Thanks, I didn't think there was anything closely realted to handling that was even possible for a SW update to change but am glad to have confirmation from everybody, so I guess temperature change is the coincidental thing that roughly corresponds to the change in handling. Although it took a...

The most recent software update (2023.12.11) dramatically changed my Model Y's handling. It's a little hard to describe, but it's the most dramatic in cornering, the car feels like it just sticks to the road better vs kind of body-rolling normally. And the suspension used to feel unbearably...

It wasn't a nail, it was the sidewall that took some damage on the rugged road and then blew out. I do separately carry a good compressor. Fwiw the one I carry currently and am happy with is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BJYKHPM Yeah, I'm definitely going to upgrade my jack. I haven't...

I bought the "modern spare" kit for the Model Y for a trip into a remote region -- and I had a flat. My review is kind of mixed. I'll start with the biggest positive aspect of having a spare vs my understanding of what would have happened without: * I took around an hour to change tires (will...

Thanks for the advice, so far the best options I've tried have been moving the steering wheel up more, and also turning the passenger vent on and toward me. I still haven't found an airflow for the driver's vents that really cuts well around/through the wheel, but it's better

This may sound like a weird concern, but I want to run my AC at a pretty high setting but have the airflow mostly directed below my face. But the way the vents and the steering wheel line up it seems I can only get decent airflow if I send the air through the hole along the top of the steering...

My model Y is one of the first ones so it doesn't have USB in the glove box, so I just have the drive plugged in and sitting on the bottom of that front cubby hole where the USB ports are. The drive is small so it fits easily. I bought the 512Gb because it was cheaper and I think it's plenty...

Now that I've used both, I just wanted to post a brief review of how much better the SSD drive is. In short, it's both faster and more reliable. The old sd card would * stutter while viewing * take a second to delete a clip and re-load the list of clips * chop off the video early, often in the...

This is probably common knowledge, and common sense since cell phones always have the possibility of breaking. But I find modern cell phones very reliable and have become complacent about not necessarily always having the key card on me as a backup. But I can confirm that the risk here is much...

I'm late to the party, but thought I'd add my review anyway: in my opinion this upgrade "fixes" the car. I know it's absurd of me to say the original 4.8 second 0-60 time feels slow, but Tesla tuned the throttle response and acceleration curve to be so gradual that they somehow managed to make...

I remember watching a video long ago that I thought gave 4 settings you need to change if you want to go through a carwash. I can only remember two of them: * know how to put the car in neutral (from drive with break on, press up one notch and hold) * make sure the windshield wipers aren't set...

I just bought the floor mats and they look great. I read somewhere a criticism that the plastic looks like a rubbermaid trash can, but I don't see it. They have a little bit of texture and otherwise are normal looking black plastic. Mine are currently sitting in my living room floor. They...

I want to use sentry mode all the time, but I also don't want my car unnecessarily flashing the lights at everyone who merely walks near the car in a parking lot. It would be great if Tesla would let us turn off the flash but still record just in case something happened. But sentry mode has...

Thanks, I've bought a couple little things and will give a review later after I have everything and see what I like. So far the simplest items that I think look pretty practical are seat hooks (that attach to the headrest). I doubt I would store things there (maybe an umbrella), but they still...

Anybody have favorite products for organizing cabin storage? I have a bad habit of gradually letting clutter accumulate in my car by just setting stuff down wherever until it becomes a real mess. I see a lot of products on amazon that hang off the back of the front seats, but it's hard to...

Thanks, I think I saw your list in another thread and it was one of the things I used in making mine. I didn't see the liftgate memory bug. Did the feature never work for that person or did it work for a while then suddenly it forgot the setting? That would be pretty disturbing bug because it...

I got a VIN (68xx, no delivery date range specified yet) and am thinking about a checklist for things to inspect on delivery. I'm trying to remember all the issues I've seen other people complain about, here or on youtube. A lot of these I'm undecided at what quality threshold I should ask...

I think a couple of the Model Y colors are different than the Model 3 equivalents. Am I crazy? * the midnight silver looks significantly more blue. * the red looks brighter, more orange vs the slightly dark shade of red in the model 3 I think I'm convinced that the blues are the same. And I...

I agree with whoever said they ought to implement a backorder system instead of just sending out a "we're in stock now" message where you have to cross your fingers and hope that you can get your order through before they run out of stock again. But having said that I just got the "in stock"...

Tesla apparently released a little bit of info to salespeople here: Tesla explains the differences in its growing S3XY electric car lineup in one chart - Electrek It's kind of an absurdly written checklist and seems like it's mostly an attempt at upselling customers to the S/X. But it does...
