    Homelink retrofit install failure

    I’m in the same boat. They went out of their way to break my integrations with my own hardware. Therefore, I refuse to pay a dime for anything MyQ. I’ll stick with HomeLink whenever we end up with our next Tesla.

    Problems inflating MY tires at Costco

    I just pop the wheel covers off when I need to air up with my bike pump at home. Tesla could’ve given a bit more room around the valve stem.

    Supercharger - Ames, IA

    Yes! That’s exciting. Just across the street from the Kum & Go I suggested to Tesla for the first round of supercharger voting. This is the perfect location for a supercharger in Ames. Great access to both highways. Highway 30 is the primary road into town for students and sports events. This...

    Black and white seats... regrets?

    It's my third car with white seats. It's never been a problem.

    Does everyone use Time of Use Electricity rates?

    A third option: Xcel’s Optimize your Charge program, for a $50 annual bill credit. We use our existing Tesla wall connector with this program. Xcel uses evPulse to authenticate with our Tesla account and verify we primarily charge between 11pm and 7am. ETA: They don’t count energy use for...

    Poor wifi reception

    It’s just not great. I have an access point (AP) mounted in my garage directly above our MYLR. Despite that, I had to crank the 5GHz band power up higher than any other AP in our home to get a solid, stable connection. It needed a medium-high transmit power when I usually spec medium-low. I...

    Motion Sickness - New Shocks?

    Could it be that the hatch seal compression drifted over time? The infamous low frequency buffeting issue that can occur when the hatch stops aren't just right can cause feelings of uneasiness.

    Is there a market for Gemini wheels?

    There’s absolutely a market for used Gemini wheels. When I looked into it about a year ago, the 19s were worth more on the local used market than the 20s or 21s. They’re in high demand around here for winter tire/wheel sets especially for Performance buyers. I gave up on buying a used set and...

    NEMA 6-50 or 14-50

    I DIY’d my wall connector install. I had intended to install a mobile connector at first until I priced it out. Upgrading to a GFCI breaker and adding a quality receptacle made a mobile connector install pricier than a wall connector. I’m not sure how you had a pro do an install for under $300...

    Car warranty scam letters

    I've received a steady stream of these even for a 12 year old car. They just scrape public databases and blast out letters with seemingly little sanity checking or oversight.

    Car warranty scam letters

    You don’t already get piles of these? I’m surprised, honestly. I thought everyone got this kind of spam. Expect many more.

    Model Y Listed @ $39,990 on MVPA?

    It's great in Minnesota, where the annual registration tax is based on the base MSRP without options. AKA $40k. Surprisingly they go along with it.

    Popping noises from front passenger seat

    Mine does the same, but on the driver's side. Any resolution?

    Speaker popping noise

    Mine's done this since day 1- it's not just you.

    3D Printed Rigid Hatch Stops (to reduce uneven road noise)

    I just gave them a try. I measured the hatch stops at 11mm/7mm and printed 9mm/5mm respectively. So far there seems to be an improvement but I'll have to try more roads known to cause issues. Printed in PETG, 100% rectilinear infill and 99.5% scaling on X and Y. They're a touch loose so I might...
