    2023 MYP—mild modifications and future plans

    All cleaned up after the 3500 mile road trip and sporting the same black and matte CF scheme as my 6 year old’s motorcycle 😁

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    In the middle of a 3000 mile round trip road adventure from Florida to Arizona and back. I’m planning on making a separate post on my experience but this was too cool to pass up. Stumbled on Tucumcari, NM, the inspiration for Cars’ Radiator Springs, and stayed the night in a cool mid century...

    What side skirts are those? Looks awesome.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Amazing. Install was simple, no drilling into any plastic, used mounting holes that were there. Provided all high quality hardware. It’s finished all the way around (I.e. smooth on the bottom) so shouldn’t negatively affect aero. Feels rock solid. It is 1x1 standard weave CF, not 2x2 twill...

    Got the JDP Engineering lip wrapped with XPEL Stealth PPF. 🔥

    Thanks man, it was the photo of your Y that made me reach out for JDP!

    Finally got the JDP Engineering front lip installed. Super easy install, my 8 year old and I knocked it out in about 15 minutes, no drilling into any plastic whatsoever. Feels rock solid. No wind noise. Would HIGLY recommend.

    The Vehicle that Convinced Me to Go Electric

    Most of my lawn care equipment is Ryobi One+. When my Hustler zero turn conks out from the salt air I’m replacing it with the Ego. How is the electric outboard? I’d love an electric boat but they’re an order of magnitude more expensive than the $15k used runabout I have.

    The Vehicle that Convinced Me to Go Electric

    If the EX-C was street legal it would be my pick in a heartbeat. I’m definitely more of an advanced street rider but a novice dirt rider so I feel like I probably won’t ride hard enough to break the Zero. That Rivian is beautiful btw.

    The Vehicle that Convinced Me to Go Electric

    What happened? That’s the only thing that’s scaring me off…I hear horror stories but I also hear people that haven’t had any problems whatsoever. I wish one of the legacy companies or even Surron would make a street legal electric DS. I just can’t justify spending $9k+ for something I can’t...

    The Vehicle that Convinced Me to Go Electric

    He started on a Burromax TT350r (350w/10” tires) at 5 and has been mountain biking on local singletrack since he was 3. We’re kind of a two wheel family lol. We have a few acres that he and his brother bang around on a few hours every day when the weather is good. And it goes without...

    The Vehicle that Convinced Me to Go Electric

    3kw peak, 2kw continuous, $1600 delivered. It’s a 60V battery. 35mph on flat hard pack with me (195lb) on it, a little faster with my 8 year old son. I bought it for him as an upgrade from his Burromax TT350r (which is also awesome). There’s apparently a $600 plug and play controller and...

    Sad about Plaid? Attention past or present Porsche 911 Owners!

    Sorry. Plaid. Part of the appeal would be having a 9 second factory stock car haha

    Sad about Plaid? Attention past or present Porsche 911 Owners!

    Following this with interest because I’m planning on cross shopping an MSP with a 991.1 Turbo/Turbo S as my next car. Just bought an MYP as my first EV and am loving the driving dynamics and speed but tbh I’m kind of a showy guy when it comes to vehicles and I wish the MSP had a little more...

    2023 Cadillac LYRIQ

    That’s pretty well bought at $57.5k. Beautiful color scheme. Since there seems to be a market shortage, what about taking delivery and then selling it for somewhere in between what you paid and sticker?

    2023 Cadillac LYRIQ

    I drove one before I got the Model Y and I REALLY liked it. Two things swayed me to the MYP—supercharger network/NACS and what Car and Driver called the “anti-latte spillage” programming. You can’t get full power below 40mph even in the AWD. Luxurious and quick on the highway but definitely...

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    I love Porsches. You’d need the Macan EV Turbo to equal the performance of the MYP and there’s no way I’m spending $100k on a compact SUV. My MYP was $45.5k after the tax credit. If I’m dropping close to six figures on a Porsche with some utility, it’s going to be a Panamera Gran Turismo or a...

    2023 MYP—mild modifications and future plans

    For what I shelled out for both pairs I could have just got the CMST ones I really wanted. Oh well.

    2023 MYP—mild modifications and future plans

    Good eye. I’ve already replaced them…vivid racing sent me a different design than I ordered. Started the return process and then bought some from a different store. Unfortunately the ones from the other store said they fit both model 3 and model Y…not so much. Couldn’t get the gap on the...

    2023 MYP—mild modifications and future plans

    Here’s full body with the spacers. I love it. If I knew I was sticking with stock wheels/tires I probably would have gone 25mm for a bit more poke but I didn’t want to be locked in to +40/+48 et and 275 section tires. Just waiting on my PPF shop to get back to me and the lip will be on it...

    Everything installed except the front lip, side skirts, and CF badges (because somehow I only managed to order the front one).

    I don’t have a good before on the rear but here’s the poke after.

    2023 MYP—mild modifications and future plans

    Installed the 20mm spacers all around last night. Here’s a before and after on the front with the ESD carbon flaps.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Where did you get your fog light canards? All the ones I’m finding wrap all the way around to the bottom of the recess which won’t work for the front lip I ordered. I thought I found ones at Vivid Racing that look like yours but the ones they sent me wrap all the way around too.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Badass photo. Almost makes me wish I had gone for the MSM. The carbon and the red calipers just set it off 🤌

    Tesla Owners, Let's Talk: Touchscreen vs. Physical Buttons - What's Your Take?

    The only thing I miss physical buttons for so far is incremental changes. Binary stuff going on/off has not been an issue so far but I usually take a couple tries and a second or two of having my eyes off the road in order to adjust temperature or fan speed to the desired level. Selector...

    2023 MYP—mild modifications and future plans

    Thanks! I ordered the Spigen one off Amazon. Super easy to put on, it came with a bracket that holds everything in place while you’re installing it. No visible difference in resolution/color and it cut 90% of fingerprints. Highly recommend, especially if your whole family is addicted to...

    2023 MYP—mild modifications and future plans

    Thanks man! I’ve cruised the “Picture of your Model Y” thread extensively and there are some drop dead gorgeous cars on there. It’s where I found the JDP lip. I think for almost every car I’ve ever had, from the WRX, to my wife’s 1 series convertible, to a variety of lifted Toyotas, I’ve...

    TuxMat or 3d Maxpider/LCDS Floormats for Model Y?

    Ordered the LDCRS off Amazon, $139 for the whole set including frunk and lower trunk mats. Love them so far.

    2023 Model Y LR GSWF Light Grey PPF

    That color is beautiful! Nardo and Chalk are my two favorite grays and I think I like that one even better. Looks awesome man.

    2023 MYP—mild modifications and future plans

    Purchased my first brand new car since college (which was a 2001 SVT Mustang Cobra that I still have). 2023 MYP, black interior, tow hitch. Paid $53k which I think was a pretty decent price since I’m in a smaller market and it stickered for $55,490. Could have gotten a better deal on an MSM...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Brand new to Tesla. 2023 MYP, black on black with tow hitch (gotta get the mountain bikes around somehow). Took delivery December 31 (Pensacola service center was extremely helpful in getting this accomplished, although the discounts didn’t disappear after the end of the quarter like I thought...
