    Official Foundation Series Dual Motor Waiting room

    Great to hear a lot of you getting VIN numbers and deliveries. But how long are you waiting after paying the thousand dollar deposit and configuring and securing financing to get your VIN? & VIN to delivery/payment?

    wheel bearings? noise? and aftermarket wheels

    Thanks, but if the bearings are indeeed are part of the 50,000 mile warranty it sounds like the replacement will be on my dime anyway? why even bother to change the wheels back in that case?

    wheel bearings? noise? and aftermarket wheels

    I have a 2020 MY Performance, after tearing through three sets of tires in the first 60,000 miles and then learning that the Michelliin "tire mileage warranty" could not be honored as the tires could not be rotated because they were different sizes. I gave up and bought after market rims in Aug...

    FSD Beta 5-strike strike-out auto-reset after 2 weeks

    BUMP - after using various version of v10.69.? I finally rec'd 11.3.4 last week now I've seen 2 cabin camera strikes saying I ignored "pay attention to the road" warnings in the last week or so about 2,000 miles....I had one strike previously, obviously I didn't see the warnings or I would have...

    Seat Material

    My MY rear passenger seat now has a 1.5" tear....I logged the issue with Tesla's Service team and they estimated / suggested $825 to replace the entire seat...I also took the car to a local automotive reupholstery shop and he said he could fix it for about $200....but he couldn't easily match...

    All weather protection kit

    I noted the same mess on my rear door 18 months and about the same 25k miles this past summer....after some pretty difficult discussions the SC agreed to fix under warranty (my front and rear door panels were horribly aligned) they painted (touched up) and applied the PPF...the new code worked...

    Tires: Model Y Performance with 21" Ubertines

    Funny you ask now...I just replaced the rears a week ago. Michelin gave me a 50% discount on the tires, but Belle Tire charged for installation and resold me the Road Hazard Protection plan, so the two rears installed cost me $410. I'd probably do the same again The confusing part is my Y is...

    Safety Score - Probably Will Fail!

    I guess I have found the data interesting, I always thought I blasted through MY tires due to aggressive acceleration but the scoring dings me for Aggressive Turning....I guess I need to slow down a bit more in the corners :mad::mad::mad:

    Tires: Model Y Performance with 21" Ubertines

    Bahhhh, so after driving on the new Michilen's for 7 months and about 13k miles the rear tires are nearly down to the wear bars! Nearly all highway driving on my daily 90 mile commute If the fronts were nearly equal I would blame my Sport mode acceleration and lead foot.....but with AWD I sure...

    Tires: Model Y Performance with 21" Ubertines

    Thanks, your reply was among the most helpful but TBH "someone from Michigan" has driven all seasons for 38 yrs and they did great with AWD BMWs and Subarus.....I've never bought a "summer tire" in the past and of course did sort of figure I'd be buying new tires...the hesitation was that I can...

    Tires: Model Y Performance with 21" Ubertines

    So I was excited to pickup my M Y Perf in June...love the torque....had a lot of fun pinning passengers heads against that headrest. BUT, I noted with the first light snow that I was sliding a LOT more than I enjoyed or was accustomed from my Model 3 and several AWD 3 series BMWs. So I finally...

    Model Y Performance In The Snow

    Summer tires need to go for sure...but also check your tread depth, I received my M Y Performance in June, and couldn't believe how little tread was left after 10,800 miles they were showing the wear bars...so now I need new tires...just finding them is a giant pain as TireRack only has summer...

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    MY frunk sensor just failed with the same warning. I cannot reset it at all. I have a mobile ranger appt on 12/10 but wondered if there was a way to get my cruise control back in the meantime?

    Model Y AWD Performance Range

    I picked up my Model Y (second Tesla) on Friday 6/26. I was expecting 300+ miles of range on a "full charge"....the website still suggests 315 miles of range for this car. When I picked up the car I was surprised that the "estimated range" at full battery capacity is only 280 miles @ 100%...

    HW3 Mobile

    Well the warm 35 degree weather kept the snow to a minimum on the roads. This morning I fully charged from Lansing to work in Jackson then off to Toledo for the swap. Took about 2 hours to swap the HW at the Toledo SC, but I probably wouldn't have made it back to Lansing without a quick charge...

    HW3 Mobile

    Has anyone heard of the HW2.5 upgrade to HW3 being done by the mobile rangers? I'm about 120 miles from the out of state Service Center and might wait for a mobile appt if possible?
  23. D

    Anyone got HW3 retrofit yet?

    I have to disagree with you here. But first comparing your Tesla to a PacMan game from 1980 is a stretch. I would suggest that the HW of all computers will have a dramatic effect on frame rates when older computers run modern games they will stutter, skip and lower the resolution. Modern games...

    Capital Raise per Elon

    So last week I managed to close out a large portion of my TSLA holdings around $800/share, as I thought the recent climb was too steep to hold.... so now I'm looking to add back on a dip and thought today's news capital raise might provide that dip.....but damn, a short modest dip and now up 2%...

    Standard connectivity & phone app

    I passed on the premium connectivity upgrade as I figured I can use my cell phone for most of those "premium" features EXCEPT: I lost the "premium connectivity" trial this weekend and as of today it appears the Tesla app no longer connects to my car via cellular signal? This seems to mean I...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Not true at all, Tesla setup the car to do what it could at the time, they have now found ways to make it faster. Do you really think they wouldn't have ever wanted to sell the same car with slower specs? and that they had a "grand conspiracy" to wait two years to unveil the better performance...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I charge about every other day to 80%. Usually at a ChargePoint charger near my office. Almost never a Supercharger. I rarely try to run to a low SOC but it does not get the "rated range" of 310 or 280 miles (mostly due to highway 75mph speeds, a bit due to cold weather). I live in Michigan and...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Similar to most of the prior posts I started with a Model 3 LR AWD and 310 miles of rated range about 12 months ago. Now with 20k miles on the odometer my rated range is down to about 280. I opened a ticket with Tesla in September to complain. They told me to "cycle" the battery as others here...

    Shorting Oil, Hedging Tesla

    I've had my Model 3 since last November. Loved the car so much I finally bought into TSLA shares in June and it's been a wild ride to say the least. Recently I was thrilled to be ahead so much since 9/5 and last week. But as I learned of the bombing and oil price increases this weekend I...

    "Tesla": The word that will get you a better Mercedes lease.

    LOL, I'm glad you drove it...funny how that accelerator pedal can be so damn convincing. I still get a huge thrill letting gearheads drive my car. IMHO it is the most "fun to drive" around town, and the most "ease to drive" with Navigate on Autopilot. I've had 3 BMW 328s and like the others I...

    I'm confused about the ability to start the heat and seat heaters from the Tesla App. Sometimes when I pre-condition (heat) the car the heat turns on with no seat heaters, sometimes it defaults to the first (low) setting on all 5 seat heaters, and sometimes it defaults to the second (medium)...
