will be in the DMV procedures. I would contact your state house representative. Also contact the State DMV not the local...

    former BMW owners

    I had been a BMW owner for over 25 years. 1996 318I, 1997 M3 Sedan, 2002 740LI, 2007 X3, 2016 X3. They were good cars, but expensive to maintain. No upgrades. I was one of the first with I-Drive. I now have a Tesla Model Y. The MY is better than an X3. Period. It drives about the...

    Dear Elon: just remove navigation from your cars

    I wish we could all use the same terminology. Carplay and Android Auto are the user interface on the car screen that Apple and Google Control. Then there a applications like maps, navigation, music, etc. On most vehicles there is also an underlying native OS that controls many real time items...

    Turtle Mode?

    As luck would have it, I got another Turtle Mode alert when I got in to drive it to the Service Center. So they now have 4 instances to review the logs. Car in service now. No report from Tesla so far. They gave me a Model 3 as a loaner.

    Turtle Mode?

    Thank You. I set up an appointment and that is exactly what we did. I have Teslafi and gave them the exact time of the error. They set up a Tesla Ranger appoint as I am 2.5 hours from a service center. Just got a message that they reviewed the logs and I need to bring it to the service...

    Any after market for Hitch Cover Plate?

    Can we all agree the cover is not Tesla's best design or engineering. Probably was not high on their priorities list. Having said that, what have other car companies done on SUVs? I think there will be a retro-fit solution. A cover with a cut out or a door. For me I don't want to keep...

    Freeyourtesla.com tablet mount

    For the same reason that in modern aircraft they have a Primary Flight Display and a Multi-function display. Also, because Tesla has a closed architecture and do not allow for third parties to add applications. I like Waze. This would be a good use case for that. I like to monitor my email...

    2020.36.11

    Ok, I must be the dummy. What icon is the "Cluster speedometer". When I tap on the current speed of the vehicle on the left pane; nothing happens. It only changes to the new speed limit when I tap the Speed limit sign on the screen.

    just saw this new center screen add-on

    I guess I don't see the need. Maybe if you don't have FSD it might put the speed closer to your view. HUD maybe, but not a second screen. The data they are showing is not what I need in front of me. If you want this get a Model S or X.

    Any idea on this App Error?

    There is no functionality in the APP before the car is assigned to you after you sign the delivery paperwork and the Delivery Agent confirms in their software. All it does is point you to the support web site of Tesla and lets you watch Model Y videos. Don't fret with the effort. The...
