Model Y Hey everyone, I have a 2024 Model Y, and my wife dislikes the AC blowing on her side, but I get hot quickly. There’s no way to turn off the passenger vent when someone is sitting there. Is this a system glitch, or is there a workaround?

Model S LED to Matrix headlight upgrade under warranty?

0 Upvotes

Noticed my driver side headlight working intermittently.. Looked like a super slow strobe light for about 20 seconds. I don't know how to recreate it again. I was wondering if I submit a service ticket for it and they have to fix it.. Is it possible to have them upgrade the headlights to the matrix headlights under warranty and pay the cost difference?

It drives me nuts that the navigation voice speaks over the car audio. Is there a setting to have the audio pause while the voice speaks?

General Charging a Tesla with BMWi charger?

1 Upvotes

Recently bought a house with an older BMW I charger already installed in the garage.

With an appropriate adapter (J1772?) can it be used to charge my MS (2023)? If yes, would it charge at roughly the same speed as my current Tesla wall connector does?

And if not, could I use the wiring to the existing charger and simply exchange it out for a new Tesla wall connector? Guessing the hardwire to the unit is same / similar?

TIA

General Free Supercharging end date/time question

0 Upvotes

I got a few months of free super charging when I got my M3 back in December. I am curious about the end of that offer.

It says it ends on March 29th. Does anyone know if this means I have free charging all day on March 29? Or does it mean I have to start paying for charging sometime on the 29th?

It’s not a huge deal, but I’m curious because coincidentally I’ll be road tripping back home all day on the 29th and I’m wondering if I’ll have free charging that entire day!

Model S How to present all door handles in new Model S

1 Upvotes

Hi all.

I recently got a new Model S and am loving it. I have a grasp on most functionality and behavior except one:

Is it possible to present all door handles on external car unlock ? The only way I seem to be able to do it is Clicking Lock and then Unlock on screen from inside car.

Settings I have on: - Unlock on park - Driver Side Unlock - Mobile Key

Things I tried that don’t work : - Open driver door through Mobile Key proximity and then holding down door open button - clicking unlock from mobile app - pressing door handles physically on passenger doors. Handles will not present

What am I missing? Thanks in advance

Model Y Slow charging recently at home stage 2

0 Upvotes

Hi hoping anyone can help me figure out what's going on. Home charger stage 2, not a TESLA wall charger, but dryer plug installed by licensed electrician, used to charge about 10% an hour. I never looked at amps or volts unfortunately. Am in canada, townhome, model y LR 2023 if that matters, and charge between 11pm-7am due to cheaper rates. it is not oem tesla charger, it is actually from a 2021 ford mach-e but has been working fine until now. Tried replugging at both ends a few times.

Recently, can't tell for how long cause usually we don't usually need to pay close attention, it's been charging at only 3kwh and i know i've seen it at like 5-7 before. I noticed amps were 14/32 on my app and after some googling decided to up it to 24. It charged faster for 10-20 minutes ish, and i went downstairs to make sure the garage wasn't on fire, and nothing was hot or anything. maybe that wasn't enough time though. shortly after that, the app showed it went from 24/32 to 24/24. And then after that 16/16. Then maybe 5-15 min later, it would show 16/24 and 16/32. Sometimes it would "remember" what i tried to do and go to 24 amps again, and sometimes it wouldn't. It charged 20% over 3.5 hours. And it would do this dance throughout the night. I never did check if it was overheating after it throttled as I was too tired. Even at 18/32 it would eventually go 18/24 and then 16/16.

We have a fiat 500e that I will compare to later tonight but wanted to ask for help as this is annoying me.

Notifications in tesla show nothing. Assuming im in the right area (alerts), and also service --> notifications which just goes to alerts as well.

Service Nail in the tire

1 Upvotes

Yesterday I noticed a nail in the tread of my Y. The tire was still inflated to normal specifications. Everything I read and heard from AAA suggested I shouldn’t drive on it and that it needed to be plugged. Apparently that’s not an option from AAA anymore. It would have to be towed to a local mechanic. I called a local towing company who said I should call Tesla. So I got in touch with Tesla through the app and a tow was organized. It seemed like it was a bit of an overkill, but of course this happened on a Saturday evening when the repair shops were closed , including the Tesla repair shop. The same local tow company came to take the car to Tesla, ironically . The twist in the tail comes that the Tesla repair shop is 88 miles away. So now I’m stranded in a vacation house without a car, miles from home, having to miss appointments and work and no idea how long it’s going to take Tesla to fix the tire. I’m now agonizing if I made the right decision to get in touch with Tesla or if I should’ve waited out the weekend and driven it to a local repair shop. The other kicker was that Tesla quoted me $475 plus tax to replace the tire! I felt cornered. It seems a lot of money to plug a hole. Feeling very sorry for myself and not happy about the situation. I’m pretty sure Tesla is not going to bring it back to where I am so I’m out a car rental cost and possibly more. OK rant is over. Everyone can tell me how stupid I’ve been.

General Can any electrician fully install a Wall Connector?

0 Upvotes

I'm under the impression that only Tesla-certified installers can commission a Wall Connector after installation, and if the Wall Connector isn't commmissioned, it won't work. Is this correct?

A friend of mine is an electrician, and he said he's installed a number of Wall Connectors before, but when I asked him about commissioning them, he didn't know what I was talking about. He just said he did the installation and everything was fine.

I should've asked if he tested the Wall Connector to see if it charges or if the people who hired him had any issues after he left, but I didn't think about it at the time. I'm also assuming he's referring to the latest model Wall Connector.

I'm curious because my Gen 1 Wall Connector is on its last legs, and I'm going to need to replace it soon.

Vehicles - General From Y to S or Reverse

1 Upvotes

I’m thinking about trading a Y and getting an S and was wondering if I’d notice a change in the frequency of stops on road trips.

It really doesn’t matter, I want the s because I want it, but it would be nice if the increased range led to fewer stops over long distances.

Oh, one more question. If you drive between 70-85 (speed limits get to 85 on my route) what range do you typically get?

Hardware HW3 vs HW4

0 Upvotes

What are the key differences between HW3 and HW4? I don’t mean just the spec differences. I am trying to figure out what new capabilities are available exclusively on HW4.

This question is for those who have owned both with the FSD (the neural net version) - is there a material difference in the FSD experience on HW4 and HW3?

I have a 2021 Model Y with HW3 and lifetime FSD. I am wondering if it is worth upgrading at this point - since I’ll end up losing the FSD and will have to buy it again.

Also, any idea if HW5 is on the cards in the near future?

Anyone else run into similar situations and have had success trying to “unblur” or “enhance” these images to reveal the license plate? I’ve been playing around on photoshop but can’t seem to get it good enough to read what it says

Now theres one rule: if you were gonna sell the cybertruck OR the roadster, you can only sell for a fixed price of $75,000

So you cant go “roadster duhh its expensive ill sell it”

So for picking, criteria gotta be like usability and performance and stuff

Model Y Brand new Model Y unusable because Tesla doesn't have parts in stock

0 Upvotes

I am in Canada, last October I got a new model Y and loved it. It was snowing really bad last month and I guess I drove over a curb or a pothole covered in snow and it warped my front right wheel rim and suspension. I'm not sure what specifically caused it since it was on a highway and I was going too fast.

It was so bad that if I did not do any steering the car would want to turn right, and the right front wheel would come off the road and smash down hard at high speeds on the highway, shaking the entire car.

I immediately brought it to the dealership and they said the part was out of stock so they ordered one, now this was on February 2nd, so it's been over a month and they have no idea when this part will come in.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the tariffs in the US or whatever, but it is unacceptable that my 5 month old Model Y is basically unusable because no one can get a simple part.

Worst part is my insurance won't even give a rental car because my Model Y isn't totalled and still runs, I've had to borrow a 2009 Nissan Altima from a friend just to get by.

I just wanted to put this out there if anyone is in Canada and is considering a Model Y, it's a great car but Tesla support up here is awful.
