Very interesting! Pls confirm: only the driver's side seat. I assume is connect to a fan to drive the air into the seat, and that no fan is included: pls confirm. Also, is there a special seat foam cushion that allows air to pass through it that I would need to make things operational?

I bought a sunshade from EVannex. It fits perfectly, but is huge and storage is a problem. It's made as a sandwich and rigid. So thanks for the info. I've ordered one from Amazon like the one Reefer333- posted about. Thanks!

Minor correction: It's S3XY, per Elon Musk.....

In the immortal words of the Alka Seltzer commercial: Try It, You'll Like It.

Driving dynamics also have an impact on range. Lilly Leadfoot won't get far on a tank of electrons.

Yes, i want to let off some steam. And the points I'm making have been discussed with my delivery center in Glendale, AZ. By posting this thread, maybe someone about to take delivery will be more aware and prepared better. This is my second Tesla. The first one was a new car, and we had a...

The discussion is interesting to me. BUT - I don't know if you have the right to reject delivery because you don't like the hardware you'll be getting. Fit/Finish/Condition are the main criteria, I believe.

Interesting options that you want. You can get HEPA CABIN filters for both cars, and retrofit HEPA to the MY for under $300 if you shop carefully. Someone in the Parts section has that setup for less. H4.0? I'm with you on that one. And you must mean something different when you talk about...

As a 'senior citizen', I think of the MY as a young woman (M3) that's filled out in her aging process (MY).

I started my Tesla journey with a 2019 M3AWD. My wife and I loved its sporty nature, and, with the Acceleration Boost option, i was able to put down my son's Mustang GT - to his embarrassment. However, I'm a large old fart, and my wife is my age. I always had to drop into the driver's seat...

A trip to Chicago in April for us. We had a reservation at AVIS for an ICE with Android Auto, so we could use our phones to navigate. There were five Model Ys sitting in the rental spots, and when I had tried and failed three times to find the ICE/Android Auto setup, I told the clerk at the...

Also, if you're planning to drive on an unpaved/gravel road, or go into the desert, as I do, the metal skid plates are a MUST. Not expen$ive compared to the thousands you'll $pend to fix the underside, or even replace/repair the battery. And, if it makes you feel any better, we ALL $pend too...

Yes. I bought the version that has an insulating 'blanket' that goes between the glass roof and the sunshade. That just adds a few minutes to the installation. No issues installing the sunshade except that my trim fit very snugly to the glass roof, making it somewhat difficult to get the...

I bought them to put on my M3. I waited a while to install them, but sold the car. These caps were purchased in 2020, and have a tapered edge that will fit flush with the mirror housing, I don't think there will be any gaps around the edges, but I can't be sure, since I don't have that car any...

Try a 'Wheel Bands' protector kit for $120. Enough material to do 4 21 inch wheels with a bit left over. This approach keeps rim rash from happening. I had it on my M3 for four years and it saved me several times when too close to the curb, etc. Works like a charm, and I recommend them...
