    New model y range issues

    80% SOC should be able to go 155 miles without having to drive like a grandma. I frequently drive to San Diego (~100 miles one way) and do +/-10mph over speed limit, leave with 90% SOC and arrive with ~45%-50% remaining. Granted I know everyone's situation and condition are different.

    Anyone had the roof tinted?

    Tinted my roof with 50%, keeps the inside cooler. Still very hot to the touch on a hot day, but it doesn't radiate inside the cabin as much.

    Red Dot on Tesla App Icon

    I have "1" on the Tesla app icon as well. Can't seem to get rid of it. I've opened the app and clicked on every tab and screen there is and the "1" is still there.

    Phone Mount Recommendations

    Long Line for Charging

    except if you're behind someone who doesn't want to or doesn't know how to leap frog and back-up to the next open pump, but instead she/he (mostly she) waits for the car immediately in front of her to finish pumping.

    When home, my phone is always close enough for the phone key to authenticate with my MY, so if my charging cable is plugged in it can unlock my car

    how about using the phone app to manually lock your car? that's what I do when I park in my driveway, but most of the time I park in my garage.

    Backing into charging spots

    HA you're right, I just went out to check and the backup view doesn't shrink when the two repeater cameras are on, the size is fixed. I guess what I'm trying to say is it's too distracting to me to see three camera views on the screen as I'm backing up.

    Backing into charging spots

    My personal preference is to not use the side repeater cameras, I prefer to view the back-up camera in full screen only and use the guide lines.

    Southern CA Edison rates make it not worth charging at home

    80% of my use is during off peak hours, primarily because peak hour is 5 hrs out of 24 (80%). I'm very conscious of not running high electrical appliances btw 4-9pm.

    New model y range issues

    I drive to San Diego often (105 miles one way). I charge to 90% (296 miles) before my departure which would be plenty for a round trip, but driving at 75-80 mph I arrive with 45-50% remaining, and the nav is indicating I'll be down to ~10% on my return. That's a little bit out of my comfort zone...

    Well, I thought I bought a 2020 Model Y, but only to find out it was a rental, and I was a victim of Fraud!

    I worked at several banks many many years ago as a teller. If a client flagged a cashier's check as fraud/stolen we immediately put a stop payment on that check and flag it as such. If the fraudster tries to cash the check at the issuing financial institution, the fraud prompt will come up on...

    rust under front seats

    Makes me wonder where else they're using non-treated steel where it's not visible. Also wondering if older production date models are showing greater deterioration. Everyone... look under your seats!

    rust under front seats

    Here's mine. Sept-2021 build. Not as bad as OP's but could get worse over time? Looks to be surface and not structural. Do we need to apply some sort of the Rust-Oleum or what to a new car?

    Lets talk mud flaps, spot welded nuts and loose bolts (also why every Model Y owner needs mud flaps)

    Got my Y yesterday and just installed my A-Premium mud guards today. I think it looks good, fits good. Next week is tint day. :D Still debating whether to PPF the front or not, but definitely will PPF the rocker panels.
