I agree that FSD on city streets is far too fussy and is annoying to me and to other drivers. But on highways, it works pretty well. BTW you can adjust to the following distance in the settings, you chose Chill, Average, or Aggressive. I have EAP and I don't think FSD is worth the $$$ just to...

I have been using FSD since April 1, free trial. It works very well on freeways, a fair amount of improvement over EAP. Phantom braking = 0, Lane changing is much better than EAP. Merging in busy traffic is also much better than EAP, but still on the dicy side. The changing speed limits is...

Very good video. How do you expect the Cybertruck will do on your costs for delivery compared to your conventional delivery vehicle(s). And what portion of your deliveries do think you can accommodate the the Cybertruck?

Interesting, I have tried FSD since the trial arrived. And it was noticeable that I had had no phantom braking events. That seems to be an improvement over EAP, but the test time has been limited. I have been impressed by FSD 's ability to change lanes gracefully as needed. I have always...

The software to implement the auto parking was released a few weeks ago, and in my MY it seems to be working. Tried it once for parallel parking (curbside) and for pull-in parking (supermarket lot). The only issue is that in the parking lot it always backs in, Not too useful to put the...

On my MY this software installed FSD, replacing EAP. I have been testing FSD and it is too timid and for me not worth the cost to upgrade. I assume that at the end of the 30 day trial, I will revert back to EAP.

That is all any of us have so far! But I read that a new software V2.11 will include parallel parking, I hope it is true.

It looks like the glass has the same part number as the original, which indicates that Teslas considers them to be fully interchangeable. In addition, the DOT certifications on the labels appear the be identical. I think Tesla's assertion that the difference you observe is due to a different...

The stupid auto-wipers are my second biggest complaint about my Model y. Wish the promised fix would come soon.

The song is getting old, I have been waiting since Feb 2023...nothing at all! The features worked very very well in our 2018 model 3, but the improved system is still missing! I would like to get my $$$ back.

I think that the high used Teslas prices were due the the new car waiting lists that Tesla had, scarcity of used inventory as well as the higher prices that Tesla maintained. Lately, all three of these factors have begun to change. The wait time has decreased, because of the higher...

When I check Amazon, it shows several (more than ten) chains and traction devices for my 2023 Model Y. Do you have your car defined on the Amazon automotive system? I did not check all the options but it reports 150 choices. I should think that one of the options on the first page would suit/

If you just need to rotate tires from time to time you might want a less elegant and less expensive solution. See "Powerbuilt 2 Ton UniJack Combination Hydraulic Bottle Jack / Jackstand in 1 Unit, Compact, Portable, Wide Base, for Unibody Sedans, CUVs, SUVs, Cars, - 620470" currently $66 at...

That's true, but for me, the annual fee is worth the price. HOwever I should have mentioned it in post.

You might want to look into the MYQ option. I had Homelink built into my Model 3 but when I got the Model Y if of course did not include Homelink. The retrofit seemed expensive so I looked into MyQ. It is included in the car and it has several advantages. First, it knows if the door is open...

From the owner's manual; "Fog Lights - A separate control is available to turn on fog lights (if equipped). When on, fog lights operate whenever low beam headlights are on. When headlights are turned off, fog lights also turn off."

It is just possible that the vibrations were a result of antilock brakes. The software is likely set to add braking when regen is limited, and very cold temperatures cause regen to be very limited. As you, " let off the accelerator to go down a steep hill", the brakes would applied by the...

I don't have a roof rack for my M-Y but all are noisy I have used many roof racks on several cars and SUVs. I have tried a lot of racks, OEM Toyota, Yakima, and no brand, they all create wind noise. As result I remove them when not in use, and live with them when carrying skis or bikes.

Still have the factory tires on the M-Y but I had cross climate on my M-3, and they seemed to be wearing pretty well, the noise was better than the factory tires (the cross climates did not have foam cores), and the wh/m went up to about 255 from 250, very modest impact. All in all I thought...

The charging pad works well on my 2023 Model Y LR. Works with Samsung and IPhones. The location is ok, only issue is that I often forget to pick it up when I exit the car, hard to blame that on the location though.

You don't need to engage autosteer if you don't like it or don't trust it.

This is what displays with "parking assist" in my driveway. The bushes and trees appear as these indistinct images. But it works ok in parking lots.

The poorly operating windshield wipers have been my biggest long-term issue with Tesla. First, on my Model 3, they were nearly useless. Now on my Model Y LR, they are worse. Often they turn on while driving into the sun without a cloud in the sky! And if the car is in auto drive the...

My 2023 Model-Y LR sometimes fails to show the cameras when I shift to reverse. When this occurs the blank screen seems to persist for 20 to 30 seconds. The images finally appear, at about the same time whether I just wait or back out of the garage. It only seems to happen in the garage but...

With the sunshade on one side, it can be moved toward the rear to put it in a better position to block the sun. Sometimes when the sun is coming through from the front but to the right I use this slide function to improve the coverage. I think the ability to move the shade along the shaft is...

I often use the Costco tire inflation station in both my Model Y and Model 3. I have never had significant difficulty with them. Maybe the attachments are different with the ones that you used.

I like the touchscreen control. it is as easy to use as the controls on my Toyota Highlander. The controls on the highlander are not intuitive at all. After you learn the screen controls they are easy enough to use, and many times I use voice instead. I vote for the touch screen over dash...

The car slowing abruptly when passing a truck can be a real pain. It happens (I believe) when there is a significant speed difference between you and the truck you are passing. When I see a trail of chevrons, behind the truck, I know that my car will adjust the speed, so I am prepared to use...

You might prefer to use the charging option, "ready to leave at (time)". That will ensure that the car is fully up to your setting just before you depart. And the charge will start when it needs too.

I fitted the CrossClimats tires to my model 3, they are very good and we think quieter than the stock tires even with the foam core. There seems to be no logical reason to believe the warranty issue. The only difference is the foam core and that has nothing to do with anything mechanical...

On my Model 3, the car issued a warning about the 12vold battery, set up a mobile service and the tech replaced the battery under warranty. Never had any failure related the aged battery.

My MY has this same issue. The wipers turn from OFF to AUTO as soon I engage any of the automatic driving modes. Sometimes they seem to switch to AUTO completely on their own. The annoying activations occur most often when driving into the sun or when the sun is very bright. This has been an...

You can use the screen to fold the mirror, but it is also easy to have the mirrors auto fold when you are at "home".

Here are the relevant dimensions from the owner's manual. With the mirrors folded the car is 77.9" wide. So you should six inches more or less on each side. Should be a cinch to get through the door.

What happened to cause this damage?

I don't have FSD but several years with EAP and I often use EAP in stop-and-go traffic, It works very well and really reduces the stress of being stuck. If you don't think it stops early enough, you can increase the following distance using the right-hand scroll wheel. Adjusting the Following...

Looks pretty bad. You should have it checked by a reliable tire shop. pronto./

That has been my experience with Tunein. I have used it on computers, teslas, and my phone. It never works well.

I agree. The magnetic catch is an improvement. They are easier to use than clip style in my other cars.

My Y with HW4, works fine in this regard.

A quick search reports more than a dozen Tesla Authorized Body shops within 30 mi of downtown WDC. It seems unlikely that you would choose to use a shop 150 miles away. My experience with two body shop trips one for a M3 and one for MY, both resulted in very good service and excellent customer...

Any air pump with a tire fitting will work. But the ones at Costco stores that have automatic shut off once the set pressure is reached are very easy to use and in our area usually no waiting.

I always try to use the phone app to start the AC a few minutes before I will be returning the car. It works very well and uses very little battery. The heat pump system in my Model YLR is certainly slower to start cooling than the conventional system in Model 3. But with a 5-minute head...

#1, I had a 2018 M3 that I replaced with a 2023 MY LR. I don't think there is a perceivable difference in how the car tracks. The suggestions to check tire pressure and alignment seem like the fight approach. Or perhaps some other issue with the steering or the front suspension. The larger...

The Model Y wheels are more difficult to use than the wheels on our Model 3. The surface seems to be less tacky on the MY, or the wheels require more force and that causes my fingers to slip. It is annoying but we have gotten used to it.

You could also consider using the built-in MyQ option. I added a MYQ adapter (~$30 on Amazon) and linked to the new model Y. It was much less expensive than Homelink and it adds many features. i.e., Because MYQ knows the door's state (open/close) no more spontaneous closures, also it is...

The Model Y rear hatch, with the factory setting, opens somewhat higher than any SUV I have owned before. I had to adjust mine lower and raise the upper limit on my garage door to allow clearance. The high default setting may be causing the problem.

I was planning to add HomeLink to my MY, but when I looked into it I found that the MY Q option was less expensive and more functional. I needed an MY-Q adapter ($30) from Amazon, which took less than 1/2 hour to install and set up. (my garage door opener (Liftmaster 15 years old) supported...

My Model 4 and my Model Y, insurance cost including a $1K deductible collision and $100 deductible comprehensive are comparable to my Toyota Highlander. That is with State Farm in California.

Just bought a 2023 MY LR, w/enhance autopilot, it replaced a 2018 M3 Mid Range, w/enhanced autopilot. We wanted more room and a longer range, It fills those needs very well. The MY ride is a bit firmer than M3, but really more to my liking. The upgraded computer is helpful, no waiting for...
