    Vendor Model 3 Öhlins DFV Coilovers - Engineered by Redwood Motorsports ™

    Thanks for this. I feel like it should have known this. My passengers were getting nauseous from all the bouncing the other day but it could have been a combination of rough roads and too soft settings.

    Vendor Model 3 Öhlins DFV Coilovers - Engineered by Redwood Motorsports ™

    I just got my Redwood GT coilover set installed but at 10 clicks from full still i feel that the ride is a bit too bouncy for my liking. Should i keep stiffening the shocks or is replacing the springs with ones that have a higher spring rate a better solution?

    Vendor Model 3 Öhlins DFV Coilovers - Engineered by Redwood Motorsports ™

    I just found it interesting that Redwood would have the presence of mind to include those disclaimers in the instructions whereas Ohlins makes no mention of it despite the same dangers still existing with their set of coilovers.

    Vendor Model 3 Öhlins DFV Coilovers - Engineered by Redwood Motorsports ™

    How is it that the pre-load and height adjustment instructions on the Ohlins R&T kit are so different than the Redwood DFV kits? Ohlins R&T instructions make no mention of the risk of bottoming out where as the Redwood instructions have big disclaimers all over them about this risk. I have...

    Is Tesla’s showroom inventory significantly different than what is shown online?

    FYI, for anyone in a similar situation, I went into the showroom today and the sales people appeared to be accessing the same public Tesla website that I was at home. I assumed that there would be some sort of special database that they would be accessing but I was wrong. I did however figure...

    Is Tesla’s showroom inventory significantly different than what is shown online?

    My wife is surprisingly showing interest in pursuing a second Tesla if we can get an end of quarter discount. Online shows one Model 3 available at our closest sales location but not in the color we wanted. What are the chances that they actually have more options if we were to show up in person?

    Suspension work in Queens or Long Island?

    Fury Automotive in Mineola did a great job with my Model Y. Really reasonable prices and competent work. Look them up.

    EZ Pass Green Discount Plan

    Which crossings and at what times? I believe you only get the discount on PANYNJ bridges and tunnels (i.e. GW, Lincoln, Holland, etc.) during off peak hours and the 10% is at anytime on Thruway bridges (i.e. Cuomo bridge). The discount is hardly worth all the trouble for people who don't make...

    EZ Pass Green Discount Plan

    Mine was issued by the NY Thruway Authority. They automatically applied both plans. Just note that they will send you the external tag unless you request the regular interior tag. They used to issue a special green tag but I guess not anymore.

    What year is my Y?

    Nothing yet but if last year with the Model 3 is any indicator then we should find out in about December if there will be any changes. Just be aware that last year brought alot of changes for the Model 3 but that vehicle had also been out for about 3 years whereas the Model Y will only be...

    Mt Kisco NYSERDA rebate issues

    Sounds like they either forgot to have you sign the rebate forms at pickup and/or incorrectly filled the DMV forms.

    MountainPass Performance Comfort Coilovers

    I'm still waiting for my coilovers but i would like to know how easy is it to make bump/rebound adjustments on the fly? Is everyone removing wheels to makes these adjustments or can they be reached easily with the wheels on? I have the 20" Inductions for reference.

    Charger Installation - Advice Needed

    Yes, do this. You might be able to free up space by combining several 15 or 20 amp breakers into tandem breakers. A skilled electrician should be able to do this for you in about 30-60 minutes. I'm assuming of course that you have a 200 amp panel installed. Anything below that and you probably...

    PPF/Ceramic Coating and Outdoor Car Cover

    The ceramic coating makes the car look glossier and makes it easier to clean but it doesn't help keep it clean for any longer. I have a tree near my driveway that will occasionally drop some sap on the car. Even with the coating and the right chemicals, the sap is always difficult to remove.

    PPF/Ceramic Coating and Outdoor Car Cover

    I personally think a cover is overkill. I also park outside but I would hate the inconvenience of having to remove and replace the cover each time I want to use the car. I went with full front PPF and ceramic coating and that seems to be working fine. I keep a bottle of detailer and some mf...

    6/3 or 6/4?

    It’s recommended to run 3 conductors and a ground if there is any chance that someday you or a future owner might replace that wall connector with a 14-50 receptacle or some other type of ev connector that requires a neutral in addition to the ground.

    MountainPass Performance Comfort Coilovers

    Exactly what i'm looking for. Can't wait to get my coilovers. I didn't think the ride was so harsh when i first got the car but now my wife likes to point out the harshness every time we go over a pothole. This is the only aftermarket accessory she's ever been on board with 🤣

    MountainPass Performance Comfort Coilovers

    Does anyone know how much (in terms of MM or inches) I would have to lower my LR MY to get the look of the PUP height? In my opinion the PUP MY height is perfect in terms of aesthetics and practicality (I live in a hilly area).

    Right-to-Charge laws in New York?

    I seriously question whether they actually consulted an attorney to begin with. You would think that an attorney who specializes in working with condo associations would be familiar with this EV law.

    I finally got a Kuat 2.0, but hitch pin won't fit my MYLR

    I'm sure you already tried this but did you try inserting the pin from the right side of the hitch? I have the Sherpa 2.0 and that was my solution.

    Right-to-Charge laws in New York?

    Yes, there is a law. Just some highlights: 1) You must be willing to pay installation AND maintenance costs 2) Must hire a licensed electrician 3) Must have liability insurance 4) Must reimburse Condo for any damages incurred during installation of charger 5) Must repair charger if it becomes...

    Trusted Tesla Install Shop in NYC Metro Area?

    Anyone have recommendations for a competent shop that would be able to install coilovers on a Model Y? I'm about 30 minutes north of the city but i'm willing to travel a bit for peace-of-mind. Thanks!

    Questions about Ordering Model Y Tow Hitch

    I had a similar situation. Ordered from Tesla and had my install rescheduled after being told that parts were not yet in. Took about two weeks from order to installation. Installation was done in my driveway by a mobile technician.

    Also interested in knowing. I'm going on 21 days and still have no documents from the DMV. Pre-covid I think I was able to get documents within about 7 days.

    Recent NYC order

    I got the quick bandit through the Teslarati marketplace. Took about 7 business days. I've found that anything being shipped from California (Tesla included) takes about 5-7 business days if shipped to New York. It's all ground shipping unless you pay for expedited of course.

    Thanks. Just making sure. Someday I will tow a trailer and it would be nice to have the option readily available.

    Factory Tow Package Question

    I had the factory tow hitch installed after delivery. Should I be seeing an option to enable trailer mode in my driving options menu? I just used it for the first time today for a bike rack and got a bunch of squiggly red lines in the car car animation.

    Recent NYC order

    I picked up my Model Y today from the Mt. Kisco location. Pickup took about 20 minutes to complete. Employees were was super friendly. There were maybe 5 other people also picking up while i was there but maybe about 10 cars staged for pickup. The car was in very good condition from what I could...

    Have any Coned peeps used the Fleetkarma dongle to get rewards?

    Has anyone used the Fleetkarma dongle to get Coned rebates/rewards? The program pays you to plug in a little sensor into your obd port and monitors your charging habits. The program sounds too good to be true. What’s the catch? How do they make money off this? I’m highly cynical.

    Recent NYC order

    I placed an order on 5/28 for a Y that was showing 3-13 weeks delivery. Saw an inventory car pop-up last night and decided to place an order on one of those instead. I'm glad i did because less than 12 hours later I have a vin and a delivery date scheduled for 6/7! I really feel like i skipped...

    Extremely poor delivery experience from Mt. Kisco, NY

    I think i'd prefer to detail the car myself rather than get a rushed wash from some overworked Tesla employee (no offense) that is just going to scratch up the paint. They should at least offer a free wash at a nearby car wash or something.

    Current Delivery Times

    New York EV incentive drops from $2k to $500 following June 30th. What are the chances that Tesla pushes up deliveries so that more NY customers can take advantage of the full $2k?
