80 percent daily, 90 percent road trips, 100 percent emergencies has served me well.

M1 visa. Just got an email from m1 that effective 6feb2024, Tesla charges will no longer get 10 percent back for m1+ members. Now only 2.5 percent 😐

Yes, Model 3.

What brand of adapter did you use to convert the 7 pin to the 4 pin that U-Haul uses?

Advice/Speculation on end of Q3 2023 promos? I have a 2018 Model 3 LR RWD FSD with 103K miles. I had planned on trading in for a Y or Cybertruck in 2024 (but I didn't reserve Cybertruck till 2020, so likely 2025 before I would be eligible for one). This FSD transfer program has me...

What if one charges at a supercharger with time of day variable pricing. Does the number of miles debited from the 10,000 credit vary based on time of day?

It's based on miles actually added when supercharging. For most people who mostly charge at home this can be looked at as free supercharging for 2 years ( unless one takes a lot of road trips then one will hit the 10 k before 2 years).

My original post had an error. Sorry. I ordered at the end of March 2022, so my order price was $62,990. It's a blur to me as I originally ordered a Y back in August 2019, but it was a LR RWD and Tesla never produced this variant, but Tesla strung me along for 2 years until Tesla cancelled my...

Looks like I was confused on my own order date. I ordered May 2022, not Feb 2022. So my order price was 62,990 + dest / doc / order fee.

So I have a model Y LR AWD I ordered in Feb 2022 at a $3000 discount from current price. Originally scheduled for Feb 2023 delivery. Order in hold. Should I / could I unhold the delivery / take delivery by Dec 31 2022 and get Feb 2022 pricing ($3000 less) with additional $7500 off and 10k...

2018 Model 3 RWD LR here. Phone as a key has been working well for at least a year now, but over last week or two have been getting intermittent problems with ability to start car and car wants the keycard. This has happened with both a Pixel 6 and an Iphone 12. Tesla running software...

In similar situation. Model Y LR AWD ordered May 2022 with initial estimated delivery date of Feb-May 2023. Received SMS from Tesla sales 14NOV2022 that delivery would be "in next several weeks." App says Estimated Delivery Dec 12-31. Obviously do not want to forfeit the $7500 tax credit...

OK, I have a successful repair to report after visit 5 :). The problem was the Sensor - Temperature - Evaporator (remove and replace). Here is the narrative from Tesla: " Inspected refrigerant pressures while operating A/C at 66 degrees with automatic climate enabled. After 20 minutes...

Everyone's AC problem is a little different. I'm glad to hear the variations as it may give someone a clue to get theirs fixed. I want to stress though that my situation , the climate control is not just a little uncomfortable. If left alone the cabin temp will climb into the upper 90s with a...

Unfortunately, after 4 tries at the service center (JUN-JUL 2022) , my A/C problem (intermittent reduced cool air flow) still not fixed. Visit 1: Replaced LH and RH Bleed actuator, RH Vent Actuator, RH body control module, Low Voltage controller right, Air vent assembly passenger Visit 2...

Update: my actuator vanes and the low voltage controller that supplies them were replaced by Tesla. Unfortunately low air flow / hot interior came back 30 minutes after I picked up vehicle. Took my Tesla back in on for service. Tech did experience the intermittent problem himself today after...

Part comes in 6JUN2022 and due to pickup vehicle 7JUN2022. Will report back after a few days later r to make sure fixed problem.

Having some similar issues with my 2018 model 3 RWD LR. When a/c on auto , set on 70F, outside 80F, after 20 or 30 minutes the airflow decreases and interior gets warm. However air feels cool coming out of vent, just reduced flow. Can turn a/c to manual and turn fan to 10 but air flow still...

Noise was ok, I had hoped for a more quiet ride. I have an early model 3 that lacks the sound insulation that the more recent models have. Ride quality and traction excellent. Although i had planned to drive them in snow, due to pandemic, this did not happen, so can't report on that. If a 3...

Final numbers on the vredstein quatrac tires. After 40k miles, down to 4/32 inch, 234 Wh/mile. Replacing them with 235/45ZR-18 CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS XL.

I have a AMEX Hilton card which gives 3x Hilton points on all purchases and 6x points on US Auto Gasoline purchases. It seems anti climate friendly to penalize people for charging EV versus buying gas. Recently I noticed Tesla Supercharger purchases have been changed to appear as "TESLA INC...

Interesting. Suspect will be a subscription model like renting a cable box, say $19.95 a month. In exchange for free off peak charging and not having to pay for a charger and charger installation costs might be worth it for some people.

I had a $2500 preorder for the Model Y LR RWD since 2019 (refunded JAN 2022). I just stumbled upon and just bought a Hyundai Ionic 5 instead (for a family member). It's no Tesla, but so far seems like a decent automobile. Yeah, I could have switched to the AWD Model Y early on, but Tesla led...

Getting vredestein quatrac tires Rotated today at 32k miles. Tread down to 5/32" so looks like I'll be replacing them at 38k miles.

I actually reset a trip odom and named it "Vredestein" after tire installation. After 32K miles I have an efficiency of 234 Wh/mile on the Quatrac 5. Lifetime is 237 Wh/mile. OEM Michelin Primacy MXM4 had 240 Wh/mile. So there has been a 2.5% IMPROVEMENT in efficiency from 240 to 234 after...

Backup cameras required on all new cars since May 2018. Rear camera is a mandated safety requirement. https://abcnews.go.com/US/cars-us-now-required-backup-cameras/story?id=54854404

My rear view camera went out today on my August 2018 Tesla Model 3 RWD LR (software version 2021.44.25.6 FSD beta 10.8). I have contacted service through the app and a mobile service appt is scheduled 9 days from now (originally scheduled for 2 days, but moved by Tesla to allow time for parts...

I have submitted a bug report 28NOV2021. RNHurt, Thanks for the link. maybe something will get fixed. I have had this problem with multiple phones, getting texts from dead people as if they are sending from the grave.

Still waiting for the MY LR RWD FSD ordered AUG 2019. Order page still says "Prepare for Delivery." as of 7AUG2021. Not in a hurry to get it so will let it ride.

My unpaid balance did not correct overnight. I went in tesla.com and paid the balance without re-entering my credit card info.

I received a similar message "We noticed your Tesla Account doesn’t have a valid Supercharger payment method on file." regarding a supercharging session during the morning of Sep 23, 2020. An afternoon session did not generate such an email. My credit card on file doesn't expire for several...

I replaced my OEM 18" Michelin Primacy MXM4 with Vredestein Quatrac 5 in August 2020. The OEM tires have about 32,000 miles on them and were down to 4/32 tread. I have not noticed any more noise with the Vredestein. As far as efficiency, my OEM's , always using the aero covers, had a...

Panama City is listed as now open, and Pensacola is listed as coming soon, so maybe the Destin one has been put on back burner. seems like with the Target stores partnership the Destin Target should eventually get one?

@ohmman, Did @joseanes mean 750 Wh/mi rather than 750 Kwh/mi not 469 Wh/km ?

On that Casita Forum, Don a few messages later corrects his tounge weight downward: " QUOTE (Don @ Feb 21 2008, 08:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <snip> Actual CAT scale weights, Sep, 2007 - trailer axle 2,920 lbs, tongue 600 lbs. Actual CAT scale weights, Oct, 2007 - trailer axle 2,980 lbs, tongue...

First off, I wanted a model y before the towing option was announced. But then i thought pulling a small travel trailer would be a bonus. But after doing the math on cargo capacity as you mentioned, compromises would have to be made. There is no way my party of three plus car cargo is less...

Thanks for all the insight. 3 people going on trip. so although the Y camp mode is intriguing for 1 or 2; too crowded for 3 people.

Was considering getting a Model Y and buying / towing a small Travel Trailer near the Great Smokey Mountains (North Carolina) for a vacation this fall. With the popularity of RVs this year, I imagine others may be considering similar trips. After doing much research, and with many thanks to...

I curious about the ultra-light travel trailer options for the Y also. The Bambi 16RB caught my eye but the hitch weight is 430 pounds, and I read that the limit for the Y is 350 pounds. I wonder if anyone has consider the Forest RIver R-pod 171. 252 lb hitch weight and 2504 dry weight...

Regarding factory tow hitch on upcoming Model Y LR RWD 19": Would anybody expect the load limits of 3500 lbs / 350lb tongue weight to be any different for the RWD vs AWD?

FWD Y. Now that is something different. If the next thing I read is that FWD will also have a CVT then I'll know I've been waiting too long and it is time to upgrade to AWD.

I was driving by the Crestview,FL Panera location today and turned in. I did see some evidence of surveying near the main highway, but no other evidence. I took a photo. There were no workers present to ask. That red building in the photo is a freestanding ATM. Crestview would be nice...

LR AWD Y price just dropped $3000 to $49,990. For me with a March 2019 order, that would mean $2000 to upgrade RWD to AWD and optionally $2000 more to pay the new $8000 FSD price rather than old $6000 FSD. Not sure whether to wait or take the bait?

No supercharger in Destin, yet. A good number of Level 2's available at places you might be spending a few hours at anyway: Destin commons, Seaside, Whole Foods.

For me, the coronavirus pandemic and stock market drop make waiting to hear my RWD "fate" seem like a feature.

Seems like if they went to the trouble of updating the wheels they may eventually make the LR RWD. Or, Who knows they might sell a limited number of software locked front drive units?

Mine working intermittently. Suspect Tesla servers being hammered with many people testing voice commands all at once

I installed the Bosch pure vision PUV 19 and PUV 26 from O'Reilly Auto Parts in August, 2019. Unfortunately after 3 months the blade on the driver / left side was squeaking and chattering. No amount of cleaning of blade and glass stopped it. The blade seemed to be less flexible than the...

I have a very similar story to "More Cowbell", so I won't start a new thread. But I will post it here to warn others that if you get the "Car needs service, may not restart" message, the message is serious and the car indeed not restart eventually. Long story, so I'll just give the...
