Front to back is sufficient, and how Tesla mobile service does it on vehicles with the same size tires on all 4 corners. Jacking at the rear jack point is preferred, and again how Tesla mobile service does it, because the the weight distribution for the Model Y is 45% front / 55% rear.

That seems unreasonably long. Any time I have recalibrated my cameras (HW3), it took less than 15 miles when driven on a well marked road (like below) and changing lanes a couple times. Have you tried going into service mode and looking at what it shows for the cameras and what the camera...

@AbraDabra007 Had your wife gone to America's tire, you would have probably paid about $375 for a new tire after fees and taxes. Basically you paid a $75 "convenience fee" for Tesla roadside to come replace the tire, which is less than 0.5 hours of Tesla's labor rate. Not the most cost...

There is lubricant in the rear drive unit. It's a type of transmission fluid intended for a sealed system, rather than a motor oil that needs to be changed. There is a pump and filter that circulate and clean this lubricant. You probably have a failed seal on one of these.

I got to play with 12.3.3, 12.3.4 and 12.3.6 (for one day) before my trial ended. I was very impressed with the improvement over v11. I'm not going to pay $99 per month to have it full time, but I will be far more likely to subscribe for day trips. Before, when FSD was $199 per month, I...

@ElectricAnt54 Odd the service center wont give or sell you clips. Being in LA, I assume you have multiple Tesla service centers, so try another one. It that fails, I did find this site that has a lot of Tesla clips for sale https://evpartsonline.com/search?type=product&q=tesla+model+y+clip

Clearly this is a T-1000, and your name is not @doug but John, son of Sarah Conner.

I get the same message about 2 houses down before I arrive at my home. Yesterday, out of curiosity, I turned on the turn signal just before my driveway and it turned into my driveway and stopped. Now it just needs to learn how to park in the garage. 😄

This was posted on Twitter yesterday regarding v12 for those on the 2024.8.x branch.

I wasn't trying to be coy with my response, I have no idea how to use the information found in the Electrical Reference guide. 😄 I was just offering up that the info is available if you know how to use it. That being said, it looks to me like a 2021 Model Y is "SOP2" in the guide. That...

The Electrical Reference is available online... if you know what to search for. https://service.tesla.com/docs/ModelY/ElectricalReference/

Did you break just the black cap under the mirror, or the arm assembly itself? If it is the arm, it's sold as a whole unit, but you can find salvage ones on ebay, for example. Contact Tesla service and find out the correct part number and price for your VIN (there are 2 different part...

That is a bit more difficult. The problem is, all the firmware tracking sites tend to show the releases in descending numeric order and not chronological order. For example, the 2024.8.x branch is numerically newer than 2024.3.x, but 2024.8.x was first released on March 12 whereas the...

FSD v12 is on the 2024 branch as of March 27th. v12.3.2.1 is on 2024.3.6 and v12.3.3 is on 2024.3.10. You can track software versions here. Unfortunately you said you are on 2024.8.7, and Tesla will not roll your car back to a lower software revision, so you will have to wait until FSD v12...

The subscription is for 30 days regardless of the day of the month you order. You can subscribe on Mar 28 and cancel Mar 29 and you will still have FSD thru Apr 27, it just wont auto-renew on that date. There is no prorating of any kind.

If you can see intrusion into metal threads under the rubber flap in the sidewall gouge, it is probably best to err on the side of caution and replace the tire. If it is just a superficial flap of rubber, you can glue it back down with a product like this (which is just glorified superglue).

When on the camera screen you can swipe down to hide the 2 side cameras and only display the rear camera. Whoever was in the car before you must have done this. Had you swiped up on the screen the 2 side cameras would have returned on the MY.

"Prototypes are easy, production is hard." -- E. Musk My prediction is, should the R2 come to market in 2026 the price will be around $65k (Rivian is already losing around $40k per R1x currently priced at $85k+). If the R3 ever does make it...

I will have had my MYLR for three years come April and I've had no repairs, out of pocket or under warranty. The only consumables I've replaced so far are the cabin air filter twice at $50 each time (I bought 3rd party carbon/HEPA filters, if I had purchased Tesla's filters it would have been...

How I deal with curb rash...

Correct-ish, a half inch thick piece of foam is invisible to all but the highest frequencies. A thunk would be a lower frequency. It's there to deal with frequencies more like the "ping" sound when you smack a red dodge ball (middle school PE trigger warning). As you stated it has no effect...

Yes, I pull mine off with a small suction cup I got at Harbor Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/2-14-in-15-lb-suction-cup-lifter-59688.html

The Gemini wheel kit used to be overpriced at $50. $90 is just bonkers.

I agree, it is stupid to show this as part of the pricing for the car. But I will also concede that it was not misleading in my case. I drive around 12,000 miles per year. My total cost for charging in 2022 was $435 and $455 for 2023. I charge at home 50 weeks out of the year, and 2 weeks...

Just FYI, Tesla has a list of normal operating sounds, along with audio samples, in the owner's manual Normal Operating Sounds

Tapping the park button wont do anything. Pressing and holding the park button while moving is a form of emergency braking. From the owner's manual.... If an alternative method is needed to bring the vehicle to a stop, press and hold the Park button on the drive stalk to apply the brakes and...

Appears to be a Happier Camper HC1

I guess it could vary from location to location, but when I traded in my Ford Explorer (in 2021), it was inspected by my sales advisor. I highly doubt he was a certified auto mechanic. He looked the car over cosmetically versus the pictures submitted and verified the mileage on the car was...

I ordered and installed them myself when I got my car back in 2021. They are not hard to install. If I recall they come with the squeegee, you just need to mix up some slip solution to spray on them for installation. (Slip solution is just a spray bottle with water and a little bit of...

@vishushri I think you are commingling a couple of the terms they threw around at your service visit. There is a "wheel alignment" and "road force balancing," but no such thing as "forced road alignment". First, for future reference, don't ever go to Tesla for a wheel alignment. They charge...

A tire shop is not going to patch that, its too close to the sidewall. I'm in a similar situation. I have a nail in my tire that is within the patchable area, but my tire is below 3/32" of tread left, so the tire shop would not patch it. I'm also at almost 30k mi on my tires, so when I...

Based on reviews and pictures on the PlugShare app, this location has 20 "urban superchargers", which are 72kW max. https://www.plugshare.com/location/142182

The story around the incident in Chicago was heavy on FUD and short on FAQs. I dont think the issue these people were facing was related to the 12v battery. If the 12v battery was zapped by the cold, they wouldn't have been able to get into their cars in the first place. I didn't see anyone...

I realize that you asked this question quite awhile ago, but I was shopping for tires today and encountered the same question. I started googling around and fell down a rabbit hole of confusing information and speculation. The "T" designation means the tire was manufactured to Tesla's...

Nail in the tire. Discount Tire will patch a tire for free.

FYI, from this article on the new icons

Telling owners their 12v battery was dead. Big fun. 😜

It could be related to this announcement in November. Or it could be childish billionaire spite. Only time will tell... Disney+, Hulu Merged App to Launch Next Month

Are you checking the vents in the center console or the vents under the front seats? (Also, Tesla does not send any air to the back seats if no one is sitting back there. You can explicitly turn on the rear vents when the seats are unoccupied thru the climate control screen on the front touch...

Check your unlock settings. You can influence this behavior. Unlock all doors vs unlock only driver first. Driver Door Unlock Mode Enabling Controls > Locks > Driver Door Unlock Mode only unlocks the driver door when you first unlock Model Y. The driver door unlocks only if a key is present...

That's wheel torque not motor torque, which is the much more commonly quoted spec. Better explained in this video starting at 8:35

The software is already on your car. Just subscribe and then go into Controls > Autopilot > Autopilot Features > Full Self-Driving (Beta) on your car and enable FSD beta and agree to the terms and conditions.

You can do it yourself, instructions are in the owner's manual under "tire configuration" https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-94F63B13-EA2C-45D9-83AB-5DCA6295D587.html#CONCEPT_FMN_B4Y_3TB

It's behind the glovebox on passenger side.

Common? No. Bummer on your new car experience? Definitely. Worst thing that could have happened in the grand scheme of things? Not even close. If there is a manufacturing defect with an electronic component, they tend to fail quickly, as you experienced. The service tech will swap it out...

The interior temperature sensor is on the underside of where the center screen is mounted to the dash (directly above the divider on the charging pads). Put your temperature probe in that general area and see what reading you get. If it is still way off when measured here, try rebooting the...

If the past is any predictor (and with Tesla 🤷‍♂️ ), it will be v2023.44.25.x and it will be released around Dec 20 ± 5 days. Usually there is one or more new games. Usually there is something silly with a 50/50 chance of the NHTSA telling Tesla to disable it 3 months later. I'm thinking...
