Yesterday at 6:59 PM CDT, Tesla charged $107.17 to my credit card without my knowledge or authorization. This is exactly the amount of Full Self-Driving ($99 + 8.25% sales tax). The charge is currently pending, but immediately disputed the charges with my credit card issuer. I do not currently...

On February 6, 2024, I purchased a mattress for my Model Y from Tescamp. On February 10, 2024, UPS dropped it off in a box that appeared to have been re-used several times. I was not happy with the mattress, so I decided to return it. On February 12, 2024, I sent an email requesting a...

I didn't want a white interior, but I named my Model Y Baymax anyway because I love the character and the exterior is white. I mentioned the idea of a Baymax headset cover several weeks ago to my mom. This morning, she showed up with a finished product. She made them out of a stretchy fabric...

I purchased my first EV last month - a Model Y Long Range. I've had several vehicles with adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist. I used the adaptive cruise control often, but the lane keeping assist was a parlor trick at best. In the Hondas and Mazdas I've had with that feature, it...

Does the Model Y use R-134a or R-1234yf refrigerant? I'm thinking about the A/C desiccant bag that Tesla specifies replacing every 4 years. I have R-134a service equipment, but not R-1234yf and I'd rather do this myself in the unlikely event I end up buying and owning a 2023 Model Y for 4 years.

I'm aware that direct sales in Texas are not permitted. I've bought dozens of cars over the years both in and out of state, but just ordered my first Tesla last month. What happens if the car is in unacceptable condition when it arrives - are Texas buyers stuck with the purchase or can you...

I was very surprised to learn that Tesla recommends replacing the "A/C dessicant bag" every 2-6 years (depending on year and model) as a maintenance item. I understand the purpose of dessicant in a refrigeration system, but once the dessicant absorbs any moisture that may remain in the system...

In preparation for my Model Y that's expected to arrive in March, I installed a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage for the Mobile Connector this afternoon. Total cost was less than $100 for the breaker, box, mud ring, outlet, 3/4" flex conduit, fittings, bushings, SS cover, and 8 AWG THWN-2 wire. I...

I don't like reading long introductions, so I'll try to keep this short. I'm an engineer who has dipped into automotive reviews and writing as a passing hobby in the past. I've owned over 30 automobiles in as many years and have driven EVs, but never owned one. Currently, I have a 2021 Ridgeline...
