    Ceramic Coating for Model Y

    i pretty much did everything you mentioned in your post. got the ceramic tint on all the glass (roof, front, back and sides) did a complete clear ppf and the ceramic coating to keep the black looking shiny. i am happy with my decision. it is pricy and not for everyone. living in texas, any...

    yes. can confirm that they were all replaced. i was there on saturday afternoon to charge my car since i still have no power at my home cause of the storm.

    Thieves steal high-voltage Tesla Supercharger cables from Montrose(Houston) charging station

    i guess they're just now figuring it out. not sure how much more or less they're getting from these cords but seems like it's a lot easier and quicker than going under a truck to steal a cat

    Thieves steal high-voltage Tesla Supercharger cables from Montrose(Houston) charging station

    oh definitely. that's been a problem in this area for a long time. first it was AC units at homes and businesses...then the cat convertors off trucks and now charging cords.

    Thieves steal high-voltage Tesla Supercharger cables from Montrose(Houston) charging station

    they're trying to push the narrative that they're anti-ev or anti-elon groups out there vandalizing these chargers. 🤷‍♂️

    Model Y Tint Specs and Thoughts

    yeah i think it's like $100 or so to tint just the back windows. i've tinted every car i've owned. little heat reduction is a plus but also like having a little privacy as well.

    Tire losing air

    actually did this yesterday. woke up in the morning and was notified that my rear 2 tires were low on air..pumped them up and went to work. after work, notified that both were very low again. hit up discount on the way home and they found a large nail in one and a small nail and a screw in...

    Texas heat

    i got the whole car tinted with xpel ceramic. roof, front, back and all sides. also use the roof and windshield shade when parked outside in the sun. when you're in texas during the summer...there isn't much stopping it. it's going to get extremely hot and humid here. i park in my garage at...

    Keeps Staying the Highway Passing Lane

    same in texas. it's considered the fast lane, but some highways will have signs that say that the left lane is for passing only. in those areas, you can get pulled over for just riding it and not using it to pass. i've been pulled over before but just got a warning since they didn't catch me...

    Keeps Staying the Highway Passing Lane

    i hardly use the fsd during the trial, but this reason is why i won't be paying $100 a month for it. i do like the visuals but not worth it just for that.

    FSD free trial is over

    only used it a couple of times. i didn't undo the change lane setting and it'll keep automatically moving me over to the left lane of the highway. since it only maxes out at 85 mph setting, i would end up slowing down that lane and had to disengage to move back. i do like the visuals on the...

    Road Trip Going Through Major Cities - Trunk or Frunk for Security?

    no matter where i am, if i have things that might be of value, it'll be in the frunk or sub trunk. i feel like frunk might be safer but it all depends on size of course. for the most part, i try not to keep anything in the car at all times

    Why does my charger start and then completely stop?

    have you checked on your app if the charger is on a charging schedule? like it only charges during the off peak times, 12am - 6am. mine was automatically set to that so when i plug the car in, it does the same as you described but once midnight hits, it starts charging.

    handle

    i just realized there wasn't one when i first picked up my dry cleaning and didn't have the handle to hang my clothes in the back seat. would be nice to be able to have a least one to hang all my dry cleaning back there

    Tesla Newbie - PPF Necessary?

    i have a black model y. all my cars have been black. love a shiny black car. just soo clean. went with the clear gloss ppf to keep it new and clean. having a black car is high maintenance but it's something i'm willing to deal with and have been doing so for many years with all my cars.

    With a carbon fiber spoiler, do you go to an automatic car wash anymore?

    New 2024 model y 1st tesla owner

    i live pretty much near the city and close to the center of everything. my family members live pretty far out in the burbs so when they go into the city to spend their day, a lot of them stop by my place to charge up their cars. then they raid my fridge and snack pantry.

    Tesla France! WTF!

    the only experiences i've had with sales persons in paris were the stores/boutiques. they really didn't want to help or sell us anything in their store. felt like they got more upset when we were speaking to them in english. hope everything got cleared and you were able to purchase your tesla.
