Lots of 20" tires with the Y-speed rating and in the required load rating. More than 21" for sure. The staggered size for 21" really reduces useful tire selection.

-Sitting water/moisture in your vehicle is not good. Can cause mold and funk. Not sure where youre claiming the exact ingress, but for 3 it was simply excessive snow that fall into the trunk that I was too lazy to fully clean out. (Basically not a car problem, but a me problem). -Whistling is...

Quicksilver. Color code PN00

Well, i actually have a quicksilver MY, and I agree with the 3 other posters who have said separately that it looks like: magnesium, pewter, and gray. I still like it, of course. But it looks less like the bright silvery color thats implied by the name that most people would associate with.

On overcast days it looks like a gray-blue. (Im actually not a fan of that shade). In clear day light it looks steely/silver. The color on the car computer and phone app is multiple shades more blue than one expects.

Theres plenty of brake maintenance videos on youtube, and there are more on the standard cars than there are on the performance cars

The IRS website is very informative and actually written in friendly language. The depreciation is just 1 part of the costs when you calculate actual-costs. The other option is to simply use the mileage-based rate deduction. You can do both and determine which is more beneficial foryou...

ive driven through some serious serious THICK fog, and the forward fog lights make visibility marginally better. its not what i'd ever consider critical. note that the new 3 does not come equipped with them.

It depends what you are accustomed to. Below highway speeds, theres a deficit. Particularly the LR accelerator seems like its (artificially) dulled for the first 500ms of response. (Car seems to "roll" into its acceleration, whereas the P "jumps"). I drove 3P for years and that immediacy is I...

my 23 MYP steering weight feels heavier than 20 M3P for all the same settings and tire sets. this makes sense if they didnt change the steering programming across the 2 cars to provide different boosts. wider wheels and higher overall mass on the Y means more steering torque demanded from the...

Between my 3P and YP i prefer the Y. Never in my life was a crossover/suv person, but i dont hate the higher seating position of the Y. Actually the 3 feels oddly low now. Acceleration feels sufficient on the YP (but unsatisfactory on YLR!) compared to 3P; and the general dynamic...

My car's issue was fixed with a filter swap. (It was overdue for a change anyway). There are a million of general odor-eliminator products out there, and specifically made for car purposes like from Autoglym: https://www.autoglym.com/as150-air-con-sanitiser.html...

It's true that the Induction and the Uberturbine are all produced in a single-sided style, which means that the blades on left vs right side of the car are not symmetric. I would imagine that the blades are merely cosmetic and do not produce too much of an effect that is sensitive to the...

Probably addressed in thread, but all the Model Y RWD vehicles are safe to charge to and rest at 100%, because that state is below the battery's true capacity? Considering buying a Y for my parents who absolutely do not care about performance, or AWD (in the South), but I wouldn't want them to...

my 2020 car got really blurry over the winter. no doubt it was due to scratches from my constantly wiping the rear camera with my finger, soft cloth, tissue, etc, and rubbing road salts and debris across it. i read on official tesla servicing document (but can no longer find it!) that suggest...

can we keep all the non sequitur and red herring out of it and stay within the original premise: that the tesla usb audio player is the worst you've ever tried. so what audio players are better? what other cars source audio from 4+ different usb ports? what bones exactly did you require from a...

sorta pointless to debate matters of opinion on the internet, but i kinda laugh at the suggestion its the worst usb audio player in 2 decades. what are 1, 2, or 3 examples that are better? that it has to re-read the drives between sleep is annoying. agreed on that. the other stuff, lol, yeah...

Cars range is like my net worth: more than I need, less than I want. Its enough. Driving around home I dont need to think about it. Once a week or whenever when it gets low I plug it in. Driving on *real* road trips I plug when the car needs it, which is 1.5-2.5hr, or even 4hr at regional...

very nice configuration.

When Joe Schmo plays something on his audio system, his goal is to enjoy the music, not to reproduce the recorded audio decibel by decibel across the spectrum. Therefore, his tuning target is what makes his ears tickle.

Dead flat on the output system control (ie the car audio app) doesnt guarantee dead flat in actual output, unless the car was tuned to be flat. They often arent. Even if objective measurements of test tones are involved, there's also the issue that a microphone in free air doesnt represent the...

What model (which determines what battery type)

I use for baseline comparison a car that a person might otherwise purchase. For a 3/Y that would be an Audi with supercharged V6 or BMW with turbocharged I6 (which is what I indeed came from). Other more efficient cars arent in same league of performance.

I've survived my whole life doing wheels like this and am still alive. Hand tightening with common lug wrench, which is around 1ft, and using almost bodyweight, approximates to the range of suggested torque. If a car/wheelhub doesnt survive outside of a narrow band of torque, its probably not...

Just got mine with 2024.8.7! (Car was on the update list for 2024.8.3 for a fleeting minute and Tesla yanked it away) The best ive used was a rental Opel with their Intellilux system, because its beam cutouts were so well defined it looks like a stencil The border definition on the Tesla is a...

If its raining it might be windy too. A 10mph headwind wind is as if you were cruising at 82mph instead of 72mph. If that was true, in the detailed energy card it would have told you very specifically “wind from [direction] cost/saved you x%”, along with other consumption information. Next...

L2 and even occasional L3/DC chargers show me 85% charging efficiency. This is based off what the car computer shows as kwh added vs what the charger meter bills for

The reason to use % is it dissuades people from relying on the false precision of the mileage. Thats because the battery capacity is only estimated (based on voltage), and the consumption is variable. Assuming those 2 things are perfectly known — eg “this car will cover 150 miles no matter...

Fluid gasoline quantity you can measure by weight or volume. Battery capacity and state of charge is inferred. Its like asking you to lift an arbitrary weight in the late afternoon, and using that to estimate maximum weight you could have lifted at the start of the day, and how much weight in...

So far i havent noticed issues from the dash itself! But i def prefer texture and something like a light birch wood or a white cloth wouldve been nice

I have a bit of glare on the screen which i dont on my other car, affecting things like reversing cam during the day. I dont know if its due to the reflection of the white seat…and/or the screen protector installed (which ironically is supposed to be glare reducing!)

Wish Conti PremiumContact7 came in OEM size or similar. I dont mind the 21” prices as much as the selection is terrible. Life was good in the 235/40/18 era :)

The tire didnt cut because its prominent. Its the opposite. The tire is stretched and theres minimal sidewall, so there is minimal “give”. Not seeing metal doesnt indicate it is safe, because the metal belt may not be on the sidewall in the construction. If cut looks deep, i would not trust it.

Why would that chart show energy gain from regen? It's a chart of the EPA's testing protocol. You're certainty free to purchase a dynanometer or find a controlled environment to conduct the test and produce the results yourself. Can you show how your hypothesis about simplicity or FSD has any...

So the test cycles involve repeatedly slowing the car to a stop. When the car regain more energy in the stopping phases due to Hold, it yields higher efficiency results and longer published range.

Even super gentle application of the brakes are sufficient to "scrub" ice and salt off. If you want a more thorough use of friction brakes, set the car into service mode, then activate the brake burnishing program which will fully disable regen. You don't have to run the full program, but it's...

You can get statutory 14 day return policy on consumer goods, too, if you're willing to pay more for the goods. Do you want to pick an example of a product and compare prices Europe vs US?

Quick math using average prices for NY-NJ region over last few years (from Bureau of Labor Services) 180k miles at 30mpg using midgrade gas = $24,000 51500kwh charging at home with 15% overhead loss = $12-13,000 Net saving of $10k+

software updates are going to be the least significant thing that you'll have to care about 1. cars take time between production, transport, and final delivery to customer. it wont always have the latest version 2. once car is delivered to customer, it may take a additional weeks before car is...

generic warning. eventually you'll even want to adjust them yourselves. lights go up, down, left, right, and you dont want them pointing into other drivers eyes. pretty simple and youre not going to kill the car

Where I drive, I never need non Tesla stations, and don't want to put up with with the risk of the hassle with them (the few times I tried). The 3rd party stations are often non-functional, or difficult, or slow. Add the fact that they have fewer stalls compounds the risk of not having any...

the sharp images of vehicles are fake generic icons of vehicles detected around you the so-called cloud is an actual 3d construction of all the shapes of things around you. the cloud continues to build as the car moves around and captures more detail. you can use your finger to rotate the...

the other thing about dye transfer is to not let them build up and get really baked in! i keep a bottle of detailing spray and microfiber in the door pocket. any time i see a hint of blue show up, i wipe up immediately

red is such a good color bugt you see so few of them in real life

my bad. i misinterpreted from your handle that you might be those anti oil whackos who are also hypocritical because the raw precursors to the carbon threads and resin are synthesized from petroleum byproducts. but i see that you are a moderate person. i shouldve nuked my post if it were...

And the resin? I want to hear the oilphobe man say it

What are carbon fiber material derived from?

that part of the hub assembly is going to rust on any car after 1 day exposure to water. the paint on this thread is obvious and egregious defect... this one is not
