    Cold Feet: Reassurance or Reality - Tesla MYLR as a Road Warrior Vehicle?

    I have a 2023 MYLR that spent Winter 22-23 in Minnesota. Count on 150 miles max range (140 miles useable from 5% to 95%) when it's below freezing and you're going highway speeds (75 mph+). Should be fine in the warmer months, as range is more like 175 - 200 miles when it's warmer.

    Roof Sun Shade - recommendations?

    You can have it slightly see through if you use just the 2 mesh pieces, or you can add the (included) silver reflective fabric on top of it and then it is completely solid.

    2023 Model Y LR Poor Mileage in real world

    Not sure what you mean by "short distance driving with many starts and stops is not going to yield the best range." Often, drives with many stops and starts in an electric car will result in better efficiency than highway driving at constant speed. Driving with many starts and stops is...

    2023 Model Y LR Poor Mileage in real world

    The rated range on Teslas is a scam. It's is number with no bearing on real world driving. In the winter I get 150 miles (from 0%-100%) so I plan on MAX 125 miles between superchargers on highways. In the summer plan on 175 to 200 miles from a full charge when driving normally. This is how it...

    How do I fast forward Tesla media? Or get it to resume playback where I left off

    Scrub bar is VERY finicky, especially with the card not expanded up. I've never been able to get it to scrub when I am trying to scrub, but a few times it has scrubbed when I have been trying to hit previous/pause/next. Shocking to me that with all that Tesla does well with software, they make...

    Black vs White Seats

    I'm also AZ for part of the year and I went white/white plus tint on all windows to minimize the scorch.

    Model Y washing question

    Counterintuitively, darker colors show dirt much more than lighter colors. Black is my favorite car color... for about 5 minutes after washing.

    Roof Sun Shade - recommendations?

    I have this one, and it's great. However, it was ~$40 when I bought it a couple months ago. Not sure why the extreme price jump. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X9B5TTQ/

    Matrix Headlights on LR Y?

    Matrix lights are technically legal in the US, however the NHTSA has not released the standards that would allow manufacturers to actually be approved and enable their matrix/adaptive lighting systems. If you'd like to learn more, here is a great primer: Adaptive 'high-definition' headlights...

    Model Y front windshield replacement

    Scottsdale Raintree technicians do not do windshield replacements even if you take your car to have it done at the Service Center. They outsource it to Blue Chip. I learned this when I had mine replaced there a couple months ago. It was ~$1,300 through Tesla. What was it direct with Blue Chip...

    EVs Fall Short of EPA Estimates by a Much Larger Margin Than ICE in Real-World Highway Testing

    Oh Lord! What are all of the "EVs and ICE cars both lose range when driving in the cold, at highway speeds, with the A/C on, with passengers, etc. and it's user error, misunderstanding and poor planning if you say any different!" crowd going to do now!?
