After the self-service test drive I just couldn't stop thinking on buying one. The upgrade from the car I am dailying is massive (Fiat Panda 2018, 90km (55miles) /day).

I tested both the MY and the M3 but the M3's trunk wasn't what I was looking for and I felt way too close to the ground. Also, I loved how the new MY looks.

Decided to go with the LRMY AWD Ultra Red/black interior since I am tired of seeing these white/grey/black car roads.

In Switzerland, there is currently an offer that will last until Dec 31st for the LRMY (leasing) : 0% APR, CHF 4'000 bonus and 3 years free charge on Superchargers (30k KM limit/year). Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten a new car.

For now, I think I may buy it when the lease ends (we have that option here).

Looking forward to driving it.

Thoughts on ultra red?

Edit 1: My GF who hates driving also loved it, so that is another reason. Insurance : CHF 1900/year.

Just picked up my 2026 Model Y Performance, and I've been dealing with a frustrating steering wheel vibration whenever I drive above 70 mph.

I've already taken it to Tesla Service twice, and they still haven't been able to fix the issue.

Has anyone else experienced this with the new Model Y Performance? If so, did you ever find a solution? Was it related to wheel balancing, tires, alignment, or something else?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who's dealt with this and actually managed to get it fixed!

They already tried doing wheel balance but it didn't fix the problem.

I built Glovebox for my Model 3, and it should work the same on a Model Y since it uses the standard TeslaCam drive, but I haven't been able to test one. If anyone wants to try it, I'd be grateful for a report.

It's a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W that replaces your dashcam USB stick:

• Sentry and saved clips back up to your NAS automatically when you're home.
• Web app with all six cameras in sync, on your phone or computer.
• Encrypted clips supported (backed up, ready for dashcam.tesla.com).
• Keeps the car awake during the backup with a limited Bluetooth key that can't unlock or drive it.
• No cloud, no subscription.

I am seriously considering the move from a 2024 RWD LR Model 3 to a new Y. The reason is room, plain and simple. I love my Highland to death but it seems like I am always trying to get something to fit in the trunk that won’t. It’s also camping season here and a Model Y will come in handy.

What I think I would miss is the low cowl/hoodline, the buttery smooth ride on the 18’s, and the overall sexy looks of the Highland.

What I think I would gain is fantastic practicality and comfort.

Has anyone else here made the transition? If so, how has it been?

In latest 2026.38.5.1 and v14.3 Lite. I’ve noticed a few times over the last week or two, and I was on an earlier software as well for that, while in FSD with not much traffic around, the car will randomly put on its blinker, slow down, and pull over to the side of the road, as if an emergency vehicle was approaching from behind. In all of these cases, there was no emergency vehicle lights or sounds, or even any other traffic following closely behind or coming from in front in any dangerous way. Has anybody else noticed this?

Holy shit it can fly.

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!!

I've been going through a few threads of everyone advising to go to the app and ask for a overall inspection of the vehicle, and they all say it costs $100-$800. I'm in Southern California, so I'm looking at $500 (I attempted a few locations and they all gave me the same estimate).

I currently hear a knock from the rear of my car when I come to a full stop, I'm guessing it's the links going bad. With that said, is it worth it to pay the $500 and get everything checked, or should I just take it in for the knock sound? Btw, if everything is checked (inspection) and anything further is found - they fix it under warranty right?

FSD’d 90% home. It’s pretty neat. Love the adaptive high beams. My commute goes through a national forest where deer and hogs just spawn out of nowhere. Being able to still see all the trees on the side while passing an oncoming vehicle is so reassuring.

Front and rockers PPF and tinting getting installed tomorrow morning. I live off a dirt/rocky road. We booked directly with the partnered vendor and received 10% off the Tesla price.

Hello all, I’ve been searching for a used tesla and came across this one. 2022 clean title 35k miles for $24k
If anyone can help me with looking up the VIN much appreciated.
Should I go for it? Any advice? Anything else I should look into in this car?

One of my biggest complaints about Grok in Tesla is the lack of memory between sessions.
I actually enjoy using Grok, but it’s frustrating that every time I get back in my car, it’s like we’re starting from scratch. It doesn’t remember anything about me, my preferences, or our previous conversations.
I feel like having an AI assistant in your car should be about more than just answering random questions. It should learn your preferences over time, remember things you’ve discussed, and become more useful the longer you own the vehicle.
Imagine being able to pick up a conversation from your previous drive or having Grok remember your favorite destinations, interests, or how you like things done.
Without memory, it feels more like a novelty than a true personal assistant.
Anyone else bothered by this? Has Tesla mentioned any plans to introduce persistent memory for Grok?

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.

Has anyone had issues with their car suddenly not recognizing your phone as a key? I'm still able to unlock the car with the app on my phone, but I need the key card to get in and drive. I've tried disconnecting the phone's bluetooth and reconnecting, hard closing the app and re-opening it, restarting the car's software, removing my phone as a key and setting it up again, but still no luck. Any ideas or do I need a service appointment?

I toggled the Halloween update on to try it out for my kids. Turned it off because it wasn’t for me. After doing that, the car turned to the deep blue color. I tried rebooting the screen, going into software and selecting the default color… which is apparently the deep blue. My Tesla is a 2026 juniper. Any ideas? I have a service ticket for something else so I will probably just have them figure out why the factory display shows the deep blue instead of marine blue at that point.

I kept forgetting to plug in after errands, so I set up a little personal project with Tesla's official Fleet API. I'm not selling anything, it's just my own setup.

What it does:

Sets my charge limit every night based on my week: 80% on busy days, 60% otherwise.

When my phone disconnects from the car's Bluetooth at home, it checks the car once and pings me if I forgot to plug in.

How it works: I registered a free developer app, logged in through Tesla's OAuth, and paired a virtual key with the car so commands are signed. A free GitHub Pages site hosts the public key, so there's no server to run. I'm not using Fleet Telemetry, just on-demand API calls. It "costs" about $1 a month, which Tesla's $10 monthly credit covers.

I used an AI assistant to walk me through the setup, which made it a lot less painful than it sounds. Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to try it.

I switched to an AWD from a RWD because of the October 1st “refresh”, but I can’t find anywhere what exactly the updates consist of. I can’t see that my front and rear motor is still the 3DU. Supposedly the V2 manifold isn’t available in the US. I was excited to get the AWD because I felt like I would get more for my money with the silent refresh. I also asked my sales agent and called the service center for any concrete answers, but no luck. Any advice or does anyone know of any confirmed 2027 AWD upgrades? Mahalo

Suspension will still be crap though

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?)

Hi all,

Just purchased a CPO MY w/ HW4

First FSD drive home, mapped home which is normally 45 minutes.

Ended up taking 2 hours. FSD missed like every exit and finally just took over and drove home. Am i missing something? Had it on mad max but that’s the only thing I can think of that would make it miss exits. Please help!

Saw some MYPs and CTs on 183 in Lometa, Texas.

I have no idea why I thought it would be covered shipping when I ordered, but I did. Reminds me to check for any chips when I pick up my M3P next month!
