    Blinker stalk not consistent

    I was having a problem with the "manual 3 blink" as the left went to 2 blinks and the right stayed at 3. I felt 3 was minimal as it was and 2 was not satisfactory. I changed the setting to auto cancel and really like it. There are times when it cancels when moving into a turn lane but generally...

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    I had EAP for 4k and just started the 99/month FSD subscription when the upgrade from EAP went to 2k. I did the upgrade. FSD is much improved but is a long way from self driving. On major highways, it is a major improvement over Autopilot. It seems the display covers a greater area than EAP did...

    Voice navigation addresses

    Where do the navigation addresses come from? When I say "Call Joe Smith", I get the phone number(s) from my contacts. When I say "Navigate to Joe Smith's house", I get addresses not in my contacts or even exact name matches. I don't get the addresses in my contacts which would be desirable.

    Directional signal change

    No one replied. I turned on "auto cancel" to avoid the problem and I like it. I suspect I haven't gotten responses because most people use the "auto cancel" feature. I will in the future as well.

    Directional signal change

    I have auto signal turned off and the left stalk has two positions for directional signals; a light movement would give 3 flashes and a full movement would be continuous flashes. I use the light movement for changing lanes and have gotten accustomed to it. However, during the last week or so...

    Front passenger safety restraint system fault...

    I'm going in for the 4th time this week. The first time they came to my house and replaced a sensor under the passenger seat. I don't know what they did the second time when I took it in. The third time I also took it in and they replaced the passenger seat cushion. They give me a loaner (M3) so...

    Does anyone ever just get it painted with better paint?

    I did front PPF and Ceramic Pro Gold for about 1700 each. Just refreshed the Ceramic Pro after a year for $80. It really didn't need it but as long as I was having it evaluated, I thought I might as well do it. I will say washing is so much easier. I haven't had to scrub anything yet...just...

    First post….first cross country road trip…and a question.

    I try to stay at hotels with level 2 chargers. You can find them on Pl;ugShare. You can likely avoid a supercharger stop for every hotel with a level 2 charger; J1772 or Tesla both work fine.

    Cold Feet: Reassurance or Reality - Tesla MYLR as a Road Warrior Vehicle?

    I think you'll be happy with the MY. I'm in southern Florida and took a trip to Green Bay last August and I was surprised at the few superchargers north of Milwaukee...at least comparted to Florida where they are plentiful. Charging at home is so convenient that it makes a gas stop a pain. Many...

    Does myQ needs home link?

    I've been using MyQ for a few months now and it seems to be working pretty good. I've had a couple instances where I had to redo the MyQ/WIFI setup in the garage but it has been working fairly well. I do keep a remote in the console as every so often it doesn't close the door. It does open it...

    Model Y Owners - Preordering a Cybertruck

    How do you specify the number of motors? I order one a while ago and I didn't have any options? I just looked at my order and selected "Manage" and still don't see a way to specify.

    Myq issues after update

    I haven't noticed any difference. I think I set mine at 70 feet and that is about the range it activates leaving and returning. I've only been out a couple times since the last update but it seems the same.

    No Track mode on MYP :(((

    After posting this, I went out to the car and put it in reverse and then into park. I looked for Track Mode and there it was. I wonder if I checked previously without doing anything with the vehicle other than looking at the menu. Anyway, it's there and now I have to figure out just what it...

    No Track mode on MYP :(((

    I have a 2022 Model Y Performance. I indicate that under the photo but I see I didn't update my reference to my earlier MYLR. So, my question still stands. I'm on 2023.2.12 and don't see Track Mode when I go to Controls > Pedals & Steering.

    $45 MyQ Subscription

    When my 30 day trial ended, I was given an option to subscribe for a year for $45. I did that. I'm quite satisfied with MyQ and the Tesla link. I'm close to removing the garage door opener clipped on the visor. Over the last month, I have had to restart MyQ twice. Otherwise, it has worked very well.

    1st Tesla Road Trip

    I've been to 7-8 Buc-ee's and they all had Tesla superchargers except, I believe, Daytona and there was already a supercharger a couple miles away. A quick web search references an agreement to have Tesla Superchargers at 26 Buc-ee's locations in 7 states. It really is a great place to stop.

    Homelink for Model Y - Is it worth it?

    44.25.3 supports MyQ. I just tried it and the first time leaving it didn't close the door but the screen showed it open and I was able to close if from the car. It did open automatically when I returned. MyQ also allows an Amazon delivery option for packages to be put in the garage rather than...

    $45 MyQ Subscription

    I think I have the $45 subscription. There is a 30 day free trial so I'll see how it goes. So far, the door didn't close when I initially drove away but I was able to close it from the screen at the end of the block. When I returned, it did open automatically. We'll see how it goes. I had...

    New Rear Seat Emergency Exit

    That looks like an improvement. Wrapping a plastic wire tie around it and letting it stick out when replacing the line will allow access without digging down into the storage area.

    Rear Door - emergency release MY

    I believe that the "wire with foam cover" can be pulled to open the door. Try giving it a pull. Again, I put a plastic wire tie around it and I can pull on that to open the door. The tie also sticks out when the liner is put back in so it makes it easy to access. It takes a good yank so I don't...

    Rear Door - emergency release MY

    My June, 2022, has removable liners in the rear door pockets...just like my 2020 did. I removed them with my fingers but needed a screwdriver to pop open the tab underneath and then needed a needlenose to grab the coble that opens the rear door. I put a plastic tie around it and let it stickup...

    Phantom Breaking on recent road trip

    I just returned from a 3000 mile trip and experienced a half dozen braking episodes; none which I found any problem in correcting. They weren't like brakes were being applied but more like it is when taking my foot off the accelerator. Nearly all of them occurred in areas with questionable road...

    Model Y Performance Logo

    When I had the car ceramic coated, I left the Dual Motor off and changed the T logo to Red. I like it.

    Trivia...Sam's Club fixes tires for members free regardless of where they were purchased. It is a member benefit.

    CCS Adapter is Now Available in the US Tesla Store

    New supercharging process requiring payment method

    Yeah, I know the card was good but I was wondering if the process had changed. I only added a credit card to my account a couple years ago and never had problems until yesterday afternoon. The error took me to features on the tesla app that I had never noticed before and I wasn't sure if it was...

    New supercharging process requiring payment method

    Problem was resolved but I'm not sure how. There was no problem with the credit card. When I tried using the app to go to Account, Wallet or Account Charging, it gave me the opportunity to add a credit card (I've had one for years on tesla.com). It wouldn't take a credit card entry. I tried a...

    New supercharging process requiring payment method

    On the road and using superchargers without problem until an hour ago. I get a message saying I don't have a payment method and can't use superchargers. I can't get the app to take a credit card. I'm stuck away from home and on hold waiting to talk to someone... hopefully.

    1st Tesla Road Trip

    Try a Buc-ee's. They have full time washroom attendants in the toilets. Incredibly clean. They are SE US and huge, 100+ pumps and no semis. It is a destination gas station. They have an agreement with Tesla and new stations have supercharges. I stopped at one in St Augustine and it was a perfect...

    Stupid FSD question

    Yes. When I tried engaging it, a message appeared that said I needed 100 miles on Autopilot and cameras calibrated. I'm not sure about the camera part as that took place the first time I drove the car. I rarely use AP and even TACC isn't used that much due to my desire to make frequent lane...

    Stupid FSD question

    I signed up for a month as I'm going on a couple week road trip and then found out that not only will I not get the beta, normal FSD requires 100 miles on Autopilot. I'll get that early on the trip but I was also interested in trying Nav on Autopilot and TACC lane changes. I liked both of those...

    Cermamic spray coat over ceramic coating?

    My understanding is that the ceramic coating should be a lifetime purchase. My manufacturer is Ceramic Pro and they recommend a yearly checkup. The PPF is Kavaca and is only on the front. I went to the product websites and have been following their recommendations. I got an inexpensive foam...

    Wireless Phone Charging

    I have a Samsung S22 Ultra and it barely fits. I have to use a very compact case. I initially had an Otterbox case and it was too big for the wireless charger space. I think the S22 Ultra is their largest phone so the others should work fine. The S22 Ultra does charge okay with a slim case. If...

    Cabin camera soon to be required for all AP features?

    It does seem that Tesla has been slow to enforce attentiveness while on Autopilot. Consumers Reports has been quite critical of Tesla. I really don't have any issue with the camera and actually wouldn't mind if I could turn it on all the time. I suspect that there are well over a thousand times...

    Hand car wash

    That looks like my car. I use a Ohuhu Car Wash Foam Gun (Amazon $28) and remove the canister after soaping and hose it down with the nozzle and then wipe with microfiber towels. With PPF and a ceramic coating, it takes 15-20 minutes and no scrubbing. The foam gun is awesome. It's almost as much...

    How does one report a supercharger or a Tesla L2 charger not working?

    I looked at the ClipperCreek website and it was a similar unit. The pedestal was about 3-4 feet tall with a cord tray on front and back. It had nice long cables as well. The CCS unit was a different style pedestal but also had 2 long cables.

    How does one report a supercharger or a Tesla L2 charger not working?

    The L2 Tesla charger was more than a home system. It was a pedestal with two long cables with a Tesla logo and a notice to call ???? in case of problems. As with the superchargers, there was no number with the "problem call" text. I should have taken a picture. I'll also pay more attention the...

    How does one report a supercharger or a Tesla L2 charger not working?

    I looked at Roadside Assistance but it seems to only apply to the car and appears to be used to get assistance to the car. If I said it wasn't charging, then they would send out a charging vehicle but that wasn't the case. The car was fine and I was able to make it to the next supercharger...

    How does one report a supercharger or a Tesla L2 charger not working?

    How does one report a supercharger or a Tesla L2 charger not working? I just did a trip from SW Florida to NC and back and the supercharger at Yemassee SC had no power. I have no idea how to report it. Luckily I had enough juice to get to the next supercharger. Then, I stayed at the Holiday Inn...

    Florida Waiting Room

    The quality is better than the 2020 Model Y. The 2020 had minor alignment issues with the trunk and one headlight wasn't smooth with the body. The 2022 is much better. They have improved the body quality based on my two examples.

    Florida Waiting Room

    The P is obviously quicker. I think I feel the road more. This one has a backup noise which I like. The body fit is improved from the 2020 model Y. I'm pleased with the change from a LR to a P and would do it again.

    Picked up my MYP this evening. It was scheduled at 1230 but I got a text at 1030 saying it wasn't in yet and they changed the pickup to tomorrow. Around 5 PM Tesla called and said it was in and if I wanted to pick it up tonight, (Sunday) they'd prep it. I agreed and went and got it (in the...
