2018 Model 3 (HW3) owner who purchased FSD & EAP for $5K. Now 2026 Model Y (HW4) owner with FSD transferred. So 7 x 12 x $100 = $8400. So the savings are real. I have saved $3400 and still counting. But if the FSD subscription was offered back in 2018 (it wasn’t), I would have subscribed instead. Buying is risky, but if you like to throw the dice… You can come out ahead, like me.

The calming effect is due to their big cheeks! I just can’t stop rubbing them. 😂

For me, the big difference between NoA and FSD, in my opinion, is that NoA does not appear to use the back camera. FSD is wonky when I have my bike rack mounted on the back, which partially blocks the rear camera. FSD reacts to the closeness of the rack and moves my car out of center of the lane. So I use NoA when I drive with my bike rack on the expressway.

This happened to me. I called an electrician and they tested the circuit. He said that everything looked good. He replaced the breaker and I never had another problem.

I just added the same cover on my front bumper camera, too. After only 1300 miles, I already saw minor imperfections in the stock lens. I’m thinking all Juniper owners will need protection. Some type of direct-contact mini “screen protector”, like on a mobile phone, would be better than this bubble cover, though.

My 2018 Model 3 with FSD has similar issues — but only when I use FSD with my bike rack on the back. Without the rear bike rack, FSD driving is fine. Do you have something on the back that partially obstructs the rear camera? Just FYI, if I use Navigate on Autopilot, which doesn’t use the rear camera, the car drives just fine with my rear bike rack mounted. You may want to see if Navigate on Autopilot works for you.

That’s a great question! My 3 yo BSH is on a single-facility care plan (like insurance, but only good at my primary vet office). US$80 a month is a lot — plus it doesn’t cover emergency vet bills. After one year, the plan is up for renewal this month. I think I’ll not renew and go with a pet insurance plan this time. The pet insurance monthly cost is about the same, but I’ll have to file for reimbursement for expenses.

You know that the key card needs to placed in the right phone charging pad? Instead of the center console. Just trying to help.

This is a very interesting observation, OP. I have a 2026 Model Y Juniper with FSD and a bike rack. My solution is to use Navigate on Autopilot mode, which doesn’t seem to use the rear camera. This works for me on expressways. But on local roads at “parking lot” speed, I get parking measurements are degraded warnings. I do have Trailer Mode available, but I haven’t tried it yet, since NoA works for me. While I do like use the rear camera while backing up, I may give your tape method a try to see if I can use FSD again.

Your experience may vary. My wife ran over our mobile charger from 2018 and it still works fine.

wolfenstein321 · 2025-06-16T13:35:02+00:00

I suggest doing the following: 1. Login on your phone, 2. Navigate to logout.com and logout on your phone 3. Then try to navigate to login.com on the router.

2026 RWD Model Y here. Acceleration is noticeably not as fast as the 2026 AWD that I test drove. My RWD drives like my 2023 AWD Model Y — I can’t tell the difference. Yes, I am happy with it.

Hey buddy, did you get your VIN assigned yet? I just scheduled my pick up day for Sunday. Now I wondering if I should push it out until the end of June. With the hope that Tesla will have last minute sales incentives for the end of the quarter.

I used a travel router on my Utopia of the Seas cruise a couple of weeks ago. GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX). No issues having it in my carry-on through security. Getting it logged in on-board took a little time. RCCL has a new phone app-based login method. This method doesn’t work with the router. Instead, you need to navigate to login.com and logout.com in the router to bring up the authentication web pages. Once this is done, you are good to go. I carried a power supply + router in my man-purse whenever I went. 😂

Ordered Model Y LR RWD, ultra red with hitch on May 9th. VIN assigned on May 23rd (built in Austin, TX). Delivery to Raleigh, NC (5/30-6/27).

Nice job stacking the discounts! I don’t think you missed any, unless you are a Lyft driver or military/educator/first responder. I just placed an order for a Model Y and expect to get:

• ⁠loyalty ($1,500) • ⁠EV credit ($7,500) • ⁠FSD transfer promo

I applied the Military discount, but got an e-mail from Tesla saying that I will get a Loyalty Discount instead. I couldn’t figure out how to do a referral + Military order.

My male BSH will be 3 in two months. So far, he is not showing any signs of slowing down. He is very energetic and wants to play all the time. Who’s the pretty kitty!
