I had something similar, thought it was the primer showing. Used rubbing compound and 90% removed. Was actually paint transfer from something, that either I hit, or hit me.

Chains for Tesla can be very pricey. Also, you have to be careful they clear the fender and won't wrap around the axel and do major damage (reports on this). I bought some off Ebay for very cheap. Used them a couple times. No problems. Not enjoyable to install, but at least carry in the Y...

My experience, almost exactly. April 21 build, 29K miles. No service visits. Yes, some orange peel in some areas. Panel gaps 90% good. After some sound deadening and a few personal cosmetic changes, the car has been flawless. Fingers crossed. I think when new owners pick up a Tesla, they...

Definitely first tuck in the rear seatbelt shoulder straps. Rattles like crazy if the metal insert hits the plastic side panel

I keep my roof sunscreen on all time. In the summer especially on road trips the AC has trouble keeping the interior cool, which of course uses more energy. The glass roof is freakin' hot to the touch. And yes, the view is blocked above, but I don't notice it from the front seats, and we...

I use ABRP for planning and usually rely on the Tesla nav system while actually on the road. I have a problem with setting the ABRP to more stops and shorter charges. Sure, we all know that the battery charges much faster all a low SOC, so leaving a charger with 60-70% could make some sense...

Mine needs about 5 minutes of driving before it displays the tire PSI. Driving for 20+ minutes in hot weather will of course be inaccurate.

I bought this on Amazon 6 years ago. No compressor, very quiet. Old technology. 110V or 12V DC. Uses very little energy. I've used it in 2 Teslas for many years. Not as cold as units with compressors, but very practical. One professional trucker said he's had it on continuously for 2+...

Mine was difficult to plug in the first month of ownership, then gradually loosened up. I did clean the port with Q-tips and contact cleaners. It may be more involved for you however.

Much better range driving from Reno to LA, than LA to Reno. Can skip some SC'ers. Any headwind and elevation gain takes a huge hit in range.

AB didn't hurt my range or Wh/mi that I call tell. You rarely use it on long road trips except occasional passing, and sometimes around town, freeway on-ramps and the like. Very noticeable and enjoyable. No regrets. I decided to get it after a year of ownership. Figured why not enjoy it now...

Did the door seal kit, the glass roof liner, sound deadening mat'l in the A pillars, and lined under all carpets, frunk and trunk and wheel wheels with sound reduction material. Definitely helped, not dramatically but noticeable, not exactly sure which installation was most helpful. Quite...

I've played that game of cheapest time to Supercharge. Works if I'm around town and decide to Supercharge. On the road, you pretty much have to charge when and where it's necessary and convenient.

Should be no problem, IF you are willing to slow to maybe 55mph towards the last 50 miles or so. The Energy graph is pretty accurate after 30 minutes or so of driving. Check it often, it will tell you what % charge you will arrive with.

I bought an after-market cargo cover for my Y. Fit and finish not good and rattled. The OEM one in my Model S was hinged, worked well. I do think they help with road noise reduction. Would definitely buy one if it fits well and is functional, like in the Model S.
