I bet BYD's auto wipers work well enough to not be a safety issue. Every other car manufacturer on earth has it figured out going back decades.

This isn't what this thread is about so no need to get into a debate over the viability of powder coating car wheels but... I'll chime in with the counter to this recommendation to powder coat the wheels: do NOT powder coat the factory wheels. There are several reasons to include: it adds more...

Usually, when it's a laundry list of errors that are related to items powered by 12v like this, it's the 12v battery. If you bought it from a car dealership they often don't charge properly or it could just be due to time. If it's the latter, just change the 12v battery and call it a day. If...

Another great example of a solution looking for a problem that didn't exist at the expense of functionality of a safety-related mechanism in a machine capable of serious injury or worse if distractions are introduced. Same as moving the horn from the center of the steering wheel to a capacitive...

Sure. That's also why Tesla offered a round steering wheel option after they said they wouldn't. It had nothing to do with sales.

Share the source? You read posts on TMC? I lost count of how many times someone has mentioned that as the sole reason they won't buy a new one over the last few years. It's similar conversations on Tesla groups on Reddit, Facebook, etc. I don't have a single source where everyone has stated that...

Everyone knows that red on white is not only the best looking color but also the fastest one.

"Correct pricing" for an item is what the owner is willing to accept and a buyer is willing to pay. You aren't the arbiter of that figure. That attitude has successfully run off almost all of the sellers so... Good job?

How DARE you question the validity of BobSmith's claims! 🤣

You say that like I'm not aware they removed them from the 3 or something. Let their sales numbers continue to tank when potential buyers continue voicing how they miss the stalks and see how long it takes them to bring them back as an option. Same ish happened with the yoke. Stalks are next...

$21k is bad enough and I heard horror stories of nearly $20k in years previously but I assumed that was the total cost as in you get to keep the replaced parts. Maybe you can recoup nearly $10k on a battery pack that just needs one of the modules replaced or something to help recoup the cost...

Yeah, who wants a car that can do 0-60 in less than 2.5 seconds in any weather condition and is one of the most timeless designs with the most advanced features the automotive industry has ever seen? /sarcasm Anyone who thinks a cult following of the Model S P100D isn't going to form once they...

I'll state the obvious: TMC charges to list in the Marketplace now (which isn't the worst thing ever, helps to keep the spam/scams down IMHO) but they also seemingly have very little desire to enforce their rule about thread crapping on listings from those who just paid to use their service...

Love it. I'd have a difficult time deciding between Ultra Red & Quicksilver. Fortunately Tesla refuses to bring the stalks back so I'm not faced with that difficult decision. Saves me all kids of money. Thanks Tesla!

If you plan to drive in the winter/snow, look into Continental Extremecontact DWS06+ as it's our favorite tire in all conditions. Feel free to search here as there's TONS of info on the subject that you can use to make your decision.

Define "upgrade" as you see it. Like aside from version numbers that can make it seem like v3 is inherently better than v2. If you don't have a specific reason to replace it, I wouldn't advise replacing a perfectly good v2 w/ a v3 model.

Tesla bringing a darker wheel here doesn't confirm the new Model Y is also coming with it.

Right. Which is why I posted it almost as if I knew what your retort was going to be. Which also has zero bearing on the actual point of the post (not mine) that you challenged. Classic misdirection. "Your grammar or punctuation isn't 100% accurate therefore your entire statement is invalid!"...

BMW themselves have done nothing to counter this claim so why are you? Why are you so hung up on this minor and unimportant aspect? This really seems like a silly distraction from the overall point which still stands. People overreact about Elon's alleged personal dealings and then virtue...

I'm usually a proponent of stealth wrap on everything... Except this color. If you're going to PPF it my vote would be standard gloss for Quicksilver.

To be clear, you're defending the BMW logo not being a plane's propeller or that they had no contributions to the German cause during WWII? Because both would be wrong. I'm just trying to better understand which incorrect point you're trying to make here.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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. 😂

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.

I, too, was a bit confused by this seemingly contradictory statement. 🍿

Yes.

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...

What's wrong with my brain?

Nice try Isis.

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.

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!

TBH there are some that are total dumpster fires that could use this kind of treatment. If yours was one of the good ones then this certainly sucks.

You could probably fit something like this:

..if you disable Cabin Overheat Protection. This is not a difficult concept to understand.
