    Interior camera blurry after being covered for months

    Did you use tape? Sounds like some adhesive is on the lens causing the sensor to focus super close. Make sure there's no adhesive/debris on the surface of the lens.

    Arrow pointing down on maps

    If you tap the screen it will bring up some options. One of those is a toggle to have either North up or the direction in which you're going up.

    Texas heat

    Cabin Overheat Protection by default comes on when the cabin temperature exceeds 100°F to keep it under triple digits. Newer cars have an option to lower that to 95°F or even 90°F if you want. I wouldn't invest too much time being concerned about this topic though, it's not that big of a deal in...

    DIY Model S Chrome Delete?

    I've done about half-a-dozen Model S's using kits from Nikola Pros who have since shut down, sadly. I'd say to watch whatever resources are available (the Nikola Pros YouTube videos worked great for me) take your time and make sure you're not pulling it too much if it's warm or it can distort...

    Why didn't Tesla offer a non-stagger wheel option for the MYP?

    That's really all they are anyway. You're splitting hairs to get at the differences which would be largely unnoticed in the real world during day to day use.

    Why didn't Tesla offer a non-stagger wheel option for the MYP?

    It's just a Model Y, not a Formula 1 car.

    My 2024 Quicksilver Model Y is here

    I'd pay to upgrade to this color. Source: we just bought a 2024 MYLR in Stealth Gray weeks before this became an option.

    Why didn't Tesla offer a non-stagger wheel option for the MYP?

    I prefer squared setups on my vehicles as well and dislike the lack of availability on newer Teslas.

    Homelink Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Help

    We have three garage doors and 9 Teslas now so to say I've had some experience doing this would be an understatement. There should be no compatibility issues since that opener is Homelink capable which is a universal protocol. It should just work. Just know that it's very likely someone gave...

    I had one. Had being the operative word in that phrase, sadly.

    Austin Built 24 MYP Quicksilver Delivery on 5/11/24

    If it's anything like the Toyota Supra Quicksilver it will have lots of blue/green/brown/purple/bronze hues depending on the lighting & weather conditions. It looks a lot like that color and if so, it's really dramatic in the shades it can appear.

    My 2024 Quicksilver Model Y is here

    It's a similar shade, agreed. That's not what I was disagreeing with though. There's no way that that car the other person posted a picture of would look anything like a Quicksilver Tesla. Even just from the photos I've seen, it's very similar to a car I had and there's no chance those two paint...

    FSD on 2016 P90DL?

    To be capable of FSD the AutoPilot hardware needs to be AP2 or later. The car you have sent a picture of is AP1 and has what is effectively the highest form of software AP available: Highway Autopilot aka Autopilot w/Convenience Features. There is no other software option to "unlock" nor is...

    Mirrors and car wash mode

    Ah, I wasn't aware. I have freewheel mode but, in my experience, this can be VERY temperamental dependent on the different types of conveyor systems that automatic car washes can have. I've found that, the easiest way w/o knowing what's what is to simple put it in carwash mode and then, instead...

    USED MS LR/Plaid OR MX LR/Plaid

    Speaking from experience, the difference that 19" wheels versus 21" (or even 22" wheels found on some Model X's) wheels makes on ride quality is pretty substantial. The difference in sidewall height means a much firmer ride due to less of a sidewall to absorb the bumps plus the shorter sidewall...

    Mirrors and car wash mode

    There's a button on the carwash mode screen that says "Fold Mirrors" that you can press. I prefer it to not be fully automated because I manually unfold them after the side spinny brushes have made their pass. This allows for the rinse to be more thorough on them which eliminates the issue of...

    My 2024 Quicksilver Model Y is here

    No, it doesn't. Not even close. That color is WAY more dull and has zero flop and no depth at all. If you think that's the same color, I hope you're not in any sort of a design roll as a profession. Kid: "But mom, I want Qdoba!" Mom: "We have Qdoba at home." ...that color is the Qdoba at home. 😂

    My 2024 Quicksilver Model Y is here

    As someone who previously owned a 1998 Toyota Supra TT in Quicksilver (one of 24 ever made in that color) this color looks about exactly what I expected from the pictures I've seen so far.

    The .gov in CA is out of control. Sad because we'd live in SoCal in a heartbeat too. I think lots of people are waking up to how broken that state is too because there's a mas exodus underway.

    We just did the same thing (haven't updated my signature line yet... out of characters. haha) because where we are we actually made money resetting the odometer and warranty plus getting a new exterior color. I'm not the OP but just offering potentials reasons why it may make sense even though...

    Model X refresh key fob battery dying

    I've literally never heard of this being a thing. Can you cite your credible source? I question the validity given the cost they pay for them versus the man hours required to... paint, you say?.... them. The internals are different too so... I'm still not sure what this post is inferring tbh.

    Smaller Steering Wheel?

    Those are all conveniently located in the box to the right of the main sitting position illustrated in that photo. No capacitive touch buttons to worry about accidentally triggering. Fixing problems even Tesla engineers can't solve!

    It's funny you mention that because one of the many times we've done that was LITERALLY Arizona. Scottsdale for one of the more recent trips to be exact. The daytime high that day was 114°F.

    You really need to stop presenting made up BS numbers as fact. Others may read this crap and think that it's even remotely true.

    Best reliable SSD for Sentry on Model Y

    Cabin Overheat Protection is to protect ALL of your electronics. Most of which cost far more to replace than some $10 throw-away external USB drive you're so hung up on. The default is on from the factory but I guess you know more than Tesla engineers about these types of things... right? If you...

    Actually, it does. That's been my point the entire time that you have conveniently side-stepped as if it's not even relevant when it's THE answer. Have you even looked at your Cabin Overheat Protection settings? Here, I even found a picture in celsius so you don't have to do any math for the...

    Otrifowd Magshade for Model 3/Y

    "very few" is not none. I don't need 20 options to be 1/2 the price because I'm only buying one. The one I bought was $39.99 retail with a 15% coupon code right on the item's page (no needing to go to YT or anywhere else) making it less than half the price of the one you linked to. Can I buy the...

    You appear to have taken umbrage to my post. It seems as though you may need to lighten up Francis. Other than the attachment method, these roof sunshades are basically all the same. The difference between a few small magnets can't possibly justify the 2x price tag. It's a simple observation...

    No, his words aren't up for debate. That's the whole point. It's what he said and is now claiming he didn't say that's in question. Thanks for making my point even if you didn't mean to. White knight, huh? Your ad hominem attacks are tiring and unnecessary.

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    Asking that we wait to take up the pitch forks and torches until we actually know what happened and treat others with civility is the very definition of being the voice of reason. Nothing thinly veiled about it.
