I would reply to them saying that you're contacting your state's Consumer Protection Agency.

I get everything you're saying. Many of my complaints about the car are the same (but I don't think I feel quite as strongly about most of them as you do). Where I would disagree with you is in expectations. I NEVER heard that Tesla was a premium car manufacturer. They like to say they are and...

It could be the mirror.

Try cleaining the windshield first. Might be something that's causing the wiper to stick. You could change the wipers as suggested, but to me it looks like the wiper could be loose.

And Board members like Musk's close friends and his brother who probably are unduly influenced by him can be removed by shareholder votes. I'm not saying the principles of corporate governance aren't cut and dried. The personal relationships driving all this drama are not cut and dried, and the...

Tesla Vision is hot garbage. Abrupt phantom braking, erroneously thinking the truck in the lane next to me is changing lanes, etc, It was released WAY before it was ready.

I think what you're missing (and I am too) is the ability to adjust the interval when using intermittent wipers. But given that there's no stalk like on other cars where you can do that pretty much only by touch, I think they didn't put it in because it would require your eyes on the screen for...

You mean how he stacked the board with his lackeys and relatives? Okey dokey. It's not nearly as cut and dried as you make it out to be.

I used to think this but he's made missteps that have made me lose most of my faith in him (firing ALL the supercharger team in a hissy and having to eat crow and hire many of them back, seeking $55 billion pay package when that money could have easily stopped the layoffs and then threatening to...

The radar increased the safety of the automatic braking. I believe I read that it could see under the car immediately ahead of you and start reacting in anticipation if the driver 2 cars ahead of you braked quickly,.

The first and second settings are intermittent.

Just using the one USB drive that came with the car.

It's not that big a deal. Worst case, if someone swiped the tag to use in a criminal venture and the cops traced it back to you, you have the replacement tag and proof from Tesla that you needed a new one cause the old one was lost.

If you get pulled over just claim you're not driving, you're 'travelling' and aren't required to register your car. This always seems to work in all the YouTube videos I've seen. . . .

Beware, not all ceramic tints are the same. Look closely at the specs of the brands you're considering. It seems like Xpel Prime Nano-ceramic has the best heat rejection that I've found. I haven't put tint on my MY that I got last fall, but come summer time that's probably what I'll go with.

When my phone key acts up the thing I've found that can fix it is to log out of the app and then log back in again.

Approved vendors can create threads about products.

I recently saw that I had the red x on my dashcam icon. When I touched it, it showed me an error that the drive was full and couldn't record. I didn't have any saved clips so I don't understand why it wouldn't overwrite. I deleted everything on the drive and the red dot came back. We'll see how...

The whole system is buggy. My car unlocks when I walk up to it only about 50-75% of the time. I need to wake up my phone to get it to unlock most times. But about once per month the whole thing goes catawampus and I need to log out of the app and log back in again in order for the phone key to...

I guess it's not a bad idea, but I wouldn't do something like that until it's out of warranty. If you have any problem at all with your glass that's not strike related I think the SC is gonna refuse to service it under warranty.

Would this make it harder to replace the windshield if it gets broken? Also, can't see your pics.

I've had slow leaks that the tire shop couldn't find with the submerging method.

To answer your question, yes, the SC can do the fix. They probably aren't the best price though. And I agree that taking it to a place that concentrates on alignment is probably a better bet.

It won't. I have had slow leaks before that couldn't be found with the water method. Frustrating. Also, sometimes they can be affected by the position of the leak when you park. I would go for a couple of days with no change then all of a sudden see a large drop in pressure. The only thing I can...

Took my MY to get it aligned. The place also does custom suspensions ( they are an MPP authorized installer). He told me he loves custom suspensions but one thing they all have in common is that they're noisier than stock, regardless of brand and regardless of car.

Ok. That's a legit problem. Only safe way I can see to get footage of it happening is to have a passenger try to catch it on video.

Tried something similar to that on my M3. Didn't help the wind noise at all. My personal belief is that the lion's share of wind noise comes from the rear view mirrors and the A pillar.

You can tell the SC that it's a safety issue all you want. There's nothing they can do. It's not maintenance problem, it's a design problem. The short term solution is to not rely on auto wipers AT ALL. Set them manually whenever it rains. Maybe it will make you nostalgic for driving in the...

On Pirelli's Elect site listed above, when you do a search for Model Y, 19" you get the following message: "There are currently no ELECT Tires available for your vehicle. Pirelli continue to develop new products and technologies, discover a solution that works for you." However, when you...

I paid for FSD back in 2019. There was no free trial back then.,

If you took delivery, you cannot now reject the car because of this. The best you can do is get it fixed under warranty.

Worst money I ever spent.

So it would take over 8 years for it to be worth it over paying for glass replacement on my insurance.

Nice idea but it would take a long time to make it worth it based on the few $$ per month I spend on glass replacement on my insurance policy. I think it's about $3 more per month. I guarantee you're not getting that shield installed for less than about $400 in SoCal.

It's supposed to save the last 10 mins. But that functionality seems to be buggy for some people.

No.

They seemed to have F'd up the dashcam system in the last 12-18 months. It was wonky when they first released it a few years ago but slowly got better. Then they changed how it worked and now it's wonky again. And with Tesla cutting jobs, I'm not expecting it to be fixed anytime soon.

Cheaper doesn't equal better sometimes. There are numerous articles about how Tesla insurance has left people out in the cold regarding claims.

You are not reading this forum, just like parsec. This forum is FILLED with people complaining about various issues, including me. I have stated many times that the money I paid for FSD would have been better served if I had burned it in front of starving orphans. Make a thread asking what...

Same situation. I had bought tires from them for my old M3. My MY got a screw just like OP and I took it in and expected to be charged but I think because I was already on file it was free. They also do free tire rotations if you're in the system. Only problem is they're very busy so your best...

I did the same thing the day after driving my MY home!! I had to back out partially to adjust the little tennis ball hanging from the garage roof that lets me know when I'm in the right parking position. For some stupid reason I can't ever remember, I opened the trunk and watched in horror as it...

I'll take 'Solutions in Search of Problems' for $400, Alex.

Nobody is saying cars don't fail. However, if you've truly worked in the industry, then you know for a fact that the VAST majority of unintended accelerations are driver error. You would also know that it's highly unlikely that a component failure that could allow unintended acceleration would...

There's a whole lot we don't know that could have had an impact on how much the system did or didn't work. She was in a parking lot. The distance to the car she hit was probably close. The system may not have had time to determine a collision in that environment. The automatic braking system...

Not too shabby.

Had Rimetrix before on my M3. I think they're a bit too pricey and a pain in the a$$ to get off. Went with Lasfit for my MY. They work great and look good.

How is this any different from many other mods (front spoilers, rear spoilers, wheels, paint/PPF, etc.)??

You may have to take it to the service center to have them adjust the lights.

Did you engage it on city streets? If so, then you must have ice water in your veins. It's scary as hell trying generally and specifically when trying to navigate turn lanes, especially dual turn lanes. My biggest purchase regret in YEARS.

They want to reduce their inventory. Therefore, they're gonna push people to buy up what's already built and sitting in a lot, as opposed to leaving that car in a lot and building a new one right off the line just for you.
