Wow, the NHTSA objections have delivered software that's got some serious problems. For reasons unknown to me autopilot flipped out and insisted I wasn't paying attention. This in every decreasing nag screens. I was darn near ripping the thing off the road and it was still insisting it...

Hello all. I've read quite a few posts and the conflicting answers have muddled my understanding. So: Q1) In the event of a flat does Tesla Roadside Assistance: A. Currently provide a loaner rim/tire? B. If so, is that service a commitment or a "maybe the guy we send has one...

As post says, looking for concise answers on 18" rims on Model Y, ideally including other OEM Mfg rims that would work. Things reasonably obvious from reference threads (below), and other places. Size: 18" x 7-8" (depending on rash protection, tire width desire) Tire Options: 245/55R18...

@wk057 @AAKEE Can either of you offer definitive guidance on cell balancing benefit, need, and method with least cell detriment? Finally, is the juice worth the squeeze? Thanks! -d

Change in energy use as a percentage do not align with the Energy consumption graph averages. I seem to be using more based on percentage than the average shows. EG: Take a 30 mile trip and the percentage drop shows more energy consumed than the 30 mile aberage would report. Off up to 10%...

Is there a consensus on LR available capacity? Perhaps a post that already exists? I've a '23 MYLR, and my crude range modeling suggests I'm working with less than the 75KW I see kicked around sometime. Experience shows it might be more like 73.5. Is there a quality way to determine same...

A few days ago I noticed a member report his car charged to a far higher SoC then he'd expected. Most posters insisted he must have reset it and not known. Maybe not. Something may be up. Yesterday (Friday June 23rd) my '23 MYLR charged to 83% without command. I don't know why. Things...

Sorry guys, it's been impossible to find a clear answer even though I've searched, read the owners manual, etc. Taking a 500 mile trip w/some ICE's next week, trying to stay within an hour or so of them. At present software level, for a '23 MYLR (Freemont): 1) Is there a minimum battery...

An quickly running short of patience with this thing. Its set to auto-lock doors and has the "Except for Home" checkbox selected. Doesn't matter, it locks the darn doors anyway. And it know's its home. Tessie automations that all run "on home arrival" work, and the car reports it's at it's...

Just in case this helps the next guy/gal: Home EV Wiring Project YMMV, use at your own risk.

Wondering what ya'll are doing for Alexa integration. I use Tessie for now, and I like it I guess, but its Alexa integration is mostly cutsey stuff. Sure, I can give commands, but the useful things? No can do. I suppose for anything useful I expect to be able to launch routines based on...

The retractable roof solar shade briefly sold on this forum by a few companies, and presently sold by RPM for $561 plus $100 shipping, is available on Alibaba for $125-$150. This is without shipping, and the differences appear to be required minimum order. I propose a group purchase. I'd...

Objective: I wondered just how significant air pressure really is to EV range and decided to test it. Background: Car, (MYLR) left a 60f heated garage to 40f ambient and was driven 25 miles to warm up. Air pressures were validated between 2 digital gauges (which match to within ¼ psi, and...

The '23 MRLR interior lighting is terrible. I might get more light from burned out matches than I do the rear hatch. Present day lighting is tiny round inserts. Anybody have any upgrade solutions? Thanks! -d

Is there a stated, or maybe reasonably justified expectation, of years of life for these?

Thanks for helping. This is not about "Best Quality" or "Cheapest". This forum has those answers well covered in other threads. Instead let's pretend I'm short, impatient, somewhat uncoordinated, and only using a sun shade because the HOA is making me. I'll cooperate a little, but I'll get...

Rear hatch-trunk area, really even the back seat, aren't all the well lit (IMO). Q1) Is there a place in the hatch storage area that lights might fit inside? Q2) Has anybody mounted strip lighing in that area that would care to share? Q3 For the upgrade light kits that go in factory...

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" The modern day Pony Express has come to "Gee, it's cold and snowy out". Sure hope nobody has any medications on the way. BTW, all in fun. Hasn't been anything...

I would really like to only recharge when we're under 50% range. I would ALSO like keep my wife in the habit of plugging it in every night. Anybody know how to do this?

Had to turn Sentry off because it's running 24x7. Mind you it's set to "Except Home", and home is set. It appears the car doesn't know its home. Its in the garage, but it appears to want to be in the driveway. Thoughts? How do I teach it "home" is more than the 10' radius it appears to...

Car makes a small whirring electric motor noise 24x7. Background: It's not charging: Is set to complete charge before off-peak end (7:45 am) to 76% 7 days a week. Climate's not on (that I can discern, and I've looked extensively) and it's set to precondition to drive by 7:30am weekdays) Car...

This will not be everyone's cup of tea and I don't expect it to be. Some of you have easy access to supercharging, others wouldn't dream of treating electricity as anything but witchcraft. For those wanting L2 options, well, here you go. The attached is really for my son to help my wife if...

There seems to be 4 common choices being made: Tesmanian: Least Expensive Maintream @ $209 for a full set. Sort of a flexible rubber/EDPM. Fits seems to be 8 of 10, folks like then. I suspect they get dirty/stained/worn looking easily. TuxMat: The high end of common. I've used them in...

I understand most existing console organizers conflict with the 2023 12v power outlet location. Does anybody know of tray's that have the correct cutout?

My sales advisor, who I don't think knows much, reports that for 2023 USB's in the console are only for charging. The Y owners's manual reports they can be used for SSD and thumb drives for sentry storage, music, etc. What say you?

I see these are now down to $200, and also that they are backordered. For $200 I suppose so. Does anybody know if these were a blow-out deal and are discontinued, or? https://shop.tesla.com/product/corded-mobile-connector Thanks!

Pucks. Is there a "Buy This One" consensus or are they all about the same? Thanks! -d

Want to buy 18" great condition aero's. I will put scammers through more trouble than it's worth so...

Demo rides are short, and the dealers an hour away, so despite my efforts some of what I've seen slips from memory. Can you help? While discussing BSA and 360 camera views our Tesla SA took us to some screen that showed sort of grey scale images of traffic as we passed it or it passed us. I...

I'm fairly committed to the MYLR and look forward to my order arriving in coming weeks. But before I make a mistake it would help to know what the car doesn't have. As you know Tesla doesn't give us much of a "Features on our cars" list (ok, I lied they don't have anything), and my SA is both...

Known of any? I'd sure like to get tan floor matts... Thanks, -d

With Elon no longer accepting messages at twitter, nor NorthAmericanMotors, how does one make a reasonable suggestion to Tesla?
