Need advice: Coolant is old by time but low mileage

NorthDailyCommunity StarterDec 9, 20252024 Tesla Model Y Long RangeUpstate New York
Car only has 32k miles but the coolant is several years old. Would you change it based on age alone? I'm trying to prioritize maintenance that matters rather than replacing everything early. If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2024 Tesla Model Y, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. This is from a 2024 Tesla Model Y in Upstate New York. Did the worksheet show tax yet? I keep a notes app thread for this now.

OP update: scanned the 2024 Tesla Model Y again and still only have the one pending code, no new lights. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Checked the easy stuff on the 2024 Tesla Model Y and found one clue worth chasing before I book a shop. I'll update if anything new shows up.

If it were in my driveway, get a real battery/charging test on the 2024 Tesla Model Y, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Ask what changed right before it started. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2024 Tesla Model Y does it — then decide on parts. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. The universe charges extra for guessing. That's my plan before I call anyone.
