I have a 50A GFCI Breaker and a Junction Box with some #6 NMB Wires capped off (Black, White, Red, Bare Copper Ground). I plan to remove the junction box and mount the Wall Charger exactly where the wires are coming in and feed them through here. Now, I assume up until I get all the wires...

I wanted to ask if it’s normal for the Faceplate on the 3rd Gen Wall Charger to slightly move/wiggle a little when pushing and pulling on the top? Can anyone check theirs and confirm if the top part slightly moves when pushing in and pulling out like mine does?

I’m trying to get a better understanding of this installation and I believe the manual calls for #6 wire…which can be on a 60A Breaker and chargers at 48A. But, if it’s on a 50A Breaker, charging at 40A, would #8 THHN be up to code...

Where do the coolant lines run on the sides of the Model Y? For example, from the jack lift points…are they towards the inside (middle of the car) under the solid battery cover? Or are they towards the sides (towards the exterior of the car) under the plastic side rail panels? I saw this video...

I have a Legrand NEMA 14-50 Outlet and an Electrify America HomeStation. I have a 50A GFCI Breaker and the charger runs at 40A max. The operating temperature of the charger says up to 122° F and while it says it shouldn’t be on a GFCI Breaker, I have to have that in my garage due to code and...

I have a few questions in regards to the vents under the driver and passenger seat… 1. Does anyone know what they are for? Is it to blow out air? Or is it for the air return? 2. I tried turning on the air and heat and couldn’t feel anything coming out. Is that normal? Is there a specific...

I went to schedule a service for my Y for an exterior trim adjustment and saw there was an alert. This is what showed. I went into the vehicle and it says there are no active alerts. For experimental purposes, I went to our other Y and went to schedule service. I see there are two alerts...

I have two Model Y’s…both are 2023 LR AWD. One is an Austin build and the other is a Fremont build. I noticed under the lift points on the Austin build, there’s these little dent/scratch/imperfections under the lift points. The Fremont build does not have these. I’m wondering if this...

Will using this lift puck damage my Model Y? This is the Basenor puck on Amazon and says it’s rated for the Y…but it’s too long. I didn’t try to lift it, but I did try pushing it in before I realized it was too long. Should I be worried about causing any damage from trying to push it in by hand?

I have a Model Y that was built in Dec 2023 and some wet stuff got inside this area during the tint job. I watched this video, but read that the rear view camera may be different to remove on my Y. Has anyone cleaned the glass in this camera module area? Any tips or tricks?

I noticed two tiny little scratches on the passenger side window of my Tesla Model Y. When running my finger nail over the area I can barely feel the slightest scratch. When wiping it with water the scratch disappears for a second, then reappears. The side window glass is slightly stained...

I want to get my Y tinted. From what I’m reading, 20% on the front windows is what most recommend. What should be installed on the windshield, hatch and back windows? I want the side windows to all match, but want visibility for the windshield and hatch. Any advice from others who have had...

I just had my dad in my Tesla Model Y and he was checking it out (he may buy one for himself) and when he got inside he sort of pushed down on the steering wheel to boost himself up inside. He’s 175lbs and nothing looks damaged, but he did push down on the steering wheel harder than I would...

I am installing vent covers under my Model Y and I had 2 questions. 1. How is the little carpet supposed to be tucked near the vent? 2. What are these wires and red plastic clip? Are they high voltage?

I have an order that I’ll be picking up within the week once the $7,500 Point of Sale EV Tax credit stuff is resolved. I applied for financing through Tesla and was approved…but it looks like I’d be financing with Santander? Anyways, I was going to put $30K down and financing the rest. With...

I checked out my Model Y today since my delivery got delayed and it looks pretty solid and perfect. My only “concern” is there’s a section of glass on the trunk glass that sticks up slightly higher than the roof glass. This picture is standing from behind the vehicle showing how a section of...

I have this Tesla Wall Connector and I’m wondering if I can take the faceplate off and swap it with the Tesla Universal Wall Connector? It looks like they sell this separately for the 3rd Gen Wall Connector which is what I already have…but it’s unclear if it works with the Universal Wall...

Per the wiring instructions, from left to right it shows green, red, black. It’s clear that the ground wire goes to the far left side. Does it matter where the red wire goes and where the black wire goes? What if they were swapped? The reason I ask is my electrician did it with two black...

Any idea why my Tesla 3rd Gen Wall Charger started flashing red when I turned it on? I flipped the breaker off and back on and then everything was working fine? Here’s a video of it turning on properly. Has anyone else ever had this happen where it was flashing red (one flash) repeatedly...

When I built my home I had the builder install a 50A GFCI Breaker and wiring to the outside for a Gen 3 Tesla Charger. Here’s a picture of the box and where I want the Tesla charger mounted. I opened the box and noticed it was a bit wet inside (sprinkler was hitting it, I fixed that) and...

How does Tesla’s trade in value work? I just got an estimate on my Ioniq 5 and it ranges from $42K to $46K. I’d put an order on a Y and see what the final offer is, but they’re charging a $250 non refundable fee. What happens if they don’t honor their trade in value/range? Just wondering how...

Can anyone measure how wide the rear seat car matches are for child seats? I know they’re tucked under the seat a bit, but I’m just wondering if anyone could measure how wide they are. Thanks!

This may sound strange, but other than having to lower myself to get into the 3, I’m more comfortable sitting lower to the ground. I know the Y is higher up, which is easier to get into, but I’m not a fan of sitting so high and upright. Does anyone know the height difference in the drivers...

Is it true that they Y is 2 inches smaller in the back row width than the 3? I was about to pull the trigger on a Y until I realized the width of the back row was smaller. Please tell me I’m wrong...

I own a Model 3 and noticed some type of blue liquid dripping near the back tire on the drivers side. Attached are a few pictures. I just got back from the car wash so I assume it’s water/soap but I’m wondering if there’s any chance of another type of “leak” in that area or if it would only...

Is it possible to damage the doors (hinge area) on a Model 3 by trying to open them past the limit? For example, I had a family member attempt to “swing” it open and I heard a loud click/crack noise but everything is opening and closing fine. Replicated the test, you can hear the crack in one...

Current Model 3 owner and I absolutely love AutoPilot, it serves 90% of my needs. While I would like FSD, I personally don’t believe it’s worth $7K with its current features and I don’t think it will make the greatest strides in 2 years since city driving is going to be a nightmare due to city...

Dang...today I finally effed up and curbed out my aero rim while parking (low speed). Here are some pictures. How easy is this to fix or replace? Do you think I damaged the tire?

I noticed a crease by my passenger seat that looks like two combining into a bigger one (Picture 1). On the drivers side, there’s only one crease (Picture 2). Is the passenger side normal? Or does that crease look like something got caught?

I have to say, I have never been in "aww" over any of my vehicles, ever. I've owned a Ford Ranger, Volkswagen Jetta and Ford F-150...that "new car" feeling goes away after a month or so...but not the Tesla! Here are two of my favorite pictures (so far) of this awesome vehicle :cool:

Based on Tesla’s online blog, I inquired about downgrading my SR+ to an SR. The rep didn’t really have an answer and I was transferred to a supervisor who started communicating to me via email. She said she could “submit” it for me to downgrade and would get back to me once she got more...

Question...I had a repair at the service center today where they opened up my Frunk. I noticed the plastic piece inside near the edges (where it meets the vehicle) has a bit of a gap...see Picture 1. It is completely clipped in and seated correctly...but even with the frunk closed...if looking...

Has anyone successfully “downgraded” their SR+ to an SR for purchases before the blog post was made? In their post it says “Similarly, anyone who has already bought Standard Plus and wants to convert to Standard is welcome to do so, and we will provide a refund for the difference in cost.” At...

I had my charger port replaced a few weeks ago because it would not completely unlock. I’m going on a trip this week and I was reading a bunch of stuff to double check before leaving. For example, I checked the manual door open on the driver/passenger side (they both work). I went to test...

I just took delivery of my Tesla 4 weeks ago. I didn’t buy AutoPilot but was given the trial for 30 days. After using it for a week I purchased AutoPilot at the “discounted” price of $3,500...as it was set to increase to $4,000 on April 15th. Today, the same AutoPilot upgrade would have...

1) I popped open the frunk plastic piece today because I noticed this sticker (in Picture 1 and 2). It wasn’t showing when I got my vehicle, but after a visit to the service center it’s now sticking out. Is that okay to leave it out? 2) I popped off the plastic piece and looked inside the...

It appears to be a spacer of some sort in the fronk (when you pop off the plastic piece near the top). It broke...nothing serious, but I want to replace it if possible.

What is my course of action after finding that the service center scratched my vehicle in multiple places? It’s only 3 weeks old and the charging port was broken...after they replaced it I found many minor scratches and chips. At this point, I don’t want them tearing my vehicle apart but I...

What is this little piece of “tin foil” doing here? Is it okay to just cut it off with an little box cutter knife or just pull it out?

I removed one of the C Pillars (on the back passenger seat) and I’m wondering if I clip is missing in this area. I’ve attached a picture of the area I’m referring to. I assume it’s a clip that looks like the picture attached. Can anyone pop theirs off and take a look and let me know if I’m...

I had my vehicle tinted (it looks great) but I noticed some water leaked behind the back center brake light. They said it would dry and go away...but it appears one area stayed present. I attached a picture. Should I try and dry this or should I ask the service center when I go to get...

I took delivery of my SR+ last week and it’s an absolute blast! I have some questions about the battery and best charging practices. 1) I charge it to 85% every night...I’ve read that between 80-90% are best. Correct me if I’m wrong. 2) When I first charged it to 85% the estimated mileage...

Hello there! I just got my Model 3 last week and I absolutely love it. I did notice there appears to be a small gap between the weatherstripping between the roof and back glass (on the drivers side). I’ve attached two pictures showing the small gap. The passenger side appears to be perfect...

Does it matter that the back roof isn’t 100% the same spacing? - Left Side of Roof (Smaller) - 1st Picture - Right Side of Roof (Bigger) - 2nd Picture And that brings me to my question, look how the plastic piece overlaps on the left side, but there’s a little spacing on the right side...

I plan on tinting my Model 3, but I’m unsure of what I want to do. I got the Tesla Shade for the roof, so I won’t be tinting the roof. I’ve been looking at the Xpel Prime XR Plus ceramic. I’m definitely doing the 4 side windows and rear window...but I’m unsure of how dark I want to go. I...

Hi Guys! Longtime lurker, first time poster since I just purchased and received my SR+ yesterday! Everything about the car is great... But, I went to charge it for the first time last night and it was very difficult to push the charger in (but not impossible). When I go to take the charger...
