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

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!!!

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!!

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.

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

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!

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.

There is much discussion on the pros and cons of tires for these vehicles. I'd like to hear from Model Y owners regarding their real world experiences for actual tire mileage life. I see tires with high mileage warranties (with caveats, I know) but I'm wondering if anyone is actually getting more than 30K on a set of tires and if so, which tire. Specifically 19'' tires rotated per specifications. (I rotate at 5K).

Thanks in advance.

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?

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?

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!

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.

Thoughts and opinions are welcomed!

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’m looking to make the leap from gas to electric and am eyeing a Tesla, but I’d love some real-world feedback from drivers with hilly, curvy commutes before I pull the trigger on a specific trim.

My daily drive takes me up and over a winding mountain pass with noticeable elevation changes. Right now, I drive a 2020 Subaru Forester AWD. Despite the Forester’s high ground clearance (which you’d think might make it feel a bit floaty or top-heavy in tight turns), the traction control and symmetrical AWD system have been rock-solid. Even in heavy rain on steep, slick curves, it stays completely planted, and I never feel nervous about losing grip. It’s set a pretty high bar for wet-weather confidence, and it’s the main thing I know I’ll miss when moving on from ICE vehicles.

On paper, a Tesla seems like it should naturally handle well in the wet—the skateboard battery pack sits right on the floor, providing a low center of gravity and serious downward weight to help tires bite into the pavement. That said, for those who commute through wet, twisty mountain roads:

* Does the Dual Motor AWD make a noticeable difference in rainy conditions, especially when accelerating out of uphill corners?

* How does the traction control on the single-motor RWD feel on slick climbs and descents? Does it feel tail-happy or cut power too abruptly when wet?

* For anyone who specifically transitioned from a Subaru AWD to a Tesla RWD or AWD, how did the wet-weather handling compare?

Would love to hear your experiences before deciding whether the AWD upgrade is a must-have or just a nice-to-have for rain.

Edit: thanks for the info, y'all! I'm leaning toward RWD and all-weather tires. I live in Texas so I'm only concerned about rain, not snow.

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.
