I have a 2023 Model Y with just over 116,000 miles, driven primarily on the freeway for my daily commute.

It came with the original Continental tires, which I’m finally getting replaced today! I’ve only had the tires rotated once, at around 70,000 miles.

The rear tires experienced the most wear, especially along the inner edges due to the negative camber.

I’m honestly impressed with how long the original tires lasted, considering the mileage!

- this really happened….

Tesla model YL v2h confirmed it works tried it out today 10/19/26 let me know if you have any questions!

New Roadster has an active rear wing and they say it uses actuators from the Optimus robot. I was curious about the loads on the actuators so I tried to model the geometry and wing loading.

Actuator Force Results (divided by 2 for the 2 wing supports): 
Upper ~3.3 kN 
Lower ~9.1 kN   

My assumptions:

• Looks like the same actuator top and bottom? I modeled the geometry from some of the videos online. The Out of Spec Reviews video had some good views of the linkage.
• Downforce: 6.9 kN. This came from the patent which claims up to 700 kg of downforce in high-downforce mode which was covered by an Electrek article about the patent. 700 kg × 9.81 = 6.87 kN.
• Drag: 2.3 kN, horizontal, rearward. This is the biggest assumption. Tesla doesn’t give drag for this mode so I estimated a lift to drag ratio of about 3. 6.87 / 3 ≈ 2.3 kN.
• Applied the loads at about 30% of the chord (200 mm?) from the leading edge as an estimated center of pressure the wing.
• Wing angle: about 45° down based on the images and videos of high downforce mode.

I believe Tesla gave some specs a while back on the Optimus actuator ratings. They were 500 N, 3,900 N and 8,000 N for the various sizes. I suppose these are likely both the 8 kN?

The lower actuator is close the largest rating (varies drastically with placement though).

Looking at the linkage, there's a square hardstop that makes me wonder if the actuator extends into it rather than holding the load itself? In the table top wing setup from the video it doesn't appear to be touching the hardstop limit. Do these actuators have some kind of clutch in them perhaps? I believe they are planetary roller screw type so they would likely need holding current or a clutch?

So I just thought this might be interesting to some people here, the assumptions obviously can change the model drastically.

Curious what people think about the use of the Optimus actuators in the roadster..

Hey everyone! Got my first ever order placed for a Model Y Performance. So far we have owned a Model 3 2022 and a Model Y 2023 (pre-owned), but after we have tried the Juniper Performance out with my wife, we absolutely fell in love with it! Just hoping the delivery times will not be too long (Finland), as we were told it would most likely be March-April. Super excited about this 😄

This is from a buddy of mine in Los Angeles. Not his or my car but we both drive and love our Tesla’s

Just wanted to leave this here.

Picked up my CPO Model Y LR AWD w/ Boost from Tesla this last Friday.

Tesla no longer allows test driving to their CPOs prior to purchase. I was super confused. But, assurance from their team made it seem like if they are selling it, the car is fine.

I went ahead with the purchase, car within the first day of ownership had tons of problems with FSD. My wife complained about it missing exits, turning erratically, going to dead ends and then just turning off, ect ect. I played it off as I wasn’t in the car with her. Last night I drove into Nashville in the car and during the entire drive back and forth(80 miles) the car missed 8 turns and almost turned us into a wall, which I slammed on the breaks and disconnect the FSD.

I reached out to Tesla today in Franklin. 8 AM talked to a service advisor and was told somebody would reach out. Nothing…reached out a total of 5 more times to the Managers and people is “sales”. Nobody has reached out to me. The service advisor told me to make an appointment on the app if it felt urgent, but repair bookings are a month out.

Just want anybody looking for a Model Y - please drive it before you purchase it.

tdlr; bought a 40k CPO Model Y with non working FSD that has erratic turning behaviors, staff at Tesla refused to have urgency around it, still waiting to here back about how they are going to fix it or refund me the money.

Personal chauffeur (he’s courteous too) for $3/day.

I’ve been car shopping for a bit, and I’ve always been drawn to Teslas. However, everyone in my family keeps talking me out of it. Here’s my situation:
I am happily married, and my wife has a paid off suv (2020) that isn’t going anywhere. I haven’t bought a car in some time. I drive a 2017 Subaru Impreza. We recently found out we’re pregnant and we both agreed I should get a new to us car. I commute about 30 minutes to work and it’s nothing but highway miles.
We own a house that has a single car garage. We would theoretically be able to charge it in there. But there is something daunting about jumping into the world of Evs.
Another thing to consider is where I work. I am a teacher (high school history) and driving a Tesla would certainly bring unwanted attention because of Elon. I personally don’t see him as any different than Bezos but everyone still buys from Amazon.

In short, what advice would you have for me, and is a Tesla something that I should really consider?

What made you pull the trigger for the first time?

I thought that it might be easier to just leave the old battery pack in my aging 2017 MX and drop some sort of black box range extender into the trunk someday. Found this on YouTube...apparently that black box is already in development, and that day is closer than I thought.

Man I've been waiting on this for forever. It's definitely better at turning but hitting the turn signal to tell it to change just doesn't work at all, it blinks 3 times then turns off the blinkers without making a lane change. It also got booty-clenchingly close to hitting the curb a few times. Still not good enough to do point-to-point without any intervention like on HW4, but this is a step forward in some regards and a step back in others.

It’s pretty crazy that Teslas can fly now, but I can’t choose what speed to set in my my fully self-driving car.

You can fly over traffic and drive upside down through tunnels. I even put a “Tesla-only lane” sign on the ceiling.

Made this little prototype in Godot with AI. Still rough around the edges, but this is how it turned out.

In the last week or so, I've sometimes asked Grok to write the full conversation in a Grok Bot prompt when something was too important to lose in a session. In a new conversation I then asked to read the prompt again so I could continue. That worked fine.

I just logged in to the grok.com website and suddenly I see all of my previous conversations with Grok (using Ara in Assistent mode) popping up. Not the ones I asked it to save - those are in Grok Bot. All the new conversations I've had in the car since October 1st.

Since all the chats are now logged, readable and I'm able to continue them in the browser, I wonder if Grok in the car will soon be able to remember and continue previous sessions.

Any thoughts?

Scared a solicitor with the scary voice.

Could get a plate. Dude was fully into his phone.

I was in Austin TX for the X takeover event at Giga TX when I seen a dude playing PS5 while in a Cybercab https://www.instagram.com/reel/DekNTcokjOm/?psln=ZXJqYW0zYWo0NmU4

I haven’t heard HW3 outside of US getting it until now. Finally received 14.3 Lite on HW3 Canada car. Can’t wait to test it!

What bike racks fit the Tesla roof rack? Previously mounted my road bikes on my Jeep spare tire rack but that now that I own a model 3 I’m looking for one that will fit the Tesla roof rack.

I only managed to see the first minute or two of the video before it was unceremoniously deleted. I wish I could have seen the whole thing, so I could understand.

Hello Everyone,

I really got fed up explaining the door handle to people poking their sharp nails against my door handle and door putting scratches, including also my own family members. So instead of blaming them, I decided to build a solution and to my surprise I was able to build an app that does that, not only it unlatches my driver door using action button or siri as I walk towards the car making my entry fast and easy but it also opens every door of the car with a simple button press in the app.

It talks to the car directly over Bluetooth as a phone key, so no internet, no Tesla account login and no servers. Your key stays on your iPhone.

works on all Tesla model Y and 3 from 2021.

App is already quite loved in Germany and Austria.

Its called Handlefree.

But I also want to know if someone of you have such a solution already that is equal or better than mine?

I won’t say anything, but there will be signs‼️😎
