most relaxing traffic stop ever. was in chill mode and knew I didn’t do a thing wrong heck my car was driving. wasn’t playing on my phone either. turns out the cop could not see my temporary tag/plate in my rearview windshield. It was just trying to get dusk out the time of day made it hard.

She was super friendly apologized that it was so hard to see it. I said no problem. But the pure chill feeling knowing you were not speeding or doing anything crazy even accidently was amazing.

Holy shit it can fly.

Pulled the trigger yesterday and I’m super excited and I can’t wait to use FSD for my commute to work! First few items I plan to get:

1. Spigen OneTap | Screen Mount (Mag Fit) or should I get
   MagBak Phone Mount And Charger?

2. 15% Llumar FormulaOne Pinnacle tint all around

3. All floor mats (maybe 3W?)

I gotta say, not only do I love the Halloween mode, but I am most definitely going to engage it more throughout the year! I didn’t even know you could touch the screen in different parts and make it do things. People turn into skeletons. There’s more for you to find out.

The trick or treat mode is awesome, too! Now I don’t need to set a light show every few minutes when I am handing out candy. My kids were dancing near the front of the car when I took this picture.

Awesome update!!

he told me today if he can find good enough rates, he wants to trade in his truck for his own model Y.

I never thought I would see that day ever!!! as of a few weeks ago he was going to hold out for a cyber truck “someday” as of two weeks ago when I got my model Y and I thought that was huge.

and now he just said “ I don’t need a cyber truck or a truck I want my own model y too. These cars are just so amazing. I just want my own. “

🤯 another convert y’all!!!

24' MYP on Lightweight Forged Wheels. MPP Front/Rear Camber Arms, Coilovers.

Stek dyno purple PPF.

And before any comments, this wasn't some sort of 'investment' I did it because I wanted a purple car, and it looked amazing. Was 100% to make me smile every time I drive it...or it drives me... :D

Decided to move down to an 18” wheel from Martian with a 245/55r18 tire. Not many options in that size but these BFG’s are XL load rated and super smooth 😮‍💨

I was one of those people who despised EVs for whatever reason. I was foolish, ignorant and just plain hard headed. Now I see the light, the potential and the paradigm shift in how we view transportation in this country. ( USA, and globally)

One test drive was enough. The ease of making the appointment, the no hassle interactions with the representatives, how patient the advisor was with no pressure whatsoever to buy, a marked contrast from my years of interactions with dealers and the sharks that are infested in those God awful places. The FSD is truly a game changer. I was floored of how smooth and "human like" the driving was. There were times my butthole clenched up during the test drive not fully trusting the car, but after 20 minutes and seeing how it was effortlessly and smoothly it was going about its business, made me a believer. This is, literally, having a clean record chauffeur driving you around. Holy shiet. Ordering such a large purchase on a mobile phone still makes me baffled.

I just placed my very first EV, a MY Premium, and my very first brand new car. I'm excited, anxious, nervous and hopeful, all at the same time. And I'm happy to join this community of people who are knowledgeable, funny and resourceful. I hope i can contribute to this place over the years. There is a bit of wait but I'm hopeful. I'm glad to be here. And my phone battery is charged.

model y standard “dual motor”😭
the badge isn’t even placed right
annoyed me a little to much i guess, is it just me?

It seems like a lot of the options on any site or aliexpress, where most of these come from anyways, are using some new color variants. Earlier in the year there seemed to be more toned down silver color than the current options.

If you bought some many months back does that change seem to be true? If so and you aren't using or switched I am willing to buy! I like the look of the darker silver but just can't seem to find them except for the brighter silver version.

Ordered on 10/10 Y premium AWD white interior. Miami, FL.

Starting a new job with a long commute into downtown Miami. So excited for FSD!

I can’t decide between the 2026 Tesla Model Y Premium RWD or AWD, or White vs. Quicksilver!
I live in Georgia, so snow isn’t a big concern. Does anyone know if AWD increases insurance rates significantly? Is AWD worth the extra cost? Planning to keep it for 5+ years. Any advice is appreciated!

The reason popup after taking over from FSD is annoying. I end up tapping random options just to dismiss it—not giving accurate feedback.

Please let us disable the automatic prompt while keeping voluntary reporting available. I don’t know how Tesla uses these answers, but meaningless selections could add noise instead of helping improve FSD.

Anyone else doing this? Would you use an opt-out?

Suspension will still be crap though

lease is ending this december and vehicle currently at 32k miles, buyout quote estimate from santander is about $27,000; Considering that I would need to do title and Registration Fees? based in socal so say 10% then probably 30k out the door cost? is that okay deal?

I have to say the Tesla CPO buying process is unrivaled. The fact that I didn't have to wait 6hrs at the dealership so the finance manager could wear me down before finding six ways from Sunday to screw me, is refreshing. Pickup took less than a minute.

That said, I'm a bit torn. I'm really happy about being able to go places with as little drama as possible in quiet and comfort. I find myself no longer hesitant to take 1hr trips across town.

The Y is quick. But.... I just can't find myself getting excited about it as a car.

I'm a bit of a car guy, and I find it just so.... Boring. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. It's a little porky, and the steering lacks feedback. I find myself super hesitant in exploring the limits of its handling.

Would I be happier with a new juniper model instead? I was considering a used S Plaid but they are hard to find with HW4 and cost a bit more.

It solves 9/10 of the equation, which means it can't be my only car. I guess it's time to get a GT4 for the weekends.

My Model Y Juniper is only 2 weeks old and a few days ago it started making a noticeable buzzing/whirring noise from the temperature sensor area.

It sounds like a small fan spinning, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't making this noise when the car was new. I've checked it carefully and the noise is definitely coming from the fan around the interior temperature sensor.

Has anyone else had this happen? Did you manage to fix it somehow, or did Tesla have to replace the fan/sensor?

Just wondering if there's something simple I can try before booking a service appointment.

2021 Model Y owner, and the original low-voltage battery just started its failure process. Trying to get the car fixed ASAP, mobile service isn’t available in my area and local service locations aren’t offering convenient times.

I had AutoZone special order an EV-compatible Duralast battery to replace it myself, but I’ve heard that many have had trouble with compatibility for anything that isn’t the Hankook, Tesla-installed units.

Has anyone been able to get a non-Hankook battery to work as a DIY fix?

Thoughts and opinions are welcomed!

Had an alert that my 2024 model y needed the low voltage battery replaced. Tried to order one with not much luck. Finally called the authorized Tesla service center, was just going to buy the part, and install myself, but they insisted they do it. They put it in, noticed the code was still on, and figured I needed to reset it. Turned the car off and waited. Restarted, still has the error. Called them and told them the issue. They had me bring it back in. They messed with it for a bit and said they were going to order a new battery and try that.

Was told that Tesla could sometimes clear it remotely, by grok. Can't figure out how to get ahold of them.

Thoughts, ideas, solutions?
