Drive did not work when I formatted it from the car. Connected to my Mac and added the Teslacam folder and it’s working fine

Can confirm: road noise def reduced

True. But for context better ride than any point I’ve had this car since I picked up from the delivery center

I have the turbines, so: 255/40ZR20 Like I said, EV focused tires are an arm and a leg. I paid $261.99 before taxes, fees and warranty. Look to the prices of other EV specific tires on TireRack. Prices range from $289-$348 for the Goodyear F1 (OEM being the latter priced). Cheapest EV...

I just purchased a set for my Y today. This was my first set of tires. I squeezed 26,363 miles on the OEM set and honesty should have replaced them 3-4k miles ago 😐 I could not pass up the price for these tires given the fact they’re made for an EV and EV specific tires are an arm and a leg...

Oh snap. It doesn’t say daily. Wrong times two. Here I thought the LFP’s were missing the percentages. Looking at additional vehicle info, it is in fact LFP this Chinese pack. I am quite happy about being wrong

Delivery was delayed x2 (typical Tesla, this is my second Tesla and thus the delivery experience was the same, pushed back multiple times) . Just picked up this am. You were correct on the vin. Doesn’t show battery type. Internet misinformation. Sadly there is even a website that purports to...

My 3 RWD is set for delivery Friday. It’s a lithium ion pack (made in USA). You can simply plug your vin into any reputable VIN decoder to get the battery type (LFP vs. Incorrect. I am receiving a brand new RWD with a lithium ion battery pack. Only some cars have the Chinese LFP pack. The...

One. More. Time. Only the LFP packs are made in China. Both the RWD and AWD packs are American made. Go look at the American made index I posted earlier. It notes the RWD as made in the USA. if that pack were MIC, The 3 would not be #2 on that list. If I’m wrong, please show me some...

Nope. Only some cars with the LFP pack are MIC, Fremont is rumored to transition to making LFP. My 3 is standard range and after looking at the vin it’s a Lithium ion, so it’s made in USA. https://ev-database.org/car/1320/Tesla-Model-3-Standard-Range-Plus-LFP...

Hey OP, Not certain why you think no Tesla is under 55K. Picking up a SR Red/White Friday for $51,440. Fed rebate won’t include cost with state taxes and registration. That being said, it looks like no one who purchases a qualifying Tesla before Jan 1st will be eligible for the rebate. I...

I’m an apartment dweller so have to use my phone as a hotspot. Def still an issue and is quite annoying as I sit here anywhere from 15 - 45 min as it continually stalls though I have good reception. 6-8mbps.

Let me start by saying that the people at the service center were very nice. That being said, the rest of my experience totally sucked. AC broke on 07/02. System would no longer blow hot and cold air. The next available appointment was on 07/14, almost two weeks out. Brought the car in for...

Doubt you’d get any traction. I have same issue as of yesterday 7/1. Best option is service center appointment on the 14th. If you brought it in, I doubt they have the parts needed. From my reading, the issue is fixed by replacing either the heat pump, a manifold or both.

Yup… I assumed as much. I use neither after too many phantom braking incidents. Getting flipped off (I probably would have done the same) was my final straw. I don’t trust “autopilot”.

I do not use “autopilot” for this exact reason. It’s trash. But I didn’t buy my car for autopilot. I bought it cause it’s a ton of fun to drive. I am also fearful someone will shoot me thinking I brake checked them when it was the car screwing up. Got to love houston for that

Houston Tx 12/26 - Rear ended 2/14 - first available service appointment. 2/14 came and the shop still didn’t have the parts. 3/1 - Back ordered parts finally arrive. 3/4 - drop car off 3/11 - notified that additional damage found. Parts ordered. 3/14 - Still waiting. 76 days have passed

Don’t drive with a$$ holes If you don’t want to get rear ended... I just got rear ended because an idiot was not paying attention. Traffic stopped in front of me on the highway. Slowed to a stop. Someone 5 cars back plowed into the cars behind me and pushed the 4th car into me. The fact is that...

Why Tesla did not design a proper cover is crazy. Changing my air filter today and leaves came out. :( Thanks for posting!

@AnaS, What a total bummer. Keep in mind for whatever you decide in the future, a Tesla (or practically any EV) is more a computer on wheels. In “computer lingo“, what you experienced in known as infant mortality. The product cycle of computers typically follow what is known as the bathtub...

Well appearing on a panel discussion is far from “dropping something like an overheated FPU” and more akin to the dating game in order to score a date and get some…. Aka Hot and bothered

Sorry you don’t get sarcasm. Maybe you should keep up with current events. He’s not exited the market. He also spoke at a BTC conference and let the world know space x also holds this wildly inefficient crypto...

If Tesla’s mission has been to “accelerate the worlds transition to “SUSTAINABLE” energy”, then why the heck is Elon so hot and bothered for BTC? If BTC were a country, it would be in the top 30 countries on earth for energy consumption. Bitcoin’s Energy Usage, Explained This goes against...

As long as it’s more reliable than phone as key.

Solid answer but I’m not speaking. About replacing individual cells. I’m taking about replacing a pack or a module within a pack. Let’s say I want to keep the car for a million miles as that’s how long the motor will last. I will certainly need a new pack at some point. So how easy will it be...

The other thing I really like on the f-150 is the frunk and the fact that the “grill” is attached. Perfect for short people. #ShortPeopleProblems

Oh you’re right. I’d still go with the base of that was my price range as it’s all wheel drive. Plus like I said, Ford seems to be more honest on actual their range based off all the Mach E reviews.

If I were budgeted to get the base model, I’d go with the f150 lightening over the cybertruck as it comes with AWD standard and 300 miles vs cybertruck 250. But on the top end, I’d definitely go cybertruck 500 miles vs 300. One thing I really like about Ford’s EV marketing is the fact...

Souse curb rashed front left. I bought some touch up paint from TS Sportline, sanded down with a course sand paper and then a fine paper. Worked well can only tell if you’re close and inspecting the rim. Depending on how bad it is , it may be worth a try.

Floor mats as others have stated. 12v tire pump. Tire plug kit Front license plate mount. I went with SnapPlate. Screen protector with coating (prevents smudging better). Vinyl wrap if getting old center console High speed read/write USB drive. The ones that is listed in the owners manual are...

It may be worth it. Phone key is buggy and works about 50% of the time for me, so its not convenient to have to dig into my pocket, unlock the phone and open the app. If your wife is not a technical person, I’d consider it for her given inconsistencies in phone key working well. I have...

Check again. Tesla hid it in the upper portion of the main center console (the padded one). Well at least they did on the 2020 Y.

agree x100. Im going to be jealous if you can get a lifted Y from the factory.

In the automotive world 2” clearance is a lot. Put it this way, would you rather you penis be 6” or 8”? Clearance matters like that when it comes to overlanding and ground clearance. 11% more is still more, which means more utility. 536 miles range (probably even with a bike rack) vs. 326...

Especially excluding power trains, the Outback is a vastly different car compared to the Y. Ground clearance (overland abilities) Cargo volume Performance Ride quality Not factoring distance comparisons due to seasonal changes (both ICE and EV’s experience, just more noticeable in the EV)...

I made a service appointment via the app and the next day I received a message in the app asking for additional detail (times and events) because the logs in the y are massive (no surprise). I called and was able to give exact time because my iPad had a notification when my phone was removed...

Not sure how you can say that when you don’t appear to even own one yet. Are you just upset because you have to wait?

Tried Kashian’s fix and did not work. Drove to get takeout after I applied the fix. Parked, got my food, unlocked frunk with the app, put my food in, shut the frunk and went to open my door only to be denied.

Recently updated to 2020.48.35.5. Makes the problem worse

I don’t know about anyone else, but this update has made any issues with my Y not recognizing my phone key a lot more prevalent. If you’re in a rush like I was, don’t bother with the app was a waste of time. It will ask for your password, which would require me to go to my password manager...

Everyone has their own needs and wants. The Mach E has some very competitive advantages in the sense of creature comforts and might fit your needs better. However, I would disagree with others on Fords advantage when it comes to customer service as your customer service experience will vary...

Turning dow the seat heater activated te emergency brakes? That’s a whopper.

Not a fan of how the car is now displayed on the left side. It’s more eye candy and less useful. The rear hatch button is now askew and up to the right instead of being an easy dead center press. Sure the frunk is easier to open, but I rarely use it, partly because closing the frunk is a...

Thank you for the good advice/education. I find it troubling/sad/pathetic that the Tesla’s owners manual for the Y specifically states those two drives can be used. Why set owners up for failure? Give me the best advice to start,

Had issues (sentry mode screen black for an extended period of time) when trying to view sentry mode events for the last few months. Two weeks ago, the viewer was totally disabled. My only option was to format the USB drive. I did that and sentry mode was working again. Today I jumped in and...

July build. Don’t have it, don’t really care too much. My pedestrian warning system consists of cranking my volume. The stereo system in the Y is bar none hands down the BEST I’ve ever had in a car. Ever. I am slightly jealous, as I would have made Ludacris, move bitch get out the way my...

I had issues initially but maybe hitting the button did the trick. The last couple of times it’s rained here in Houston, I had no issues and it came down hard on Saturday.
