    Koni - Special Active (Red - Formerly FSD) and Sports (Yellow) - Coming Soon for Model 3 and Y

    Had the Koni Special Actives installed on a 2022 MYP this week - Thanks to Kevin and Tom over at EAS. I went with the red Konis because they're not adjustable. I would obsess over getting the setting just right if I had adjustable coilovers or dampers. There's definitely no new sounds going...

    Tesla model Y road noise / wind noise Seeking Advice on excessive wind noise!

    Very true but I had a 2021 that was significantly quieter than my 2022. That's the only reason why I went to the trouble of trying to make the car have less wind noise

    Tesla model Y road noise / wind noise Seeking Advice on excessive wind noise!

    :rolleyes: I sealed my windshield with masking tape to test for a leak, put a rubber grommet around the roof glass, put an extra rubber seal around all the doors, frunk, and trunk and the car still has more wind noise than the 2015 Civic I Ubered in.

    Tesla model Y road noise / wind noise Seeking Advice on excessive wind noise!

    Good luck.. I went through 4 visits and they they started trying to charge me a diagnosis fee after the 3rd one. Replaced the driver door seal and the windshield without any improvement. My 2022 Model Y still has a lot more wind noise than my 2021 ever did. I gave up.

    Plaid S or Highland Model 3 Performance

    Wow so many S Plaid choices over the 3. Put me in the other camp, I'd rather have the lighter weight of the 3 over the S. I don't need the space, we have bigger cars for that. Besides the driver display, I'm not sure there's anything on the S I'd be missing on the 3. Interior noise should be...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    One US reviewer already did timed runs and got 2.9 (averaged two ways) without rollout with a passenger onboard. However, SOC was 90%

    Tint Roundup: OEM vs Spectra Photosync IRD vs 3M Crystalline

    Yes, 3m crystalline outperformed photosync for less money although the cars are different. I would suspect the less expensive ceramic tints would perform decent as well. I would just do the front windshield and front windows only. Would definitely skip the roof.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    So.. I live in Southern California where it almost never gets below 40 degrees. I swapped out the pirelli pzeros for Michelins pilot sport 4 a/s. Both are equipped with noise foam and the sound is slightly different but equivalent. The only reason why I went with all season is for the rare times...

    Anybody else that hasn't gotten the prompt to upgrade to UWB for the phone key yet?

    No one has received the update yet but Tesla was teasing it on social media yesterday: Because UWB allows for precise ("centimeter level accuracy" per Tesla) movement and location, I think Tesla is programming it so that you stand still in a certain location without moving for a predetermined...

    Anybody else that hasn't gotten the prompt to upgrade to UWB for the phone key yet?

    Anybody else that hasn't gotten the prompt to upgrade to UWB for the phone key yet?

    Have had UWB for a few weeks now. The X has been 100% reliable with the phone key and the door cracks open at a more appropriate time as I get closer. Definitely more consistent than bluetooth alone.

    Tint Roundup: OEM vs Spectra Photosync IRD vs 3M Crystalline

    I was never able to find a direct comparison between Photosync Spectra IRD and 3M Crystalline so I decided to run the test myself. I'm using a solar power meter that measures irradiance 67 degree partly cloudy day, Southern California No glass: 1151 W/m2 Model X Model Y Front windshield...

    2022 Used Model X Plaid or 2024 New Model X Non Plaid

    Just pay a bit more and get a new Plaid with 20s. You'll be getting a 107-112k car for 95k (free exterior/interior color upgrade, FSD xfer)

    Has UWB hardware made it into HW4 vehicles?

    Weird, wonder if it’s an s vs x thing. After 2024.2.7, I closed the Tesla app, opened it and got the notification to update the phone key. It also showed up in the release notes. Car is def hw4

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Solid decision making, hope you get a perfect car with front camera & RGB ambient lights

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I feel the opposite way. It took about 2 months to get used to the turn signals on the X (not my daily, it's the family car). I was constantly looking down to make sure I was hitting the right direction. The gear change was easy. We have the wheel too and have no issues with seeing the gauge...

    Are any of the tricks to force a software update real?

    So my FSD trial expired today. The notification popped up midday and I did a manual software update check and immediately got 2024 firmware. Now have working UWB key

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    The car will 100% have HW4 as everything made from Summer 2023 forward has been HW4. whether it has a front bumper camera or ambient lighting is another story

    New X Plaid Poor Performance

    Friend brought a Aventador SVJ Roadster over this past weekend and said the Plaid X made the 600k Lambo feel slow. I also drove a friend's quad motor R1S and it felt about as fast as a MYP up to 50, nowhere close to the MXP

    Whatever happened to the front bumper camera and ambient lighting?

    It's already 3 days into March. Someone should've taken delivery of a March build S/X in northern california

    Any indications that front bumper camera can be retrofitted later on HW4 2023 MS?

    That’s a great point. We’ll see how this plays out

    Any indications that front bumper camera can be retrofitted later on HW4 2023 MS?

    Cross posted in model x forum, make of it what you will. I hope it’s true but not holding my breath

    Whatever happened to the front bumper camera and ambient lighting?

    On Reddit. Make of it what you will
  43. D

    Whatever happened to the front bumper camera and ambient lighting?

    I would assume all X's throughout the world are similar as they're only produced at the Fremont factory in left hand drive configuration. No X production in Germany or China gigafactories

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    They’re saying front camera and ambient lighting

    Has UWB hardware made it into HW4 vehicles?

    I dont disagree, I dislike that the 2023 S isn't getting it when the X is, perhaps I should mark it as informative instead

    2024 VINs?

    Or get matched with the same car that was on hold or an order reject like so many others It's fine though, just another 2 weeks. Can always cancel the order then and wait for the car to arrive for others with the features you're waiting for and order then

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    On the 3 and Y it's cheaper to subscribe to MYQ rather than install the homelink module assuming you keep the car for 5 years Not only that, the auto open and close is aware of your garage status so if you pull up in your driveway and the garage is already open, it's not going to close it on...
