If it's like a Model Y HEPA retrofit you can schedule a mobile tech for filter replacements. Then ask him to check if there is a tilt screen setting he can enable and offer a $50+ for his services. I paid mine $75 to enable biodefense mode, he did it after I linked him a quick YouTube video...

Just wanted to bump this as it happened to my 2021 Model Y @ 42,000 miles. Everything was replaced under warranty. I also have the Xcare warranty for 10 years 160,000 miles once the Tesla warranty runs out. This one repair, if done out of warranty, would be worth the cost of the XCare.

Yup pretty much. Also why displayed range is often not the same calculated energy usage as your actual range from the trip menu. Lots of various factor affect actual range such as temperature, speed, AC use, elevation changes, towing/weight, tire pressure, etc.

I like the yoke. Nothing obscuring the dash display. I put in a mini lcd on my Model Y and the round wheel annoys me so much when trying to view that screen. If you use your thumbs on the corner levers turning the wheel is just as effortless as a round wheel.

Have a Model S 2022 and Galaxy Fold 4 and this has started within the last few weeks as well. Still waiting on a fix. Same thing occured with my Model Y but I was able to repair and add the phone key again. But still does not work on my Model S.

I have a 2022 from Dec '21 and noticed the same thing and actually put in a service request. I thought it was an issue but think it's by design now considering all four handles are recessed about the same depth and canceled it. It's not that big of a deal to me and I've become accustomed to it...

As someone said above the contact is active/disconnected at a high frequency (causing the noise) which is probably meant to reduce power draw vs active all the time. The byproduct of this power-saving feature is that it causes this whine. I'm still waiting for them to push an update that reverts...

I just want to say if you buy 3M 2080 and do it yourself with about 5' x 50' of wrap the total costs associated is about $850 then probably about $150 in tools if you don't have any. So the base price of a wrap is around $1k so if you're paying 6k for a wrap the labor costs are $5k. Find an...

The twin fits fine in the back but you'll need a board or plank in front to keep it from eating. The areas not covered by the front makes it easier to access rear door storage and let wells as well. I don't see you needing the little bit of side space left. Get Teslamat privacy screen or...

I went a bit all out and got a rooftop tent. I car camp with the Millard and then throw it up top if I want to sleep in the tent. 🤣 Literally saved me $1000+ on AirBnBs. I like the ruggedness of the experience but it might not be for you sleeping in parking lots or going 2-4 days between...

It's a lot of waste as stats show around 80%+ of spire tires and tools are never used in traditional vehicles. One reason why most are doing away with it. Cellular service now reaches most places. You can get a spare kit from the modernspare but I sort of am regretting my purchase. It's big...

Is there a reason you don't set the temp in the app and get in when the car indicates its ready? I'm assuming it takes a min or two because it's a heat pump and works as an AC and heater vs a traditional AC. The liquid needs to reach a certain temp before it starts working efficiently while...

I personally wouldn't trust any type of suction cup device for a roof mount. Too many liability and reliability issues. Why not just get the retrofitted roof rack from Tesla for older models. It's weird they don't list static and dynamic load specs but ambiguously imply 140 lbs of pull required...

I'm wrapping my Y myself $850 mats and tools. The wrap only costs about $700. Everything else is labor.

My service guy read to me the bulletin that Tesla sent out. Something about the contacts on the battery pack being activated for better performance that is causing the noise. I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a way to kick the can down the road as we all know how long the USB sentry cam...
