    Mountain and Winter Supercharging Issues (CA SR108 SC desert)

    There is a post about the longest gaps in miles between superchargers on interstates. This is a bit different - this is about getting over mountain passes with enough juice to make it to the other side. There are two things against the driver here: First, gravity - not so many miles, but lots...

    Minor windshield divots -Tesla Service good?

    I believe minor windshield divots and very small cracks are repaired with transparent resins. It should not be a big deal. Has anyone had this done by Tesla? What was cost/ time? Would it make sense save money to have it done 3rd party?

    Worst (and Best) superchargers (Mammoth, CA is awful)

    In the UK forum there is a forum there is a post "Worst and Best Superchargers". We might just hope that Tesla would see one for the US and occasionally act on it??? Maybe someone could make this a sticky topic? Here's my kudos and complaints in CA----------- To be fair, many SCs are very...

    Charging USB-B devices

    Use of console USB-C to charge micro-USB devices? People have gone on about getting data working on the USB-C ports; this is not about data at all, just charging my dang camera and every other little device. Here I have a freakin' UUUUUUUUge battery, and I can't charge anything with it! NOTHING...

    Seeking *comparisons* of removers (2023 Annual Bug Splat Thread)

    Dear T-heads: Our (mostly) beloved Teslas have absolutely extraordinary susceptibility to, and visibility of, bug splat. ***I've never seen any evidence that ANY bug removing method is any better than soap and water soak, followed by scrubbing with more soap and water. ***"Dryer Towel Method"...

    Which Ceramic coating for on TOP of PPF? Do they really last longer than a year?

    Hello T-heads: I had a full PPF wrap (because I scrape and park in bushes all the time) and I was told by installer and by various youtubers that one can apply ceramic coating on top of that. Now there are various ceramic coats apparently made specially for ON TOP OF ceramic coating (they call...

    Park Assist Performance Tesla Vision Only 2023.6.9 update

    Dear Teslanauts: I went away for vacation, came back and my car updated, then said something about park assist. My jaw dropped to the floor, I couldn't believe it, been waiting for this for years. Then I came home, hit the TMC, and saw ... nothing! Now today, monday, there are just...

    Route Planning and Road Closures - Tesla Fail

    Sorry if this is not the optimal place for this (moderators go ahead and re-file) but: I have some interesting test results using route planners in the case of an active road closure. Parameters: As of minutes ago, this site: https://ca-17.com/US-395#chp-incidents listed US 395 closed from...

    Navigation to no-charger destinations (i.e. backcountry), handing off external plans to navigator

    I use my T to go to backcountry destinations. If you navigate there, where there are no chargers, and arrive with 10% you'll get stuck. On my computer I can hack a trip that is there-and-back, which makes sure you can make it to destination and back to a charger, but I can' t easily do that...

    How can we afford to drive our Teslas anymore? Gas prices are so high!

    I just got my new MYLR, but I can't do any driving these days because Putin has limited oil production, driving gas prices up. So, I can no longer afford to drive my car and ... ...oh wait, I forgot, I don't need gas to drive anymore. -Heheheheheheheh. (SnarkyEmoji SnarkyEmoji...

    SF to Tahoe - EvGo Didn't at Dutch Flat

    Yesterday 1/25/23 Driver 2 stopped into EvGo charger in Dutch flat. After a long stressful attempt, the toll-free operator confirmed the charger didn't work at all, there are no others on site, so sorry you're SOL. Very very stressful. This forum has generally nice comments about EvGo and is...

    Are supercharger miles shared with second driver?

    On my app for my model y I have a loot box with my bonus free supercharger miles. However, this doesn't appear on second drivers app. When second driver supercharges, will this take miles out of my loot box, or charge second driver credit card? Is there some way we can share the free bonus...

    Why is the rear view mirror so dang dark? (2023 Model Y)

    Except in bright sunlight, I find the view out the rear view mirror to be so dark I cannot see a thing. It makes backing up really tough! IS this the same for everyone? 2023 Model Y. -TPC

    Windows opened themselves in rain storm - what to do?

    Hello All: I just picked up my model y. Went to dinner, went home, and crashed. Here in CA we are having a huge weeklong rainstorm (only one of the year, my luck). In AM I noticed some kind of alert, maybe it said "11:59 PM multiple windows open". So, I run to car and all windows are open...

    ISO Tips for Driving with Cameras (drive-by-wire?)

    I come directly from a late90's model Civic to a 2023 Model Y. No, I won't unreasonably expect Tesla to meet such a high standard (wink emoji here) but you can't see a dang thing that's not in the front half of my new Model Y. The visibility just sucks sucks sucks (yes I knew that, not looking...

    Best Model Y Full Rear Interior Heaviest-Duty Liner? (rear interior "trunk" or just interior rear liner)

    Hello All: My SO throws her bike into the back of my car, and generally trashes it. I'm looking for a heavy-duty liner that protects the seats ***and the walls*** of the interior cargo area of my soon-to-arrive Tesla Y. I'm hoping for something WITHOUT logos, heavy duty, easy to get into...

    Model Y Outdoor Cover and Sentry Mode

    Hello: There are some discussions on car covers here, but what about sentry mode? Do any of the covers come with cutouts for all the cameras so you can use sentry mode? I don't see anything about that on the Tesla.com shop site. Has anyone had any success just making their own cutouts? If...

    SF Bay Area - Wall Charger required?

    Hello All: At my test drive, the sales person said that you don't need that $500+ wall charger. If you install a 3-phase (basically a dryer plug) you get the same charge time. All your $500 gets you is internet access in your garage. She said, "you can just buy the plug". Now I contacted...

    Does tesla Y answer back, like Siri?

    Can you ask your Tesla questions using voice commands, and receive voice answers, like "what is the tire pressure", "what is remaining range?", "what time is it", or crazy stuff like, "where were you born?" I am hoping to be an owner one day, forgot to try this on test drive. Snarky responses...

    Model Y power vs. SOC and SOC vs time plots/charts?

    Does anyone have an L3 supercharger curve / tims vs. SOC for MYLR specifically? I have only seen them for M3 starting below 15% SOC. *** I would really like to see a MYLR specific SOC vs. time, as recent as possible. Gossip (Bjorn on youtube) says that this has improved lately. When I go...

    Plain Model Y customers punished AGAIN June 2022

    I ordered a Model Y (Long Range) and paid deposit Mar 4, 2022. I got the cheaper small wheels (better range), White paint, black interior (so it would be cool and not show stains so much) no tow hitch (bike rack gets in the way of trunk access) and no FSD (doesn't work anyway). In short, I...
