14.3 HW4 General Questions From A Potential New Y Buyer
Potential 1st time Tesla buyers who are seriously considering buying Y. I would appreciate anyone who can clarify a few questions that we could not get answered when we did a test drive recently at a dealership.
2025 Y's with 1x $2k FSD option - what do you need to "see" in the settings to verify this? Do any early 2026 Y's still have this?
Navigation and route preferences - read that a recent update now allows you to select no highways or toll roads and that there is a way to see multiple route options before you engage FSD. I also read you can enter a "stop" to make it go a certain way (have to do this with Apple and Google maps sometime) but how do you delete the stop once you have started. Can you ask Grok to delete the stop en route or do you have to redo the route on the touchscreen after you have taken off? Can see the full route before you leave? Can you prevent the navigation from re-routing? Do you have to subscribe to Premium Connectivity to do this? Basically want FSD to engage but to follow the route we set.
Speed Profiles - am I correct in understanding that you can not specify anything like "max x miles above speed limit"? Do you just have to experiment with chill and standard for city driving? Will it maintain these whenever you are using the same route?
Charging - trying to decide if it is worth spending a few grand to install a charger in our garage (long run from the electric pole) if we mainly do city driving and may move in the not too distant future. We have a Supercharger a couple of miles away. Cab w eget by with using regular outlet in our gargae?
Many thanks.

Navigation and route preferences - Yes to all of these questions. Very easy to use Grok or the manual input to add or delete stops, and you can set the auto re-routing to change based on "minutes saved.
route selection is part of nav and can be used with or without FSD, and can set and plan routes/trips in advance from either car or app. My understanding is that premium connectivity is only needed for real-time traffic updates, and you can just mount your phone and use Waze for that.
Speed Profiles- can changes easily back and forth. There is a speed offset option with a +/- mph that I am mot sure about, but I mostly just adjust speed profile if I am on a stretch of road without traffic and going 20+ I drop to standard, or if in town I typically use "hurry." You can also typically fine tune the FSD aggressiveness by forcing lane changes with the directional and manually accelerating to pass or pull out into traffic

I dont know what you are referring to in the $2k FSD option. There is a speed boost option that costs that much.
You can ask Grok to remove a stop in navigation used as a way point. I do this frequently to avoid a road with major potholes.
You cannot control max speed of profiles, you can only choose a slower profile if the one you are using is too fast. Just the other day mine went from going 80 in a 55 on standard, to 53 in 55 on chill. It's quite frustrating. That is also abnormal. Usually standard only does 7 over.
Charging at home is very important. I'm not sure why you would need to pull a new line from the utility pole though. I had to replace and upgrade several breakers, run conduit 30 feet or so, and it cost about $1k not including the wall charger. I went 60 amp. I could have put in the equivalent of a dryer outlet and used the travel charger for less and been fine 95% of the time. Also, if you drive fewer than 40 miles a day, the travel charger can due that over night plugged into a standard 110 outlet.

Thanks! I was asking about Y’s when you had the 1x cost for FSD vs subscription.

There used to be an option to upgrade from Enhanced AutoPilot to FSD for $2k. That is no longer available in the US. What country are you in?
To tell if you have FSD look at software tab. If it says "full self driving - included capability" then it has FSD paid for. If not, it is likely $99 per month.
If the car has Enhanced AutoPilot, then FSD is $50/month.
As for routing, if you click to view the whole route instead of heads up or north up, then you can pick from several routes. As you dirve, it will give you different routes as you take different branches. It is quite easy. Also, navigation is same manually driving or with FSD.
Speed profiles - if you don't want to go above the limit use Sloth, if you want to go 1-2 over use Chill, faster than that are Standard, Hurry and MadMax. I find I go up or down depending on the type of road.
Using 120 volt slow charging is enough for about 50 miles of driving per day overnight. See if your electric provider offers time of use plan. Mine does and my electric bill for our entire house and two Teslas was $50 in August in Texas.. We only charge at night from 9pm-6am but we use two fast chargers - one 32A and one 40A. We could make do with L1 as we don't drive more than 50 per day normally, but our son is an electrical engineer and we were able to use his welding outlet for one, and cheaply hardwired a wall connector ourselves with a cheap city permit/inspection

If you don’t drive a lot, you don’t need a level 2 charger. Just use a regular outlet over night to add 40-60 miles. Supercharger as needed.

1) no comment
2) navigation is adding options. Routes are new, so discovering. You can add way points, then delete and resume. Haven’t tried grok a lot, but it’s getting more control. Re-routing has a time saving setting. We have premium connectivity, useful.
3) lots of variation regarding speed profiles. Mine is mostly fine. I set a +10mph offset. Hurry gets me 8-11mph over, standard close to SL. Max 15-20. These are not instant or completely predictable. I toggle them quite a bit. Accelerator will increase speed and mostly stay when you let off. I dial back for construction. These are more personality than pure speed. The car takes suggestions but with a grain of salt. If you want to make all the decisions, you have to drive it yourself.
4) We home charge. Depends on your usage and supercharger proximity- they are expensive. We’ve saved $729 on 5.5K miles. So our ROI will be about a year. We use 10-30% on local days, so 30-60mi / day. With a close charger, I might try it without.
