    New update 2021.44.25 adds customizable app launcher like Model S refresh plus other major upgrades to system.

    Love the new UI. Can someone let me know of by splitting the HVAC from controls left right means you can adjust temp individually? Can't seem to achieve that maybe I misunderstood the feature.

    Tire air pressure, something interesting or placebo effect?

    So I'm on the quest to recalibrate the range estimation because my 2020 MY went down to 293mi @ 100% charge. I've been driving down to 20% and charge up to 100% a few times now and was able to "recover" to 295mi @ 100% this past week. However, I noticed something interesting that after I backed...

    Model Y Battery Calibration

    Hmm gotta try this approach. I've tried a few even the one suggested by Service (discharge to 20% and charge to 100% 3 times) but none help. I'm in the same boat in terms of range, bought it for almost a year and I'm floating at 293mi at 100%.

    Tesla saved the day

    I considered my self as a more conservative driver where I look over my shoulder when changing lane follow by a quick peek at the screen to make sure no cars in my blind spot. It had been serving me well until yesterday on the way home. I was engaged in a conversation with the passenger and just...

    Rear Seat Cover Recommendation (for use with Car Seats)

    Echo the same on using the el cheapo carseat protectors. Been using the same set for years between cars. I can take some abuse from the kids and the food. :)

    2020.44.10.1

    Just got prompted for 2020.48.10 update, installing right now. Looks like a good release this time with notable visual improvements it seems. Edit: re-read the release notes, nav improvement is only available in China market.

    TPMS sensor issue?

    I noticed during the colder days, my Y TPMS often report irregular tire pressures even though I pumped additional air to all 4 tires and measured with tire pressure gauge. In the screenshot, I thought the tire pressure were pretty even but yet still getting the TPMS warning. On summer days, this...

    Keeping Model Y Window Defrost and battery management during winter

    I think OP experience holds true for any car, when I used to own ICE cars, same would happen during cold days. I typically rolled the windows down for a few minutes to "reset" and it seem to help the rest of the way to get rid of cabin build-up.

    Right Pillar Camera Blocked or Blinded

    I got this notice typically on the cold days in TX here, like today, where the pillar got some kind of "steam" stuck in side and driving around a bit with some sunlight helps dissolve them and the warning went away.

    Another thread on AP - Why I don't trust it

    I am in the skeptical camp when it comes to AP but often times wanted to validate my skepticism (yes I know) by putting AP to the test. Today, while approaching a red light and I was coming to a stop with approx. 10ft away from the white marker. I invoke AP thinking it'll see the red light and...

    Regenerative braking reduced warning

    I have noticed the same experience on colder day in TX where regen warning came on and as the day gets warmer it works as expected. I'm wondering if this is per design because to prevent the vehicle from skidding in ice condition? Just a thought. All in all, I react to the vehicle just to be on...

    2020.44

    Anyone is experiencing lost of capability to search and play songs via voice command? Example, before .44 I can bark out command "Play Dark Horse by Katie Perry" and the Streaming service will play. After the update, it brought me to the search result page and said Streaming requires...

    2020.40.7 Just downloaded and installed

    Is it me or after 40.8, I felt like the car is driving with more power? (No acceleration boost) I charged all the way up to 315 mi after the upgrade to test it. Took it out this morning for a spin and it feels like the car is just go go go. Maybe it's a placebo effect of software updates. :)

    2020.40.7 Just downloaded and installed

    Sucks to be you..no just kidding. I have no clue how Tesla issues these updates. My LR Y done with 40.8 and it's obvious the welcomed update to date. :)

    AutoPilot Almost Killed Me!

    My rule of thumb...I trust myself more than AP specially driving on highway. My bad experience came from driving on a 35mph city street near my house. The car set/read the speed limit correctly. However, as it came to a stop sign, it freaked out and told me to take control immediately, which I...

    I have a couple of mildly misalignments with my Y. But I can live with it because I dont want to drop it into service center and then came out worst. Just my fear lol...

    VW ID4

    Is it me or im not impressed with the ID4? I mean everyone is calling it hi-tech but comparing what I hear and see so far is just a step above traditional ICE in terms of look and tech. Maybe im biased toward the Tesla but I really like the simplicity design and futuristic Tesla has let alone...

    2020.36 software update

    This is why I haven't yet trusted AP, I'm old school that way. Lol on not telling the wife, wise call. As they say, what happens in the tesla stays in the tesla. :)

    Amazing example of Tesla's ability to characterize obstacles

    My Y often sees drive-thru order speaker-sign as human lol.

    Anyone regret not opting for performance?

    I got the LR version and the speed is just right given I have kids in the car most of the times, so I do not have a need for speed at this stage in my LYFE. :)

    Soon to be MY owner essential accessories?

    There will be a cigarette plug that you can plug into the compartment. You can use physical switch or app to turn on off. So far the light stays on when exit car, I have tested leaving long enough until car goes to sleep.

    Soon to be MY owner essential accessories?

    don't forget to add LED light strip for the center console. I ordered the below and it was super simple to install and the result was great driving at night. Used the app's mic feature to get the lights to flash based on your voice gave my kids a blast lol...

    Is this an adequate Flash Drive?

    Right, hence putting it thru the test for the remainder of summer and into winter in TX. It can be pretty cold.

    Waking up the Model Y

    My Y came out of sleep quick, usually under 10 seconds. I do get car disconnected error sometimes, I believe it might be due to my cellular connection, not 100% sure though.

    Is this an adequate Flash Drive?

    I landed on the deal below for a PNY SSD 480G drive at Walmart for dashcam, so far so good. The drive itself is a little bigger than a pack of gum, really fit well under the wireless charging pad. PNY Elite 480gb portable SSD $39 (or as low as $20) B&M Walmart YMMV $39

    August delivery here in Dallas, TX

    There were some minor misalignments on both doors (passengers) but very minor IMO. The camera alignments were actually very good no issues. No wires hanging out at the wheels (thank Goodness), the plastic trims around the wheels are spot on and very "sturdy". Cameras parts are very tight no...

    August delivery here in Dallas, TX

    I didn't see anything during my research prior to purchasing, I know TX is very "stingy" in this department for all the political reasons, I guess. Long Range, White with wheel package. No other upgrades.

    August delivery here in Dallas, TX

    Sup guys. Just took delivery of my MY here in Dallas, TX with VIN 33k. Went and inspect the car and the build quality was very good. Things I noted: Some paint imperfections (tiny small dots) A couple of small misalignments that I don't think it's very noticeable. A few minor scratches in...

    Tasker plugin is awesome!

    Agreed, yes these 3rd party apps provide convenience but never know what they do with the data, aka Facebook. Especially with Tesla having a constant connection to the internet. It just opens doors for hacks. Now if Tesla rolls out multifactor authentication then that should help minimize the...

    Texas Model Ys

    Hey fellow Tesla owners. I ordered my white LR MY late July and wrapped up all the finance logistics within a week. Got VIN email about early third week and delivery scheduled but got pushed couple of times now due to paint issues that are not up to standard. Needless to say I was not happy and...
