    Wipers turn on while on Autopilot

    Never had a issue with the auto wipers when turning on AP, but auto high beem lights i sure have. So much so i never use AP when its dark out. Lol

    Crap on windshield! does it look like glitter or soap scum

    Agree with others, sounds like paint over spray. I just helped my father in law with this exact same issue (not a Tesla but still was a new car). Since i was traveling i didn't have access to my polisher so i tried a clay bar as others mentioned. That helped but still wasn't enough. Since time...

    My Foray Into Waterless Washing

    Unless you hardly drive your car and use it after each drive with minimal contamination.... Enjoy your scratches. Lol

    Lifting pucks

    I literally posted a section from the Tesla service manual a few months ago on this topic. The 1 second version is "lift pads". We all assume that Tesla already has these lift pads (since in the service manual context is that they are talking about a 2 post lift) that are set to a optimal height...

    Lifting pucks

    Your car, your choice. Your not jacking up my car without one thanks.

    Lifting pucks

    I keep a set in the trunk. Never know what jack you might end up with on the side of the road or tire place on a road trip that isn't aware of the design.

    PPF Matte Options

    The shops around here charge the "Tesla" tax. You know, like when you are having a wedding and everything is at minimum 40-50% more just because you used the word "wedding". Same thing happened when I took delivery. I was getting quotes for 5-6k... Its like, you must have been stuck in a small...

    PPF Matte Options

    Or you could save the 10k and get your car repainted in 3-5 years cuz your going to need to anyway since Tesla's paint is garbage.

    Software Updates Issue

    Do a reboot and try again. I had the same issue the other day and rebooting resolved the issue. Hold down the brake pedal while pressing down both steering wheel scroll buttons down for 5 seconds.

    Pathetic mileage

    Seems high. Here are my stats after a road trip from Richmond VA to Chicago. I drive my P like it should be driven on many occasions (ie, every drive). Was doing 75 pretty much the entire time.

    DIY tire rotation

    Tesla service says to use a 2 post LIFT to remove any wheel / do a tire rotation. Of course, the 2 post lift section then mentions to use pucks under the lift points. Just a FYI for the 2% who want the "official" way this should be done. I think a trustworthy jack and a puck is fine for...

    A Must Have Detailing Accessory

    I use the 80v greenworks blower (750 cfm) and it works great. Keep in mind i have a ceramic coating on so that makes it so the water just runs right off. Takes me maybe 5-8 minutes to get 99% of the water off then mop up the drips with a micro (mirrors, door jams, rear). On non coated cars, its...

    FS: Model Y Uberturbine Wheels, Tires TPMS

    Exactly. In the market for some, even ok with the color but price is a bit high bud. Sorry.

    Tesla HRPT 2023?

    I see one person posting videos on YT on doing the hot rod power tour. My parents have been going for years and I did it in my 2018 Charger in 2018. Anyone currently on the tour and anyone else thinking of going next year? Of course no idea where it will be next year yet, but never to early to...
