Are they just more solid-feeling? Or does it have to do with double-pane glass?

I watched that yesterday. Great video. The bottom line is we can all feel good knowing we're driving in what are considered among the safest cars on the road. The roof strength makes sense to me, given the M3 has the bar across the middle for strength, and the MY doesn't.

You never know. When I ordered my MYLR in June 2020, after I placed my order, and while I was waiting for a VIN, the price dropped $3K. FSD also went up by $1K, to $8,000. Tesla honored the new price but stated I also had to take the new price for FSD, which I did...and still saved $2K. If you...

Nah

I have had the MYLR since June 2020, and while I keep an eye on the market, I haven't seen anything that has the combo of features, tech, charging infrastructure, and overall satisfaction that I'm getting from the Y. I just looked at a review of the BMW i4 and as is the case with many of the EVs...

I’d like CarPlay too but I haven’t had it for over a year now and don’t even think about it any more.

I can’t imagine not having the live traffic. Mine just went to paid after a year and for $10 it’s a no brainer.

Probably costs too much to license the right to have it in the car. Just stream from the phone.

Ty hat would be cool. I did a drive in combined with a camping weekend in the Model Y. I put the screen in screen cleaning mode and it kept it dark, as I needed the radio on to hear the movie.

It’s garbage anyway. It barely works and is very buggy. You’re not missing much.

My advice to anyone ordering a car - don't change anything. It will totally mess with the delivery date.

Yeah, plenty of videos on the abysmal range for towing. Not a great use case for Teslas.

Does park assist actually work for some of you? I gave up on it a long time ago. It never sees spots in a parking lot that are obvious and should be sensed, and at times it suggests a parking spot if I'm in a drive thru or at a traffic intersection. The software for that seems poorly written, or...

I think making an EV is far easier than building out a reliable, nationwide infrastructure. It's the key. That said, I also know Elon has talked so often about how scaling up production is the most difficult thing, and that building a prototype is comparatively easy.

Used to be, I barely spotted any. Now I might see 1-2/day.

I went with the Long Range. For me, range was the most important consideration. It's still the fastest car I've ever owned, and I've owned Mustang GTs. I tried the $2K boost, but felt while fun, I really didn't need it and the extra wear on the tires if/when I got on the accelerator. I tend to...

Nice!

Install was super easy for the service center. So worth it. Best garage opener I've ever had in a car.

Tesla does body repair through the app now. Try that.

Sounds like a good move.

Cheers

Absoutely.

Ahhh...that makes sense, that the divided highway is what the Autosteer uses to determine when to set the above mileage restriction.

Yikes, how long have you had your car? I hope you can get it safely to a service center, or a mobile appointment.

That was a great podcast, totally worth checking out. #1609 - Elon Musk

I got these, and they don't have any ugly logos on them. They seem identical to the Tesla ones. I like them a lot, and I've been using them since last August, so I've gotten the warm weather and snow experience. 2020-2021 Tesla Model Y Floor Mats Interior Liners

Great description above! Technically, "Autopilot" is a family of capabilities, which included with all new Teslas, includes both TACC and Autosteer, and for some, the optional $10K FSD features. So really, whether you're using TACC alone or Autosteer (which essentially is TACC plus lane...

None taken. I don't consider my decision to be pot luck, though. I researched for months before taking the plunge. It was based on easing my range anxiety, developing a charging strategy, prepping my house for a wall connector, and thinking through the next 5-10 years of my life...where I'll be...

Boy, you're so right about the F-150 being so central to Ford's sustainability. Sandy Munro talks about the issue the big three truck makers have. The CT is really a radical design, and as amazing as I think it looks and is, I think a lot of traditional truck buyers (most are just normal truck...

What jcanoe said! :-)

I always read the release notes in detail. The only thing my notes said was basically a generic bug fix note.

You have a point there. Could be. I was the only car in a sea of huge RVs. I think the one-off, small, family owned sites are the way to go. This one was a major RV place...kids running all over, pool, lots of facilities. Where we wound up felt more like camping.

Does the AB retain its settings between owners? Or is it software reset if ownership changes? I've seen people's posts indicating both.

‎RV LIFE - RV GPS & Campgrounds

Quick story...last August, the missus and I decided to take a weekend and go "camping" in the Model Y. We got the mattress set up, the 14-50 and TT-30 adapters, and hit the road. We booked a campground. When we showed up, the guy at the RV place said we couldn't stay there, due to "liability"...

Air suspension is not in the works, that I'm aware of, for 3/Y, for 2021. Also bear in mind, Tesla doesn't do "model years" like other manufacturers do. They do incremental updates when they're ready.

There is a known "stealth braking" issue with Teslas. I know in my 2020 MY, I avoid using TACC/Autosteer on certain roads, because it will brake with no warning - and it's quite jarring. For instance, on a road with cars on the shoulder, it will do that sometimes, even though I'm nowhere near...

I think stop and go traffic is the perfect time to use TACC and/or Auto Steer. I use the following distance of "4", and it's fine. The only abrupt stopping behavior is when I'm on a road where the speed limit is 50 or 55, and I come to a light. It rolls in so fast to the stopped traffic; I...

I just noticed after installing 2021.4.3, that the countdown time for the current track now shows...I don't remember seeing that before...on an iPhone using the Music app and Overcast podcast app, and it works great. It's small text, so maybe that's why. Am I out of my mind, or is this new?

Those 21" tires will really stink in deep snow. The 20" inductions with the all-weather tires aren't great, either.

NHTSA rated it as a 7.9% chance of rollover, the lowest of any SUV/crossover ever tested. Rollover rating is 5 stars. Actually the MY is 5 stars all around. You can't get safer, statistically, than any other SUV/crossover on the road. Add in the built-in safety features and you simply can't do...

They look identical to the Tesmanian mats I got last summer, that have elevated edges. Wonder if Tesla just ordered them from Tesmanian and re-branded them.

How is the service center in SLC?

My advice is to not overthink it. Just order the MY when you're ready. Teslas are, by design, iteratively improved vehicles; you will never get something that will be "future-proofed" forever. Just get what you want, when you want it. I ordered mine last July, and I don't have dimming outside...

Ohhh...I don't know. With the big three looking to electrify their trucks, I can see someone on the fence on what is a radical design with the CT, and the reliable and venerable F-150, for non-Tesla owners, most people may be inclined to go with what they know. In fact, I think most ICE truck...

I'd like it. I like the yoke look on the MS. I'd take that.

Got them!

Wasn't a battle for me. I got mine in late July - it had a few fit/finish issues, fixed on the spot and with one service visit. Seemed easy to me. idk

I totally believe it, given the nature of the crossover market.

I'm particularly interested in #3. I would replace my mirrors with auto-dimming if offered by Telsa.
