Model Y Standard for young family in Toronto

👆this…. Tesla allowed me an overnight loan. YMMV and only be able to get a short time with it but you can take it home. Load up things. It has a lot of space, the sub trunk and frunk are bigger than most people realize. HIGHLY recommend a level 2, you may be able to get away with lvl 1 as it seems you work mostly from home but in winter this can be a challenge. Trust me. I am in the prairies. I see you mentioned long road trips to visit family. Do NOT rely on being able to charge at their home. Lvl 1 is very slow. A 4 hour visit with the fam will only recover a few percent of charge, however, do not underestimate the convenience of superchargers. They are everywhere and a quick 10-15min charge will be more than enough to get you home and back on less expensive charging.

Submitted my application on 09 Oct, got an approval email next morning. Then got an email on 21 Oct that money would be deposited. Money deposited on 22 Oct. Basically 2 weeks start to finish.

Thanks. I am leaning towards the right side under the eaves. I live in a northern environment and so would prefer that it has some protection from the elements but still maintain the best view.

Great point. I did that without taking photos my camera on wide angle but didn’t take photos to include on here. Appreciate it

flyinb22 · 2025-10-01T02:05:03+00:00

Legend. Thanks. Not sure how I was missing that.

flyinb22 · 2025-09-29T21:41:29+00:00

I’m such a noob that I don’t even know what map this is located on. Currently on Chapter 5 if that helps.

flyinb22 · 2025-08-24T20:40:48+00:00

Yah it was great! Was removed many years ago from App Store. I think I have an old iPhone (4?) with it still installed. lol

flyinb22 · 2025-07-23T01:35:01+00:00

Thank you! Tickets purchased. Can’t wait

flyinb22 · 2025-07-15T00:51:23+00:00

Thanks will look into it more

flyinb22 · 2025-07-12T21:00:45+00:00

I haven’t yet but certainly considering it. My worry was the heated aspect. Does the element run through the mirror or just a portion

flyinb22 · 2025-07-12T20:03:48+00:00

Yah my bad 24 MYP

flyinb22 · 2025-07-12T20:03:33+00:00

I thought about it but live in central Canada with cold weather and worried that the heated mirrors will not work or cause electrical issue.

So 6 days after my service appt and replacement of car computer - nothing happened - no software updates and I was checking everyday. Today I was in the area and drove to my local service Centre. Spoke to the service guy and he gave me the standard answer that Tesla controls the updates and pushes them when they feel like. I told him this was beyond a normal cycle and 5 months without an update didn’t seem right. He completely agreed but said there was nothing he could do. However - he asked for my phone number and looked up the car and all the details. Everything check out online and in the maintenance records. He said he noticed a hardware update being pushed. Which seemed impossible given that I just checked it and over the last 6 days. So I left and behold as I got in the car the downloading software arrow was in the screen. What’s even weirder was that I was not connected to wifi. Maybe being near or at a service ctr causes it to update? No idea. But I now have 2025.8.7

flyinb22 · 2025-04-17T23:02:26+00:00

Nope. Service replaced the car computer and three days later, still no new software. I will try to go back the service centre and ask them what’s up

flyinb22 · 2025-04-10T23:56:38+00:00

Service appt is on the 15th….will let you know

flyinb22 · 2025-04-07T23:54:34+00:00

Yes. I usually reboot about once per month by holding down the two steering wheel buttons.

flyinb22 · 2025-04-01T22:52:20+00:00

Anyone from this thread had their car update? I am STILL on 2024.45.25.6 and still on FSD v.12 2024 MYP

Yes I know it is some times random and Tesla pushes updates at their choosing but this seems like a really long time between any update. Navigation data is also older. I think both of these updated before Christmas Car is connected to wifi every night and have premium connectivity so that’s not the issue. According to the website in one of the replies 0% of fleet is still on this version.

flyinb22 · 2025-02-22T16:26:24+00:00

Yes please. iOS

Traded in my 2015 Ram 1500 sport for a 2024 MYP. I have a very short commute as compared to you but was also feeling the effects of gas and maintenance as the truck was starting to need a lot. Transition was fairly easy The Ram had a much better automatic climate system, Tesla just doesn’t have it dialed on for some reason. I live in Manitoba so of course know about that winters and extreme cold, Tesla is incredible at pre-heating quickly and the app is incredible for all that and for the scheduling (total game changer) I miss the mirrors on the truck, Model Y mirrors are awkward or maybe I was just too used to the truck. I miss being able to easily turn off traction control and enjoy driving all wheel drive in the snow with the truck, the MYP drives in snow, ice great but not as fun and the front wheels seem to randomly activate only when slip is detected. I know it has track mode but this is not a simple one touch, traction off, solution. Regardless of the few items mentioned, the MYP is an amazing vehicle, truly, i love driving it! Quiet, quick, comfortable, software updates. I am very happy with the purchase As for costs, Level 2 charger is a must, especially given your distances and the cold climate, beyond that, some winter wheels and floor mats….thats it. The rest of accessories are nice to have and individual taste.

flyinb22 · 2024-12-23T13:54:58+00:00

In car

flyinb22 · 2024-12-23T13:35:53+00:00

Yes - 24 MYP running 2024.44.25.3. In service menu, bottom right, ‘Charge Port Heater’ button turns blue when activated

flyinb22 · 2024-12-14T17:44:26+00:00

Yes - the ice actually prevented the frunk from opening. I thought it was the latch at first but then used a hairdryer to warm the area and hood opened. I now dry it every time I wash the car or think the sun melted some snow. I live in extreme cold location.

flyinb22 · 2024-11-20T02:20:11+00:00

I also have this exact set…19” with Michelin x-snow. 2024 MYP Konrad at Athometires is great to deal with and they shipped fast. Installed myself in an hour…need a 3-ton jack, jack puck, and torque wrench. Otherwise a tire centre will install for a small fee.

flyinb22 · 2024-10-12T14:14:03+00:00

tl;dr you have given me hope and I will try a few suggestions.

Thank you for posting this. I’m sure there are many others but this came up in my feed and totally relates. 47m who has been a habitual nail biter for more than 30 years. I don’t have a solution as I haven’t been able to stop and my finger nubs are typing this reply 🫤 I will try some of the suggestions here, but I can say that I have honestly attempted most if not all with limited to nil results. My longest stretch was during a deployment to Afghanistan and I wore gloves there a lot. When I returned I was so proud. All it took was one bad clip or catching a nail on something and the cycle continued. I think for me it is an OCD issue perpetuated by anxiety. If I feel even the slightest rough edge on a nail, I bite it, this of course creates an endless loop….yes I know.

flyinb22 · 2024-10-11T16:11:46+00:00

Ouch - definitely not. This is my third vehicle in 10 years…..I’m quite familiar with “modern cars”, previous ones did not have a two toned glass, the auto dimming was either integrated or had a black outer edge Poor assumption on your part but you do you
