    My car is hallucinating.

    Mine sees the phantom turn signals all the time. I think, yesterday, it was actually seeing my turn signal reflected off the rear reflector of the car though. That may be it, just seeing light reflected off the car that has a blinking pattern. I still think it's so cool when it gets it right...

    How are your 2024 Fremont built Ys so far in terms of interior and external quality?

    So far so good. Got a couple months down so far and have had hands and eyes all over the paint between washes and ceramic coating. No annoying rattles to mention. No ill-fitting panels interior or exterior. No abnormal looking panel gaps. No more orange peel than my former audis and...

    Tinting front side windows only -- est. cost?

    $160 out my way in Pennsylvania. Did mine a couple weeks ago. Removal is a bit of a pain, but DIY-able. I've used a steamer, like you do for clothes to get it nice and warm, then peel off in one piece. Heat then peel some, then heat and peel more. It does leave "boogers" of adhesive here...

    Foam cannon/gun for "regular" garden hose?

    They make one but it's not nearly as good of foam production as the pressure washer ones (i have both). That said, i have never really been all that happy with the washes i get using either. The foam is fun and looks cool, but always leaves a haze of dirt (or road salt) or whatever was on the...

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    Bridgeville (Presto) experience was great, hope the same for you. I'm actually closer to Wexford showroom (like 3 miles away), but they let me know that all cars had to be delivered at the Bridgeville location due to licensing as a dealership vs a showroom/service center.

    Make your robotaxi predictions for the 8/8 reveal

    limiting it to certain routes that have been thoroughly tested in a limited number of cities may be a start and a bit more realistic. Construction, bad weather, and the driver's inputs make FSD a whole different animal. I think the robotaxi can be released in a controlled manner and has the...

    new Tesla Model Y has a rear wheel alignment issue

    At 20k i'd be needing new tires anyway, since i've got a heavy right foot. Haven't had a new car's OEM tires last much more than that before needing replacement (due to even wear). I guess at this point you're aligned and ready for a new set of rubber. Not sure tesla or anybody else would be...

    Looking for a good body shop in central PA to replace a rear hatch on my 2024 model Y. It was backed into while parked.

    Q1 Supercharger promotion

    Mine showed 6 months initially too. Messaged on the app, they said they'd forward to the appropriate team for action and within maybe 3-4 days it was updated to 2 years.

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    Clay bar might remove it. For the consumer version of the crystal serum (CSL), they say that polishing compound and a DA polisher will remove it and the pro grade stuff requires wet sanding to get it off. I guess if you follow the strongest to weakest progression, an aggressive clay might...

    Charging speed with wall connector and MYP

    For reference, my MYP on the mobile connector only squeaks out 25 miles per hour at full tilt. I ordered a wall connector hoping for 44, but i will be happy with 36, i guess. I definitely get the kWh is the preferred term, but MPH (as it is in the literature) definitely makes more sense to my...

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    Pretty sure the gtechniq csl cites 5 year protection. That's what i used. Crystal Serum Light - Car Ceramic Coating It was about $65 and maybe 2 hours of my time including prep. Gotta be careful it doesn't cure on you before you wipe it, other than that it's pretty forgiving.

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    Nope, just the ceramic. I like the concept, but can't justify the cost.

    The front tweeters are not my favorites.

    Focal Inside IS T3Y 100 seems to be the components in the front. There are a few companies that seem to sell whole system speaker upgrades too. A little pricey though.

    2023 MYP Firewall accessibility?

    Mine is a '24 and it has the large (~3") grommet with two unused nipples for passthrough. Passenger side and pretty accessible. You can see it with the upper cowl removed. I snagged the pic below from the hansshow f9 install video. Mine looked very similar. There's a nipple like the one...

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    I definitely have hit my head a few times on it being lower than stock though. Right on the dang latch too. Fine in the garage, but when you back up to a curb, watch out.

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    The red does look really nice. Definitely a way to set yourself apart in the world of dark gray, black, and white.

    Horrible experience trying to buy a MYP

    Not that it would necessarily help in your case, but maybe try messaging them on the app? That was how i set my delivery appointment. I replied to the "tesla delivery" sender. They were pretty slow to get back to me at times, but ultimately did get me set up to go pick up the car.

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    yup, installed the evening it came. I watched a video and then just did it. I want to say it was maybe a 20 min job. I'm probably not the best to convey the difficulty as i use to install car audio and alarms for a living in the early 2000s and have since replaced a few car's gas engines...

    Hansshow F9 9 inch display with camera and air vents

    That one looks to be missing the air vent passthrough though. That was a big selling point for me.

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    Good Morning All, Wanted to share my positive outcome experience as i see a lot of negatives on here and I imagine i am not the only one who felt generally good about it all. Preface: This is my first EV. I've been a big fan of the VW and Audi ICE offerings for the last 12 or so years...

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    Sport here. I bought the car primarily for the acceleration.

    Model Y minor scratch

    You might be able to get away with a dr color chip type of kit. Home - Dr. ColorChip or the kit that tesla sells, which appear to be the same concept. I've had good success filling in rock chips in my cars in the past with them. It will make yours go from looking like a crosshatch to more of...

    Model Y minor scratch

    that's not minor IMHO, you need a body shop to assess that one. pretty deep. Gotta quit offending the ICE drivers, they're vengeful

    2024 Model Y Performance lead time?

    I messaged in the app to see if mine made it (was originally enroute to Chicago but after i ordered they re-routed). Initially i thought the EPA delay was going to be the slow part. About a half hour later they messaged back that it arrived and asked what day was good for pickup. I said today...

    2024 Model Y Performance lead time?

    Watching this thread closely as i bet most of you are. MYP ordered last Saturday under "available inventory" and "arriving soon". It's supposed to be at the local Tesla on Sunday for estimated pickup between 3/11-3/20. In this thread i am seeing i'm just a baby as far as wait time, so...

    Where do i find this? I am supposed to take delivery of a MYP next week and will be paying cash plus trade in. Does it automatically apply or do i need to ask for it?
