Agreed. BTW, the white aluminum I went with is actually Satin not matte. I have never been a huge fan of the matte finishes and the satin is sort of an in between compromise that reflects light in a good way, but without the high gloss look. Personally, I also think the lighter colors show...

I purchased my AG wheels locally from 503 Motoring. Great shop in Portland, OR. Efficiency is usually around 300-310 wh/m. Not really a concern. It's a performance model and I drive it as such. I can easily get between superchargers going 80 mph when I do travel, but most of my driving is...

Thanks! it looks more light silver, which is what I was going for. Probably even lighter than the original silver paint that Tesla offered. I did the staggered setup for looks. Makes the car look much more aggressive and sporty. No difference in comfort that I can tell (MP coils help that...

Thanks! $3,200 for the car wrap. $400 for ceramic coating on top of wrap, and $400 to do the wheels. I got several quotes that were much higher and no one else would touch the wheels. I already had chrome delete, so it's just the car and mirror caps. I will say they didn't take anything...

Quick pic of my newly wrapped car and wheels in beautiful downtown Lake Oswego Oregon!

Posting up a before and after of my AG M652 wheels that I just had the faces wrapped (along with the entire car). Love, love, love these wheels. Wrapping everything makes me a feel like I have a new car :) What do you guys think of the color combo? Satin White Aluminum on the car, and Satin...

I haven't had the chance yet. Should be able to do some this weekend and will report back!

Just got mine installed at AR Motorsports in Portland. Great shop! Absolutely love the Öhlins Suspension! Night and day difference in the behavior of the car. Highly recommended if you want a better ride and overall better feel.

I thought there were 12 clicks? Perhaps I'm wrong, but I told them to go just three clicks away from full soft. I had read another owner using this setting and loved it, so that's how I picked starting there. It doesn't feel mushy or "soft" at all. It feels just right to me over the everyday...

Just returned home from our Ohlins install at AR Motorsports in Portland (Highly recommend this shop for labor!) The term night and day applies here! The car is so much more behaved, better balanced, and the ride over bumps is just so much better dampened. I have MPP coils on my Model 3...

You just stick your finger in the hole and pull it out (that sounds bad in so many ways!) :) Inserting it, you don't touch the spring part, you just kind of get it started at the right angle and it slides right in.

Just another data point. I got a quick bandit for our Y. Locked it down and everything as it was meant to be semi permeant and it came off in the auto car wash! Luckily we realized it the next day and was able to retrieve it. On my 3 I leave it in the frunk and use it only when parking on...

Interesting as mine doesn't have these issues. I agree it's tight, which is likely by design so it doesn't come out, but perhaps you got one that just has a tighter tension on the spring. Maybe ask the vendor, I'm sure they would send you another to try. There is a certain way it goes in like...

Just installed this one on our Y. Great fit and matches very well. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0986F8CZZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Spendy, but it's well made and should last the life of the vehicle.

This may or may not apply to everyone, but here is some info that may help. Like many of you, our brand new 2021 MY had wipers that didn't work properly. Having owned a Model 3 for 2 years, I have a good feeling of how the wipers work (or don't). Luckily, the wipers in the 3 have always...

of course :) i'm more concerned with looks and grip than range. I rarely see anything under 300 unless it's really warm out. If you want great range, go with the narrowest tire possible on 18" wheels.

I recommend staggered. Stance/look is way better. With proper alignment, rotation isn't needed. Just put on my second set of tires. Rears wore faster of course, but sides looked the same on all four. Michelin A/S 3+....fantastic tire if you can't run summer tires all year.

Model Y

For others experiencing this, buy the shelf! 100% fixes this issue. It’s caused by the big hole in the back acting like a subwoofer. Original S had the same issue until they added the shelf. Our model y with the shelf is night and day better. I couldn’t stand driving it without it. My guess is...

I'm not 100% sure. My invoice says "Verified customer concern of high pitch whining noise. Found noise coming from battery penthouse. Replaced seal and performed coolant purge. Updated firmware and found noise no longer present. Verified proper operation". Hope that helps. Sounds like the...

Update: Same as others, replaced the penthouse seal and car sounds like it should! Unbelievable issue on a brand new car, but shout out to the Portland OR service team. Acknowledged the issue, knew exactly what to do, and fixed it in 48 hours. If you hear an unusually loud whining sound...

Ah, that makes sense as I wasn't getting the prompt everytime, only if I left the car unlocked, then opened and close the door. I use phones 99% of the time and didn't realize the card worked that way with the timeout, etc. Thanks for pointing that out....still sucks that the card can't be...

So after more testing I decided to leave my foot on the break and reach out and tap the car on the pillar (same place used for unlocking the car) and that works! Long arms and long arms help :) I guess the sensors are part of the same bus/function, so the key card will work to start the car...

Here is another data point and also an interesting discovery. I also purchased Wood Veneer Center Console Overlays from RPM for our Y. I followed the install video and it came out great! Looks great, all stuck down, no issues. Very happy with the product until......I get in the car to test...

Do you have a 2021 model? They didn't remove it in 40.8 for 2020 models, only 2021 MY.

Agreed. I one foot drive my 3 all the time and love it. However, the 2021 Y is my wife's car that is coming from an ICE BMW, so it's a huge adjustment and having the "low" setting would be nice to ease into it, etc, but they took that away. Thankfully using "roll" instead of "hold" has reduced...

Yes, I'm aware and I also own a 3. Unless you have driven a 2021, you wouldn't know what I'm talking about. They removed the option to manage the amount of Regen and it's different than how the 2020 applies it. The 2021 manages regen for you and it's a different driving experience from the...

Have you driven a 2021?

Do you have a 2021 model? They didn’t remove it in 40.8 for 2020 models, only in 40.8 in 2021 models.

Not removing Regen, they removed the choice you had between Standard and Low. Tesla controls the regen now. I did learn if you use "Roll" instead of "Hold", it does provide less regen, which is more of how I like it. For those of you who find it too weak now with 40.8, try hold and you'll get...

Right, but I wasn't clear what model year your Y was. I assume 2020 now that it's been confirmed they have removed it for 2021. Such an odd choice to remove that.

It's a 2021 thing actually. Regen is automatically controlled by the car now and you can't change between standard and low regen. Really sucks. It's way too strong like this. I hope enough owners complain and they add it back. Not sure why you would remove a feature that allows you to...

Does everyone with 40.8 on their MY have the regen option? I just called Tesla and the reason I don't have it is they said they have removed that option and it's controlled automatically! And it's way to strong.....opposite of what I'm hearing from everyone else. Very strange. Perhaps only on...

So my wife and I test drove a 2020 MY Long Range three weeks ago and found it very rough. So much so that I was planning on getting some coil overs like I have on my 3. The 2021 MY we ordered arrived today and it is night and day softer and smoother. Same tires, same air pressure, etc. I...

Just picked up a brand new Y vin ending in 63058. Same exact issue you are all describing. Dental tool high pitch from the rear motor from 2-60 and at constant highway speed. NOT normal and nothing like my 3. Appointment scheduled, hope it's just that missing seal.

20 days total time from order to delivery. From VIN to delivery, about 3-4 days, can't remember exactly.

Check this out. Odd right? I also have a very loud whining noise coming from the rear motor at speeds above 20 MPH....very not normal. Appt scheduled for that. Will have to call Tesla tomorrow about this setting not being there. Thanks for confirming it should be.

So I just picked up a new model Y, downloaded 40.8 when I got home and the regen is super hard compared to my 3. And, there is no way to adjust it. Under driving, I have no braking regen section like I do in the 3. Is that normal? You can adjust it in the Y?

Picked up today! Almost flawless car. A tiny hold in the armrest in the back seat in the faux leather. They will replace the entire arm rest. Paint, body panels fantastic. Can't say enough about the team at Macadam, top notch!

Can the regen be set in the MY? My 3 has that option, but it's not there in the Y under driving. It's very strong and would be interesting to feel it a little less if it can be adjusted.

Did you do all the necessary tasks (loan, insurance, DL, etc) on the same day as the order? As others have said, it really seems to make a difference if you do that.

Ordered 10/1, picking up on 10/21. MY/LR/White/Black/Tow. 20 days, not bad!

Except Open Butthole and Open Glovebox do different things, so to me it's programmed like that :)

Try "Open Butthole" :) Programmers are having fun with voice commands!

Some of you may know this, but in a prior software version, the command "open butthole" (which amuses my 9 year old boy to no end!) opened the glovebox. It lasted for two updates and was removed for some reason. So every time we get an update, we try it again hoping it gets put back. To our...

Still available if anyone is interested. Will recycle it all in a week if no one picks it up. Thanks.

Hi, Anyone in the Portland OR area interested in a complete set of stock suspension parts? I put some MPP coilovers on my car about 5k miles after I got it and they have been sitting in my garage in a box. Will fit in the back of a model 3. It's yours if you want it, but you have to come pick...
