Yes, I still have this issue as of today. I dont know if this is an insurance company problem (Amica for me) or the underwriters' database.

Ya, I did this - the delivery advisor still said they want it ON the policy before it's delivered. Just hope it does not hold things up. TX laws have changed WRT Tesla since I bought my last one, so I just dont know what the deal is anymore.

Got my VIN a couple days ago, tried to go get insurance on it, was told by my insurer the car 'did not exist in the database' as of yet. They are going to 'call me back' - but in the meantime, my delivery is waiting for the insurance company to find the VIN. Anyone else experienced this? I...

Same, I was there an hour ago still no meter.

Get a Tesla wall connector or a Wallbox (the higher end one, 50a or 60a dont recall). I took my Tesla connector including the install off my Federal taxes this year. Dont know about Harris county, in Travis there is nothing additional.

Not really - the Model Y is my DD/local car and so it's almost always in the Austin area, in traffic. I try to stay out of the throttle unless I need it. When I need to go longer distances I generally use my Range Rover sport. My economy is actually really good even for a Model Y Performance...

Maybe this is obvious, but I agree with the notion that the 4680 pack will probably NOT substantially add to range. Tesla will take additional profits and recognize weight savings from being able to put in a smaller pack for the same level of energy density. They have also hinted that they...

Yep, probably saw you out there. Guys onsite verified these are V3. When I was there a semi-truckload of McLarens was sitting next to it not sure why. We like Woodys too - its a little 'grungy' but the beer selection is great, they have about 20 TVs and their burgers and junk food is actually...

Out there talking to the guys a little while ago - station should be up and operational NLT the 24th of February. I would agree with the comments about this being an odd location now that I saw it in person.

I agree, but no one would take a bath on any Tesla product right now. You would probably turn a profit. However - your other point is something we have done, or at least I have personally. Ive reported my incidents to Tesla until I was blue in the face and they literally just ignore me. I...

Thats an even better location IMHO. Right between several restaurants and Lowes.

Really just overly busy, stuck in the corner of that HEB parking lot, plus when I go to the valley and most others are too - I am headed to SPI to my condo. Brownsville + charging adds an extra hour either way. Because until now Kingsville would be the next stop North, you pretty much have to...

This is REALLY good news. The S/C in Brownsville is a Sh#$ show in my not so humble opinion, and the one on S Padre is an old school 2 -bay 72kw tucked into a funky parking lot space at a Hotel. Driving to S Padre will be so much easier.

Went for a quick charge here today. Very busy - not a bad location overall (RIGHT on 130, easy right turn going South) - but, there really isnt anything besides this convenience store around for miles? I went by to see state of the Gigafactory (it's 1 exit down), but nothing else really there...

Love your wrap - pretty sure I see you around West Austin from time to time.

I don't like to single anyone out, but you are one of the biggest trash talkers on this forum. Don't point the fake news finger at anyone else, it goes to you first.

First of all, welcome and sorry you got a bristly intro to this forum. I lived in Colorado for 20 years and also owned a Tesla there so I can attest to the cold weather performance. I now have a 2021 Model Y I took delivery of in August. As of this moment, my car has 5851 miles on the...

2 more ~35 mile round trips today, TACC the whole time - no 'freakouts' - I think they might have it.

Thats such a crazy intersection going in both directions that I almost always turn off any cruise or automation, so not really. Though, the white markers that stick up in the middle of the road sometimes cause my AEB alarm to go off.

OK so - since the 2021.44.25.2 update which I received on 12/23, I have noticed a change. I have been up and down the same 4 lane road in Central TX (I attached a picture of exactly where one of the typical PB incidents happens) - and so far - it has not recurred in 3 round trips. Now, this...

Seems to me the cars that are taking the "drop out ICE engine, drop in a battery .. done!" are already a failure. I drove a Hyundai Kona electric, an electric Mini and a couple others recently to review for a friend's Youtube channel, and they all seem pretty unimpressive on a lot of different...

So, this is really interesting and the first acknowledgement from Tesla that this is actually a problem (that I know of?) - As Ive said before, it feels to me like FSD is the primary thread of development and attention from the software folks at Tesla right now, and the standard 'table steaks'...

Theres a Kerbey Lane in that shopping center too - as good as anything as far as Im concerned. ChilckFilA too. Great placement.

Everything Ive said on here and I believe what most in this particular thread have told is the truth exactly as it happened. Im not looking for problems, but Ive had my car a few months and this is a real problem that exists on my ModelY EXACTLY as I have documented it. Why the hell else would...

LMAO really! You have a lot of stones calling anyone else a troll, you've pretty much shot down everything anyone here has said including documented facts. Moving on...

I think I saw earlier in the thread where people with FSD said they had it too.

This is something Ive never encountered until I owned my Tesla. Blind loyalty regardless of circumstances. Dont get me wrong - I am a pretty big fanboy too, but the lack of communication and denial from them is amazing and a lot of its customers play right into it. As I have said many times...

Trolling. Very cool. Yeah, when I am driving down the road on a roadtrip at 80mph I am totally thinking about filming whats going on in my car when it may or may not do it once or 10 times every 50 miles.

Fair enough. I can change it up no problem, I just want them to acknowledge the problem exists. Thus far - 3 phone calls and 2 service visits, they say "this is normal behavior get over it" and demand I produce video of the events. So, it's a fair ask and I still have work to do I guess. *sigh*

All, I dont know if this matters now, but late Saturday 12/4 when I came through there (driving back from Starbase) - this SC was coned off and closed. The car told me on navigation that "Superchargers are closed on your intended route" - so it had me charge another 5-10% at 3 Rivers to get me...

https://www.change.org/p/tesla-inc-make-tesla-offer-traditional-cruise-control-in-their-cars OK, feel free to pile on. Maybe we get somewhere.

I might start a petition to Tesla to see if we can get them to enable the "dumb" cruise control while they fiddle with software. What do any of you think of this?

I mean thats cool I guess? But, after you're done being all pompous and superior consider this: Almost everyone here already drives a Tesla vehicle of some kind. We are pointing out a REAL problem that exists and causes REAL day to day issues with our satisfaction with the product. Whatever...

Precisely. Even though I am all about everything Tesla I really just want it to work. I am not blind to the facts and I will totally go buy something else if they don’t fix it.

2021 Tesla Model Y review: Nearly great, critically flawed Have anyone seen this? Not the “don’t buy one” crap but the behavior it’s exhibiting? This is pretty much my experience as well. By the way, mine starting doing this a lot more after the last couple software pushes, or at least...

Yeah this is definitely indicative of the kind of experience I am currently having, but mine are all highway - I don't really drive 2 lane roads. As I said previously, I feel strongly that Tesla pushed this out without enough testing. I noticed in this video there is a lot of sun hitting the...

So, an update to my experiences. Yesterday and Today I drove down and back to South Padre Island to look in on Starbase, TX and everything going on there. My drive was about 410 miles each way plus screwing around in Brownsville etc. We took my Model Y Performance. If no one has been there...

This is exactly the point. Mine is so bad I cant use it. I go out on a regular 4 lane road without heavy traffic and feel like I have to cover the brake pedal all the time when using either of these driver assist systems. It is not relaxing. It makes me nervous and tires me out trying to use...

I cannot say I agree with this. Based on the information I am seeing here, on various internet outlets, and from lots of reviews, this is a clearly identified defect of the *Vision based ADAS system* and needs to be corrected. From what I can tell, this is not an isolated problem in...

Personally, Ive been driving longer than most people have been alive. Ive owned 20+ cars, and certainly know how the Tesla system works. As you might see from my comments above, my issues happen in the wide open on almost always 4 lane roads or highways/interstate style roads. I generally do...

Totally agree. In all of my other cars since about 2014 there has been the option to turn off TACC. This is a flaming example of Tesla hubris as you say. It reminds me of the decision to put the Yoke in the cars - assume that everyone is dumb, the Yoke is the "future" and don't give choice...

Good question. The F150's system is definitely crude comparatively, but its never false braked even once. It definitely saved me a couple times when, say, going through a narrow toll booth and steering correction was required. Now, the one in our Range Rover - which is a brand new 2021 model...

Not to further stir the pot here, but how about this: Looks like this is not isolated, this is from a professional car reviewer and journalist. Maybe Tesla will pay attention to him?

All, I'll pile on here as well. My Model Y Performance was delivered in Late August and I have had this problem since day 1. I live West of metro Austin, TX on VERY WELL travelled roads, and there are lots of other Teslas around. There are even a few with FSB, up to version 10.5...

Everything's slower in Austin. Just heard today that the power taps might not even be run for this due to a slowdown/permitting roadblock with Austin Energy. Oh well, good thing the new SC in Kyle is less than 20 miles away.

We are actually leaving this coming Wednesday - our trip got pushed back a couple times, but this time its on for sure. Got our Airbnb on SPI and ready to roll - I will let you know!

Agreed, but the rest of that parking lot on both sides is always really busy. If I were them I would have put it down in the Lowes parking lot or somewhere on that side of the road.

12770 is down at the other end of the shopping center where there are 2 huge shipping containers sitting right now - looks like it would be a good place for a charger.

Brief update - this is about an hour ago. The guys onsite who were working on the chargers said the goal was to have it open by tomorrow. So, cross your fingers.

This is great, they must have put a rush on this one. It's also an outstanding opportunity for someone to put in a Whataburger, McDonalds, or something else to serve this supercharger. Aside from the brewery downtown, theres not a whole lot else in Johnson City.
