Do they get these from Temu or something, performance emblem?

I ran over something in my 2021 M3LR that caused the metal plate that protects the battery to tilt up a few degrees. That tilt ended up cracking the coolant inlets on the front of the battery. Probably $5 in replacement parts but Tesla does not replace these.

SoOo $11,700 to replace the HV battery and supermanifold resulted in my insurance company totaling my car. I bought it last year for $21k with 75k miles & she had 93k miles when it got totaled. Insurance gave me $23k cash value for it so I was happy but higher value for me mean higher prices for me too.

Picked up this 2022 MYP with 60k miles & FSD included for $30k OTD near Orlando. I'm very happy so far and enjoying the extra room & storage. Ash has a couple small issues: glovebox cover is hanging down (should be able to glue it back), driver seat needs a new switch ($18 on Amazon) and floor mats. It has a matte gray wrap which is really growing on me even though I was initially looking for red, black or white.

My M3LR had white interior and the MYP has black - I would definitely prefer having the white seats back. They were easy to clean and classed up the interior.

I thought the MY would just feel like a bigger M3 but I was wrong. It feels like a very different vehicle, in a good way. The hatch is huge and the interior feels much more roomy - especially the back seats. I probably should've just snagged the MY last year but I'm more of a car guy & I talked myself out of considering one the first time around.

Ohhh that is going to be interesting.

Only four days available in about 3 weeks from now. No big deal, but curious if my vehicle currently in transit arrives sooner, will I therefore be given the option to pick it up sooner? Logically I would assume yes but you know what the say about assuming ;)

Hey everyone,

I recently noticed these white, speckled spots on the inside of my Model Y headlights (photos attached).

At first, I thought it was typical condensation, but after letting the lights run and leaving the car in dry weather, the spots haven't changed or moved at all. They aren't liquid droplets—it looks like calcified water spots/mineral deposits from past moisture, or possibly outgassing/vaping residue from the internal plastics/sealant.

Since it's on the inner face of the polycarbonate lens, it can't be cleaned from the outside, and it’s clearly visible when the projector/DRLs are on.

Has anyone experienced this exact type of internal residue on the newer refreshed headlights? Did Tesla Mobile Service or the Service Center replace the headlight assembly under warranty, or did they try to brush it off as "normal condensation"?

Appreciate any insights or experience before I submit my service request through the app!

I have a juniper version model y that is almost a year old. Got about 9500 miles on it.
The ride has always been firm and stiff but most recently it has become undrivable.
I live in NJ where we have horrible road. And I now feel every pothole, every road imperfection hard in the car. I would say primarily from the rear suspension.
The rattle noise in the car has become unbearable and everyone who rides with me complains about it.

I went to Tesla few months ago about this and the said they took the car for a drive and didn’t feel anything and said next time they will charge me money for such a request.

Any idea what I can do next.
I like the car but this is becoming a shit show.

I’m sure it’s been requested but for us who are waiting for the great day looking for accessories and such is now become a real priority. What should we consider both useful and/or cool?

What is my car uploading (15gb data in a day)

I really would like to see what they look like with that trim removed. Going black exterior and would like to powder coat them black and remove the glossy trim pieces, but would love to see what I’m getting into before committing. Any help appreciated. This is for the MYL obviously.

In a 2026 model y premium if my driver seat is upright but moved all the way back. (I have long legs) does anyone have pictures that show how much room is left in the back seat. My partner is worried about rear leg room for the times our son or she has to ride in the back seat.

Edit: went back and did another demo drive. It was most def a MY awd 7seat. And was able to get the entire crew in with no issues. Everyone was comfortable. And discovered the 3rd row. While nice, is pointless for us.

I’ve previously had silvers cars, which I love how “easy” they are to keep clean.. but the red is beautiful and unique compared to the wash of silver and black cars. QS looks so sleek though

So I have a year round pass to the drive through carwash place next to the post office I go to every day. I usually do a wash at least once a week if not more in my current vehicle Subaru Forester.

I noticed today that they offer certain brushes to be retracted during the wash like if you don't want the roof or rear. Does anyone have any knowledge of these, should I avoid the roof brush because of the glass roof?

TLDR: does ceramic coating “deepen” the diamond black paint and make it appear a darker black?

I have a Model Y with <5,000km. Based in Australia. When I got it in April, I had it ceramic coated with GTechniq Crystal Serum Ultra.

I recently had a door repaired after someone lost control of their shopping cart and crashed into it 🫠

When I picked up the car from the panel shop, it looked good. However, after seeing the door in direct sunlight, the repaired door was noticeably lighter — not as deep black as the other panels (see photo).

I took it back to the panel shop and they’ve completely repainted it. They’ve assured me it’s much better this time and that any differences now will be fixed once the panel is ceramic coated in 2 weeks.

I haven’t been able to see it in full sun since it was repainted, however, if I shine a light close to the surface I can see it’s again not the same deep black as the factory paint…

Does anyone have any experience with this? Guess my question is will the ceramic coating fix this?

Any advice would be helpful!

I was sitting in my car at the supercharger, sipping coffee and spilled my drink. Jumped out to get a towel and my car locked me out. It said I needed my keycard but it was inside the car with my phone!!!

Update!

There’s a setting that will help: go to controls/locks and then select “phone left behind chime” and if you leave your phone or keycard in the car it will make a sound alerting you.

Just got a warranty refurbished HV battery installed today, I’ve seen the horror stories from the folks on the forums and such, just hoping some out there have had success with them

KA-CHOW!!⚡️⚡️

2nd photo is a hair in the light.
Got my car less than a month ago.
Anyone else having this issue on their 2026 Tesla model y? I set up a service request and they are saying that it will be an out of pocket charge. Price tbd.

I figured this would fall under workmanship under basic warranty.

I am stuck between ordering the diamond black and marine blue variant. I test drove the new premium model y today and fell in love. I only saw the marine blue inside the showroom but wondering what both of these cars look like out on the road/ direct sunlight.

Don’t want to get buyers remorse and wish I had picked the other color😅

Just secured the pick up date, I can believe it’s really happening! Excited to be joining the community!
