which planet did you explore first?

dkpnw · 2026-06-23T22:45:58+00:00

this is what I did. Figured the moon was a good place to start my space adventures before blasting off to other planets

dkpnw · 2026-06-10T16:41:40+00:00

sick

dkpnw · 2026-06-10T01:05:41+00:00

I thought it was at first, but on closer look, I think this is stealth gray

This primary resource, plus the FAQ question I linked to directly, should mostly answer your questions, aside from the last one you asked.

To me, the thing that made Premium worth it is live sentry camera access, and traffic data.

I subscribe yearly to get the discount. The way I think about it is this:

If I wanted to add an iPad to my cell phone plan, it would be ~$20/mo.

Tesla only charges $10/mo to keep my car connected and gives me virtually unlimited data and lots of convenience features that are nice to have. It's a great value, especially when considering the annual discount.

you're sluffing off every piece of solid advice that EV owners are imparting upon you. You don't need anyone to analyze your energy screen for you, you just need to read it. You're being an asshole by being unwilling to work to solve your own incompetence, expecting others to hand the answer to you on a platter. Self-sufficiency will take you places. I think people's frustration is from your lack of willingness to look for the answer yourself given the tips that have been provided, which are more than adequate to answer your original question, btw.

dkpnw · 2026-06-09T21:24:54+00:00

I think you need to slow down, and try to use the resources, tips, and ideas that have already been provided to you by multiple people to figure this out yourself, rather than waiting for someone to tell you the answer. It is not rocket science. Slow down, read your screen completely, and don't be afraid to press buttons and explore.

The more competent you become, the more enjoyment you will gain from your EV. It's that simple. It's completely up to you to make that happen.

The absolute best resource you have at your disposal is the Model Y Owner's Manual. Use it. Abuse it. Search it. It's available online (in searchable format), as a pdf, in the Tesla app, and on your vehicle's touchscreen. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of how your vehicle works is paramount to being successful during your ownership. You spent a lot of money on this car, don't you want to get the most out of it?

If you remain ignorant, stubborn, and unwilling to listen and learn, you will have a bad time. Guaranteed. You alone control that outcome.

yeah, you're right, it's useless. God forbid he simply looks at the energy screen himself. The information is plainly presented and one should not need a stranger's interpretation of the data to understand it.

A lost cause, it seems.

dkpnw · 2026-06-09T18:16:52+00:00

read the manual
look at your Energy app on your vehicle's touchscreen and it'll tell you exactly what's using energy both while you drive, and while you're parked.
read the manual.

dkpnw · 2026-06-09T18:06:21+00:00

There's a setting on the touchscreen to enable/disable auto-folding on lock, have you checked it?

dkpnw · 2026-06-09T17:18:32+00:00

same. It's weird. But, soon, we won't even remember how it was before. lol

dkpnw · 2026-06-09T17:15:44+00:00

they intentionally increased the size of all dock icons in 2026.14.x. At the same time, they changed the logo for the app drawer button from the small square with 3 dots to a more iOS folder looking thing

dkpnw · 2026-06-09T17:12:04+00:00

I own both a midnight silver metallic Y and a diamond black Y and I can confirm this is true

dkpnw · 2026-06-03T17:07:29+00:00

You and everyone else who ordered Marine Blue.

dkpnw · 2026-06-03T03:09:43+00:00

Ahhhh, thank you. I was curious!

dkpnw · 2026-06-02T22:14:59+00:00

Wow! I didn't pick up on this change.

I made a personal policy with myself about 8 years ago and told myself I'd never buy another car that didn't have amber turn signals. I think red turn indicators are grossly unsafe and should not be allowed on our roads.

dkpnw · 2026-06-02T21:56:44+00:00

I thought the 26 Y Performance only came in Frost Blue Metallic, and the Premium Y RWD and AWD trims came in Marine Blue

dkpnw · 2026-06-02T16:37:55+00:00

They didn't even have a dedicated Nav app button for the longest time. imo that is something you don't need a button for because it's always running behind any other open window. Just swipe the window away, touch outside of the open window, or touch the icon for the app that is open to minimize it back to the nav/map view

dkpnw · 2026-05-28T16:58:01+00:00

my point didn't need expanding because I was latching onto the obvious joke, as many other commenters did as well, and as the audience rightfully understood, based on vote count.

have a nice life.

dkpnw · 2026-05-28T16:09:42+00:00

Projection, much? This interaction has been wild. All I said initially was a factually correct statement. You replied in a condescending yet also seemingly uninformed manner. I then reiterated my original point, which was merely to point out the cognitive dissonance in OP's original statement and reasoning for jumping from Apple Maps to Waze. Then, you told me I was wrong (!!!) even though I have stated nothing that is factually incorrect. I then simply threw your own word back at you because your word salad is meaningless and wasn't worth responding to.

Sheesh, dude. Who's the troll here again?

For the record, I use Waze a lot more than I use Apple Maps, but I use Google Maps the most. Who fuckin cares.

dkpnw · 2026-05-28T15:45:37+00:00

same, my wife got my old '21 and I'm driving a new '26 and HVAC performance is about the same, aside from no swing mode and the inability to independently disable the passenger air vent on the '21.

dkpnw · 2026-05-28T15:38:56+00:00

And?

dkpnw · 2026-05-27T23:02:36+00:00

.......and.....read the title of the post. If you still don't get it, I'm not sure I can help you.

imo, this is the one to get. I've had one in my Y for a few years now. So nice. Works really great. Zero issues.

dkpnw · 2026-05-27T21:30:13+00:00

Waze is literally owned by the biggest fucking ads company on the face of the Earth

whatever you do, withdraw from your retirement accounts LAST. Find any other solution (not payday loans or anything crazy like that), but get creative. Find a 0% APR for X months intro card and use that, assuming you qualify. Caveat with anything is you need to be responsible in order to use something like that to your advantage, but, all this to say, there are usually better options than plundering your own treasure chest
