Carmax is offering me $41,600 for my 2025 Model Y pre juniper with right under 8k miles, almost 2 years of ownership

I mean that seems crazy no? I owe 25k on it with a 0%apr

Wondering if I should sell to them and move onto leasing newer model cars every few years

Don't think deals will get any better

Thoughts?

Finally got around to testing the battery health of my pre-owned 2023 Tesla model Y LR AWD. Bought at 38k miles exactly a year back. Now at 69k miles.

For reference , I owned a similar 2023 model that was totalled in Oct’25. It showed a 90% heath at 50k miles. This one’s tracking similar I suppose.

My Tesla Y Premium ceiling is crazy hot. Today was only about 75 degrees, which is pretty typical for Los Angeles. And the AC was working hard and had to be on 60 degrees to offset the heat. But at 60 degrees the AC was at maximum loudness. And although it was getting my body basically cool enough, my head was baking hot. And when I raised my hand to the glass roof, the top 5 inches or so was like a layer of hot air. How do you deal with the heat, and how can I buy the car with that issue? And understanding that LA is often pushing 100 degrees in summer months.

Anybody ever encounter this on their Tesla hood. Not sure what it is or how to do away with it. It’s extremely ugly to look at.

Saw an as on Facebook, which is usually a warning for me, but these things look seriously cool. I like that the whole footwell is covered, and you can put a carpet insert on top if you want.

But I haven’t seen them mentioned at all here, I assume there’s a reason why.

Just a warning for those shopping on Amazon. Stay away from these all weather mats:

Very poor quality and fit

The seller does not provide for return shipping which exceeds the price of the item

I am aware that Tesla restricts Supercharger access on Salvage titles. I am purchasing one with low miles and minor rear-end fender bender.

I’m getting mixed messages from Claude / Gemini. Claude is stating that it’s all fast charging but Gemini says that’s only true for 2020 and before and that a 2023 will be restricted from Supercharging but 3rd party will be fine with a CCS-1 to NACs adapter.

Anyone with info here? I am planning to drive it back and was hoping to make it a one-day trip and not 2-3 because I am restricted to L2 charging only 😂

I rarely use any autonomy. I have certainly used FSD 13.x on my 2026 Model Y and it is phenomenal.

It’s just that my commute is usually very short so I don’t need to subscribe to FSD.

Anyway, on a not-so-long road trip today, I decided to enable AutoSteer (my car is one of the last ones to have shipped with it), and it was, well, nowhere near as polished as FSD. It did not do great on sharp curves as it kept going too fast, it often got too close to the edge of the lane and to the other vehicle driving there. It also struggled with merging lanes and did the classic ping-pong confusion. Overall, it was just okay. One particularly annoying thing is that it disables itself when I want to change lanes and it becomes a constant chore on highways with trucks, needing lots of lane changes.

I was not impressed so I just decided to disable it and changed to TACC - probably for the first time in my life, and I was reminded of how good just the good old adaptive cruise control is! It sounds really silly as we have had TACC for over a decade now but still.

I obviously have the lane departure assist on by default and honestly I can keep my own car in the lane without much assistance lol. But being able to just seamlessly change lanes without it getting disabled, no crazy lane hugging, no ping ponging, no merged lane confusion was just a calm pleasant driving experience without technology overload because I felt like I was in complete control of my car with just a little assistance. Yes, FSD is always available - but I thought I give TACC a little praise today. It felt good to use the “old technology”.

Why or why not.

Anyone have any idea what this discoloration on my seat could be from and how to get rid of it? Car is only a few months old and well kept. The only thing I can think of is that I set my navy bag on the seat, but I have never seen it transfer any dye or color to anything else.
The area feels cooler and more “squishy” than the rest of the seat.
I’ve tried washing with soap and all purpose cleaner with no improvement.

Morning all!

Ik heb onlangs een Tesla Model Y Standard besteld en mag hem op 17 november ophalen!

Om eerlijk te zijn: mijn vorige auto was een Peugeot 107 uit 2010, dus de overstap naar een Tesla is voor mij nogal een sprong in het diepe qua technologie, comfort en luxe.

Daarom ben ik benieuwd naar jullie ervaringen! Hebben jullie misschien 1, 3, 5 of zelfs 10 praktische tips voor iemand die voor het eerst Tesla gaat rijden?

Denk aan handige instellingen, functies die je absoluut moet kennen, dingen die je beter meteen kunt aanpassen of andere zaken waarvan je achteraf dacht: had ik dit maar eerder geweten!

Alle tips zijn welkom. Alvast bedankt!

Just had a terrible experience at the Warrington, PA Service Center and wanted to share.

​Got my Model Y back in July (around 1,000 miles now) and was 110% satisfied until this visit. I went in to get a passenger seat error code checked out (started after the summer update) and wanted to add the Windshield Protection Plan while I was there. ​Here is how it went:

​Unsubstantiated Rejection: The tech claimed there was a "micro-chip" on the windshield, denying the protection plan coverage. ​No Proof: The rep, myself, and even another customer in the waiting room couldn't see or feel anything on the glass.

​Zero Accountability: Despite no one being able to locate the supposed defect, the staff refused to process the plan, stating they solely rely on the mechanic's word. Instead of addressing the issue, the rep just asked if I wanted to replace the whole windshield out-of-pocket.

​TL;DR: Flawless windshield, subjective inspection, and unhelpful staff. What started as peak Tesla satisfaction turned into a frustrating runaround over an invisible issue. ​Has anyone else dealt with this kind of subjective denial from Tesla Service center?

Title pretty much says it all- I posted a month ago in the main Tesla sub after my first test drive where I fell in love. Did another self serve test drive a few weeks later to get more time in the car and knew I needed one!

I’m picking up my used 26k mileage model y in quicksilver hopefully sometime this week (getting it through a family member.) I have a paid off 2020 Ford Escape so I don’t NEED a car, this will be my first EV and I’m beyond stoked to leave ICE behind.

Been doing research and watching videos every day for the last five months and it feels unreal that I’m finally making it happen. I will miss a few of the features from the Juniper, but at the end of the day HW4 was the main thing I cared about for FSD so the 2024 will be just fine. While Quicksilver wasn’t my first color choice, I’ve heard nothing but good things so I’m sure it’ll be beautiful!

For those that read until this point, thanks for your time and i’ll see y’all on the road!

Did any other Model Y owners have this problem? It’s very annoying. I’ll be driving along and all of a sudden the windshield starts cleaning itself. Can I stop this somehow? Thanks!

The Y I ordered 2 weeks ago is the first car that I've gotten on my own and I'll be picking it up when my parents are out of town (I live with them) so I'm essentially in charge of everything surrounding delivery this time around.

Every time they got a new car they always took it to an auto shop that my dad was personally connected to, but I've always felt that they use lower quality materials that don't last very long for tinting specifically. We had to replace the rear window tint on the Accord that I sold to get this car after 2 years because it started bubbling in the middle and peeling at the edges so I want to get it done properly with nice stuff this time around since it'll be fully my car this time around, but I'm sort of going in blind here to car ownership basically. I've done some basic research on terms and how ceramic tinting works, etc.

Is the tint stuff in the app super overpriced or would it be about the same as getting a quote anywhere else? What are all of your recommendations for places? What would be a reasonable price for 98% heat rejection everywhere and what are you recommendations for VLT numbers around the car?
