    Is FSD refundable

    At this rate someone is going to do a class action on FSD. Those of us who've been around for a while never bought the bullshit claims about FSD's capabilities or timelines but Telsa is a mainstream company now. New buyers are coming in totally unaware of how much Tesla/Elon over-promises on...

    MY Door Trim Discoloration

    I use quality wash products, mostly from Chemical Guys or CarPro. I never had discoloration before going to the touchless wash that one time. I believe the WD-40 and/or Weissman helped but it did not fully remove the markings, which is why some of them were visible again after washing. After...

    MY Door Trim Discoloration

    Ok reporting back. I drove the car around for about a week after the WD-40 plus Weiman treatment. This included a few stints of parking it outside in direct sun & 100 degree heat. The trim actually looked fine after this. I went ahead and gave the car a good hand wash and made sure to go over...

    MY Door Trim Discoloration

    Just happened to me today. Took the Model Y (Sep ‘20 delivery) to a touch less wash in Bend, OR and sure enough I had the same streaky discoloration reported by others. I’ve only ever hand washed the Y before this so of course the one time I get lazy it would come back to bite me! After reading...

    Front Parking Sensor Not Working?

    Came here to say I was having the same problem. Took the car in to service and they ran diagnostics claiming the sensors were working normally. I had a model 3 before this with no PPF so I know for certain they were not working as well. I brought the car back to my wrap guy and he said he has...

    Electrical System Power Reduced....

    I called the service center and they tried to remotely look up the fault in my vehicle log. They could not find anything and the car was behaving normally so they said they couldn’t do any emergency service and I would need to schedule the next available service center appointment for a...

    Electrical System Power Reduced....

    This happened to me this week as well. It went away maybe 30 seconds and I was able drive away just fine. My Y is less than 1 month old and has 465mi on it. Normally I wouldn't worry too much about this but I'm about to leave on an 18-hour road trip and would hate to get stranded. My friend...

    Window/windshield tint

    I am thinking of doing the same. A couple questions for you: What film and % did you use on the rears? I don’t want to make it much darker. What film and % did you use on the front and windshield? How is the visibility at night? Did you tint the roof?

    MPP Comfort Coilover reviews?

    I eventually dialed mine up to almost as high as they can go and I'm pretty sure it is about 0.5" below factory ride height. Technically there were about 4 or 5 threads left on the adjustable perches but my installer and I felt that it was best to leave a few threads just in case they moved a...

    Time for new tires on my dual motor

    To bring this thread back on topic, can anyone recommend a tire replacement for the stock 19" Continentals? Not looking for a high performance summer tire, just a decent all season that blends performance, range and low noise. I'm honestly pretty happy with the stock Continentals from that...

    MPP Comfort Coilover reviews?

    I have the non-adjustable comforts on my LR RWD. RWD may be a bit different than the dual motor setup, but my experience has been that it is rather difficult to achieve a minor drop like 1". The first time I had them installed, my shop used the MPP recommended settings. After the car had been on...
