I don't expect that the Model Y will get HW4 until it's refresh next year.

I have owned a 2022 model y for 14 months. Never experienced phantom braking. In use autopilot + autosteer on freeways in California all the time.

I think phantom braking is now more or less a non-issue. When they first made the switch to vision-only, there were some growing pains and it seemed that phantom braking had gotten worse. I had phantom braking in certain places when I first got my car... but over the past year or so, I haven't had any instances of phantom braking nor have I really been hearing any complaints either. I no longer get any phantom braking at all, including those places where I used to get it regularly. In fact, I completely forgot this was a thing until reading this thread today.
Bolt. Burned down a garage in my neighborhood. They took it off the market for what, 2 years to fix the problems and it's still burning down garages.

Phantom braking is definitely not a non-issue now. Still happens constantly, especially if there are no other cars within vision distance and there is a hill or even slight down grade ahead.
I don't have any issue with either uphill or downhill or no car or a lot of cars around.
Long time lurker and first time poster here. I bought a 2023 MY last month and it’s the first new car (and expensive car) I’ve ever purchased.
I feel nothing but disappointment.
Customer service has been non existent from the time I tried booking my car pick up and they kept moving it and not responding to me.
Then my car had wind coming through the dash in the first week so they kept my car for 6 days and gave me Uber credits. The credits were not usable since I live ~1 hour from my job and the service center.
They replaced my windshield as it wasn’t fitted and tried to charge me for it. They ordered a new dash cover and it won’t arrive for two months so there’s another appointment.
Now, I hear a rattle underneath my center console and it’s nonstop. It makes driving miserable. There are no appointments for two weeks. And even then, I cannot leave my car without a loaner which they’ve told me is unlikely they’ll have.
I’ve already spent so much on this experience but I feel like I’ve had enough. I can’t even enjoy this supposedly luxury car. I’ve reached out to Carvana to sell it. I’m sure I’m overreacting but I don’t feel good about this at all. I’m just sharing my experience and feelings. Now I just live with anxiety of finding something else wrong and how long they’ll keep my car at the shop again.
Anybody gone through something similar?Thanks for lending an ear.

hey there! I also own a 2015 MS (70D). I'm in San Diego currently, but I may be moving to Boston by the end of the year. I'm concerned that the 70D with only 155-175 miles of real world range at SoC 90% will be able to survive the Boston winters (I most likely won't have a garage). It would be great to hear your opinion on if you think it could survive in Boston.. thanks in advance!

It is normal for a price to be part of your appointment as that's Tesla's way. As soon as it goes in and is fixed under waranty, you won't be charged. And it does take time for parts. If the rattle is easily repeated they can diagnose it. Do a search on TMC and you may find some info about rattles. If that's all there is, then you're almost done with the bad. So, there must be some things that give joy. If not, then selling to Carvana is a good choice, you won't loose much
Welcome to Boston, although it's going to be tough for you to adjust to our long winters! Especially for parking. It's already very difficult to find consistent street parking, but in the winter when the snow piles up, forget about it. It would be worth while renting a monthly garage parking to protect your 70D.
For range concerns, we have superchargers scattered throughout the city. However, most of them are in PAID parking garages and they are urban chargers so they peak around 75kw. We have a brand new 250kw supercharger in Somerville, MA, about 15-20 minutes from downtown Boston. But that charger is SUPER SUPER busy all the time. You'll want to also seek level 2 chargers around your area using the plugshare website/app. Frankly, I tell my friends, unless you can charge at home or at your work, owning an EV has the potential to be a royal PIA with charging. But I still LOVE my 2015 Model S!
The potholes suck here big time. Boston is just not a car friendly place, with its narrow streets that are one ways and have no organized grid system.
In fact, I recently purchased an electric scooter and keep it in my Model S trunk. I park at a large lot, and take the subway into downtown. Then I scoot around the city to get to places. So much better than driving through the city itself.
Thanks! And thanks for this very nice reply
Appreciate the advice about renting a garage spot. The range concern is more of a frequency of charging concern -- if I'm not able to plug in my MS overnight, will there be significant phantom drain during winter temps that would require charging it every 48 hours or so? Cause that sounds like more of a hassle then it'd be worth :/ I think at least I may be able to charge at work tho. I love my 2015 MS too! Which is why I'm trying to figure out how to keep it short of getting the 057 100kWh upgrade haha. Ooh the trunk scooter does sound like a pro move!No problem! Here's what I would do in your situation. From November until say April 1st, charge the Tesla to 90% at a minimum once a week. Then for the rest of the year, charge to 80% at a minimum once a week. The phantom drain/preheating over the winter will cost you 10-20%. Hopefully, 140-150 miles of range during the winter season will be enough for your needs.Thanks! And thanks for this very nice reply
And yes, I would highly recommend you get an escooter. Then you can find a Level 2 charger somewhere in the city, park, and scoot back to your house. I've done that myself when I am traveling and don't have a charger nearby.
Finally, keep in mind that charging to 100% is perfectly fine as long as you schedule the Tesla to trickle charge right until the time you plan to leave. That way you prevent the battery from sitting at the high state for a long period of time.
I have a 23MYP and love it. So far not problems. Haven't had any phantom braking issues. Have had a 1 or 2 since the vision first came out on the MS Plaid though. Haven't had any lately. Both cars have been spectacular. YMMV.
