    I found a 100% perfect paint match for UBERTURBINES.

    Sanel was taken over by Napa - so here in the Northeast, all of the orignal Sanel stores now have Napa parts and other Napa-related things to sell. Sanel always was geared more toward body shop and paint supplies. I am sure any good auto paint store can make this color for you. Just make sure...

    Touch up paint for 21' Uberturbine?

    Check out my post at the bottom - I found a 100% perfect paint match for UBERTURBINES. Just had Suzuki ZMW made at the paint shop in a BASE spray can. It was amazing how well it covered. I am on the hunt to try to determine what to use for a clear coat so all my hard work doesn't go to waste.

    I found a 100% perfect paint match for UBERTURBINES.

    Update - I tried the clear. Didnt like the way it sprayed. It was a heavier paint than the base for sure. After the areas that I cleared dried, I went back and misted again with the base ZMW and the contrast was restored.

    I found a 100% perfect paint match for UBERTURBINES.

    I have a 2022 Model Y Performance Fremont build that we just picked up our first curb damage - i had a spray bomb mixed up of the Suzuki ZMW Mineral in base coat. I spent a good amount of time prepping and smoothing the alloy damage. I blended the newly sanded down edges with the original...

    Installed! Austin MY C Pillars for Parcel Shelf

    There are magnets - it doesn’t move. I find that we slide it forward a lot and have the first fold hang in back of the seat. My wife is not a huge fan. She is always sliding it forward to put things in the trunk. I like the look of it - functionally - it’s not the best

    MY Tow Receiver Pilot/3rd Light options

    Has anyone found a tow receiver light that can plug into the factory trailer light connector on the MY ? I’ve seen a bunch like this one below, but all these seem to require running wires to plug into pigtails off of the rear lights. Example - DUNTUO Rear 3rd Brake Lights Pilot Center Tail...

    WTB: Homelink for 2023 Model Y

    Just wanted to give a big shout-out to Jersey50 for hooking me up with the parts to install the DIY HomeLink on 2022 Model Y. I can also confirm that all the parts he has identified are the correct ones - the opener, the bracket and the mounting screw. After installing it, I can see why many...

    Installed! Austin MY C Pillars for Parcel Shelf

    So update on my shelf install: Turns out I ordered the correct parcel shelf - however Tesla sent a Model S shelf - at least this is what the SC said when I brought it back to them. They re-odered and got me the right shelf - they were very cool about it. Also, check when you get your new...

    Electrician installed wall connector using Romex 8/3 + 60A breaker

    I went with similar 6/2 UF from Lowe's - half the price of 6/2 Romex. Check Lowes https://www.lowes.com/pd/6-2-UF-Wire-By-the-Foot/3345386 My electrician stated it's perfectly fine as a substitute as it has indoor/outdoor use. The casing is a bit stiffer to work with as its rated for outdoors...

    Installed! Austin MY C Pillars for Parcel Shelf

    I haven't put in the new side pieces yet, but I really doubt it will fit - I should have matched up part numbers at my dealership, but I was somewhat in a rush

    Installed! Austin MY C Pillars for Parcel Shelf

    I just ordered the shelf with part number 1641293-00-d It is very different from some of the pictures posted by others and does not look like part number 1641293-97-B. My shelf only folds in half and does not have the clips at the front to lock into the magnetic rails. Has anyone else...

    Matrix lights horizontal alignment and adjustment

    Here is the official Model 3/Model Y service manual guide of how the Tesla Service would adjust your lights if they are off. Notice this manual says "Model 3 shown, Model Y similar". Good luck giving it a shot. Seems fairly straight forward.
