    Tesla Alternative?

    she is significant as she has a utube channel on insignificance.

    Is this alignment issue worth fixing?

    even if the problem was on an early 2020 MYP i wouldn't let it go without an inspection by a tesla service person. it looks like an adjustment error from the factory.

    i'd want it at least looked at. probably an easy adjustment

    Is Tesla Y better than other all electric SUVs?

    i agree that every 175 miles makes sense. if you leave home with 100% battery you're probably looking at 200 to 250 miles for the first stop, then charging from 10 - 15% to 80%. charging from 80% is too slow, even with a nicely warm battery.

    he said he had a license. were his pants on fire? he certainly did his best to burn your house down.

    New update 2022.36.20 missing screen capture

    So they're done collecting driver's information? They don't want to know about the problems? Seems like "Beta's over, everybody can go home.".

    FSD Beta 10.69

    was dramatic for me, with the surprise of the car doing something so unexpected and so wrong. (sorry for the inadvertent double posting.)

    FSD Beta 10.69

    slowing for the school zones is one thing but school buses are another completely. twice last week i had to wrest control from the car to prevent it from suddenly passing a stopped school bus. as the buses slowed and stopped the car did the same. but with all the lights flashing, the stop sign...

    Headlights defaulting to auto high beam

    do you have headlights always turned on, even during daylight? and i definitely like the auto high beams, even if they do get confused when there is a bright reflection or a bright driveway reflector. the car is far better at dimming than i am. john r

    EV Car/My Tesla - An Alexa skill for Amazon Echo / Tesla integration

    it would be nice to be able to tell the amazon device to ask the car to get the battery ready and interior warm/cool to depart. i don't leave the house every day and i don't leave at the same time every day.

    2022.12 looks promising!

    preconditioning the car warms the steering wheel enough and with global warming, the car doesn't get very cold anyway. used to have a car with a heated steering wheel and thought such a thing was a necessity. otherwise, looking forward to rebuilding the control button locations on the touch screen.

    Model Y Subwoofer Bass Mod

    this is interesting. i recently turned down the bass on the 2020 Y. i'll look around and see whether this older car has a different idea for bass output.

    Transformer Upgrade Required?

    that is a really good point

    Transformer Upgrade Required?

    no, for some reason it was an oversize one. perhaps because of the grid-tie solar.
  17. jdr93

    Transformer Upgrade Required?

    when i added the tesla charger the electric company said the primary issue was whether there was a 200 amp service or greater, but the other issue was the size of the transformer.

    Tesla Model Y Glass Roof Sunshade

    agreed. i'll be ready in 2022 for the light refresh the Y will have by then. hopefully there will be an electric shade, but would put up with one i could pull out of the front crossbar.

    Stopped by the Cops

    a while ago was driving the speed limit in dark of night with a car so close i could barely see their headlight, though they lit up the cabin to a blinding degree. finally just pulled over to let the fool go by. turned out the fool was a state police officer. they wanted to know what the problem...

    2021.4.12

    something needs to be adjusted for regeneration and traction control to work together more safely during normal winter driving in the north east. a couple days ago, driving in temperatures around 18F with snow falling and coating the roads, lifting foot off the accelerator caused the rear end to...

    Model Y Heat stopped working

    so since my Y has the no heat symptom and was built in may of 20 i imagine it will need supermanifold, compressor and sensors. i agree a poll would be good. if all the cars are having the (very) dangerous problem they should be notifying owners and getting them to come in and get the problem solved.

    Model Y Heat stopped working

    my 2020 Y's heat has failed twice. the first time it happened i made then cancelled a service center visit because the service center was too far away to warrant a drive with frozen feet, plus the heat started working. heat kept working until a couple three weeks ago. did not think about a SC...

    Model Y Heat stopped working

    my Y is vin 14K+. had the no heat a couple weeks ago with the " bla bla system fault " message. weather wasn't cold enough to matter then, but did a soft reset without a positive result. next day though heat worked. 6F today, car warmed from 17 to 70 in a few minutes prior to departing, stayed...

    Winter tire purchase/install report

    at 6 degrees F here in the wilds warmed the car for 15 minutes and took off to town. was surprised at how much regeneration occurred. though on a 60+ day i might use 1 mile of energy to go to town (pretty much a flat and downhill drive) today i used 5. lots of green. that included warming the...

    19" Michelin X-Ice SNOW - Has anyone got them?

    in september, after i was told by the local michelin dealer the x-ice snows weren't in their system yet, i called and spoke with the always helpful sales person at tire rack who told me the tires were not available yet and keep checking their site or call back. when they eventually did appear on...

    19" Michelin X-Ice SNOW - Has anyone got them?

    way back i said i wanted fast's 19" x 9.5" wheels. someone here wrote to say the 9.5" width was too wide for 245/45/r19 michelin x-ice snow, so changed to the 8.5" width. range seems to have increased on the performance Y from 280 miles fully charged to 300+ miles at 100% charge, though i am...

    Model Y And The iPhone

    i had the car lock when i took it into the tire shop and left the key in the car. it still locked when the phone app and i left its vicinity. the shop was not happy. so the card in the glove box is probably a no worries thing.

    EV Car/My Tesla - An Alexa skill for Amazon Echo / Tesla integration

    on the MY - "alexa, ask evcar to open the trunk" and "alexa ask evcar to close the rear trunk" work now too. that's cool, especially if there is a nearby amazon flex. a longer than usual delay between ask and delivery. asking to "close the trunk" results with a "closing the windows" reply.

    19" Michelin X-Ice SNOW - Has anyone got them?

    SpaceX’s Starlink Constellation Grows to Nearly 900

    the launch on 10/24 was the 14th launch of the operational starlink satellites. the first launch of 60 test vehicles has been almost entirely de-orbited. though 60 satellites times the 14 subsequent launches comes to 840, not all launches were of 60 devices. let's estimate 830 then. at 60...
