Just started driving my new MYP after having spent the last 3 years in a M3P. First thing I noticed today not eh way into work was the car was following at an unusually long distance under Autopilot. (If you drive on the freeways in. L.A., you know that leaving too much room is unsafe as people...

Does anyone have experience with this cargo cover for the 22 MYs? https://abstractocean.com/products/model-y-trunk-cover Or recommendations for any alternatives?

I'm curious if folks are charging things like drone batteries or cameras while out and about with their cars; is this safe to do, and what would you use to get a 110 connection out of the car? I was looking at something like this, but I am not sure how safe it'd be to use...

Seems like ever since 9.0, my M3P seems to be shutting down a lot when I park it. When I return to it from work, say (or sometimes just shopping in a store), the car is "all the way down." Hitting the brakes is dead feeling and the car takes about 60 seconds for the T on the screen to appear...

I'm looking at an offer from Tesla on solar for our house (12. kW system for ~99% offset) at ~3.50/w. Would like to see some competing offers from other reputable installers. Can anyone recommend good stable ones who work in LA/SoCal?

So I got the notice that my car has an update ready, clicked thru it on iOS to the app, but I can't tell how to actually initiate the update. couldn't find any videos or instructions online for how to do it either. I hoped that clicking on the notification to load the app would prompt me, ut...

I've seen some speculation on the board based on renders that the Performance trim is lower to the ground than the stock 3. We have a stock 3, and it works fine in our driveway, but my S (no air suspension) scrapes, and I was considering upgrading to a 3P based on the tax break and unlimited...

My wife generally loves her 3, but she continues to have 2 complaints. First and foremost, she’s spitting mad that they took away walk-up unlock. The “tap the handles to unlock” is a major regression in her eyes. Having to hit the handles to get the charger port to open up for her is a daily...

We stopped by the gallery in Century City today because my wife is trying to decide what color for her 3, and they told us that it has all of the colors of the current Model S. She found the Midnight Silver a little too blue-tinged, so she got herself happy with the black metallic...

So my wife is interested in a 3, and my pre-order invitation is here, but she really wants to see one in person to get a feel for seating feel/space. I've given her all of the measurements, but she'd like to look. Are there any Model 3s in any of the local stores (or parked at the Torrance SC...

Given the new APv2 software is clearly a whole new architecture requiring a new sensor harness, did today's announcement doom APv1 cars to essentially no more software development effort? Unlike the AP vs no-AP cars which share more features than they differ, APv1 vs APv2 appear to share no...

Last night, I received 2 notifications from the Tesla iOS App that my update on my car failed. In the car itself, there's no evidence of an attempt to update at all. I've done a fair number of updates before and haven't seen this error before. Is this something I need to contact a service...

I am going to be traveling for the next 8 week, and am not sure the best practice for my MS. Should I leavee it plugged into the HPWC or keep it unplugged and have my wife plug in in once a week or something? I searched the forum for a few keywords (idle, long period, unplugged), but couldn't...

I was at the SC getting my warped windshield confirmed, and someone was taking delivery of an X. Out of respect for the new owner, I took only a single picture from inside.

As my other posts no doubt make quite clear, I'm not a handyman, and so I'm looking for referrals for an AV vendor to install a dual-channel Blackvue dash cam in my MS when it comes. I've read the posts on self-installing, and ... no thanks! I'd like to find a reasonable metroplex installer...

Okay, it's time for me to come off the bench. AP is released and seems good enough for my purposes. New hardware from the X doesn't seem like it's going to trickle down to the S in the foreseeable future, and rumors will always be rumors. What's there now is good enough for me, and while I...

I'm looking for a referral on a good, reasonably-priced electrician to do work to install an HPWC and possibly a NEMA 14-50 as well (options if we get a second EV) in the metroplex (Southlake, if specific location matters). I'm going to need to have the general service to the house and existing...

Just got an email from Tesla saying they now offer leasing in Texas. However, I was under the impression that they already did. The "learn more" link in the email just takes me to the design studio. Has anyone else heard about new programs or is this just a sales-juicing email?

I was wondering if anyone else had read Jean-Louis Gassee's MondayNote post about the VW scandal and the challenges he sees in generating and delivering enough power for a meaningful move to EVs. He's pessimistic about the ability of electric to match the energy density of petrol, and I'm...

Does anyone have any recommendations on a tint job in the metroplex area? I'm considering a pano roof, and tinting that beyond factory seems like a must-have, so I might as well tint it all around to the extent of the law to improve thermal performance.

I've tried searching the forum (terms like usb and ipad show nothing, and usb and iphone show pretty much everything), but when you plug an iPhone into the usb port, is it treated like an external audio source that plays through the media system, or does it just charge? I'm asking because I...

Presuming (and I think it's a safe presumption) that there are some new features in the Model X that are not inherent to the form factor (e.g., around-view cameras, "enhanced" auto-pilot, cameras instead of mirrors), when is it likely that such feature would become available in Model S? I tried...
