    Amtrak Auto Train

    I suspect yours won't be the first Tesla they have encountered. I also think that if the key card is moved to another location (cup holder, phone charger) it will allow the car to sleep. It has to be in a specific location on the console to work. Not sure about the app, but I've had mine work...

    Continental Tire Cut < 45 Days(1600 Miles)

    Says 1,600 miles in the title. I think he can go with just one. Doesn't appear to be any unusual wear.

    Continental Tire Cut < 45 Days(1600 Miles)

    I've had similar on another car and replaced the tire. My life (and yours) is worth more than the $400 or so to get a new tire.

    App-control aftermarket taillight

    'Enhance safety'? Because they say STOP? :rolleyes:

    buying model Y with ETH?

    Ah ok, it seems like this has changed a few times. Couldn't remember where they were now.

    I think so, as he talks about 'choosing spec'....

    Youtube App customisation

    I think that some folks have figured out a way to, for example, run Waze on the browser while they are driving (maybe search for that) so I guess it's possible...? I suspect that 'best' way would be to simply run it from the phone. And no, there isn't a Tesla app for SoundCloud.

    Lesson for Tesla Owners - Tire Service from Tesla or not

    As you probably know by now, Tesla service is exorbitant (as are most dealer services, so they aren't unique). I had a tire patched at a Meineke while on the road for $35, and also another tire patched by Tesla in my driveway that cost me $125.... 🤷‍♂️ And I bought my new tires from Tire Rack...

    buying model Y with ETH?

    First world problems for sure. And I'm not sure putting this on a public forum is wise.

    Roof Rack - Is it Really a Risk?

    Exactly. We don't know who installed it, for example. As noted above, it can be a little tricky to do so best left to Tesla to put it on properly.

    Did I Just Get Unlucky?

    Hard to say whether they will eventually be able to fix all of these issues, especially squeaks/rattles/things in the dash... Especially knowing that they may have fewer service folks today than they did before Elon arrived back at HQ with his wrecking ball...

    Lawrenceville NJ Service Center

    I'll answer my own question - chatted with a mobile tech doing work in my neighborhood this am. He said that a manager and a service advisor got laid off, but no techs that he is aware of. He also said that Springfield was 'decimated' and that some of the Lawrenceville mobile techs have been...

    USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

    Apples and oranges, but you can think what you want. Get a lawyer if you're that upset. Contact NHTSA. Call your Congressman.

    USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

    Yes, I've been following his videos with the car. After 10 months, though, not sure that will happen. And the buy-back department was probably laid off so.... 🤷‍♂️

    USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

    Well, I read it as a Max 'possibility', not a guarantee. But go ahead, get a lawyer and sue. Let us know how you make out. :cool:

    Wipers turn on with Cruise Control, won’t work on auto

    Mine have actually been a littler better the last few times I've been in the rain. Driving to Cape May on Saturday I ran into misting rain and a few showers, and they actually worked pretty well. Only had to manually engage them one time. There is supposedly an update coming soon, I just hope...

    USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

    The 170 kWh was listed as 'Max' charge rate in the specs on their website. Charge rates have always been listed as 'Max'.

    Roof Rack - Is it Really a Risk?

    The rack is designed to rest on connection points on the roof, not on the glass. I would just have Tesla install the rack to ensure it's done properly. As long as you don't load it in excess of 165 pounds you should be okay. I'm not sure what it will cost you in range or additional noise.

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    I live in Central NJ, and have taken trips as far north as central Maine and as far south as Southwest VA - I want to get to Florida soon. I regularly go to Upstate NY and the Boston area. About 2/3 of my (almost) 50k miles have been on road trips. I can't wait to drive to NE Florida. I've...

    Supercharger - Monmouth Junction, NJ

    No change as of this am. No meters yet. Hopefully this doesn't get caught up in the layoff of the SC team at Tesla.

    Battery health test

    Sure they do, here - https://www.tesla.com/support/range Charging Routine Try to avoid keeping the battery below 20% charge for an extended period of time. When the battery is too low in charge, the battery icon will turn yellow and the available range will drop if the vehicle is parked in...

    Battery health test

    Or you could simply follow Tesla's recommendations to charge up to 80% for normal daily driving and don't let it car sit below 20% or above 90% too frequently. Note that this DOESN'T mean you can never go below 20% or above 90%. You can do that all you want. I do it all the time on road trips -...

    Model Y PD

    Probably not as I suspect the team that developed this package has been laid off... :cool:

    Why can’t GPS be used to calibrate the speedometer?

    DOT regulation 383.83 states that a speedometer must be accurate to within plus or minus 5 mph at 50 mph. So the manufacturers have nothing to do with it.

    Auto Wipers

    Last thing I saw was a tweet from someone who's responsible for this (can't remember his name) saying that major improvement was coming soon. That was a month or so ago I think. Haven't seen anything roll out via OTA yet. Maybe that guy was laid off...

    Goodyear ElectricDrive 2 Tires

    Amazing to think they don't have a size that fits the best selling car in the world,,,, 🤷‍♂️

    I'm guessing you didn't read Braden's entire post or watch his video. He explains there.

    Swung by yesterday. No change from last week.

    Front license plate holder

    I'm on my second SnapPlate and the swivel on this one is definitely harder to work than my original one. Not sure. When I do remove it, it works very easily but is difficult when installed.

    Will these Teslas be replaced for free?

    Well, your option is to not have them fixed.... Not sure what you were expecting.

    3.5 year MYLR update 179.7k miles

    This is how commuting goes in the NY Metro area, so it's certainly possible.... :cool:

    VIN / Window Sticker Discrepancy

    As a stockholder, I sure hope they are not doing this! I can't imagine what part wouldn't be cheaper to ship to the assembly point vs sending an almost entire car....

    Matrix Headlight Retrofit Inquiry

    There's a long thread on here somewhere about this. I believe the answer was, it's not plug and play. If your car wasn't originally equipped with them, there's a different connector and software needs to be updated - which it can't be if you're not in the 'matrix-equipped' VIN range. But do a...

    VIN / Window Sticker Discrepancy

    You have 2170's regardless. But I'd reach out to your delivery person via text and ask about discrepancy. I assume VIN matches?

    Playing own music in 2024 Model Y

    Should be there. I'm not aware that the port for storing dashcam footage moved. It's on the driver's side, near the top.

    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    Yes, it is, but no info on order date. Not even on the Purchase Agreement, which appears to be just a generic one, undated.

    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    Checking in here. My order number indicates that I'm somewhere around 288,000 in the queue. I ordered it sometime shortly after I got my Model Y in March of 2021. I can't seem to find the email I must have received when I placed the order, so don't know the exact date. I'd like the dual motor...

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    Yeah, after sitting in the refreshed M3 in the showroom, the interior improvements really bring the car up a notch. And it's supposedly much quieter inside when driving. The exterior changes, while relatively modest, do give the car a sleeker look. I do like it and think it will improve the MY...

    There is nothing you can do. You're not doing anything wrong. They simply don't work well via the camera.

    Looks like the coverings on 2 of the units have been removed. No meters installed yet however.

    Tesla Extended Service Agreement (ESA)

    Good thread. With 49,xxx miles on my MY, I was considering a purchase of the ESA - even though I've never done this on any other car (or appliance, for that matter). I think I will give it a pass as well.

    Can "trail mode" be latched

    Nothing major. Some Autopilot features, as well as rear parking sensor functionality, may not be available when Trailer Mode is enabled. In addition, these features operate differently: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control increases the following distance from the vehicle in front of you. Side...

    Suspension groaning when turning wheel

    I had similar symptoms, it was upper control arms which were replaced under warranty. They also did the lower lateral links.

    Car wash?

    I typically get it after going through the car wash. WD-40 fixes it right up until the next time I go through.
  48. DanDi58

    Car wash?

    This. It's a car, I don't worry too much about it. And WD-40 on the black trim removes the discoloration.
