I’m the owner of 2 Tesla Model Y’s. My channel covers a wide range of topics including EV's, product reviews, FSD Beta drives, road trip videos, general tips and tricks and anything else that might be helpful to new and seasoned EV owners. I might also dabble in some related technologies that would interest EV owners.

Both my neighbor and I have had FSD 12.5.4 for a few days. So far it's perfect. Way, way better than either 12.3.6 or 12.4.3 (or 12.5.2.1 for that matter). The new feature that allows sunglasses is huge for those of us who need them. Both on HW3.
@@wandery2k It varies, don't know why. I received 12.5.2.1 one day, tested it and then received 12.5.4 the next day. Go figure. The ability to wear sunglasses is a big deal for me so 12.5.4 is appreciated. Best of luck, you'll get it.
@@StormyDog thanx. seems hit or miss and i think ive seen message boards indicating it can vary by region. The sunglasses adjustment will be helpful. prescription.
Been running that version for a few weeks. Had some similar hesitation issues.. ..mostly in construction zones. Those zones were very poorly marked and super narrow. I see multiple slow downs on interstate driving. In 65 zones it tends to slow down to 5o...weird.
2020 Model 3 Performance, 20k miles, Out of Warranty, Car goes into limp mode, throttles car's power and top speed. Says something about thermal cooling issue. Earliest appointment for service was a month out. Wish me luck.... I just hope they don't tell me I need my flux capacitor replaced because it's not getting the full 1.7 jigga watts it's supposed to.
Just watched your video while my 2018 M3 installed 2024.27.25 FSD v12.5.4. Was on 12.5.1.5 for at least several weeks. Phantom braking was a major annoyance with 1.5 because it was very frequent during in town driving. Seeing ghosts everywhere. Since 1.5 was installed I’ve also had to reboot had to reboot my screen several times to fix glitches. Lots of issues with 1.5. The previous version before 1.5 would actually pull into my driveway about 50% of the time, but 1.5 couldn’t find the driveway and would signal and look for the driveway around the corner. Appreciate the videos.
I don't what it is about Tesla's and you say yes brake lights work. I live in CA where the number 1 selling car brand is Tesla. I drive an ICE car. Whenever I am in traffic on the freeway, Tesla brake lights seem to never work until the super last second. You can see the car in front of them braking and slowing down. The Tesla is also slowing down but the brake lights don't come on. It makes following behind a Tesla extremely frustrating to the point where I actively switch lanes if there is one in front of me during traffic. And no its not coasting or similar to engine braking on a ICE car when they use brake regen. As soon as they take their foot off the gas, the car acts like an ICE car pressing the brakes but the rear lights do not come on until the last second. In an ICE car when you engine brake, as soon as you let your foot off the gas the car doesn't act as if you are pressing the brake pedal. It will slow down gradually. A Tesla slows down abruptly without brake lights. Even in city traffic, I've seen Tesla's pull up to a stoplight without the rear brake lights turning on once. Also another random thing is on the freeway and there is no traffic whatsoever, I will see a Tesla cruising along with its brake lights flash for a quick second every other time. Like its glitching out or something. I heard here in CA Tesla's get into a lot of rear end accidents because of this issue.
What about going across? I saw another video where someone uses 2 floor jacks to lift the back of the car up and switch the rear tires after rotating both sides
Haha our family owns 4 Tesla cars since Model S 2013, S 2015, 2020M3 and MY 2024, never rotated a wheel buy new rear tires every second year. All depends of driving habits and driving style.
I come from the VW world. Every 40k you will need to spend $600 changing the DSG/trans fluid. At 80k the nylon water pump will leak, and at that time you should to the timing belt and walnut blast the carbon off the valves, for a total of $2k. Around 130k the rear diff/ haldex unit sometimes go, and those are a few thousand. What about Subaru? Almost all of my friends had the motors pop before 100k, due to ring-landing disintegrating, or oil pickup cracked and starved the engine. At least $10k. A buddy in a Ford Escape just had to have his engine and trans replaced at 90k, half under warranty. Most CVT transmissions don't make it past 100k, and replacement is around $6k. So I don't think your prices are out of line. You got unlucky, but plenty of ICE owners also get unlucky. 2024 is the first year Toyota is using small displacement turbos on their 4runners, so kiss those expectations of 300k miles goodbye.
We all need reliable transportation, but daily drivers are a massive financial waste. Adding another $6-8k to the price with zero return (data shows no value on resale), is a really bad financial decision. While I love my M3LR, Teslas depreciate more than most cars, making the additional cost for PPF that much more of an unwise decision. The paint can be touched up by a good body shop or detailer for a couple hundred dollars every couple of years if it's that's important. Be like this man. Make wise financial decisions.
This is awesome. We have a Chamberlain garage door opener with MyQ built-in, and there doesn't seem to be a subscription required. I pick up my new (to me) 2021 MYP on Monczy, and I excited to setup MYQ in my MYP. LOL Maybe I'll have to subscribe when I connect the car, but using the app on my phone is free. You may have just saved me $350. Thank you, Iowa Tesla Guy. 👍❤
There is easier better ways, use the screws that have a rubber seal with it…you just screw hun easy no need to use lots of force and they hold the same, they do a test with all those types of repair things. Also you don’t need to buy a full new tire but you do need to go get it patched by your local tire place, don’t go to a dealer just go to your mom and pop shop they do it for super cheap usually like $20
I bought one of these based on your recommendation from Tlyad in May of 2024. Liked the fact they had a 2 year guarantee on purchases. Well here we are in September 2024 and it is broke and not working. I have been playing email 'tag your it' with these guys at Tlyard. I emailed them about it they sent back asking for a video of the problem. I sent them a video. Then they wanted another video after hearing nothing from them for 4 days. It's getting to the point I may start disputing it with my bank. The unit worked fine up till September. Now I can't even it to stay on for any length of time. DANGER DONT BUY
That all looks really cool but I wouldn't go through the trouble for the center console and the cup holder thing having buttons kinda kills it for me. The door sills on the other hand, I might do that. I like the one you have with the Tesla logo. It's too bad they didn't use the same font as Tesla for the written out ones (i.e. Model 3).
I have a 20 inch Riese and Muller Tinker. It's not foldable though and I'm trying to figure out what kind of hitch bike rack to get for it with my Model 3. Any ideas?
These videos have got to be fake..I got one of these..what a POS..Bolt holes don't line up...seat post was too big to go Into frame. Rear tire wast seated into the wheel...bike is at bike shop..hopefully they can get it to point that I can ride it...BTW CUSTOMER SERVICE IS USELESS..
You did it wrong 😊 put the lines inside your garage. Also put an end tape so the car knows where the parking lot ends. The spot you make needs to be about the same same size as a normal parking spot and it will definitely park inside your garage as long as it can see the lines. I’ve done it and it’s pretty amazing
Thank you for the video. I need to fix a similar looking flat on my Tesla Y now. I can see the nail/screw head and have all the necessary tools, but didn’t think I’d be using them.
I recommend the plug kit from tire slime that has the drill bit attachment. Makes the job a cakewalk. Have to bring a drill with you everywhere you go but that's well worth the hassle.
My EV takes 30 minutes at a super charger..Would take longer than that to get the bike.out..unfold it and ride..Super chargers charge you extra for the time you spend there after 90%..no thanks
Naaah, Voice commands on Apple watch don’t work 😢 Yes, you can click on shortcut and it will do what it suppose, but Siri wont do It. Always ask add key card to your wallet 🤷♂️
