    Should Tesla offer $15 Cdn monthly subscription for Acceleration Boost ?

    Now that Tesla is offering $99 Cdn monthly subscription to FSD in Canada, how many of us would be interested in Tesla offering a $15 Cdn monthly subscription for Acceleration Boost ? I would subscribe to a monthly acceleration boost more so than subscribing to FSD.

    I need advice on dealing with an accident in Canada.

    Since the insurance company ruled in your favour and you are not at fault, read the conditions on how long you have in terms of getting your car fixed. If you have 1 year or longer to get your car fixed then maybe wait for a while and see if it still bothers you 3 months later. Maybe there will...

    For me. the % accuracy rate drops significantly if I am waiting at a delayed dedicated left turn lane with the 2 lanes to my right going straight. The green light chime goes off when the light changes green for the 2 lanes going straight even though my delayed left turn light is still red.

    Today was the 2nd snowfall in Vancouver this season. I had to drive early around 8am before the snow plows were deployed. it was my typical 50+ km drive east towards the valley. Total white out and couldn’t see 10 feet in front of me with all the blowing snow. Several issues I noticed. 1. It was...

    Accident averted, but that leaves more unanswered questions.

    I created a service ticket after my rear ender via the app. It took 2 months for Tesla to call me after I sent a few reminders via the chat window that they started thru the app. On the phone call, they told me the speed I was going, the sequence of actions that took place, when I pressed the...

    Accident averted, but that leaves more unanswered questions.

    I rear ended someone a while back in my 3. The car in front of me slammed their brakes and I rear ended them. I messaged Tesla and asked why AEB didn’t come on. Tesla investigated and called me by phone and explained to me what they saw from the cars electronic data. They said I pressed the...

    How to quickly defrost windshield while driving?

    Thanks for taking the picture. What I was hoping my Y would do is to have the defrost icon stay on (the icon button to the right of the auto icon button) , and at fan speed 1. But I think I understand now that the left column icon you chose with the arrow blowing up also acts as a defogger...

    How to quickly defrost windshield while driving?

    @sleepydoc : “You can also go into the climate control panel and manually decrease the fan speed after turning on defog/defrost.” Can you try this when you have time and let me know if the front defogger stays on? Thanks. I would like my defogger to stay on fan speed 1. If I have my friend’s...

    How to quickly defrost windshield while driving?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to have front defogger on blue status but on fan speed 1 ? Mine only stays on fan speed 5 at all times in auto mode. When the windshield is completely defogger it still stays on fan speed 5 and never adjusts down. When turning off auto mode, it turns off...

    Seat durability?

    Some pictures of the Basenor seat covers. My original seats are black. But if your dogs go out and get dirt all over their paws and are often wet, then a proper car dog cover may be better. They have them on Amazon and Costco.

    Seat durability?

    It goes over existing seats. For the rear seats, the covers are very thick and the auto fold down seat function no longer works for me because the seats are wedge against each other too tight. Manually folding down still works for me. There are some videos online on how to strap on tightly and...

    Seat durability?

    I bought the Basenor seat covers from Amazon. Very thick fake leather. I experienced damage on my driver seat on my 3 With no covers installed. The Basenor covers are very thick and I am no longer worried about accidental damage from my cell phone case corners/belt clips.

    Software update is stuck and Tesla Service says they can't do anything.

    I find that my updates always hang at 50% for hours to days when I am connected to newer ISP modems that have both 5 g and 2.4 g and when I am in my garage. But when I use an 8 year old linksys 4 port wireless router, and have it about 10 feet away from my car using both power and RJ45...

    Left Back Seat - not folding

    Any aftermarket seat covers installed that make the seat thicker and pressed firmly against each other? After I installed my Basenor leather seat covers, my auto fold down seats won’t even budge without me forcing them down. When you flip the auto fold down switches in the trunk, do you hear a...

    High Frequency Noise/Hum-New Model Y

    I always had the high pitch noise and SC didn’t fix even after a few visits. Then a few weeks ago, I installed rubber seal strips on all 4 doors, B pilla, frunk and trunk. Now I can hear the high pitch noise for most of my highway drive everyday. The slightest acceleration even for a fraction of...

    Faux leather sealant?

    I‘ve used Carpro Pearl on my Basenor White Faux Leather Seats and it works well. Dirt transfer wipes off easily. It can also be used on dashboard, side door, and on tires. Different dilutions with water gives different gloss and protection. Amazing long lasting on dash and side doors. 1 litre...

    I had my delivery canceled about 4 hours before pick up. The excuse was that the car was still stuck at the border. I had to reschedule for 3 days later which I then successfully complete the delivery.

    Unable to patch Goodyear Eagle F1 T0

    Just an update for everyone. I bought a plug kit but didn't have a jack/lift to remove the tire or get enough working space since it was the rear 20" wheel. If it was the front, I may have been able to do it by turning the wheel for better access/angle. I ended up taking it to Kal Tire. They...

    Unable to patch Goodyear Eagle F1 T0

    I just found a screw in my Goodyear Eagle F1 T0 on my 2022 Y. The tires have been driven 8000 Kms. No leak but I wiggled it a bit and heard the air spewing out and pushed the screw back in. I was a 5 minute drive to Costco. Cost told me they can't patch the Goodyears Eagle F1 T0 because they...

    Awful delivery today

    I would rejected the car. When I bought my 3, I took possession without even doing a 10 second walk through. I lucked out and the quality was good. When I got my MYLR5, I did a walk through and found several issues and said to myself, no big deal, I'll just get it fixed with a service call...

    Walk away lock still not working properly after 4 years

    I don’t think there is an easy way for you to check yourself. I had mobile service come and didn’t watch the process as I stayed in my office working. I assume they removed the front driver seat leather wrap because when the repair was done, the leather wasn’t tight and firmly stretched edge to...
