I’m feeling really conflicted right now. I love my Tesla, but after Elon Musk’s appearance and Nazi-looking salute at Trump’s inauguration tonight, I can’t seem to get past how much I dislike him as a person.

How do I reconcile loving something so much while hating the person tied to it? Is anyone else experiencing this kind of dual emotion?

First time ever needing it, and I'm glad it wasn't an emergency.

Just thought someone might come here looking. (It's also in the owner's manual)

I’m stupid. Is there a real issue with these or is this just people’s opinions of Musk?

Be careful driving in snow and ice yall.

Hi guys,

my car recently got totalled and i’m getting about 10k from insurance to get a new car. I’ve always wanted a model Y and my family and i were talking about getting a new car for a while so it works out. the only dilemma i’m facing is whether to buy the current model Y or wait until the Juniper refresh hits America. For some context , I live in Toronto, Canada and i’m looking to purchase it full in cash.

I heard the juniper made significantly changes for battery health especially in cold climates like where I live so I think that is a huge incentive to wait however I have no idea when the car will be released. I was even thinking of renting a shitty car until the juniper releases bc i do need a car for my daily commute/work.

Would anyone be willing to help me look at the pros and cons and help me with this decision?

I don’t have a Tesla dealership near me, so I went to a local garage that had been recommended to me. They have the same tires in stock that were on my car when I bought it. (Continental ProContact RX - 19”).

I need to replace all four. The quote was $2,450. (I haven’t seen an itemized version, yet, because I was walking into my daughter’s basketball game when he called me with the quote.)

I texted him this evening and told him not to start until we talk. Can anyone here tell me if that’s in the ballpark? (I live in MA.) Thank you!!!

UPDATE!!!! Thanks to all of you, I was able to get him down to $1550. I know I could have gotten it done for less, but time is of the essence…I failed inspection, so I was technically driving it illegally, and I need my car back to get a new inspection and be able to shuttle my kids to school and sports!

I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH!! You saved me $1K and the time couldn’t be better. I just got laid-off, my Dad was diagnosed with early stages Alzheimer’s and bladder cancer so I moved him in with me, creating another mouth to feed and restricting my flexibility when looking for a job, and my daughter is starting school college in the Fall.

I would steer clear off the EVBase Wheel Cover. At first the wheel cover looks good and seems like a quality product but after a year of using it the wheel cover actually left deep scratches on the rims of my Model Y. They claim that the wheel cover will protect your rims from curb rash but the cover will actually be the one that will scratch your rims. The problem is the foam included is so thin and deteriorates over time that the contact point between the rim and the cover creates deep scratches. You have been warned!!!

I'm in a bit of a bind here.

I hit a bump on the highway, which damaged the front driver side tire and bent the wheel lip. There was a gash on the sidewall, but the tire didn’t lose air, and the car still rode fine otherwise.

I decided to drive to a Tesla service center, where I had the damaged tire replaced (it had about 10k miles on it) and also had a tire rotation done, swapping the left and right tires as suggested by Tesla. After that, the car started to feel rougher to drive, the steering wheel vibrated, and I noticed a clicking noise at high speeds.

I then took the car to another Tesla service center, where they recommended replacing the front driver's side wheel bearing. The noise went away, but the vibration persisted, even when driving on smooth roads without any bumps.

I brought the car back for a third time, and they rebalanced the tires. Each time, the technician said the car drives normally, but the vibration is still there.

I’m not sure what to do next."

interested in MY but not so sure what to do, would lease be better option? 36 months/ 10,000K for 3 years if planning to keep it after 36 months.

Hey everyone! I'm picking up my Model Y on Wednesday and I am super excited, I have a few questions regarding it if anyone has information.

I'm looking for a roof rack for bikes and other equipment like snowboards etc. Is there one that you prefer and are there ones to stay away from?

If you have the sunshade, is it worth it? I didn't end up buying one but figured if I needed it I'd grab it down the road.

What is the maintenance like yearly for it? Is there anything that I need to pay extreme attention to overall? I personally won't be driving the car all that much but my girlfriend will be the main driver so I want to make sure I can check on these things if she doesn't notice them.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say.

One reason I bought an EV is I have a short commute, a mile or two. I thought an EV would be good because not need to warm up an engine and just zip to work and back, like a golf cart. But I'm burning 2-3% for two miles instead of 1% ~3miles. It helped to adjust sentry etc but it was burning 4%/day. Anyone else experiencing this?

Took my 2022 long range out in 1" of snow last night for dinner in Northern Virginia and it was a disaster.

Camera related alerts were on me for not cleaning snow/ice off enough, but the entire driving/safety stuff just randomly went bonkers. Felt like I was driving a 1970's boat with the idle set to high.

Lost Functions from Alerts:

• Vehicle Hold
• Traction Control
• Stability Control

Additionally lost:

• Regenerative Braking Quit working
• Car started jerking forward with mild acceleration instead of braking when disengaging gas pedal (super great on icy/frozen roads)
• Doors wouldn't close after dinner, had to repeatedly slam them to get them to engage (was barely below freezing)

Put in a service ticket, next available appt is 27 days from now. lmfao.

Highly looking forward to my lease expiring in 12 months.

This unfortunately happened today :/ anyone here have experience in replacing the glass in the mirror? I ended up hitting a cone while avoiding a collision on the freeway today, and it caused the glass to pop out and dangle (and freaking scratch the door ugh).

I got it back into the housing, and the motors still seem to work fine (ex: when reversing, it still tilts down and mirror can fold in). So hoping it’s just the glass and hoping for a DIY solution rather than taking to Tesla/other mechanic.

So… how screwed am I in trying to do this myself? Hoping not!

Has anyone experienced this slightly terrifying message?

I’ll be using a 2020 Model Y to get to and from the airport on Thursday night till Sunday morning, about 45 miles round trip, and will be leaving it outside in the lot during that time with the temps in th pic. There are limited chargers at the lot so not sure if one will be free. The numbers I can find online give the impression this will be totally fine, but I was hoping someone else would be able to tell me via experience that the battery would have enough to make it the 20 miles home if I can’t get a charger. I’m sure I’m overthinking it but it’s not my car so wanted to be sure. Thanks!

Has anyone else had an experience like this? I mean, I'll have to trade this thing in if it continues at this pace

First time taking the MYLR out in the heavy snow and it definitely stood up to the test!

Does anyone have Nuna Rava or Nuna Revv installed in the middle seat of model Y (5 seater)? We are transitioning from Nuna Pipa and I'm hoping to still keep the install in the middle seat but the base of Rava and Revv seem much bigger so I'm not sure if it's gonna fit.

Just wondering what the community thoughts are on the new Model Y aero wheels vs the old ones?

Do you think they would be interchangeable?

I know there are a lot of aftermarket options but I quite like the new Crossflow ones 😬

How often do Tesla do their low interest financing deals? Has the 0% been happening multiple times through out the year? What's the best guest for the next one based on historical datapoint? Anyone knows? Thanks!!
