    From owners' manual: Press and hold the button on the underside of the trunk for three seconds until you hear a confirmation chime. It shouldn't beep as you are depressing the button.

    Model Y 2021 Complete Battery Failure at 18k Miles

    When I had to have the battery on my 2021 SRMY replaced last August, I was provided a loaner for all but 2 days in the close to month it took to do the repair. The first 2 days I was on a waiting list for a loaner, but Tesla provided $100 of Uber credits per day (or more if necessary) for the 2...

    Regen braking capped at charging level or battery capacity?

    I don't think it uses the charging cap because I regularly charge to 75%, but never see that message.

    Our Mar 2021 MYLR had its HV battery fail, under 18k miles.

    I was told it was a brand new battery. Every time I check the range, it is almost exactly the rated 244 mile range.

    Why not OEM tires?

    I only got 27,000 miles out of my tires and I don't have a lead foot. In addition, Firestone refused to look at one of my tires with a nail in it because of the foam.

    Why not OEM tires?

    I went with another brand (Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack) mainly because no tire stores would repair the Continentals because of the foam inside.

    Our Mar 2021 MYLR had its HV battery fail, under 18k miles.

    I received the same message on my 2021 MYSR at around 24k miles. It stopped accepting a charge before my scheduled appt. with the Coral Gables, FL service center. I received $100 Uber vouchers for 2 days (but was told they would cover more if necessary). On the 3rd day a 2018 Model 3 was made...

    My original tire has a little leak (tiny nail in the tire).Can I plug the tire?

    If it's not near the sidewall, you should be able to have it fixed. Many places won't repair the tire because of the foam inside. You may have to make an appointment with a Tesla Service Center.

    Getting a New Battery Pack on 8/22

    Starting last week I started getting the attached message after charging my SRMY. I initially had a service appt. set up for yesterday, but Tesla quickly changed it to 8/22, indicating a part was needed. After a few emails, I found out they are replacing the entire battery pack. Anyone know the...

    Charging Goes from 32A to 16A

    After the last drop to 16 amps and getting the error message, I reset the breaker and made sure there was very little slack in the cord. Previously I had a large amount hanging so I could step over it if necessary. The car charged at 32 amps without a problem until it reached the end. Could the...

    Charging Goes from 32A to 16A

    I have a Nema 14-50 outlet installed with a 50V breaker. When I start charging, it is always at 32A, however, lately before reaching my end point, it will be reduced to 16A. If I reset the breaker or unplug and plug in the charger, it will start charging again at 32A. What could be causing this...

    I had my tires rotated at Firestone last week. They found this nail, but wouldn't repair it because of the foam. Immediately made an appointment with my local SC. Estimate was $84. I was in and out in 45 minutes today. I was charged $75.

    One touch windows only work on driver side?

    No, they should all work the same way. From the owners manual: Similarly, pull a switch to raise the associated window: To raise a window fully, pull the switch all the way up and immediately release.

    Another noob Supercharger question, but then again it's good to be prepared

    The nose in ones are for cars towing something that wouldn't be able to back in. You should avoid these if at all possible. The nose in chargers are for Teslas towing something that wouldn't be able to back in. As a matter of etiquette, you should avoid using these if at all possible.

    While I was on the phone with Tesla waiting for a representative, one of the prerecorded messages was about holding down the scroll wheels and brake pedal at the same time. Does Tesla know it is a myth?

    National Chains that Repair Tesla Tires

    I may have a tire that may have a small leak. Yesterday I went to Tire Kingdom, however, they do not have equipment to work on newer Teslas with the batteries underneath. Are there any chains that have the capability to work on Teslas?
