Drove a Fremont made 23’ MYLR at the PDX showroom, so not 4860 but the car in comfort steering/driving felt more rigid on the steering than my 22’ MYP. The ride quality was a bit smoother, even driving on 20” rim options. I swapped my Ubertines for 19” winters and it helped my 22’ MYP driving...

Building on this theme about winter tires, and I appreciate everyone’s feedback/experiences, what are your best practices driving your Model Y during snowstorms or winter conditions? I have a MYP for reference and just put everything in chill mode, drive under 25mph.

Just an update after the helpful info here. Drove my MYP over a small mountain pass with sticking snow this weekend in Oregon and it was passable but decided to upgrade to new Winter Rims/Tires going forward. Here’s what I found at Discount Tire.. Inventory’s were non-existent for Nokian as they...

The AS4’s work fine, not a big deal in reasonable snow. Anything below 45F and AS tire rubber compounds do get a bit harder, but nothing like the summer tires. Winter tires are needed if your really trekking constantly in snow or ice, they’re much soft, with tread patterns that spit out snow...

The 22’ MYP I have rides stiff over everything. Feels like a truck, not much absorption of bumps/road. That’s the big thing I notice. Maybe the updated body casting in one piece helps, but until they bring on air suspension, if they ever, that’s the significant difference in ride vs other 65k...

Unless the drones can decipher things outside Austin, Elon will let us know on Twitter what’s the next steps on the y

I would email your SA and ask, they should know with your build all ready complete. My was build on 1/8 and had AMD.

Has anyone used. Allset in NE Portland? I’m leaning towards front and rocker panel PPF. Any feedback would be appreciated!

It’s less about the 4680 cells and more about the single body casting, 400lbs of weight reduction and dual panned glass for me. My guess is the technology updates will get updated to the car with the 4680 and then it will get more miles then what it’s currently suppose to offer (15 miles?). My...

Yep, carbon fiber spoiler was on there too.

Took delivery a little earlier than expected and virtually flawless besides a few stickers and factory tape. My build was this month from the sticker, not sure of exact date. VIN was 358.. Has AMD chip Has front mud flaps only Has Michelin AS4 tires Brake calipers still Red as you can see...

358…

Got my VIN on Monday, went onto my account and they tried to sneak some $25 processing fee onto my order and needed to pay. Direct email to SA and manager that’s not going to fly. Car is paid up and despot completed for a previous 12/30 pickup they cancelled on me. I did ask my SA if the car...

My ETA went from 1/9-1/23 to 1/14-1/23 and today a VIN was assigned 358xxx. Trying to confirm is Mudflaps, spoiler, AMD chip and 4AS tires are on this bad boy.
