    Would you Purchase a model Y Again?

    what other vehicles are you looking at? my 2014 Kia Sportage SX (120,000 miles) turbo charger needed replacing, and would cost $5,000 to replace. fun vehicle to drive, if not for all the repairs, engine went limp mode and needed replacing around 60,000 miles. high pressure fuel pump leaked and...

    Texas heat

    this week the cabin temp got up to 134'F even with cabin protect fan only on, while checking the app around 2pm at work. the cabin protect usually keeps the temp around 119'F. the past two days the vanity mirror had fallen out when I got off work. i guess the adhesive got soft and lost its grip?

    last Thursday we were on our way to my son's orchestra concert when the storms came through the West side of the Houston area, near Cypress/Katy, one of the tornadoes hit a few miles to the north of the high school.

    Demo car has scratches

    i bought a demo with 1297miles. Tesla says its "New-Previous service/Demo vehicle" they even replaced the two right wheels that had curb rash, and the front bumper that had two deep gouges for free during delivery like it was a new delivery.

    Spare tire - Modern vs StanceMagic vs Tsportline

    yes, you will use whatever lug nuts are on your car. if you have stock/factory wheels, then when you put on the Modern Spare, you would use the larger/wider holes. if you have aftermarket wheels, then when you put on the Modern Spare, you would use the smaller/narrower holes.

    AS-1 Line Tint

    Several times I was driving Westward in the early evening as the sun was low and right at the AS-1 area at the top of the windshield, been thinking about adding a strip, finally did it this evening. The tint shop where I had all the windows done was charging around $150 for the strip, but they...

    I am frankly shocked by how stunningly ugly the Cybertruck is

    i've seen some different wraps that make the CT look awesome, saw one on youtube a few days ago but can't find the vid now, it was wrapped like an old fighter plane. just saw this one on FB, Halo wrap

    Spare tire - Modern vs StanceMagic vs Tsportline

    I haven't noticed any additional noise or rattles. the most difficult part was pushing and folding back the padding, its fairly thick and rigid. i believe both sets of holes are 5x114.3, the narrower set is aftermarket and the wider set are factory size.

    Spare tire - Modern vs StanceMagic vs Tsportline

    Refused delivery on MYP

    So Tesla refused to fix all the problems? 2 months ago I bought my blue MYLR through inventory, it was a demo with 1300 miles, it was located in Austin (Pond Springs), a little over 2hrs away(trade in). the two right wheels had a little curb rash. the service advisor was real helpful and said...

    Might Tesla Not Do End of Quarter Discounts, If they're Decreasing Production Instead?

    depends on how much inventory is left towards the end of the quarter. right now there's a bunch of MY's. there's several hundred at this parking lot

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    i've had mine for 2 month (over 3,000 miles) and have not charged to 100%. i have mine on % charge instead of miles left. also, there is a margin of error, several youtubers have shown you can drive a few miles past 0% charge.

    The Modern Spare tire doesn't secure in the trunk, or does it?

    1st time i've seen this video, haven't seen it here in any of the spare tire threads either. basically a 4 Modern Spare spare tires torture test on a M3P.

    The Modern Spare tire doesn't secure in the trunk, or does it?

    yeah, it'll leave a crease or two. when its time to trade it could try warming it up with a hair dryer or heat gun on low and then put a heavy bag on top to get it close to factory shape. just did it last night, i have mine facing down. and used a scrap piece of 2x4 to hold up the hanging end...

    Texas heat

    the side that faces up has some sort of metallic material, supposed to block or reflect some of the heat/light. on regular roofs, there is a thin layer of insulation. with glass roof there isn't. driving while its sunny and even with the A/C on and pointed upwards I can definitely feel the...

    Spare tire necessary?

    it will not. it most likely won't even fit just the 18x4 wheel by itself, without the tire. the tire is 145mm or 5.8" wide at the treads. the Y frunk is 15" tall at the tallest point (back side). measuring diagonally from the front bottom to the back top is 19"

    LFP v’s NCA… and the winner is…

    degradation and range anxiety used to be my biggest reasons for not going EV. but since Tesla has built so many SC along major highways range anxiety doesn't bother me anymore. and after watching the Out of Spec cross country 4 EV truck race I've learned the lower you drain the battery during...
