I have no solution for you, but I am having the same issue. Also, my car does not always connect with my phone even when I'm in the car. It keeps asking for a key card. I have to use the scroll wheel reset, and then it will recognize my phone. Super frustrating when I'm out and trying to get...

I just took a 4 hour road trip in my 2020 MY and OMG this was so unbelievably annoying. Weather was perfect, 70Degrees, sunny, to partly overcast but not a drop of rain. I initiated TACC in the first part of my trip and the windshield wipers started going furiously. I got annoyed enough to turn...

I don't tow with my Y, but I used to tow all the time with a previous vehicle. I used a structural hex head bolt, lock nut and plate washers to attach the trailer to the hitch. This allowed me torque it all down, which greatly reduced the rattles from the tow setup. Did this for many years both...

I have had these on my Y for some time and no, I have not had any clips come off of the car. All of the flaps are still mounted exactly as I originally mounted them.

I would think that the car would be able to float the 12v battery either from being charged (or connected to the charger) or directly from the HV battery. There are plenty of electronics on board to be able to monitor the charge level and "trickle charge" the 12v as needed. I get that batteries...

Interesting. My Y has had one windshield replaced already, about a year ago (performed by Tesla). A few weeks ago, a car passed me on the shoulder of the highway, splattering my windshield with rocks, putting a chip in it. I had Safelite come out and "fix" the windshield, then I left town. When...

When I lived in S.F., my mantra was "leave nothing in the car", not even pocket change. If someone looks in your car, and see's something they want (no matter how inexpensive), they will break it open to take it. I still do that to this day, so my option is take my stuff with me or leave it at...

IMHO, there's no way I would expect anyone to buy a brand new car that could not even drive off the lot (ICE or EV). So as far as I'm concerned you made the correct decision. As a new buyer, there is no way to know what is wrong with the car, and if they (Service Center) cannot just give you a...

I believe that there is some sort of issue with the lead-acid batteries (or possibly the charging system?). I've never had a new vehicle eat through batteries as quickly as my Model Y does. The original battery lasted almost 2 years, which I think was good/standard (1st battery was replaced...

I'm in a similar boat. I need glasses to read, but not for distance (so not to drive). I have to wear my reading glasses when I drive in order to read the smaller text on the center display. Never thought about it but every other display I use (computer, phone, ipad, even my watch) has a...

No, I don’t really. I’ve never lost a wallet, and that’s where the key card lives. If I lost the card (and my wallet) I’ve got bigger concerns, but I’d just have the card deactivated and get another.

As soon as I got those keys, I used my Dymo labeller to add the license plate number and a single digit number to each card. The single digit number is for me, so I can easily tell which card is which. The license plate number tells anyone with the key, what car to look for.

My car only recently got this update, maybe a week or two ago? I’m NOT on “advanced” settings though. Meh…my approach is “the next update will come when it comes”.

Also, it took them almost a week to complete this work on my car “diagnosis”…they claimed. Hopefully they complete your work more quickly.

Seems that way, yes.

FWIW, I’ve had those parts replaced on my car recently, and I can confirm that it did NOT help the app connectivity issue.

I only have two years (16k miles) on my MY, but of the complaints I've had about the car, "rattles" does not make the list. I agree with the comment above, mine has been very solid in that respect.

Entirely true, it is their decision, and IMO a poor one (that was my point). Every campground is different, but they will all eventually need to find a way to deal with campers using electric vehicles. At some point, with the increase in EV's, turning them away is just a poor business practice...

Everyone who stays at a camping spot will make use of the facilities at different rates. Back when I used to go on Motorcycle rallies, we used to rent big camping spots and roll in with 4-5 motorcycles and share a spot. Very few places took issue with that. Some people take longer showers, some...

I went to a campground near Big Bear Lake a few weeks back. We had originally planned to take the Model Y and camp out of a tent (Me, Wife and two kids) but for some reason they kept telling us we were not allowed to plug in an electric car. Even though we were willing to pay for an RV space...

Yes, the same issue persisted on occasion. I was also having issues connecting to available LTE and Wi-Fi (again. occasionally). I had the S/C look at the car and apparently a connectivity board failed and was subsequently replaced. Car seems to connect faster now, although admittedly it does...

My car has been in the S/C for three days and counting. They ordered the needed part before I took the car in and supposedly had the part in hand when I dropped off my car. Before I got there I was told the repair would be done the same day. When I gave them the car they said to expect the...

Same. I don't open them across the car (left front + right front), just front to back (left front + left rear). OR I open all four. Not sure, I haven't tried that. But I'll give it a go.

I have a similar issue in mine. I usually roll down or even just crack two windows at a time. Doing just one actually makes it worse for me. So I might roll down the left front and left rear together (or the two right side windows together). This usually relieves the issue but it's just a...

Agree with previous posts, at those price points, neither one makes any sense (to me). YMMV.

In case anyone is reading this, latest update (2022.16.X) solved this issue, and the app is back to working (in this aspect) as it was previously. Whole host of other issues came with the new version, but one issue at a time I guess.

I am having the same issue, 2020 MY and iPhone12. Oddly enough, this only just started happening for me, typically the phone has been able to connect very quickly. With the latest round of updates I received (both app update and car firmware update) the app no longer registers when it is...

Sure, I went with Xact Window Tinting in Ontario, CA. (909)605-0422.

Got back to the car this week, and it turns out the 12V battery needs to be replaced (again...it was just replaced by tesla service three weeks ago), which is why the car will not update (no updates until the battery is replaced). The first battery lasted 1.5 years, second battery less than 3...

You are probably right, once I’m back near the car I will do that. The app is still stuck saying the same thing.

I’m having a similar issue where the app asks me to install 2022.12.3.7.5. When I click “yes” it goes to “preparing to update” and then stays there for some time, before reverting back to the “software Update Scheduled for [next day, next time]”. It’s been stuck in this loop for a few days now.

The app does open the trunk. Fold down a seat and climb through.

Just took the kiddos to the drive in this weekend, and this is still an issue. Aside from simply covering the screen, I guess there's no simple way to turn the screen off (yet). We used camp mode combined with "screen clean" mode. Kind of annoying...

This is just an FYI. CA DMV is months behind on titles. I bought out a lease in October of 2020. Sent in all the paperwork, and received (an incorrectly completed) title in the mail almost 4 months later. I asked the leasing company to fix the title, and received the corrected title another 3...

#1 Option: Rivian R1t #2 Option: VW ID Buzz

I've seen some good replies above. I've had this issue before (with another car), and I checked: 1) Look for low fluid, and refill if low 2) If fluid is good, check for loose hoses/broken T's 3) If fluid and hoses are good, check for blockage at the nozzle/hose 4) If none of the above solves the...

Glad you got it fixed!

That is true…unfortunately.

Also untrue (at least in CA). Lane splitting is legal by omission here (unless something changed since I last looked). Meaning, there is no speed limit to lane splitting (other than the road speed limit), only suggested limits relative to other traffic. It is up to the person on the bike to make...

Untrue. Just like any other activity, you have people who are able to do it with no issue, and those whose temperament does not allow it. I've been riding motorcycles and lane splitting for over 25 years and I've never been in an accident while doing it. I've also never hit another persons...

Yep, one of the first things I did. See this thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/what-have-you-done-with-your-tesla-today.211551/#post-5149552

My bet is that THIS is likely the issue, if the puddle lights go bad on the bottom of the doors, the windows will no longer close correctly. Since you car is new, you can have service replace the offending light, but if they are taking some time, it might be worth just doing it yourself. Easy to...

Having the same issue with my MY as of today. Never happened before, but it took me about seven attempts to get the car to charge for more than a few minutes at a time. My wall connector has worked perfectly for over a year, so I'm not sure where the issue lies. Maybe a software update is in...

I agree with some of the others, let your insurance do the work, that's why you pay them the "big bucks" ..ha.

Do you mean you want to trade in your current car to Tesla as part of a new lease? My short answer is I don't know, but I'd ask the SA, they can likely give you that information well ahead of time.

Ours did the same for a long while, eventually it began displaying the correct address though. I didn't do anything to "fix" it, as someone noted above, we have poor cell reception here so I figured that was the cause, and I didn't concern myself with it. I guess after repeated use/trips to/from...

First, I'm sorry this happened, I feel your pain. I'll preface my thoughts with the fact that I have the same hardware installed on mine, and it worked perfectly the first time, and has for about a year now but that doesn't mean there aren't bad units out there. OP, you said "Hi all, I tried to...

There's an entire thread dedicated to people who bought Tesla's without driving one, in some cases without even being inside one. It is a thing... https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/who-ordered-a-tesla-model-y-with-test-driving-one-first.256364/

Absolutely test drove it first. Twice actually, once for a 30 min ride, and a second time overnight. I have kids though, so we had to try it out with everyone in the car before purchasing.

I was able to order the tires from Tirerack.com and they came in a few days ago, had it installed yesterday at my local tire place. So far I am pretty happy with them. They seem to make a bit more tire noise than the Goodyear's they replaced but the trade off there is they seem to have a bit of...
