Tesla can put thrusters in cars and flip them all about but I can't have Halloween mode with my Intel chip Model Y. I don't understand their priorities. Screw you Musk!

I bought a car from my couch and didn’t deal with any annoying dealerships or salespeople. It was surreal and so easy. I picked the color, interior and specs I wanted without browsing what’s on a lot or available. When I saw that hedgehog my stomach dropped. It was almost too easy. I almost want to cancel it now. But the reality is I get like 15mpg in my bronco and it’s just incredibly uncomfortable to drive. I hope I made the right choice.

Suspension will still be crap though

Holy shit it can fly.

I got sick of waiting for the Halloween update to get a cool Halloween wrap for the app. So I made one for myself. With Blackjack. And Hookers. Anyway, here it is. You can use it if you want. It is for the older body model.

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.

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!!

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.

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?

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 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!

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

Hi everyone! I’m in NC & wanted to get my Tesla wrapped. I don’t really like satin so I was aiming towards gloss instead, any ideas on prices? Google was pretty vague

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?

Own a 2023 MY that has curb rashes all around.
Picking up 2027 MY in a few days.
Do the new models (2026+) still suffer from curb rashes?
Any suggestions for aftermarket wheel caps that help with curb rashes and also look good?

Happened at a slow speed when backing out of the parking. I was looking at the back camera and occupancy and not the actual mirror 😖🥲

Mirror tilting up and down is okay, but cant fold the mirror. Does it need a replacement? First time dealing with this 🙏

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?

Not even custom what I want but in California we have a white and black license plate option. I always get the white but this time I would like the black. I'm waiting for a delivery date but I can't recall if the ordering process gave the option for the selection of the license plate. Your thoughts.

Hey yall im receiving the base MODEL Y soon and i was wondering if theres any gadgets or accessories that would be necessary for the car! It could be anything that you guys found helpful. Mainly off Temu or Amazon

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.

I didn’t realize there were tint options other than basic tint. Wanted yalls opinion on if it really is worth to invest in xp plus? I’m a female and just didn’t want to get my eyes poked. Here is one of those quotes I got. Thanks in advance!

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.
