    Supercharger - Detroit, MI

    Nice! Hope this reduces the congestion at this location, although I fear it might get worse with non-Tesla users getting the green light to start using them. Lots of Ford EVs in this area. Do the cords look long enough for non-Tesla vehicles? The picture looks like they are short...

    Creaking sound from drivers side door hinge

    There is none on my car, which, by the way, I have sold. I did have the upper hinge replaced and that fixed it however...

    Help: Wiring a harness for a trailer

    It has been years since I did it but it is on the passenger side in a cable bundle and is a larger wire compared to the rest. Sorry, but I don't remember the color but it should be obvious. Just remove the carpet/cover on that side, follow the wire down from the power strut and tap in where you...

    Larger Mud Flaps

    The only issue is mounting - would prefer something designed for the MY. Was going to check with WeatherTech and ask them about their product. Thank you for the suggestion.

    Larger Mud Flaps

    Oh wow - yes pricey, and really large. Its like going from a XS to a XXXL. This is a little too big in my view. But thank you for info

    Larger Mud Flaps

    Has anyone found mudflaps for the Model Y that are a little bit larger in size then the ones Tesla puts on the front wheels in northern states? They are pretty flimsy and too small which still lets mud and slush spray on the sides. I know you want to keep them to a minimal size so as not to...

    Sold 2016 (UNICORN) Tesla Model S 75D AWD with WARRANTY

    It was actually later than Jan 2017 - had to do with when you placed your order. Some folks who ordered in late 2016 had their orders delayed and even though they didn't get their car until as late as March or April, they were still 'SC01'ed'. But they weren't many for sure. I spent the better...

    Sold 2016 (UNICORN) Tesla Model S 75D AWD with WARRANTY

    I thought it indicated it had the 'new' computer and cameras for FSD, since it came out so late in 2016. There were early 2017s with SC01 FUSC but I only have seen 2016s listed as unicorns.

    For sale 2016 (UNICORN) Tesla Model S 75D AWD with WARRANTY

    Up for sale is a December 2016 build Tesla Model S 75D in very good condition. Some call this a "UNICORN", as it was equipped with the then-newest HW2 computer, 8 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors and front facing radar for the “soon to be available” Full Self Drive (FSD) software package and was...

    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    With the 'bestest' offer to date, I decided to pull the plug and bought an inventory MYLR in February and had them transfer both FSD and unlimited SuC from my unicorn 2016 MS. I figured if I did that MAYBE, as one of the earliest adopters (Dec 13, 2016), I might see my original investment on FSD...

    Tesla Model Y 2023 - Missing spare CANBUS/OBD plug near A pillar - No more aftermarket gadgets?

    Update - I found one behind the passenger side kick panel/A pillar where I connected my Satonic HUD to, but I ALSO pulled off the rear cover on the center console and found one there too. There was nothing in the center console, drivers side behind the carpet covering it. I never looked on the...

    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    Tesla did (still does?) weird things with pricing, including FSD. You first had to pay for stuff like AP, heated steering wheel, heated seats, then they gave as part of the package, then on some models took stuff away, etc. All I know is that us "earliest adopters" (and that is what this post...

    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    Nice chart, but not directly relevant to what I posted. If you didn't read it, the original price in mid-NOVEMBER 2016 was $3K for the FSD add-on, on top of the $5K for EAP which was required to then add FSD. Your chart starts with 2019. Here is a snip-it from my Tesla OEM window sticker:

    How much will you give me for it??? :)

    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    It wasn't $3K, it was $8K - you had to pay for BOTH EAP ($5K) and then FSD ($3K). I can show you on my Monterey Window sticker from my 12/2016 MS. Today, the FSD prices doesn't require you to buy both. Still, it has gone up $5K since it was first 'sold'. And I am still waiting...

    CarThree 8” Heads-Up Display with CarPlay and AA

    Now that is really odd - CarThree vs THREECAR. Ha ha. Does it show CarThree on the front of your unit or only when it starts up? This might be a knockoff then. I might wait until Amazon shows them back in stock - . Can I ask how much they were?

    CarThree 8” Heads-Up Display with CarPlay and AA

    Thanks for the answers. Can I ask a couple more? Amazon no longer has it :-( It did find it on AliExpress and there are two different pictures of the UI. Does your do both of these? I am a little hesitant when I buy on their website as you sometimes don't get what is shown, that is why I am...

    CarThree 8” Heads-Up Display with CarPlay and AA

    Hi. I was hoping you would answer some questions about it. Is it bright in the daylight? One that I bought from Satonic is way too dim in bright sun to be readable, even if set to 100%. If possible, any chance of a picture during the day, outside in bright sun, catching both it and the Tesla...

    Tesla Model Y 2023 - Missing spare CANBUS/OBD plug near A pillar - No more aftermarket gadgets?

    Looking for an update to this discussion - I have a Jan 2024 Austin build MYLR and want to know where the 'data plug' is located. I have read it's in 4 different locations - center console driver side behind carpet cover, left and right A pillar footwell kick panels, and the rear console cover...

    Model Year 2024 Model Y

    I just placed an order today from inventory with a $4K discount after they confirmed it was a 2024. Austin build with a VIN ending with 2245XX. I assume you already have yours. Can you tell me how good the Austin build was? Also, does your door sticker show a Jan 2024 build date and if so, can...

    Model Year 2024 Model Y

    Absolutely. When people / car places like Carvana look at vehicle value, all that matters is the titled year, not the month it was built in. If you buy a 2023, it has already depreciated an addition year even if it was built 12/31/2023.

    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    I got a call from Tesla after doing some pricing of a new Y earlier today. I told them I was only interested in buying another Tesla if they would allow us 'old FSD' buyers to transfer BOTH FSD and unlimited SuC to a new car. Five minutes ago I got another call and he said they are going to be...

    75D battery degradation

    Wow, that sucks. When did they start offering a degradation warranty then?

    75D battery degradation

    If I remember correctly, it has to lose more than 30% of capacity, so a 75D started with 259 and 70% of that would be 181. BUT, I don't think they just go by the 'guess-o-meter' range but rather they run a battery test. You should take it to a service center to have it checked out. And IDEAL is...

    Review: Hankook iON evo AS vs Pirelli AS+ Elect vs Michelin PS 4S vs Michelin PS AS 4

    So do the Pirelli AS PE have BETTER range/charge than the OEM tires, or do you think they give up some range for the improved handling?

    2015 Model S No power to Passenger Door windows and side mirror

    An update: They replaced the drivers-side front door handle 'system' (updated from Gen1 to Gen3 with new handle and separate controller that now gets mounted to the door frame). The invoice showed no fuse or wire replacement.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    OK. But on my 2016 MS turning off the beta wipers makes the first two 'clicks' intermittent. Then the next 2 are slow and fast. Don't know what to tell you other than glad mine works as expected. Cheers.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    I agree with your two first statements but Tesla Vision is crap. Beta wipers has been 'out' for multiple years and is as useless as an ejection seat on a helicopter. Good luck on them making it work as good as USS in the next decade...

    Supercharger - Beavercreek, OH

    I'm not sure if laying it down is a good idea. Sometimes people put a plastic bag on the handle but leave it hanging so it doesn't end up in a water puddle/mud puddle/etc if it rains or snows. And did you call the 800 to let Tesla know? It is the same number for roadside assistance - you just...

    Battery and component insulation to reduce losses in cold weather

    I think your assertions are also not entirely correct. Leaving the vehicle plugged in and warming the pack before ANY trip, long or short, has benefits in cold climate. Your statement that by warming the battery prior to a long trip it will maximum range to the next supercharger is true. But...

    Battery and component insulation to reduce losses in cold weather

    The car will do what is needed to keep the battery pack at a safe temperature whether it is plugged in or not, but keeping it plugged in and setting a Scheduled Departure time will ensure the pack is warm (which I think is around 70F) and not reduce the SOC so you can get the desired range and...

    Creaking sound from drivers side door hinge

    I have a 12/2016 build MS with a creaking/cracking-sound as I open and close the front door which I traced to the upper hinge on the door. On previous cars I owned, correcting this noise was just a matter of greasing the 'spring' and the part it rubbed against on the hinge but I don't see that...

    Review: Hankook iON evo AS vs Pirelli AS+ Elect vs Michelin PS 4S vs Michelin PS AS 4

    Thank you for that information. I know the Pilot Sports are summer only and performance-based. Someone else said that he saw a 20% hit on efficiency when he went from MXM4 to the PS. If I were to use both your data, that means the Hankook would be less efficient than the MXM4. But of course, I...
