    Plaid center console light turns off when fully opened?

    Thanks for reminding me about this. When I first got the 2022 MS it was late December 2021. Told them about the issue so they tried another car in the showroom which operated the same way therefore the answer was "this is how it functions, nothing wrong". Was not going to try to convince them as...

    Thoughts on Superchargers After a 2300 mile trip

    This should answer the question.

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    You forgot UWB and the blind spot light incorporated into the front pillars.

    Thoughts on Superchargers After a 2300 mile trip

    Carrying a CCS adapter is like carrying a spare tire. I have them in both our Teslas along with J1772 adapters. That being said, I have yet to use the CCS however one must consider there are more CCS stations than superchargers at this point in time. Kinda like saying one can only fill up at Exxon.

    Peeling yoke replacement

    So lets start talking on how to get it to peel prematurely. Premature peeling, it that a thing?

    Navigation- Road Closure

    There are settings you can change to remove those and other warnings. You need to get into the menu and find those to silence it.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    When my daughter went to driving school to get her permit at 16 years of age, there was a parent day where a parent had to attend. We were told us old people did not know how to drive and need to listen to how we would show our child to be able to drive the proper way. One of the points that...

    Model S Front Seat Recline Partially Working

    Still no excuse for what happened to me as there is even on post dated Jan 22nd above which claims it worked fine back then. If Tesla does not understand it now works 3 month or more later, they definitely have a internal communication problem. Even if it is not reliable, they could have at...

    Model S Front Seat Recline Partially Working

    Thanks for this post as doing the self calibration fixed the issue on my MSLR. Problem was the seat back would not travel any farther forward than a rather relaxed rearward position. I contacted Tesla service to set up an appointment to which they responded with a mobile service appointment. A...

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    Have only seen a few Highlands on the road but my oh my do they look nice. A huge improvement over the previous model in my personal opinion. I am almost certain there will be quite a few easter eggs announced when the Y actually revealed. Tesla has already gone through the teething pains of...

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    I am also holding out and will wait to 26 if need be, nothing wrong with our low milage 2020. Maybe start a poll, could be interesting to say the least.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Glancing through the posts here it seem like anyone with USS got or is getting 12.3.6. Can anyone here with no USS (vison only) confirm they were presented with 12.3.6 for download?
  13. Midnightsun

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I am also downloading 12.3.6 on the MS as I type this and this is in Canada. Nothing on the MY yet. EDIT: Spoke too early, downloading also on the MY now.

    Peeling yoke replacement

    I have seen on this forums cases where the yoke has been replace more than once. Tesla will replace under warranty if its peeling once more.

    Model Y or 3 Highland?

    After having tasted a higher seating position, large hatch and easy access there is no way I can go back to a sedan. I did make an exception on the MS but without the rear hatch I would never have purchased one. Just could not like the MX. Right now I am holding off for Juniper to upgrade our...

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    Last winter I asked Tesla for a price as a trade in on the Y just for an idea of how little they would give me as I had a previous experience and was not expecting much at all. Turns out I have FSD which they give you 0 for and also AB which is worth 0. Bottom line is the car was a hair over 3...

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    I will never see anything over 130mph with my driving style however for the record, only the newer MS got clipped to 130. My 2022 apparently still does 150. ;)

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    I realize the M3 is a smaller lighter car however with twice the horsepower in the Plaid, I do not see it coming even close to Plaid numbers. 510hp vs 1020hp is huge. Will likely be a little faster from 0-60 in comparison to the MS LR but the MS will still take it in the long run with around...

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    There is a lot more to it then what you mention. Much quieter car, ventilated seats, auto shift beta, hands free trunk, and whatever else Tesla gives to us not applicable to what has/will become legacy models. Someone with kids will really appreciate the rear screen with bluetooth headphones and...

    Supercharger - Brockville, ON

    Probably found an endangered frog near by and are tangled up in environmental issues. Something must be amiss as the site has not changed in quite some time. :rolleyes:

    Will these Teslas be replaced for free?

    Give it a shot and see what they say. The issue is you have been in possession of the car for 8 days and only now you are claiming there were issues. Not much proof the car was delivered in that condition since you have had it for for over a week now. Regardless, rather small issues and most...

    Car died today

    Had pretty much the same symptoms as you on our MS when it was only 60 days old. Had a lithium booster pack and even with the correct voltage, could not pop the frunk. Car ran perfectly until that point in time. HV battery was at 100% when we left the house as we planned a longer trip, got to...

    Poll: Do You Plug In Every Day (for daily driving, home charging)?

    Wow, you can drive for 5 hours with your car charged to 100%. I want one of those. I happen to be in the hospital with my dad right now, had to come here on a moments notice and I am really glad the car was sitting at 80%. Point is, $hit happens so why no be prepared when home charging is so...

    Poll: Do You Plug In Every Day (for daily driving, home charging)?

    I like to keep both cars topped off to around 80% all the time so we plug in at home and I plug in at the office also. Would be a bummer if something out of the ordinary happens and you are sitting at 40% or less requiring a longer travel. Not like you can fill up the tank in 5 minutes like with...

    Daytime running lights

    In that case Mercedes in comparison is a rip off. I imported a Mercedes SL ragtop from the US around 18 years ago. I am rather handy at mods so I installed a relay to turn on the fog lights when the car was started to give me full time DRL. (running fog lights or parking lights or headlights is...

    Auto Wipers

    Well mine are improved because for the longest time they would not even turn on in a downpour when set to auto so I had to intervene by going manual. Now the auto mode works because when its sunny out the wipe here and there a few times a day. In rain they wipe but speeds are so far off its...

    Wiper Blade Replacement Tesla Model Y

    thats because most sites do a terrible job when it comes to fitment referance. If you buy Bosch Aerotwin part number 3397014621 they will fit even if the website you are on says they won't! Just put in 2021 as a model year and order them. Here is the site I buy them from because I am located in...

    This Latest Attempt to Force FSD Upon Everyone is Hurting the FSD Cause More Than Helping

    Do the cars in the US using FSD actually come to a full stop 2 times like you describe at a stop sign? In Canada the correct way it to stop before the stop sign and then proceed unless visibility is obscured and then you treat it as if it were a yield situation. Bottom line is V12.3 FSD does...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    So yesterday on my way home in a snow storm, I came across a traffic light which was dead due to power failures. It treated the traffic light just like a stop sign which is what it should have done. Was not expecting that, impressive to say the least.

    Am I crazy? Model Y without home charger...

    Think of it this way, how convenient is it if you needed to charge your smartphone at the local convenience store every few days or so. Sure it can be done but eventually you would question your choice.

    New Martian wheels, new droning noise

    Droning noise is usually the tires, are they new or new to the car? My winter tires do drone at certain speed on certain surfaces whereas the summers, not a peep.

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    Just like how everyone travelled no that long ago. Rules, regs and laws have made it mandatory in most places today including where I live therefor I have no choice but to wear it today. Don't get me wrong seat belts are a good thing and I do wear mine mostly because the fines are high and after...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Noticed that today, was sure I was going to curb rash on 2 occasions today on left hand turns, came so close to taking over but trusted FSD. In hindsight I should have jerked the wheel to correct as I was probably only a couple of inches away at best.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Odd, my car accelerates too quickly for my taste. Actually pushes you back into your seat.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    That would be the latest firmware on the car not FSD. In the app click on release notes at the bottom of the page where it will show you what FSD version you are on. Assuming you have FSD that is.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I have had the Y for over 3 1/2 years with FSD and can honestly say FSD never worked well at all no matter where I try except fairly simple highway driving. Every time there is an update I try going to work or Walmart or wherever and I have always needed to take over a few minutes into the ride...

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    That's simply because you are not very good at feathering the throttle. Not saying this is uncommon otherwise they would not have modes to select from. ;) Once this is mastered, you will come to a very smooth controlled stop or slow down smoothly in sport mode no matter if you are on city...

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    Cannot see how it is a safety risk as a Tesla in chill mode is still faster than the vast majority of cars out there. I still remember the first week when we got out Y, floored it merging into traffic but came up so fast on the car in front of me I had to jerk the wheel left to avoid a...

    Torquing Lug Nuts with Torque Sticks 120ftlbs or 140?

    Here we have mandatory dedicated winter tire laws so everyone changes wheels twice a year. Never seen any shops use a torque wrench or torque stick, they all rely on their impact guns. Although this is very questionable practice if you ask me, nobody seems to have issues. Personally I do wheel...

    Munro Associates Review of 2024 Model 3

    Speaking of stalks. My first encounter with shifting stalks was a Mercedes GLC AMG. Though it was so very backwards to shift to drive by pulling down, my brain said I need to go up. Obviously after a month or so it was done without even thinking and things were back to intuitive. So we get the...

    Tesla Map color is terrible

    Oddly enough I got a new map yesterday. Looks very strange as the picture (google maps) was taken when there was snow on the ground so everything is white. Looks quite confusing. Here is a screen shot of where the maps converge (summer/winter)

    Wiper Blade Replacement Tesla Model Y

    Here is a picture of the Bosch wipers on the S, same model fits the Y. Except for the Bosch logo, you would be hard pressed to tell them apart from the Tesla wipers. 1/2 price of the Tesla wipers for me in Canada.
