My first real road trip (one needing a single charging stop) using EA on our R1T was a complete disaster. That was May/June of last year. EA for awhile called me every few weeks with "updates" and "someone is scheduled to fix it next week!". They stopped calling around October when I told...

I have towed it with the Y around Central Texas (and the Y is lifted with MPP). But now have an R1T but haven't towed it yet except to just get the trailer out for cleaning and testing. The Y does an amazing job with AWD.

I put CC2 on my old 2018 Model 3 and while they did great overall, they definitely lacked summer performance if you drive more aggressively.

On my Y the trailer blinkers flash at twice the speed of the headlights are on (I assume running lights). The car also reports a wiring issue (red trailer). That said everything looks like it is "working". My trailer was modified by the previous owner with new lights so wasn't sure if it is...

I added a 20w solar battery tender that sits on top of the propane tanks to keep the trailer 12v charger. I don't have a picture, but it's worked out well.

I have experienced the auto skip when backing out/leaving (and there is a message on the screen) in both our 2018 and 2021 with two different garage doors so I know it is a thing (and not due to setup error or missed signal). It happens so infrequently that I never bothered to try and...

You don't have to trade in, sell it yourself or use one of the third party car buyers. Probably should have got a realistic value for the old vehicle before putting down a nonrefundable deposit. It is unlikely Tesla will refund this, don't shoot the messenger, but it sounds like the $250 loss...

I was replying to the OP who is/was the seller. I too was the seller and had no problems transferring app/account ownership.

Hmmm ... I just did this this weekend, from our phones on the website. I removed the car from my account and the new owner added it by VIN to their account. It only took a couple minutes.

Climate (weather) definitely has an affect. High humidity climates in particular. I believe also having the car sit in a mild temp are (garage) also contributes (verses leaving it parked outside to bake).

I wonder if spraying the new filters with some anti microbial/fungus spray would help.

Oh man, I thought I was a genius. You might link to your 3D print, you might be able to sell them. I actually called Tesla first to buy a spare cover to drill into, but they said it's not a serviceable/sellable part. (It is not in their parts catalog).

I'm not sure it is due to that, as I have tried filters with plastic/nylon housing as well as adding a standout frame to keep the filter off the fins. There is already a foam border that should keep filters off. Plus the stench doesn't seem to be just on the lower part/half it seems like it is...

I have tried everything suggested and more since 2018. They all are temporary bandaids (for both my 3+Y). This is my latest attempt, drill a hole in the cover for the kilma hose and make a tight seal to pressurize the foam so it squeezes everywhere. (2 cans) Then use a heavy duty rubber plug...

I have a 2018 and 2021, they both suffer from the same. There haven't been any improvements AFAIK except the location of the filter cover screw.
