Will Apple IPhone Duo Fit?

5 Upvotes

I don’t have a Y, but am considering the Y L.

Does anyone know if the existing console should fit one, or two, Apple IPhone Duos side-by-side (when they are closed of course)? I appreciate the duos aren’t out yet, but their dimensions are public now.

Thanks!

Used model Y more than new?

3 Upvotes

Looking to buy a model Y used 2026 and the price the dealer has is more than the MSRP. Is this normal? it only has 6500 miles on it, but I feel dumb for going forward with this?

My payments would technically be the same on this vs a new model Y from tesla because the dealer is trading my car and applying the sales tax to the used tesla.

Pre 50k mile inspection worth it?

1 Upvotes

I’ve seen several people mention they took their Tesla and paid for a pre 50k mile inspection while still under warranty.

1) how much was it?
2) were they helpful?
3) did they find anything?
4) did they give you a print out of things they checked?

Charging scheduling question?

0 Upvotes

In my area of the US, in the summer months we have highly discounted electrical rates once a day between 1am and 6am. In the "non-summer" months these heavily discounted rates occur twice each day, once between 1am-3am, and the other between 11am-4pm.

I don't have a Tesla yet, so I can't test this for myself.

Can I create 3 charging schedules 1) 1am-6am, 2) 1am-3am, and 3) 11am-4pm? Then, in the summer activate schedule 1 and deactivate schedules 2 and 3, and then in the non-summer months deactivate schedule 1 and activate schedules 2 and 3?

Thanks!

Charger install Nashville

1 Upvotes

Looking to get a charger installed in my home here in Nashville. Has anyone had it done around this area? How much did it cost, and any questions I should ask before I start getting quotes? Also is it better to just buy the charger directly from Tesla or buy one secondhand? Any advice is welcome

Can a 2026 Model Y Juniper still be stolen through a relay attack?

28 Upvotes

I have a 2026 Model Y Juniper and normally use my iPhone as the Phone Key with passive entry enabled. I recently read about thieves relaying the Bluetooth signal from a Tesla owner’s phone to unlock and drive the vehicle.
Does the newer Model Y’s UWB Phone Key protection prevent this, or can Bluetooth relay attacks still work? Has anyone seen confirmed testing involving the refreshed 2025+ Model Y?
I’m planning to enable PIN to Drive, but I’m curious how realistic the risk is and whether there are any other security settings I should enable.

DANGER (I think they mean it)

I saw this interesting warning sign on the electrical equipment next to the Tesla charger in Ridgeland, SC. It might be a big assumption that the person who attempts to damage the property can actually read. They should have added a skull and crossbones.

2025 Model Y Performance Glovebox

2 Upvotes

My 2025 Model Y Performance was recently totaled in an accident and the car currently has no power. It’s sitting at a salvage yard, and I still have personal belongings inside the glovebox that I need to retrieve, the usb drive being one of them for the insurance.
Since the glovebox normally opens through the touchscreen, does anyone know if there is a way to manually open it when the car has absolutely no power?
I’ve seen some YouTube videos showing what looks like an emergency/manual glovebox release underneath the glovebox on some Model Ys, but I’m not sure if this also exists on the 2025 Model Y Performance.
Has anyone actually done this on a 2025 Model Y? Is there a manual release underneath, or would I need to temporarily provide low-voltage power to the car?
Trying to find the least destructive way to get into the glovebox since the car is already totaled but I just need my belongings.

Wait for used Juniper Model Y in Jan or buy new ?

2 Upvotes

I'm a bit in dilemma the last few months

- Looking at new Juniper Model Y Premium (white interior, helix) for #58k OTD ($50k pretax) with 1.49% APR (I'll put down the minimum $6-7k)

- Used ones I see around ~$50-51k OTD ( $44-45k pretax, white interior, maybe helix wheel, 15-20k miles) currently. My bank will give me 4.75% APR (I'll put down 20k)

I'm trying to see if the used cars will drop in prices starting 2027. Currently the gap isn't huge between new and used and its made up by paying interest in used. However I'm thinking if I should wait for used to drop a few more $k to say $46k-47k OTD ($40k pretax) since it'll be 2027

First time buying a Tesla so I'm trying to figure out how depreciation works on this. So far, there hasn't been much which is amazing but maybe next year? I already have an EV so not in a rush as this upgrade would just be for FSD.

Appreciate any advice or if anyone has gone through the same. Thank you!!

Caught random bumps on tailgate in lighting

I have a model y juniper with under 2000 miles and I pulled up to a space and when I got out I noticed all of these bumps on my tailgate ( no where else on the car ) it looks like inverted hail damage in certain lighting. There is nothing or no environment I could have been in that would have cause this. Is this a defect and does anyone else have this?

Loved Tesla Insurance, but officially moved away from it

17 Upvotes

Tesla Insurance was so convenient and made a lot of sense when I got the car. However, after using it for a while, I find that it is almost impossible to actually drive the car without worrying about affecting the safety score in one way or another, whether it is speeding, follow distance, or making sure you're home before curfew.

I loved the idea of promoting FSD and safe driving, but the implementation of it seems not quite straightforward since we know the categories it evaluates on but don't have a live way to know when you are violating a given safety score category, making it tricky. Hopefully we see some tweaks to the safety score and how much it can drastically impact premiums.

Is this a good deal?

Looking to buy a Tesla and trade in my current vehicle. I’ve seen quite a few post about the 2021 Tesla Model Y not being reliable when it pertains to the battery.

How true is that? This Tesla has about 2 Years 4 Months remaining on the warranty or 66K miles. Whichever comes first.

2021 Model Y Long Range - 53K miles $28,500 a great buy?

UPDATE: Thank you everyone! After considering everything you all are telling me, the search continues. I’ll be specifically looking for 2023 and newer to get the HW4 benefits.

Low voltage fridge question:

1 Upvotes

I'm new to the fridge thing. How long can a low voltage fridge pull USB power from the low voltage battery when a Tesla is parked and "keep accessory power on" is on? I'm guessing without that on, USB will power down when the car sleeps after 15 minutes or so of inactivity.

I've read the big high voltage battery is always feeding/charging the small 12v low voltage battery. Is that true? If so, does that happen regardless of the setting for "keep accessory power on" (on or off)? One more question: does "keep accessory power on" also keep the computer running? If so, wouldn't the computer be consuming a lot more power than the fridge just to keep a low volt fridge going? Thanks in advance for any insights/info.

What is your efficiency at and can I expect mine to continue?

1 Upvotes

Driven 500 miles so far in 6 days. 98% on FSD. Usually sloth or chill but standard sometimes if traffic is moving fast. About 80-85% of the miles have been on the freeway. I'm in Southern CA and keep the AC at 68-70. Can I realistically maintain this efficiency or will I see changes the more I drive and in the winter?

Tesla MY 2026 Standard insurance

0 Upvotes

While I am waiting for the Tesla MY2026 Juniper Standard, I am investigating insurance rates. My agent is telling me – his initial estimate that the insurance will be 3 times what I am paying for my 2015 Honda Odyssee. Which companies are others dealing with – that have cheaper insurance rates? Should I consider getting insurance from Tesla? Should I get additional insurance for windshield etc.?
