    Driving with J1772 adapter in charge port

    I would’ve thought it would at least complain about the charging door being open, even if it let you drive. That being said, there is a product, being advertised quite a bit by the “Now you know” channel on YT, the “EVject.” The goal is a breakaway connection so that you can drive away if you...

    Model Y 5G wifi

    Brings back memories… especially of a situation where I tried to plan to beat Ruby weapon, only for it to trash my plans at the start… and even though I had given up and left the game to play on its own since I no longer had any control… it actually won for me.

    TPMS on non factory wheels

    Some fake products are designed to look exactly like OEM. Similarly, some products are made in the same way, or even on same production lines OEM are, but just unbranded. There may be some reason or another why it isn't sold as branded though. Anyway, I can't say for certain they are fake or...

    TPMS on non factory wheels

    135 for all 4? Dang... I paid 95+tax EACH for mine. It could be that one is failing or somehow interfering with each other.

    TACC doesn't work correctly after the 2024.14.8 update

    Faster way: voice command "bug report..." add the issue you're having. Preferably immediately after the issue occurs.

    Have you tried just setting all of them to 42 psi cold and drive for a while?

    Lane lines no longer show after software (2024.44.8) update

    Eh, are you sure it's 2024.44.8? I thought the numbers were supposed to represent "year.week (of year).version." Which means 44 is supposed to be the 2nd or 3rd week of November and we're still in May. Is your version maybe 2024.14.8 instead? Have you checked for a vertical line to the left of...

    Would you Purchase a model Y Again?

    Considering the conversation I had with my brother-in-law earlier, I think this is a bigger issue with the region and the mentality. He told me that his daughter/my niece (goes to college in VT) was super pissed at him because he and my sister just traded in one of their SUVs, which was...

    Based price in invoice

    Some rules are how it's spec'd from the factory, including "standard" and even optional items and whatever. So it doesn't matter what the "base" price is. In this case, neither says "base" price. The reality is that one is price for the body ("Model Y") and the other is priced for the platform...

    USB MUSIC RESOLVED

    The thing about USB is that its supposed to be forward and backwards compatible. Meaning even if the car only supports USB 2, the drive should still be able to run as a USB 2 device, even if it supports USB 3 speeds. The maximum is always true, no matter if we're talking about the car or PCs...

    Unreliable [music] USB mounting on startup after sleep?

    I've mentioned this in other threads, but up until recently, I had to deal with this pretty much every day. One characteristic I noticed was that it would be 24+ hours between occurrences most of the time. Meaning if it happened at 4 pm today, then next day would occur on the first drive after 4...

    iPhone 15 pro “always on” as Tesla key advantage vs regular iPhone 15??

    Neither my sister, nor her husband have iphone 15s and both use their phones (iphone13? older?) with their MYLR without issue (except for a bit last month). So... I'm guessing, rather than the service folks, maybe you're misinformed and the real issue is something else?

    Considering 245/40/19

    Take a trip to one of their locations? (CT, if OP from Montreal). But, it's more likely to just google another online shop that serves "Canukstan" and has the tires. example: Search Tires - Search the Tires of Your Dreams in Edmonton How about Costco...

    Auto park/summon

    What was the point of you signing up onto this forum? Isn't the point to keep yourself informed? So, if you had checked every so often, you would've known this has happened since last year when they removed USS.

    Turn signal update?

    Kinda both. I want to turn, but it won't even move into the turning lane.

    Turn signal update?

    Not sure if this is related, but I also have x.14.6 (with FSDS trial), and if I drive normally, my signal does the full auto-cancel (on until I finish lane changing or turning). But if I have FSD on, then the signal is the 3 blinks it stops. The reason I'm not sure its related is because FSD...

    FIXED in 2024.14.6!

    So far, with 2024.14.6, I've only encountered the issue where it won't resume music playback from USB once, effectively a whole week. Prior to this update I was most consistently having to use the voice command to "switch USB" to get it to resume playback once per day. There were some updates...

    Strange Phone Key behaviour

    I've already stated the steps taken. And I've also said it could just as easily be fixed by things we have no control over. Is it really that hard to accept?

    Hard emergency brake for plate in the road

    Unfortunately, this kind of thing isn’t limited to Tesla. My (traded in) Honda HR-V with sensors would do the same thing when it “detects” a plate. My guess is the sensors and even “Vision” in Teslas can’t ready be sure what the object is, since it can’t be sure it’s not a car, it’s better to...

    disable sentry mode at home disables USB drive

    Yesterday, was the first time in a LONG time, where it just resumed playback without me having to do anything. Otherwise, it "normally" greets me with the spinning circle (and no music). In my case, I do have Sentry ON, so it shouldn't be an issue related to waking from sleep. Assuming it can't...

    Strange Phone Key behaviour

    I didn't mention it, but like my brother-in-law, I did go through the same situation... but it was a while ago. Let me add a little bit extra info, he has an iPhone and I have a Samsung phone. And possibly related, he has his MYLR set to standard updates while I have mine set to advance (he has...

    Please explain software branches

    I would guess that, at least in part, one branch is more "experimental" than the other, related to the "advance" vs "standard" option in the car's menu. Advanced would have features that might not be ready for prime time, either it isn't as stable as they'd like or even potentially removed...

    Strange Phone Key behaviour

    Well, he told me what he did and when he did it... and between the last time it fail to when it "fixed itself," he said he didn't do anything. And that was why he thought I did something.

    Strange Phone Key behaviour

    My brother-in-law had the same issue with his MYLR for a couple of days midweek. At first he used the card to start, then used the start button in the app after I mentioned it (was actually second time, but I guess he forgot since it was a while ago). Up until then, he had tried re-pairing the...

    Model Y range question

    279? That sounds like the range of the Model Y that had the 4680 battery. If yours does have that size battery, then it’s normal.

    Oil leak at rear of '23 MYP

    It could be a coolant leak. As for colors… from what I remember a long time ago, transmission fluid was indeed reddish when I poured some for a car that leaked it. Motor oil was transparent gold when fresh and slowly turned brown/black after some time being used. Green reminds me of coolant...

    2024.14.6 problem

    Then isn't also true that the fact it occurred immediately after you left it roasting in the sun wouldn't be a coincidence to you? And that it was fine after everything got cooler?

    2024.14.6 problem

    Maybe consider getting and using some sun shades? Sounds more like the MCU got roasted rather than an issue with 14.6, since I also have 14.6.

    Tire losing air

    I would think if the leak is too slow, it probably won't show up in a reasonable amount of time.

    Backwards tire?

    They’re the ones that get devoured though…

    Backwards tire?

    I dunno about that, I’m pretty sure manufacturers have the option of keeping symmetrical tread patterns while changing the compounds to make it asymmetric. In some unknown reason to reuse tread machines. This is why I would specifically look for any kind of “outside” label imprinted on the tire.
  37. G

    Backwards tire?

    It isn’t necessarily that it’s “non-directional,” but specifically “asymmetric.” They’re rarer now, but there tires that are both are non-directional and non-asymmetric tires. Like @Skavatar mentioned, the kind that has white lettering on one side, for aesthetics. Conversely, you can have...

    Why can’t GPS be used to calibrate the speedometer?

    You mean except through the process of using how fast the motor spins, multiplied by the drive/final ratio and then the tire diameter? Of course there’s the occasional times where GPS might lose the signal and get errors because of processor delays… Your “proof” is based on an assumption.
  39. G

    Why can’t GPS be used to calibrate the speedometer?

    So, there was something I read (or saw?) a while ago, don’t remember if it was an article, forum post or even YT video, but the basic idea is this: The manufacturers, not just Tesla, purposely report a higher speed on the speedometer than you are actually going so that even if your speed varies...

    MY 2024 Headlights not fully Illuminated

    It’s to hide the dragon about to breathe fire on you… or avoid blinding oncoming drivers, supposedly.

    Wheels/tires directional?

    Tires are not directional, there’s no preference in which way they spin when driving. They are asymmetrical, so it does matter when mounting onto the wheel (so that one side always faces towards the center of the car, no matter where the wheel mounts onto the car). Did you leave your car...

    The Modern Spare tire doesn't secure in the trunk, or does it?

    Not sure why you'd think that. Tesla isn't doing anything outside the norm concerning the spare, since so many other makers are doing the same thing. Putting a spare in the sub-trunk area requires mounting hardware and just enough padding to avoid anything damaging/warping over time. That's an...

    The Modern Spare tire doesn't secure in the trunk, or does it?

    It would eat into the cargo area and require making the seats “thicker” so the back would be level when folded down. And cargo is one of many stats that do matter to people. And that’s knowing the size of the Modern/Stance spare… they might even need a wider spare based on some regulation or...

    VIN / Window Sticker Discrepancy

    Technically, I’m a stockholder too… all of 11 shares, bought recently. I’m just throwing out possibilities. But the fact of the matter is, I don’t know. Based on this thread (https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/what-motor-does-your-2023-model-y-have.293314/), I know that, at least some of...

    VIN / Window Sticker Discrepancy

    Maybe parts of it started assembly in Austin and the VIN was assigned, then it was shipped to Fremont for the literal "final assembly. Could be done as a way to balance output... maybe one plant is faster at making certain parts that supply both. If you think about it, a Model Y is mostly...

    VIN / Window Sticker Discrepancy

    Are you sure you’re looking at the right letter A? If it’s the 3rd spot, that’s part of the 3 digit manufacture code, likely 7SA. If it’s in the 11th spot, then that’s the plant location. Everything up to the 11th digit is part of the car’s “loadout” ID, nothing particularly identifying. The...

    Playing own music in 2024 Model Y

    Are you sure about that? Since 2021-ish Model years, Tesla only provides power for the console USB ports. Only the port in the glovebox allows for data. The manual has a note for this Of course, there are 3rd party products you can install to modify this.
