    Was looking at an X5 M.

    $110,000 used and not nearly as fast as the MYP. I hope BMW can catch up. Competition is good for all.

    Is homelink actually $350?! (yes)

    Tailwind works great for us. Relatively inexpensive, no monthly, and now has Apple HomeKit integration if you use that.

    Supercharger - Katy, TX - Katy Freeway

    Anyone have experience with the car wash at this location? Does it use the chemicals that cause the black metal trim to stain?

    New Owner. App disappointment

    If you're a Spotify fan that has never heard of Waze you'll be in heaven. Sadly if you're a CarPlay or Android Auto fan you just have to take that one on the chin. I've looked into the Hannshow screens, and the latest one (9" Linux) is getting there. But they still need to iron some things out...

    Phantom Braking - Fixed.

    Have to agree, I'm on 2022.8.3 and it's 99% better. I had a 2 lane road as part of my commute where it would 100% phantom brake when passing an 18-wheeler. I went on a 180 mile roundtrip a couple weeks ago. It was mostly two lane highways, including the commute stretch, and it never PB'd when...

    I have an August 21 build MYP and haven't had any wireless charging trouble, this is the case I’m using… Spigen Mag Armor Compatible with MagSafe Designed for iPhone 13 Pro Max Case (2021) - Matte Black...

    No test drives available for 100 miles?

    I ordered my MYP before driving one (had driven friends M3 so was 99% sure of the purchase). The earliest test drive I could find was around a week before it was delivered. Crazy business model they have, but seems to be working so 🤷‍♂️

    Phantom braking in my new Model Y

    Oncoming rigs on two lane highways are the #1 cause of my phantom breaking events, had one drop me from 65 to 45 quite suddenly this weekend. #2 cause is some combination of shadows on the road and slight inclines.

    Purpose of holiday update?

    This year I think the mass update was to primarily to appease the NHTSA.

    What do yo do for a flat tire?

    I bought this from Griot's Garage. Similar to what Tesla used to keep in stock. Fits in the shallow area below the hatch floor, along with the travel charger...

    Is There Anything Odd About MY Front Suspension That My Normal Mechanic Can't Handle

    Does the car track straight with your hands off the wheel? If so, it’s not the steering alignment, it’s the centering of the wheel. When I made that distinction clear to my SC they dropped the alignment charge and fixed the misaligned steering wheel for free.

    Thunk, clunk, pop, “scrape”?

    My SC sent a message the day before. Basically said when I arrived a tech would drive around with me to confirm the noise. If confirmed they would keep and fix it. If not, take it away and keep monitoring, no charge. Because this one (clunk/thunk) was 100% reproducible on mine, he was able...
