I like my RallyArmor flaps. Here’s a comparison on the MY: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-vs-rally-armor-mud-flaps-coverage-comparison-pics.225732/

Opportunity closed!

Yes

Correct!

Hi gang! I've got a 2022 MYLR, blue/white, tow hitch, locked in at $63440 that I might be willing to pass on for a modest surcharge. Pickup in NJ estimated between 8/22 and 9/05. Any suggestions?

If you live in any state that puts sand on the roads in the winter, rear door PPF is essential. I have the rally armor flaps, which arguably provide the most protection due to their large size, and XPEL PPF as well. After 1 winter, the PPF on the lower rear doors looks like it’s been hit with...

Minivan. I still have a 2010 Honda Odyssey because it rocks for kids. Sounds like the Y is a stretch anyway, and kids are expensive!

Sorry to hear this! Good luck getting back on track. In the meantime, why rent? Just buy a cheap used car you like and resell it later. You can get a good autocross-ready Miata for $5k and go have some fun while you wait! Make lemonade.

Same notice here. Already scheduled my SC visit. As much as people like to talk crap about Tesla service, I think it’s great that they’re being proactive. It was more than once that I had to strong-arm the Honda service manager into looking up a TSB that I found online after my Accord...

Neverrrrrrrrr!!!!

Do not buy this one: https://www.amazon.com/AutoEC-Activated-Conditioner-Replacement-Accessories/dp/B08X6NW41R/ Each filter is 1/8” smaller than OEM, resulting in 1/4” gap that allows airflow around filter. I returned it and got this one instead...

You could always loan them your car for 10,000 miles. :)

+1, along with an 1/3 octave EQ “advanced” option. Or at least 10 bands; 7 just doesn’t cut it.

Dude (or Dudette), it’s just a car. Drive it and love it. Why would anyone buy a normal consumer car they’re not going to drive every day? It’s not a Bugatti. But seriously, yes, it’s a daily driver for every use and every destination. No one cares about my car in the parking lot; they’re...

Looks like fun, thanks for putting it together!

Only your family knows your dad. If he’s sharp and quick of mind, he might enjoy it. Personally, I find it actually takes more attention and skill to drive a Tesla rather than less. Phantom braking, pedal misapplication, spontaneous cruise control engagement (not truly spontaneous but it’s...

Welcome aboard @Calliope! There are a ton of winter tire threads around here, check out this one from @stactum to start: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/bring-on-the-snow.213039/#post-5145169 I went with Vredestein Wintrac Pros on Enkei Hornet wheels from Tire Rack, they were great...

And the location is the Twin Pines Mall (or Lone Pine Mall, depending on whether or not that space bastard killed old man Peabody's pine tree yet). Aww. I love my Tesla even more now. BTTF is one of the greatest movies ever.

It might be copyrighted on Earth, but not on Mars!

No need to be an ass about it. Just don’t answer if you don’t want to. @hamzah1985 - @scottycs is right. There are too many variables, and every situation is different. $60k+ is a lot of money and you should think carefully, perhaps with the advice of a financial planner. But also factor in...

Sounds like new tires are in your future. I had great luck with Vredestein Wintrac Pros from Tire Rack this winter.

Wow! Sorry your MY took such a beating, but the good news is it's just a car and you are safe. It'll be interesting to see what the body shop says. Was there any indication of automatic emergency braking, or other automatic evasive action taken by the car? Looking forward to the video....

I did use a motorized random orbit polisher. No luck!

I'll admit it's been a long time since I've owned a new car, but I don't recall new windshield glass in prior vehicles looking like this. It's only apparent when driving into the sun, the rest of the time the windshield looks fine. But in strong direct light the entire thing looks like they...

Drive the MY LR before you commit to the MYP. The giddyup is pretty spectacular in the MY LR as it is! I haven't driven the MYP but rumor has it those larger tires result in a fairly significant hit to ride quality, and it's pretty stiff in the MY LR anyway. Real world range is fine. It's...

Hmmm. Perhaps. But part of that anti-Tesla sentiment may be coming from Tesla owners who see some of the shine coming off the apple. Tired of Elon's BS. Tired of waiting years for FSD. Frustrated they let Tesla hold their $2k-$10k for years on a promise instead of investing it themselves...

I’m in the same boat… formerly owned a Prius that we pretty much used as a pickup truck. That little beast could haul an amazing load! Unfortunately, I cannot (and would not) replicate the load variety in the Y. For hauling lumber, the capacity is marginal, plus the giant expensive screen in...

There’s some back-and-forth on the weight rating, but many suggest that it’s 160 total. That’s what is stated in the user manual. The 120 confusion comes from the fact that on the Tesla shop page for the Tesla-branded rack, the weight limit is specified as 120 for BOTH the X and Y, while the...

@jjrandorin is correct, there never was a turn off option. You could only adjust the regen to have a slightly milder effect. I would encourage you @Tipjar to not let the regen dissuade you from purchasing a Tesla. It only takes a few days to get used to the footwork required for smooth usage. My...

I have this problem and can recreate it consistently. It happens when I go over a bump while the window is in upward motion. For example, it just so happens that there’s a natural “speed bump” across the end of my driveway. When approaching home, I’ll stop and get the mail from my roadside...

Unfortunately I have to agree that $150 is cheap these days. A 3rd-party-programmed replacement for my Audi was $250, and the dealer wanted $400. Just get it from Tesla and enjoy convenience. It’s a small price to pay for the privilege of not carrying a cell phone!

Good finds!

Hmm, sounds challenging. A 3D printed one will be tough to find I bet, because to do it in one piece a printer would have to have a printable bed area of at least the width of the monitor, which translates to an expensive printer and probably not owned by many 3D enthusiasts. You could print...

The Tesla flaps are ok, and they do work. Here's a comparison with Rally Armor. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-vs-rally-armor-mud-flaps-coverage-comparison-pics.225732/

Used for about 1 month. $30, free shipping. Includes mounting clips.

I’m in the same boat as @ArcticStation, but hey, just use it as an excuse to go to Quebec.

Agreed 100%. PPF is a requirement, with wrapped edges as you suggest. But without flaps even the PPF gets trashed very quickly... the PPF on my rear doors already needs to be replaced after just one winter season without flaps. I wish there had been more flap options back in December!

I tried the Tesla flaps, and they did make a significant difference. The "rock rain" was cut dramatically. However, I still could hear more rocks peppering the sides than I wanted, so I decided to take the plunge on the Brooklyn-priced Rally Armor flaps and try those instead. I haven't driven...

Congrats to the winners, hopefully someone will make an install video! And thanks again to @Light Harmonic

Jay, you should start a new thread for this either in the overall Model Y section, or in the TMC Community > Americas > New England section. Good luck!

Y4D GIVEAWAY The speakers look great! You know what else would be cool? Give out a few 50% off coupons so that a handful of us non-winners can still get onboard and enjoy your work!

If you go, be sure to stop at Anthony’s Food Shop just down the street. I promise you won’t regret it.

I owned an older Q5 for a while, and it was a sweet ride. But the reliability was atrocious, the maintenance pricey, and of course as everyone knows, the MMI was (and still is in current models) an embarrassment. I test drove the e-tron prior to buying the MY, and the philosophical interior...

Good Work Wraps in York, ME wrapped my Y with Xpel PPF and did a good job. Close enough to NH!

I like Nextzett’s Cockpit Premium and Lederpflege https://www.amazon.com/nextzett-92470515-Cockpit-Premium-16-9/dp/B0002Z2MZ4 https://www.amazon.com/nextzett-92480515-Leather-Care-8-5/dp/B0002Z2MZE

Get the Tesla front mudflaps ASAP. I didn’t have them and my rear doors have been destroyed by just one winter of sanded roads. I just added them recently. Before flaps, it sounded like it was raining sand whenever I drove on pavement that least bit of sand on it. With flaps, near silence...

For me noise reduction kits made no difference. When sharing dB measurements, please note if they are A- or C-weighted! https://www.noisemeters.com/help/faq/frequency-weighting/

Teslamate. Highly recommended. adriankumpf/teslamate

I agree, the gloss black is no good. I wrapped mine with a carbon-fiber pattern vinyl wrap from Abstract Ocean. Looks like a factory finish and only took 30 minutes. Highly recommended! Center Console Vinyl Wrap for Model 3 & Y

Well I wouldn't complain about getting $7k myself, but don't forget this isn't directed at just Tesla owners. The object is to incentivize ALL EV purchases, from the most-affordable to the more extravagant. It's a modest step in the right direction to accelerate the shift away from...
