2024 Tesla Model Y Long Range — fun daily that still works for one-car ownership

ShiftWeekend72Community StarterFeb 23, 20262024 Tesla Model Y Long RangeLas Vegas
I want something I enjoy on back roads but still need to commute, carry luggage and survive bad weather. Trying to avoid buying a car that only makes sense on paper. What compromises have actually mattered after a year? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

It did fun daily that still works for one-car twice this week, both times after sitting. No change in mileage feel. Checking again after work.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Tesla Model Y charge sessions. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 Tesla Model Y in Las Vegas. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2024 Tesla Model Y, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. I'd do that before spending real money. On “fun daily that still works for one-car,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. Only after sitting overnight so far.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 Tesla Model Y — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2024 Tesla Model Y in Las Vegas. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2024 Tesla Model Y so service can see what you saw. I'd do that before spending real money. Stop there until you know. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.
