I went out this morning and everything was working as it should.

When leaving this morning I set a destination. No problem. About a mile down the road, the music stopped and it looked like there was no internet connection. Got to my destination and decided to do a reset. Still no internet. Back home now (it's been about 3 hours) and still no...

A few days ago I did an updated that was requested in the Tesla app on my phone. The next morning I went to drive and on the screen was the Spotify login. I don't have a Spotify subscription. I couldn't find a way to get rid of this screen so I did a reset by holding down the dials on the...

My 2023 Model Y has a 264 mile range at 80%. Purchased the car in August 2023. I have 7600 miles on it and now when I charge back to 80%, it shows a range of 255 (usually from 50% or greater). Not sure why this is. I did some research and others say to wait until the mileage goes down to...

I had this problem during last month's update. When I got in the car, Spotify was on the screen and I don't have a Spotify account. I did a reboot of the system and it went away.

Maybe he works at Samsung and would be in big trouble if he brought an iPhone in the office.

Not sure I fully understand your reply. I don't really know the answer as I am just guessing. My main question is why am I losing range so soon if I am really losing range? From what I read, it usually takes about a year to lose some range but mine is less than 6 months. I did read after...

I know. Another post about estimated mileage. I purchased my Model Y in August and have about 6,200 miles. Normally I charge to 80% which gives me about 265 miles. Only twice I have charged my car to 100%. I mostly charge at home. A few days ago, I have noticed that I only reach 256 miles...

Sign me up for this one 😀

I will be driving from Riverside County on Sunday to Northern California, the trip is about 450 miles. From where I am starting to the Supercharger at Tejon Parkway at the bottom of the grade, is about 150-160 miles. I remember driving it a number of years ago and there is a big incline...

Thanks for that. I agree 100%.

After reading the above posts, I see that the updates are 2023.32.8 and I checked my app and the latest update I have is 2023.26.9. How do I get the latest update?

True. I will just leave it alone.

I care about not paying $6.50 a gallon for premium gas here in California. The car I got rid of got 15/20 MPG.

And his wife drives an SUV. I will send him this. Thanks.

A friend sent me a link to an article regarding tire particles flying off the tires because the vehicles are heavier than regular vehicles. The article says that Model Y tires produce about 26% more tire polution than regular vehicles. Not sure I believe this. Here is the link to the article...

Sorry that I wasn't clear in my previous message. I did follow what you posted in your in response from 4:58PM. I went into the car and made sure that the settings were correct for the both of us. I think that when we picked up the car, the names were not registered with the phone key...

Yes, we do have both profiles added to the vehicle. We had that done when we picked up the car from Tesla

Can you elaborate a bit more please? What is the key settings page? I did click on my profile name and saw "Refer and Earn", "Account", "Settings" ,etc... Under Account, I can see Tesla Profile and all I can do there is a reset. Under "Account", I can see "Contact Info", Wallet", "Order...

We have had the MY about 2.5 weeks now and my wife decided that she is ready to take it out in the wild on her own. Prior to her going out on her own, she drove it with me in the passengers seat. I think that she set the mirror and seat settings. I put my phone and wallet in the house as not...

A total of 52 miles.

I have had my Model Y about 2 1/2 weeks and this morning I had to run some errands. Temperatures topped out at 92 today. I left home around 10:30 AM and had to drive about 14 miles in stop and go traffic on city streets. Not that bad, but a bunch of lights to stop at. Stayed about 15 minutes...

I just got a new Model Y and formatted it exFAT like it was requested. I put some music on it. I put the USB in the console with the door, and I can't see the USB drive on the screen and don't know how to access the drive. What am I missing?

An update. Yesterday the car was parked in the garage and I did go out in the afternoon. Temp's were 104. Air conditioning functioned as it should.

When leaving the parking lot, It took me about 15/20 minutes to get home. My car is Blue and I am guessing that draws more heat than the white one.

Thanks very much for the advice. Next time that I am in this situation, I will start the HVAC remotely as you suggested maybe 10 minutes or so before going to the car. I am about 15 miles north of Temecula.

The temperature in town yesterday was a whopping 103 degrees. I had to go to a store and was there about an hour. When getting back to the car, the temperature on the dash said 114. I turned on the Aircon and was driving home. Set the TEMP inside to LOW. All the way home it was blowing cool...

The Homelink has been in every car that I have purchased in the last 10+ years so I didn't think that would be an issue. I did plenty of research on the vehicle before purchasing, but not this. Not a big deal because I have the clicker that I can keep in the car. I did talk to the facility...

I picked up my new Model Y yesterday and this morning I wanted to program the car to open the garage. I couldn't find out anything about this, so I checked the owners manual. Guess what ? NUTTIN. I finally called the facility where I picked up my car and said that homelink is a $300 option and...

I did that a number of years ago. I would say late 1990's. I purchased a car in CA and drove it to Washington and didn't have to pay sales tax in CA. Maybe that has changed now that CA is money grubbing.

Years ago I was living in Washington State (taxable) and purchased a car in California. The dealer had to give me an ownership statement to give to the DMV in Washington and I didn't have to pay any tax in California.

I am guessing it is probably OK and some people are uppity about not meeting the strict EPA standards.

This is in the news as of yesterday I believe. Tesla is facing a lawsuit from customers over its vehicles' driving range estimates. The suit accuses the company of "false advertising," claiming Tesla overvalued the cars. The lawsuit cites a Reuters investigation which found the carmaker had...

I am going to show this to my wife. I knew that burgers were healthy! 😀

I guess the panels generate about 37 kWh a day when it is sunny and most of the time, I use way less than that except on days when the temperature goes above 95. The last owners never paid for any electricity, they just paid the lease for the panels. I am expecting to do the same.

We don't have batteries to store the solar power and we do have a tankless water heater.

I did some adjustments to my spreadsheet, and this is what I came up with. The real cost of the vehicle out the door is as follows: Tesla Y cost: $51,970 Sales Tax: $3,897.75 License Fees: $1,200.00 (approx, might be high) Destination Charge: $1390.00 240 Line in Garage plus Charger...

HA HA. Thanks for the reply and sure, we will be driving quite a bit more in SoCal with lots of stuff to do so the break even point would even sooner than I thought. The traffic issue is what it is and either vehicle would be OK I guess. Someone else said that there are issues with the Auto...

Yeah, we talked about those items you mentioned and did help us with our decision to keep the RDX.

Not sure how they gave a solid offer but since it was so low, I guess they felt safe! I did go online with Carvana, KBB, and CarMax and they all said that the car was too new and needed to be evaluated at the store. So I haven't done that and since we took our second test drive today, we are...

The house we moved into has 19 solar panels and so far during sunny days, it seems that we generate about 37 kWh of electricity. Now during the last week or two, we are pinging 30-40 kWh, but when it gets cooler, we should be using maybe 10-15 kWh so I am guessing our overage would be covered...

I did put together a spreadsheet with calculations of costs over each year with mileage, services (mostly RDX) and loan information. We decided that it is not worth losing so much money on a brand new car, but it was fun to dream for a bit.

Today I took the wife to the Tesla dealership so she could ride in the car. We both drove it and now that this has been my second time driving it, I spent more time looking over the features and the dynamics between the RDX and the Y. Seats are good in both vehicles, but I do enjoy the RDX...

In January I purchased a 2023 Acura RDX new and it was $53k. Car has 5,300 miles on it. Since I lived in Colorado and gas was relativity reasonable, I decided to purchase. The gas mileage around town is 15-18 mpg and on the freeway I can get between 24-27. Not bad, but not great. A couple of...
