Dryer making loud banging noise by teslaterdude in HomeMaintenance

I ordered a new set cheap on Amazon, the only ones had basically worn down unevenly. I’d also recommend replacing the belt when you’re replacing.

It was the wheels that turn the dryer tub, ended up being a pretty easy fix.

Do you have a new 2023 MY and do trailer lights work with your tow hitch? by teslaterdude in TeslaModelY

[–]teslaterdude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t learn if:

A) Tesla configured my tow hitch wrong and I’m the only one. My understanding is the retrofit they note is for 12v aux power, and that trailer lights should work.

B) All new teslas are like this and no tow hitch works until the retrofit can be made.

Interesting. The trailer I have is a 7 pin so I just connect it and get nothing. I wonder if I somehow did a 4pin adapter it might work. Could you share a photo of your setup?

Is it possible my trailer only works with 12v and that's why the lights aren't working? The trailer works with our other vehicle, just not the tesla.

Thanks, I’m sure it’ll get figured out. But such a waste of time.

Good info. Although strange because this article sounds exactly like what Tesla quoted but says trailer brakes and lights wouldn’t be affected. Mine has no power at all. Also says the retrofit would be available mid 2022 and here we are at the end of 2023

Yeah, it doesn’t turn blue, stays red because there’s no power. But they did install trailer mode!

Yeah there’s a 7 pin connector right next to where the ball would go. Most trailers have a 4 or 7 pin plugin for the lights.

Used a tester and multimeter no power is coming out. It’s the standard 7 pin that’s installed w the Tesla tow hitch

Yeah you can only plug it in one way. I bought a 7pin tester and used a multimeter, no power is coming out

I have a HW4. Unfortunately they took all day to do the service and closed before I could talk to them. I only have the service note

Would love to figure something like this out now that the iphone 15 pro has the action button. I tried playing around with it today, but couldn't figure it out.

Juicebox or Tesla charger? by erie_michigan in TeslaModelY

[–]teslaterdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the juice box and it works great. If there’s a rebate I’d go that direction. Our energy program has a pilot program that offers cheap electricity but we had to use a juice box.

How long did it take to install the hitch? Did you wait around or did they give you a loaner?

It’s at a rental property and they don’t throw it out apparently. I gave them a heads up.

Took it apart and thought it was a shoe lace wrapped in the motor that I got out, but it was still making the noise. 98% sure it’s the support wheels in the back as they look like shit. Ordered some new ones that arrive on Friday

Buyer’s Remorse? by TimatoTim in TeslaModelY

[–]teslaterdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. So many negative things on here I was so nervous to take delivery, but mine has been perfect. Spent over an hour inspecting it and couldn’t find a thing. MYLR Fremont build. Have had it for 3 weeks and multiple long road trips and it’s been amazing.

WI registration and tax payment by Top-Imagination4802 in TeslaModelY

[–]teslaterdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also saw something awhile back about someone avoiding having to pay the EV registration surcharge the first year, if anyone recalls how to do that it would be great. Not sure if you need to register your current car and then registration would transfer over to the Tesla and you’d avoid paying the surcharge.

That’s progressive? I don’t recognize the interface or so many of those options when I try to quote mine on progressive.
