Model Y owners of Maine! Have a quick question for the gang. I've read multiple posts about MY owners' black trim getting chemically "warped" and causing stains that are tough to get rid of. Since I got my Model Y in Aug 2020, I've only handwashed it. For the winter months, I'm fine with a few...

To each their own, I guess. *shrug*. This past weekend I finally got a chance to see what my white Model Y would look like with amber turn-indicators when one drove ahead of me. Gotta say, it did not impress me. It made me actually love the all-red look even more. I'm with @tomagucci , I like it...

This one totally loves the Y. lol. in all seriousness, i almost got the 3 and glad i didn't. The order was already placed for a 3, but the $3,000 price drop along with more conversation w/ my gf about our dog being comfortable in the 3 vs. Y, especially for long rides resulted in us with the Y...

No supercharger in Bar Harbor as of yet. I did find great free lvl 2 charging tho (Abbe Museum! You'll probably see it on PlugShare). I charged in Brewer, ME Supercharger as a lunch-time stop before headed into BH.

gotcha. thanks for sharing your experience. I'll be on the look-out to see if my experience is similar.

if you do, tell us all about your results! I'm hoping my double-coat armor shield lasts at least 2 years! What have you noticed that makes you feel like the coat has worn off? Any particular things you've picked up on?

ok, @Laguna M3 - an update on the Avalon King ceramic coating. TOTALLY worth it. I guess I'm now speaking generically about ceramic coating but it's a cherry on top for me that I didn't have to spend $2K+ for it (just a sore back the next few days :confused: lol). Today was the fastest car...

Same. I test drove a Model Y with FSD and then got more experience w/ it when I had a loaner 2018 Model S for about 3 days. It's great - best features are obviously limited to highway driving right now with stoplights and stop signs being massaged out. EAP definitely has all the cool tech...

It's a good thing then that @KenYoung1 and I don't live in California :rolleyes::p:cool::)

@KenYoung1 license plate covers, sorry. I do a fair amount of trip driving and drives me nuts cleaning off dead bugs off license plates. These pics were of me just messing around. I ended up leaving the black frames it came w/ on there as well. I did have to get (longer) screws at Home Depot...

looks like an awesome job well done! @scissorfighter - the blue looks awesome! Planning to do any ceramic coating?

sorry been out on a trip and just getting time to reply to ya, @Laguna M3 - How do I like ArmorShield? So far so good. After installing it 9/11, I've been cautious with getting it wet and wanting it to cure for as long as possible (insert suggests 4-7 days keep dry to cure). I never got to...

lol, almost carbon copy of what I did - i totally support your approach. My car color: white w/ 19" Gemini w/ aerocovers 1. I got full frontal PPF w/ partial/half hood coverage through a local body shop for < $500 2. Messed around with PlastiDip and dipped the 4 Aerocovers 3. DIY'd ceramic...

I went with Tesmanian mainly due to price and side lip coverage (also, at the time of my ordering, Maxpiders were close, but not yet shipping orders. I live in a snow-heavy area so I wanted ones that were 1. simple, sturdy, easy to clean 2. provided ample side coverage for both front...

Your Wh/mi of 448 is insanely high. If your driving style isn't crazy, I do wonder/worry if something in your car is not right. Maybe something is on that is consuming a lot of energy? Maybe something is faulty and abnormally using higher than normal energy? Maybe regen braking is faulty and it...
