    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    This is about the four pin pigtail in the front for trailer brakes, but it is odd an electric car maker can't figure out how to supply an aux voltage to the 7 pin.

    I recommend having alignment checked on any new Model Y. Also - recommendations on front camber kit?

    I heard about some tire wear due to alignment on new Model Ys so had a trusted local garage that aligned my Model 3 after installing new adjustable coilovers check it. For the 3, I had to purchase adjustable front and rear camber arms from MPP. I was expecting there to be a little play on the...

    AP/FSD related crashes

    Agreed. Clear day in the middle of the day would be fine (except you don't want to go airborne from crossing a railroad track), but you have to worry about deer and farm equipment in addition to fog in the mornings and evenings around sunset. 60 would feel too fast for me.

    I'm not sure if I saw your video or not. Can you post a link here or message me with it? Thanks!

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    I see where you were misunderstanding now. That's referencing pin 4 of the 7 pin connector next to the tow hitch: My issue is with the 4 pin trailer brake controller harness next to the driver's footwell (at least in left-hand steering cars). As a side, they have instructions to access that...

    AP/FSD related crashes

    I find it so interesting how FSD behaves differently even in the same state. I drive between Norwalk and Tiffin and with Auto speed offset enabled, it drives between 53 and 55 then ramps up to 67 mph at times, which will definitely get you a speeding ticket from OSP. Regarding railroad tracks, I...

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    The frustrating thing is the nearest appointment is over 4 weeks out and it's a 1.25 hr drive for me to take it in. Mobile service was not an option (even when I requested the pigtail originally). I'm guessing then there is no easy fix to save this trip. I'll just keep using my accessory voltage...

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    I had looked in the manual prior and requested the 4 pin pigtail connector, which the service center supplied to me. 1. Where in the manual is it? It's not in the area pertaining to the attachment of the pigtail connector 2. I don't think stingy service centers are going to give away even a $2...

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    I checked the voltage with the wiring harness behind the driver side access panels and there is no voltage at the pins of the female receptacle. I had plugged in the harness pigtail and didn't get voltage. I also checked continuity of the red and black wires to the pins. Service mode showed no...

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    For what it's worth, if they had lowered the advertised range to 304 prior to purchase, would it have impacted your decision? For me the answer is no. The question is - is this actually for all Fremont and Austin cars or was there a batch of cars that had some defect resulting in a lower top...

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    Not true with regards to displayed range. My 2018 Model 3 Performance still showed the rated range 8 months after purchase at 100%. More info from Tesla's website:

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    First, I want to mention that I suspect this range mismatch with EPA is probably not an issue as N..8 has pointed out that TeslaFi models used to compare to their car and for me, the 5 models used to compare to mine, all show similar ranges. Also, I haven't seen any responses yet showing 310...

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    I supercharged once to 100% to see if it would adjust my range up and now I've lost 3 miles of range, except for the charge to 70%. That one increased my range. The mystery of the BMS....

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    It's really strange that they wouldn't ensure the BMS is calibrated to show 310 miles (EPA range) on the main mileage on delivery vehicles, leaving us to wonder if there is already something wrong with the battery. My 2018 Model 3 was 6 months old and had 4600 miles on it and still showed the...

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    So the other day I charged to 304 miles at 100% with under 300 miles on the vehicle. Today at 385 miles on my odometer, I got the Commander module hooked up and it shows a 4.24% degradation. Could this be my BMS not being well calibrated from the factory?

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    It definitely seems to be fairly common at the very least. If the stated range was 300 miles, I would've still bought it.

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    Someone on Facebook said that their Model Y LR on pickup was 288 miles at 96% at very close to the same temperature too, so it appears to be a case of the BMS like the moderator pointed out just providing an estimate. At the very least, I feel it is probably not uncommon to have that type of...

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    I switched to percentage on the 3 a long time ago. I was just expecting to confirm it was at 310 miles at 100% based on no previous drives on it. Thanks for confirming it's not unusual. I have found that with TeslaFi range (which I think basically just does what I did here), my range would...

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    I bought my Model 3 Performance with 4600 miles and 6 months of use and it was at the rated range for the first month, so this is my first time with an actual new Tesla. :D

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    Yeah, one of the reasons I went ahead and went with the LR vs the P was because I've found myself looking more to optimizing the drives and being gentle on the charges. I'll be charging to 50 or 60% until I take a road trip in late May where I'll finally let it charge to 100% right before...

    Is there a way to transfer my media settings from my Model 3 to my new Model Y?

    They are both tied to the Tesla account. The 3 offers to transfer and the Y offers to reset

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    It was charged to 96%. Following the drive home, it was at 70%, 211 miles, which also calculates to 300 miles.

    Is there a way to transfer my media settings from my Model 3 to my new Model Y?

    The sales associate told me I would be able to, but when I went into my profile, it was like a new setup and none of the settings were there. So I went through and set all the AP, security, font, etc settings up and drove home. When I got in my Model 3 and went to profiles, it had a button to...

    My brother and his wife will be picking up their Model Y lease there soon. He's in Lansing.

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    I just took delivery of my Model Y Long Range a couple hours ago and brought up with the sales associate that the max range calculates to 301 miles and not 310 miles. The outside temperature is 55F. I could swear I've never seen temperature affect the mileage vs percentage before. Did I get a...

    Do any of the pickup locations ever offer hours not in the middle of the workday and only weekdays?

    It's good to know for the next one at least. They were reluctant at first. I should've just pressed it harder earlier in the reservation process. Also stinks that there's nobody to talk to outside of the centralized phone line. The advisors are unavailable to talk with on the quarter-end deliveries.

    Do any of the pickup locations ever offer hours not in the middle of the workday and only weekdays?

    I wish that were the case. I tried doing that to get back to my Model 3 at the same SC a couple years ago with their credits and had a hard time finding one. I ended up having a friend pick me up and take me to his house. I was almost ready to start trying to hop to see if I could try to get an...

    If not, has anyone had luck getting their location to be more flexible so, for example, you don't have to ask a friend to also take PTO in order to drop you off?

    Anyone know how this stacking offers will work? I have two email offers that seem to be active now.

    Wow! My discount was $2600. I returned after seeing some people getting 10% in their area and searched again with different colors and never found one that good. Still very happy with mine, but you definitely win the (hot) cake! :)

    Tesla weatherproof mats vs third party

    I was all set to go with them then saw they have no back lip on the front mats, so if you have melted snow on the mat and drive uphill, you are going to get wet carpet according to one review. Seems like a bad design.

    Anyone know how this stacking offers will work? I have two email offers that seem to be active now.

    It was definitely a pleasant surprise to have an extra $1K taken off after already placing the order. It's also why I tell people not to just cancel the order even if they never plan to spend $80K or more on a vehicle. Heck, I'll hold onto it until my next Tesla probably. Maybe by then, I'll get...

    Power Conversion System (PCS) failure

    I charged at a destination charger just a few months before having the wall connector installed in my case. It could be a coincidence. I'll find out in about a week when I bring my new Model Y home. If the PCS fails in that shortly after install, it will be a phone call to the wall connector...

    Anyone know how this stacking offers will work? I have two email offers that seem to be active now.

    I think it stacked. I just found the Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement and it shows a $3000 credit. That was awful nice to see an extra $1000 off after placing the order. 😀

    Anyone know how this stacking offers will work? I have two email offers that seem to be active now.

    Can I expect: 1. To get $3000 discounted ($2000 from the first offer and $1000 from the second) and both offer texts said the offers could be stacked. 2. Get $2000 discounted (despite email, offer text said nothing about the $1000 referenced in the email. 3. Get $1000 discounted (second offer...

    Inventory Order Model Y, mentions it can be delivered to closer Tesla service center - no mention of cost and time

    I called and they confirmed it is actually in transit (implying that it isn't always in transit when it claims it is haha) and that it should arrive on the 23rd so I should be able to pick it up well before the deadline. Pretty sweet deal I think. Excluding the transfer of the FSD, it was...

    Inventory Order Model Y, mentions it can be delivered to closer Tesla service center - no mention of cost and time

    I see now where I was looking at it wrong. Since the spec and the pricing was the same on that car, but the pricing was different from an identical spec car at another location, I assumed it was the same car. It explains why it showed the In Transit on it. I figured it was just a website...

    Inventory Order Model Y, mentions it can be delivered to closer Tesla service center - no mention of cost and time

    I was looking at an inventory Model Y in Cincinnati. I'm much closer to Lyndhurst and it has a button to deliver to Lyndhurst, but in the breakdown, doesn't offer any additional cost and it doesn't offer the time frame. I'm looking at getting it prior to March 31st for the deal. Anyone have done...

    Power Conversion System (PCS) failure

    My PCS failure occurred after I spent over $1000 to have a certified electrician do the breaker and wiring upgrade and install a new wall connector. It sucks to spend that much when I could've just bought a second mobile connector and used the existing plug, breaker, and wiring without having to...

    Guessing wait list # based on Reservation Number ...

    I don't think the conversion rate is going to be nearly that high, so you may get your vehicle even sooner. The price of the MY AWD was actually higher than the estimated price of the CT AWD at announcement. The demand for vehicles near $50K is much higher than it is for one near $80K. You...

    New Wall Connector initially charges at 48A then reduces to 32A

    Tesla remotely diagnosed it and quoted $1650 to replace the PCS. I think I'll cancel the appointment because spending this amount just to get the extra 16 A charge rate doesn't seem worth it. I had looked at my TeslaFi logs and saw I had no issues in April at a casino destination charger so...

    S3XY button install on 2018 Model 3?

    This will definitely be the last product I buy from them. Their support is terrible. Slow response and just told me to use the second cable, which I had already explained to them didn't work. I just am nervous about trying the passenger adapter. If it is actually wired differently, it may...

    That definitely looks like a candidate. I am starting to believe they sent me the wrong wire harness, though (and the video references 2021+ models so it may not match mine). I figure if it was the correct wire harness, someone in here with a 2018 Model 3 would've received it with such and...
