    E-titles in Florida

    WTF are you talking about? Any car dealership in Florida (new or used) understands the E-title system, you only need a paper title if you are doing a private sale. So why would the OP expect Tesla to be so far behind the technology that they require a paper title? Now that I have seen the...

    Tesla wants to replace my Model Y Standard Range battery pack with an LFP pack

    My only concern is that since this configuration has never existed, what "off the shelf" Frankenstein's monster springs and dampers are they going to use? Keith <edit>Nevermind, you got the springs and shocks from the RWD Model Y LFP cars that the rest of the world gets. </edit>

    Hansshow F9 9 inch display with camera and air vents

    You know that Canada, all of Europe, New Zealand, part of Australia, and a couple countries in South America do DST also don't you? They follow the US's lead on this insanity. Heck, all of Asia and half of Africa used to do this crap before they stopped thinking crazy...

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    I am happy with the range I get, because I knew ahead of time that this was the EPA combined city/highway rating, not a measure of how far the car could travel on a road trip from 100% down to 5%. I got the "road trip range" information from out of spec motoring. Most important data out of...

    12V on 2021 MYP getting old?

    Thanks to jjrandorin! I followed his logic tree in the app and ordered a new 12V lead acid battery. Current price is a very reasonable $85 plus tax. That is a heck of a lot less expensive than the 12V lead acid battery in any other car I own! Also, it is being delivered by the ranger, I...

    Navigation and Map changes

    Can you erase the address, and just use the pin for now? Not sure, just a suggestion. And as I figured out in my last post, making corrections in TomTom or directly in OSM will be incorporated into future navigation updates. Also, Tesla nav never seems to forget an "old" address marked as...

    Navigation and Map changes

    Tesla may (or may not, making no claim here) use OpenStreetMap, but I know for a fact that updates to TomTom maps make their way into Tesla's navigation system, but only after the next navigation map update after you have submitted updates to TomTom. Does TomTom actually use OpenStreetMap and...

    CCS adapter retrofit now available for Model 3 & Y?

    So, even though it was installed equipment when I purchased my car, and for the people after the gap, it was not a "feature" so they are not giving it for free to the people in the gap? Interesting, Keith

    CCS adapter retrofit now available for Model 3 & Y?

    Nope, I didn't realize you were a 2018 until I re-read your post after your reply, my bad! Do the cars that were in the gap after it became available but they didn't get it due to parts availability get the upgrade for free? Keith

    CCS adapter retrofit now available for Model 3 & Y?

    One of the benefits of the S3XY buttons is the ability to switch on battery pre-condition. Keith

    CCS adapter retrofit now available for Model 3 & Y?

    Hmmm, I don't remember your car getting a $350 discount when they didn't install this to begin with... as someone who got this from the factory at no extra cost I think it should be a no cost upgrade for those that missed out. Of course, you should still pay for the adapter itself like the rest...

    12V on 2021 MYP getting old?

    I have small draw aftermarket equipment (rear view mirror camera, and automated frunk) so I figure that may have reduced the life... not blaming Tesla for this, just looking for a viable replacement :) And yes, I live in a hot climate for the last 1.5 years. Keith

    12V on 2021 MYP getting old?

    I have 70,000+ miles on the my 2021 MYP (well out of warranty) and am thinking it is about time to change out the 12V lead acid battery. I have gotten the warning to change out the battery twice now, the first time I used a battery post tool (terminal cleaning brush) to clean the negative...

    Trying to understand my options for a second set of rims for a '23 MYP

    Gemini's fit fine on a P. You can't get a set of snow tires on Gemini's from Tesla due to the speed rating, not fitment. Yup, my used gemini's (with sensors) used on my Model Y Performance and a set of good snow tires will cost you about the same as from Tesla... but you get a set of all...

    Free FSD for 1 Month

    More info: Version 12.3.3 and it sucks pretty bad. If this is an improvement over v11 then you people using 11 were risking your own lives and the lives of other commuters! It wants to camp out in the fast lane, unless of course I am in the slow lane and come up behind a car going 10 mph...

    Free FSD for 1 Month

    CRAP! I really doubt I would be enthusiastic enough after a month trial to pay for FSD, but timing could not be worse. Was this tied to the software update I just did, and if I had waited to do the update until I returned from my trip would I have gotten a month free trial of FSD in May? As...

    Will 18" snows on my Model Y Performance work?

    Post up results either confirming or refuting the idea... I would love to have confirmation. Keep in mind, the tires for the model 3 will be much too small for the Y, but you should be able to confirm the wheels fit and then buy the correct tires for them to be the proper overall diameter for...

    Here are pictures of the full set, all wheel faces and tread depth measurements. The first two tread depths are both 7/32, the third is 4/32 and the fourth is edge between 5/32 and 6/32.

    Hansshow Steering Wheel Stuck

    Get a slide hammer (you can rent one from Autozone) and go to town, with a hit on one side and then switch to the other side with it attached as close to the center of the wheel as you can get it. Oh, and like Snakedoc said, put the bolt back in a few threads so you don't bust your nose. Keith

    Trying to understand my options for a second set of rims for a '23 MYP

    Because of the speed rating of the snow tires is lower than the max speed of the MYP... at least the ones available from Tire Rack (in 255/45/19) are V speed rated... not sure why a higher speed rating is available in Europe for the Pirelli WINTER SOTTOZERO 3. If they will not sell them to you...

    Autopilot Rainbow

    You now have a "rainbow all the time" option that does not play the music, and activates the rainbow whenever AP is in use. I find the rainbow a better visual indicator that AP is active than two blue lines to the sides of the car image on the display, so I have the "rainbow all the time"...

    Tesla model Y owner adds buttons to touchscreen

    That is why you hide them... none of mine are easily visible (back of steering wheel spokes, front of center consol under the overhang etc.) but they are all easily accessible without taking your attention away from the road. Even when using auto pilot you are supposed to be paying attention to...

    Mobile Charger Issue with 14-50. Works fine with 14-30.

    Yeah, notice that all the other wires are dirty, but the new wires for the 50 amp are clean, and the ones that are doubled up are relatively clean compared to the rest... looks like they were moved. Keith

    Model Y has FSD enabled but shows it as an upgrade still?

    Good catch! I notice he has the orange download arrow... what you want to bet after he does a software update he either has FSD and the option to subscribe to FSD goes away... OR FSD functionality goes away. Keith

    Model Y has FSD enabled but shows it as an upgrade still?

    I am pretty sure that this car has enhanced auto pilot, it does not have FSD. That is why it has summon as an option in the app, and if it does NOT show enhanced auto pilot as one of the optional purchases but does show FSD as a purchase option that will confirm my speculation. If that is the...

    Don't drive my Tesla in heavy rain due to battery damage???

    Don't drive my Tesla in heavy rain due to battery damage???

    Four hours allotted time to complete 4 tests, the person mentioned above taped out after 15 min.

    Update on replacing OEM 12v lead-acid battery with lithium?

    Usually you get weird behavior from warning lights that actually have nothing to do with the battery, usually the ABS system, sometimes traction control when the 12V battery of an ICE car is getting weak. This is also how you know your 12V battery is getting weak on a Chevy Bolt... Since even...

    Don't drive my Tesla in heavy rain due to battery damage???

    I was at a job testing site for a new very competitive job (my now current job) and one of the other candidates asked if that was my Tesla in the parking lot. I said yes, and he gleefully informed me that it runs on coal... to which I replied "Yup, I currently work at a coal fired power plant...

    Precondition vs HVAC

    Totally off topic: Do you like Home Assistant? I did a whole home automation based on Alexa, but it had many limitations and I don't really like having a spy device (other than my phone) listening to my every word. Thanks, Keith

    Suma Performance blind spot mirrors compared to OEM with stick on convex mirrors.

    You can get the Sumas with or without the blue tint. I have heavily tinted windows so I went with no coating on the mirrors. Keith

    Precondition vs HVAC

    Cool and humid here in the winter as well. Don't use de-fog, that blows cold air on the windshield and leads to MORE water condensation on the outside of the windshield, use the "defrost" option instead. About 2 min or less of defrost setting clears the windshield, and heats it up enough to...

    Strange code issue.

    Hey guys, When sitting at home, my Tesla connects to my Wi-Fi so it can get updates, but the connection from inside my home to out in the driveway is weak, so when I need to navigate somewhere I (by habit) turn off the Wi-Fi before inputting a destination. The other day, I did this without...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Finally had a battery die! I am not sure when I purchased my S3XY buttons (I can probably find out by searching this thread) but the button I have set up for AP gets used several times a day, and the battery finally gave out on it. Apparently, it is a CR2032 battery and pretty easy to...

    New tire will not seal.

    Final update! Went back to the tire shop and they swapped on the new rear tires after I told them I had found the problem. Their attitude was "those shouldn't have been loose". Sorry charley, but when it literally takes less than 5 seconds per wheel to check the tightness of the TPMS sensors...

    New tire will not seal.

    I couldn't find a definitive answer on what torque should be, ranging from 4 newton meters to 7 newton meters, so I went with 50 inch pounds (a hair under 6 newton meters). This has solved the leak and didn't damage the TPMS sensors, so I guess 50 inch pounds is a good number for future...

    New tire will not seal.

    ARRRRRRRGGGGGG! I figured it out when I went to bump up the pressure in the leaking tire before doing my soap water test and the F'ing valve moved while I was trying to screw in the tire pump! I will look up the torque requirement for the TPMS sensors (probably a few inch lbs) and tighten the...

    New tire will not seal.

    Hey guys, Got some new tires installed on my 18's from T-sportline yesterday, and the tire shop can't get one of them to stop leaking. I have had these rims on the car for 35,000 miles without any leaks, so it shouldn't be a problem with the rims, and after being unable to get one of the new...

    Had to order new tires sooner than I wanted...

    I live in a warm climate, so I don't really need the excellent snow capability of the crossclimate2, I just needed something that won't kill me in the snow if I have to drive north in the winter as long as I drive carefully. In a head-to-head there was a noticeable difference in range between...
