Last night I was driving home and was stranded. Chargers are few and far between in Central NY. Heading South in I-81 from Syracuse to home in Bnghamton, I pulled into the relatively new Tully I-81 Tesla Supercharger (250kW), where I've charged before. Arrived with 9%. Battery had...

Hi folks, Another year, another set of tires chewed up because wheels are out of alignment. Problem is, no one in my area (Binghamton, New York) has the equipment to do the alignment. How do I find a tire shop or general auto shop that will do Tesla Model Y alignment, aside from dialing every...

Hi folks, I'm eager to get CCS adapter for my 2021 Model Y. Very few Tesla chargers in my region, better availability of ElectrifyAmerica CCS charging. I have read that one can order the South Korean CCS1 and it will work here in the USA. However, I'm wondering whether I should wait for...

Hi folks, I desperately need to charge at public charger because range of my 2021 Model Y LR in even mild wintery conditions is lousy, now below 200 miles of highway driving. The CHAdeMO adapter is back in stock at Tesla. Here's the page...

Hello, I have a 2021 Model Y. For a few weeks now, I have an odd behavior. Driver's window is down. I click the button to close it. The window goes all the way up, and then it goes back down a few inches. It's as if the window senses resistance or a minor obstruction and backs away from...

I charge my Y to about 70% most evenings after I get home. I leave the cor coiled up on a hanger in the garage. Question is, what is the harm (or benefit?) to leaving the power cord "brick" plugged in? I never unplug my laptop charging cord brick. Here's picture of what I mean, in case power...

I've been reading here that a way to save charge for driving is precondition the battery before leaving while still plugged in to wall power. But how do I do that? On my Tesla app, I see a button for "turn on climate" and a smaller icon with the defrost symbol. But nothing about "precondition...

Hi folks, Every response to "why is my range lousy" is dismissed as range anxiety. Let's try something different. I'm not sure whether I'm getting appropriate range or not. How would I figure it out? Here's my latest example. This past Tuesday (and every Tuesday), I made a...

Hi folks, I finally got word that my September delivery Model Y will arrive 1st week of November. Time to prepare. I recall reading that several of you avoided discovering a build problem weeks or months into ownership by arriving at the delivery service center with a checklist of items to...

Hi folks, Any feedback and understanding would be helpful. The very first week the Model Y was announced, I placed my reservation and plunked down my deposit. I expected 18+ month wait, but lo and behold, announcement that Y's were rolling out the door came in late March, hooray. In May I...

Hi folks, Placing my Model Y order. I need tow hitch for bike rack. $1,000 is very expensive for the one Tesla offers in the ordering process. Are there any 3rd party aftermarket Model Y tow hitches out there yet? I can't seem to find any. But maybe I'm not looking well. Thanks, -- Josh

Longtime lurker. Put in my Model Y reservation the week it was announced. Perhaps my name will come up soon. But 3 million people just filed for unemployment nationwide this past week with the coronavirus disaster. The country is moving into recession if not depression. People are...
