    19” Gemini’s Crackling Noise

    I really do hope that's the case. I'm just over 1000 miles and still hear it just the same.

    19” Gemini’s Crackling Noise

    Wow. I've been experiencing this same issue and thought it was something wrong with my particular MY. I thought maybe it was just the sound of foam in the tires, but I never experienced this with my M3 with Sport wheels. I took delivery of my MY in May 2022, so all this time still no fix when...

    2022 MYP vs MYLR?

    Threads like this always end up turning into a defense of what you ordered yourself! 😄 I too contemplated MYLR vs MYP when originally placing my order, and then again when Tesla gave us the option to change our config without penalty (meaning didn't have to pay then current prices). The cost...

    Getting increasingly fewer miles per charge

    I was referring to estimated range based on efficiency, meaning that number will go down faster than normal. Anyhow, I now realize I misread the original post.

    Getting increasingly fewer miles per charge

    I know we're getting into the warmer months, have you been using your A/C much more frequently in the past couple months? I know in my experience so far that has made a big impact in terms of efficiency (and estimated mileage) versus not using A/C at all.

    Door handle to match tesla gray

    Yes that's correct. Although "Full Wrap" just means it wraps around the edges to appear it's fully wrapped when handle is in the closed door position.

    Tesla Insurance

    I have Tesla Insurance. I've maintained a 100 Safety Score for the past week (approx 200 miles). I try to keep a 5-10 car length distance depending on the steady speed I'm driving and of course can't be maintained during constant stop and go. I drive day and night on all different roads (DNT...

    Anyone come from an X3M?

    I took delivery of my MY today and also have a '21 X3 30i as my last remaining ICE vehicle. Both of my models are a step down (two steps down for the Bimmer) from what you're asking about, but while I do love my MY I also really love my X3. Build quality inside and out is much better and feels...

    Do Model Y windshield and windows have UV protection?

    Depends which UV range you're referring to. UVB and UVC yes, but UVA no. Special coating needed on normal glass to protect against UVA.

    Tesla Insurance

    The rolling score you view is always based on the past 30 days, so if you drive less and score high every time you do drive your score will stay high. It's all about your most recent driving events (past 30 days).

    Tesla Insurance

    It's not too difficult to be honest. It's all about being aware of what you can get dinged for. I try to keep a 5-10 car length distance between myself and the vehicle in front of me at all times to give me plenty of time to react and gradually slow down. Same with aggressive turning. I...

    Tesla Insurance

    It's ongoing. Your premium will change based on your Safety Score each month, so there's really not a set in stone 6-month premium like other insurers. The whole Safety Score system does kind of ruin the "fun" of driving for me. I tried a month of driving like I normally would without paying...

    Is now a good time to buy a model Y performance?

    This isn't completely true and there's another thread detailing a timeline. After approximately Jan 10th-ish it seemed to be 50/50 and as Q1 2022 continued the more and more Ryzen's were seen to the point it seems most if not all MY LR at this point are Ryzen. MYP, however, I recently read that...

    Is now a good time to buy a model Y performance?

    I think we're probably at least minimum a year away from seeing LR and Performance Model Y's with 4680 cells, but who knows. Now is probably as good a time as any, as gas prices continue to surge throughout the summer months EV demand is only going to be that much greater causing longer wait...

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Just know even when you do have your delivery date, Tesla could delay it due to unforeseen circumstances. I had it happen with my Model 3 last August. Delivery date was scheduled, but was pushed back a few days literally the day before delivery day due to some sort of transport delay.

    Accepted Delivery of MYP 22' this weekend. Your thoughts on the fit and finish?

    I know you don't mean armrests, but based on your photos I see what you're referring to. My '21 M3 has the same thing, its normal. It's almost as if the engineers thought that part would be covered by the door when looking from the outside but were off. It used to drive me crazy because I notice...

    Yes, I have my other ICE vehicle on my Tesla Insurance policy as well. It's a higher rate than the Tesla, however, since driving behavior isn't monitored.

    Add me to the list of those getting dinged for phantom FCW. I have Tesla Insurance, so the random FCW I get dinged for affect my monthly premium.

    Closing Model Y doors

    That seems awkward to pull out the handle while closing it, almost like an extra unnecessary step. I remember that being a feature of cars from the 90's to close a door and keep it locked after closing (versus automatically unlocking when closing to prevent accidental key lock in).

    Maybe its a little different for me since I already have Tesla Insurance, but I see where you're pointing to under Delivery Tasks.

    Unless something has changed I don't believe you can get a quote through the Tesla app. I had to log into my Tesla account on a computer to get a quote. Tesla Insurance is also a different phone number than regular Tesla Support.

    I've read different things, but generally this is normal with a MY. Most say it will get better over time, while others scheduled service appointments and say they were fine after that.

    Did you make a mistake with installing rear mud flaps? I did it until seller send me the instruction.

    There's no way the rear mud flaps are supposed to be installed in front of the rear wheel. That would make no sense as gravel kicks to the rear, not the front of the tire. Any Model Y mud flap product you find on Amazon clearly shows pictures of the rear mud flaps installed behind the rear...
