    Tremendous. Thanks for the feedback.

    Parallel Systems

    Afternoon: I bought a new home in 2019, and it came with a ten panel system (not sure of the kWh output), currently managed by Sunnova. I want to expand, but would prefer to buy Tesla products. Can the two systems run in parallel? Can Tesla integrate the Sunnova hardware into their circuitry...

    2022.16.3 Bugs

    Service ran some remote diagnostics that coincided with a hard reboot I did, a few days ago, and 72 hours later, all the functionality i complained about is working (fingers crossed)

    2022.16.3 Bugs

    As I thought, it’s a software issue. I’m going to initiate a service request; let’s see what they say

    2022.16.3 Bugs

    My wife and I, as well as some friends, have noticed some annoying bugs after the latest update. My Bluetooth microphone, AP, and voice commands work intermittently. Soft and hard reboots are only temp fixes. Anyone else experience this?

    What can I do to minimize uneven tire wear?

    I have excessive wear on the inner portion of my front tires. Sorry; wasn’t specific in my original post.

    What can I do to minimize uneven tire wear?

    Morning: Besides rotating and maintaining proper tire pressure, what can I do to minimize uneven tire wear? What are the best alignment specs? My PD3+ suspension is bone stock.

    Backup camera…

    Thanks!!

    Backup camera…

    We have the latest software update for the Y, but the tri-screen mode isn’t activated. We only see the center camera feed when backing up. Any ideas???

    Service Mode

    I’ve had a bad experience with a shop: they destroyed the DCT in my old GTR. I trust no one. The car cannot be out in service mode with valet mode activated. The car was exquisitely repaired, and Im very happy with the outcome. Brooks Motor Cars in Fremont does outstanding work! 5 stars…

    Service Mode

    Maybe I’m being petty, but 14 miles seems excessive for a road test, when no suspension parts were damaged. As far as the power/drivetrain are concerned. There are mechanical parts that can wear prematurely due to abuse. There’s a reason valet mode exists. I don’t want people beating on my car

    Service Mode

    My Model 3 is at a bodyshop, and is in service mode. The shop put 14 miles on my car for some reason, some time in the last five days. I noticed on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Is there a way to see if they drove it hard? It’s a PD3+. It’ll be interesting to see how they explain the...

    Best Bay Area body shop?

    I have selected Brooks Motor Cars for repairs. They come highly recommended by Joe of OCD.

    Best Bay Area body shop?

    I’m absolutely pursuing a diminished value claim!! The guilty party admitted fault. Also, I’m working from a leveraged position, since it was a company vehicle (one of my sub-contractors) that struck my car.

    Best Bay Area body shop?

    Someone backed into my car! Is there a shop in the Bay that specializes in Tesla body repairs? Location doesn’t matter. I want the BEST.

    What a Midnight Silver, stealth wrapped, Y should look like

    I realize the price is exorbitant, but the shop stands behind their work, no questions asked. I’m paying for customer service, not a wrap.
  18. SaloonGoon

    What a Midnight Silver, stealth wrapped, Y should look like

    Yes. CQuartz Finest Reserve is included in the price of the wrap (all surfaces)

    What a Midnight Silver, stealth wrapped, Y should look like

    Thanks! Don’t be discouraged if there are bubbles under the film. They’ll fix all the blemishes when you take it back for the follow-up. Nice choice. Appreciate it!

    Tesla Roadside Assistance FAIL!

    They had a 19” wheel on the truck, but accidentally installed the 18. The driver/owner blamed Tesla for the mix-up. He claimed they color code the rims, and the 19s are supposed to be silver only. About 6 inches… I’m am very aware now lol They are contractors. I’m sure it’s much more...

    Tesla Roadside Assistance FAIL!

    Left my office this morning (I work graves) and noticed my rear driver’s side tire was flat. Called roadside and they installed an undersized loaner on my Performance 3. I didn’t realize the standard range rim diameter is 18”, otherwise I would have stopped this clown. Three calls later, from...

    It’s my wife’s daily. She loves it. The wrap was a bday gift from yours truly. *sugar*!!! Volks are $$$$$

    What a Midnight Silver, stealth wrapped, Y should look like

    The full invoice… A lot of work was done. They had the car for 9 days. XPEL has a ten warranty, so there is some value there. Gotta pay to play fellas

    OCDetailing in Fremont. Ask for Joe or Alex. $8500

    Why won’t my Y follow closer than 3 car lengths?

    Not many. All of my cars have full XPEL wraps 🤸🏼‍♂️🤸🏼‍♂️🤸🏼‍♂️
  27. SaloonGoon

    Why won’t my Y follow closer than 3 car lengths?

    Thanks. I prefer to not have 3 Greyhound bus lengths between my car and the vehicle ahead lol. This is why I cruise with the 1 setting; people cutting me off is annoying AF Lovely.
  28. SaloonGoon

    Why won’t my Y follow closer than 3 car lengths?

    I can adjust the follow distance all the way down to 1 car length on my Model 3. Why is that not possible on the Y??

    Breathtaking in person!! 5 stars for another OCD gem : ) Wife is very happy!!

    Seat Covers for Model Y

    Great: any anecdotal evidence that seat covers actually interfere with airbag deployment?

    CA Waiting Room

    Yes. They offered home delivery, but I didn’t want them putting the initial miles on the car. Since we’re close, flatbed delivery wasn’t an option. We weren’t the only ones taking delivery there. It was pretty busy actually. Welcome to the cult, errrr club. ENJOY!!
  32. SaloonGoon

    CA Waiting Room

    Took delivery on 6/19 in Dublin!!! Gaps are good. Paint is good. Interior fit/finish is much improved over my 3. Have a 7/12 appointment with OCD for a full stealth wrap and ceramic coating. It’s gonna sit in the garage until then. The car handles wonderfully and seems to accelerate better than...

    Y Performace vs LR?

    Get the P; you won’t regret it. I like it more than my 3, by a large measure.

    Help me talk my wife into a P Y

    ICE cars, as daily tools, will be an anachronism soon. Yes. We were given an overnight loaner I wouldn’t use it anyway, which is the argument Lord Elon made I have an R8, so I guess I’m an idiot 🤣🤣✌🏼
  35. SaloonGoon

    CA Waiting Room

    Ordered 5/2. No Vin. 6/12-6/30 delivery estimate. Perf. Y... Went through this with my 3; not a big deal. The cars are worth the wait my friends!
  36. SaloonGoon

    Help me talk my wife into a P Y

    No VIN yet... We should take delivery in the next few weeks. Going full stealth at OCD. Joe’s a good friend. Had my R8 wrapped there. Wife is pretty excited!!

    Short-term bumper protection???

    You get the gold star sir 👍🏼👊🏼

    Short-term bumper protection???

    I have a 7/12 appointment with OCD for a full stealth wrap for my wife’s new Y. Short of PPF from another shop, what can I do to protect the bumper in the meantime?

    Help me talk my wife into a P Y

    Thank you all for the replies. I’ll leave this here. I told her gas is about to go parabolic, and Acura will eventually go bankrupt. Easy decision... She opted for the P model. Now, how do I get her to let me drive it : 0

    Help me talk my wife into a P Y

    I love my car, for obvious reasons. My wife is incredulous about the benefits of EV ownership. She wants to get an A-Spec RDX instead of a Perf. Y, even through the cost of ownership, when gas is factored-in, will be similar.

    Y Performace vs LR?

    I did an overnight loaner in a LR AWD, and then test drove the PD3+ the next day. Easiest decision I ever made.

    [Black window trim and power trunk ] Retrofit?

    I sent a service message today requesting an auto trunk retrofit; will report back.

    Model 3 Performance Real World Range

    I have a 100 mile, round trip, commute, and I keep the car at 72-75 mph mostly. The freeway on-ramp near my home is literally one mile away, and where I work is literally one mile from the off-ramp I use. I charge to 80% every morning (I work graves), and I generally plug-in at 22-25% SOC. I’m...
