Mr Slye, you need to correct your recommendation for using the tire pressure printed on the sidewall. It could cause a blowout.

Great tips! Not sure if it was mentioned, but for your windshield wipers - tapping the end of the left stalk, as you mentioned, brings up the speeds on the screen. Instead of tapping on your screen you can also increase the speed by pressing your left scroll wheel to the left or the right to increase or decrease the wiper speed. I found this to be easier than tapping on the screen.

Never inflate your tires based on Max PSI number on the side of the tire! This is a warning number that you should never inflate it past this, not a recommended PSI setting. Setting your PSI to the maximum number on the side of the tire could result in unsafe handling, and a higher chance of blowing out your tire

@@stephenthompson1663 I keep my Model Y tires at 48 psi cold/52 psi hot per the sidewall max. pressure. My tires are wearing evenly and I just rotated them at 44k miles for the first time. I am hoping to get 70k miles on them bearing any unforeseen issues. My daily commute is 130 miles (650 miles/week) and I have 45.7k miles in 13 months of ownership. I live in Florida and I have experienced three blowouts (2 were Michelins) over the past 40 years due to the heat on the road with my tires inflated at the door jamb psi (not the tire psi). Since the tire psi label is usually higher, that is where I keep the tires and it has worked extremely well for me in Florida. I am hoping to get 300k miles on Tessie.

As a first time Tesla owner, I did’t know how to unlock or start the car. Should have watched your videos first. I now have 50 miles on my car and this is a fun car. Thanks for providing a lot of info succinctly.

[@Garrison169]

The tire pressure written on the tire is the maximum pressure the tire is rated for. You should not pump the tires to this pressure. When you drive, the tire will heat up and exceed this pressure. The tires will wear unevenly and there is the possibility of a blowout.

my MYP23 says 42psi when it’s cold i put 41psi for all my tires. smooth ride.

[@aslye]

I've found 45 PSI works well for my 18" tires

[@teslasnek]

I was going to point out the tire pressure thing, but you beat me to it lol 😄 I have a video on my channel where I put 19 inch Aero wheels and low-rolling resistance tires on my Model 3 Performance and it improved my range by 8% to 340 miles 😀

[@snoozieboi]

I'm only 2 mins in, but in winter climates not using brakes ruins them due to salty ice slush. I'd love if Tesla had (or is it implemented) and option to also mimic the regen braking with actual brake use nearing trip destination. In Norway swapping brakes every two years seems to be an actual thing due to pit rusting etc. and very limited use on EVs. Applying brakes at the end of every trip would have a beneficial effect. I also know this by first hand experience on my old corolla which I do not use daily, the brake discs just rusted like hell from just not being used and the car being out all year in all kinds of weather.

Hi Andy...thanks for putting this together for. us. I just got my Model Y and I learned a lot from you on this video. Keep them coming. Much appreciated.

[@brothatwasepic]

Hi guys dumb question: does the hold feature regen braking degrade the battery more like if you kept plugging in your phone 20 times a day to top-up the battery 20 times a day?

[@cindyvang9215]

On secret auto park (4:20), when the car goes into a tight spot, how do you get it to back out, in order to enter the car again 😂? Or do you have to get FSD?

[@JPEight]

That's a great point. When I manually park in tight spaces I make sure to leave a little more room on the drivers side, but I don't think autopark will do that. If you park the opposite way to the one next to you, (i.e frontwards vs backwards) you can get your passenger door very close to theirs whilst still leaving room for the drivers door, both for you and the car on the opposite side.

[@OtakuBoxes]

This is a ridiculously useful video. Thanks for sharing so many quick tips!

[@EarlLedden]

Thanks Andy. How do judge how far back you should place the car to get the greatest reduction of drag?

[@JPEight]

There's a mythbusters episode from years ago where they tested everything from 40ft to 2ft, but with a gas car. Should still apply to electric though, probably even more so. I think they found it increased up to about 20ft, and then decreased after that, but 20ft is way too close even with auto emergency braking. At that distance the truck driver cannot see you in their mirrors. 40ft still saw a noticable increase in fuel economy and is *reasonably* safe, though the driver still might be able to see you. Even without drafting, you'll still see a significant increase in efficiency due to driving slower.

[@ryderlackdaniels]

Do you think the battery gets drained too when its just sitting outside in hot weather temperature. I live in LA and no car garage space so i have to park my car outside of the house. Any recommendations and tips would be gladly appreciated ❤ thank you ❤ : i have Tesla model y long range 2024

[@slowercuber7767]

@11:35 I saw in another video that Tesla had removed the percent offset over/under speed limit, leaving only mph or kph offset available. I find that weird and unfortunate, as I would prefer percentage, as on the highway I like to keep up with most of the traffic and find that "speeding" by around 10 mph on the highway and divided multilane secondary roads, but prefer to stay much closer to the speed limit or maybe even a little under in residential and urban streets. A 13% offset for FSD would give me close to 79 mph in 70 zone and 22 in 20 zone, without me have to fiddle with the speed. Do note: I won't be ordering my first Tesla (a Model Y LR AWD) before I can be sure it will have HW4, but it will be before they go stalkless, as I really, really want the stalk controls for turn signals, autopilot, brights and windshield wipers (i'm ambivalent regarding shifting/parking brake)

@@Resist4 A semi trucks stopping path is significantly longer than that of a Tesla, even if you yourself are not paying attention to the truck the car will literarily brake for you.

@@thedroneguy6914 Following a Semi at at reasonable distance is then not drafting and you get no mileage benefit from it. And you actually might get worse mileage as the airflow converges at a point way behind the truck.

[@thedroneguy6914]

@@Resist4 You're basing your idea of theoretical and completely dismissing my initial argument that a tesla brakes faster than a semi, therefore even if you are within a reaction time period of braking and are paying attention there is no way to rear end the semi. Drafting however, has its effects even at a distance of 100 feet, you're welcome to look this up as it's been proven time and time again. Sure you may also say that the emergency braking won't do anything however if you're intentionally drafting, paying attention and keeping a safe following speed you will see the effects of drafting a semi in your efficiency at basically 0 serious risk.

@@charlesbrown179 I cannot send here URLs to teslamotorsclub references as KZbin forbids that but (1) lifetime of battery is affected only if you keep it at that SoC (State of Charge) for long time (days/weeks) as it only accelerates aging by a few times. When driving the 5%-20% SoC will be there for minutes so the battery of car will age by about an hour, does it matter? (2) yes, faster charging affects battery capacity. But if you supercharger a lot it will be lower by 1% in 10 years. Does it matter to wait 5 minutes more at each supercharger to have 1% of battery capacity in 10 years more. I do not find it worth it. (3) battery lifetime is known to be affected by high SoC (70%+). But it is questionable whether low SoC matters, according to various studies very low SoC is even better for the battery. But unfortunately Tesla company does not disclose their data and their advices are for comfort and against range anxiety, not for battery lifetime. After all the battery lifetime is higher than the lifetime of the car anyway. I bough my M3P as a used car with 1.4% degradation and in 25000 km it did not change.
