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.

Went to the supermarket, opened the trunk and heard a pop when the trunk closed again. It wouldnt open after that. Opened it manually at home and turns out the liftgate actuatior bolt completely snapped off 😮 see pictures.

Anyone else had this happen? Is it because of the hard suspension/tires of t
he MYP?

I can close the trunk fully, so on Monday I’m driving to the service center. I assume they can remove the remainder of the bolt and have to change the bolt only.

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?

Looking into purchasing a Model Y Premium, main reason being gas prices and FSD. I have a 1-1.5 hr commute in LA region

Can I use my brother who is law enforcement to get the American Heros discount and a coworker to refer me for the 3 months FSD?

What other discounts would be available? I have never owned an EV car I currently drive a 2012 accord

Has anyone used the Goodyear MaxLife 2 tires on their Juniper? Wondering how to compare to OEM Parelli Scorpions in sound dampening and ride comfort. Can anyone pls share their experience?

Thanks.

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?

2024 Tesla Model Y Performance. I understand that the advertised range is not what you get, but is there something wrong with my car? According to this my total range at 100% would be 186.7 miles which is absolutely awful.

Any advice?

I have a weird problem, got the car brand new - there was some slight noise from the left front wheel, like a humming sound barely noticable. Like a wheel bearing but not that loud... I was thinking it's tyre noise, however now I switched to new tyres and the noise is still there....

You can even feel it in wheel like a slight,vibration, very,very slight... it starts as soon as the car is moving, no matter the speed...

Anyone had issues like that, how to present it to tesla support?

Thanks!

Holy shit it can fly.

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?

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 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

Ordered Sept 22
Received VIN and scheduled delivery on Oct 8

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.

I’m picking up a new model Y premium today. I noticed in the paperwork that it has 15 miles in the odometer. Is this normal? Nearest Tesla center is two hours away so I will have to drive two hours to get there.

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?
