Tesla Model Y

You don't use walk away lock? If I did that the alarm would go off and all the kids would be deaf for life. Camp mode doesn't lock the car, dog mode does.

My kids are too small to be left in the car by themselves and the wife doesn't like dog mode for some reason 🤣 so normally use camp mode

dog mode works best i find, do they not set the alarm off otherwise?

That is bizarre behaviour from a normally reputable after-sales service.

I'd fear you're right here. That dodgy seal isn't going to lead to anything positive for you.

I was only thinking to myself the SC are really responsive to queries - except I suppose to those queries they don't like or don't know how to answer immediately.

I have my 24 Model Y booked in for service next week for that DC charging failure I mentioned a few pages back.

I had intended to, but forgot, to include requesting to fixing the plastic wheel arch cover and the fog light blanking piece that have both been dislodged when a reversing truck tipped my parked car last year. Does anyone know if I go adding these two items to the service request now, will it automatically remove my existing appointment so they can review the additional request? I really don't want to delay the fixing of the broken DC charging. Maybe its better to wait until I've actually dropped the car in, then ask about them in the service chat? Or will they not even entertain that? maybe I shouldn't even be going to tesla to fix them? (there only seems to be a snapped clip on the arch trim, not sure about that plastic piece where the fog light would be)

I like a lot about the automated/app based tesla service system, but I sometimes wish I could just talk to someone when dropping it in instead of just abandoning the car in the car park like they want you to.

looking at one of the model y performance models on tesla's site. I haven't test drove it yet but anyone here move from a 5 series Se model to the model y and how they found the ride performance?

its a 2023 model…I'm humming and hawwing between buying the juniper AWD model but i'd prefer to let someone else take the depreciation hit. Plus this specific car somehow gets a remaining warranty to Aug 2027 and then another 1 year after that. I'm not seeing that on the other cars (there's a similiar priced LR AWD but only 1 year warranty but the MYP was a UK import so maybe they get a longer warranty or something.

its a red one but its black interior. I still see that one there, its 30k now.. the one I'm looking at is 36k but only 43k km on the clock.

That's reassuring about the bulletproof. If ride performance is an issue there's always the car below but its mileage is higher at 83k km and only one year warranty.

Coming from a 3l bmw i'm quite familiar with steering rods, control arm issues on powerful cars so I was thinking on an even faster car the extra warranty isn't bad at all.

Quick question on getting some warranty bits fixed. I tried to log a service request in the app. But the last stage asks me to pick a service center. Dublin or Cork. I'm in Galway so neither are easy. Will they look to use the Ranger to come to me once they review the request?

Small jobs, the left door speaker keeps popping out, the glove box doesn't open and I want to ask about the water in the frunk seal.

I really don't feel like a full day trip to get any of those fixed but they should be fixed.

Those issues sound like ideal ranger jobs to be fair.

The quote is always the full book price regardless if it's a warranty job or not. I had the same when a rear light cluster had water ingress. The actual price was updated to 0.00 during the service.

Went for the test drive in the performance model (2023) and didn't get all the fuss about the suspension.

From my previous 2010 bmw f10 which is seriously getting on , the MYP was a major improvement on it… delighted with as was worried it would be too harsh on the missus.

Picking it up now either Mon/Tuesday all going well.

Had to throw 25 bucks into thar bmw on the way back up from cork…last time paying for fuel :)
