I see, so the EQP44 needs an additional attachment (pressure washer)? Or is it more involved and upgrades to plumbing would be needed, etc.? The Foam Blaster 6 is about half the price, but you mentioned that both work well? Would you say that the EQP324 is a lot better?

Thanks everyone for your replies. How about this one... Chemical Guys EQP324 Would that work on a regular garden hose?

Hi. I'm thinking about getting a foam cannon or gun that I would connect to my regular garden hose. I don't have a pressure washer or anything like that. Is there a decent foam cannon/gun that I can get that would attach to my garden hose or would I also be needing a pressure washer? Thanks.

quick question though. any particular shoe polish you recommend? Wouldn't it possible rub off?

I understand. Will give shoe polish a try. Thanks.

Someone (no me) rubbed the inside of the door area (see pic) when cleaning something off of it. I don't think the white marks are a stain, but rather the excessive rubbing, peeled away the black. Has anyone ever experienced this and might be able to recommend a remedy? Possibly a polish or...

I have about 15,400 miles on all four original tires. Our 2023 MYLR is about one year old (purchased on 12/31/23). The tires have not been rotated yet. I need to purchase one tire because the plug on the passenger rear tire has a slow leak. It was recommended that I purchase two because I was...

Can anyone else comment on the OEM Tesla paint repair kit vs. Dr. Colorchip? Thanks...

Isnt' it always best to get OEM? Especially for paint? Does Dr. Colorchip match as well? What would make it better than the Tesla repair kit?

What is a wing?

Thanks for your reply. I will try doing the touchup. I'm not looking to do a flawless job, but my main goal is to make sure the area is free from the possibility of rust forming. I also am not eager to pay $800. If you were in my shoes, you would do the touchup yourself? How can I go about...

We got a small paint chip on the hatch of our Model Y. (We opened it in a garage with a low roof). Caught it in time before major damage, but I'm attaching two pics of a small paint chip that occurred. I contacted an authorized Tesla body shop where we had some work done previously for a quote...

Pretty sure I can. From 95% I drove 250 miles and had 20% left. Range is pretty good I’d say.

Is this it...

Thanks for your reply and recommendations. If a non-decimal gauge displayed "41", that could mean anywhere from 41.0-41.9, right? How would that cross over into the 40 or 42 range?

Thanks again. Do you have a link you can share for the Sears Craftsman 120V inflator? That's the one you use at home and would need to be plugged in? Do you keep the Ryobi handheld one in your Tesla?

If we do lose a keycard, is there a way to deactivate an older one? Should I be worried about that keycard "being out there" and able to run our car?

Thanks very much for your replies. What model would you recommend for one to have at home that I would plug in to an outlet? I basically don’t want to have to worry about going to a gas station/Costco for air .

I would drive and pay for air. But my other cars has spares so I wasn’t as concerned. I always has thought about it too but never got around to getting one

Hi, I've noticed that the tire pressure on all four of my tires are low (37). I also remember that I have to pay for air at most stations in my area. So, I'd like to purchase an air compressor. Should I look for one that I can keep in my model Y at all times or should I focus on one that I can...

I'm going to a place called All American Paint Protection in Maryland today. They use Xpel Prime XR Plus. I'm thinking about doing 15% on the four windows and hatch and 45% on the windshield (possibly 55%). My main concern is getting ticketed. I just received a ticket for no front plate...

I've been researching this more and it seems that the best product to go with is Xpel Prime XR plus. I'm thinking of doing 20% on the fronts and 50%-60% on the windshield. I really need to cool the cabin down as best I can. Not sure why it's so hot, probably because of the black interior?

Thank you all for your replies. I've purchased a microfiber glove from Amazon and some microfiber rags from the Rag Company. For washing these items, is it ok to run through the wash with other clothes and then hang dry them or better to wash separately?

So, I went to one shop that I researched and had good reviews for tinting and they only use SunTek. It seems that SunTek is a "mid-range" product? After researching a little bit, it seems that XPel or 3M would be the best in ceramic? Should I find a place that would do one of those two products...

Hi. Not sure what you mean. What is the AS-1 line? From what I'm reading in other posts and Google searches, it seems that the 2023 MYLR would roughly have 20% tint on the rear windows and 24% on the back hatch. It appears to be recommended to tint the front windshield anywhere from 55%-70%...

Hi, I am in need of some basic car wash advice. I think I have always been doing things a bit wrong and would like to properly wash our Model Y. On previous cars I've just basically been putting some Turtle Wax in a bucket and mixing that with water and using older undershirts (rags) to apply...

Thanks for your reply. I see. So the back two windows on the Model Y come with a factory tint of approximately 20%? In your opinion, do you think 20% would be too dark? I'm mainly concerned about night time, looking out the side mirrors, etc? Also, since the legal limit in Maryland is 35%...

Thanks very much.

Thank you. Because I didn't see that earlier on my phone :cool:

Thanks for your reply. Where are you located? When did you purchase your Y? Do you know the percentages you tinted?

I purchased our Model Y LR in January this year. I'm looking to get the front driver and passenger windows tinted as well as possible the windshield. What percentage are the back windows tinted on the Model Y? Does it vary by state? I was reading in some other posts that it is 20 percent. My...

I might go for the Magbak, but then I'd have to get new cases for our phones and I don't mind charging with the cable. I might actually prefer that. So, I've also been trying to find this one by Temai (pic attached). However, whenever I follow a link to it, it brings me to a Temai wireless...

Hi Everyone, In my search for a holder/charger for my iPhone 12, I might have settled on the MagBak for my Model Y (2023). I do have a couple of questions... I was hesitant to purchase a holder that had adhesive due to issues I've had with other holder (on other cars) with the adhesive...

I'm also thinking of at least getting the front windows tinted to match the rear windows. Is it recommended to have the windshield tinted as well. Do you find that helps a lot with glare? If I do the windshield, it seems that 70% is the recommended amount? Is the rear window also already tinted?

Are both ends of this magnetic? (I'm actually not even sure if the back of the Tesla screen can hold a magnetic device)... I've been looking for something like this, but holding off, because I find that even a plastic suction cup would eventually turn to glue and mess up the back of the screen.

I'm sort of torn between corded and cordless. How do you keep the vacuum charged? Do you charge it from the USB-C on the car or bring it in to your home every once in a while? With the corded, I guess you don't have to worry about that, but also have to worry about the cord in the car, etc...

Hi. Just curious. Do you keep a damp microfiber towel in the car? How often do you clean the microfiber towels that you use on the interior?

What compressor do you have? Thanks...

Hi. Does anyone have a suggestion for a corded portable vacuum that I could keep in one of the trunk compartments on a Model Y? Thanks.

Why not use a corded vacuum? I see some on Amazon that have long cords that would reach throughout a car.

Does this one charge the phone too? I'd like a phone holder (iPhone) too, but just to hold the phone. I'd prefer to charge it with the USB lightning cable.

No problem. I don't mind driving further either if it will keep me out of traffic.

Sure there is... Just don't go near there in the first place :) Would have been faster for me to go through Harrisburg, PA down just south of Baltimore.

I appreciate your detailed reply. I understand that Tesla navigation will get me to where I want to go, but I still have to say that I am not confident that it will do it well. I should have paid attention when it routed me through I-95 rush hour near Philly and Baltimore. That's on me. But...

The other route I would have taken and should have did have superchargers, just spaced out differently. Does anyone like to still use Google Maps on their phone and have a phone holder recommendation? Thanks for all of the replies...

I’ve been trying to use Tesla maps on trips, but can’t find myself able to trust it. I do find Tesla maps ok for local driving, but for longer trips I’m finding it tough to rely on it to find the best route especially when it comes to identifying traffic and route based on superchargers. I...

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much. Any specific brand of microfiber towel you recommend? Is it ok to use the microfiber towel without wetting it with a spray? Would you recommend 303 spray with a microfiber towel? For the exterior, what kind of soap do you use?

What type of cloth would you recommend to wipe down the interior and exterior of a Tesla? I've tried some general cleaning rags on the interior and noticed that they leave some lint behind. Inside I basically just want to wipe the dust, keep the seats and doors clean and maybe wipe down the...

Is there a way to not turn on the climate control when I choose to precondition the car prior to a departure? I find myself having to turn off the climate each time I precondition. Similarly, if I do want to have the climate on to get the car to a certain temperature, but don't want to have the...
