    Removing mud flaps

    After going through 2 sets of RPM's mud flaps I too have the same issue in getting the plastic "el cheapo" screw fasters out - and that tool won't help. I'm going to drill the screw in faster out and be done with their products.

    RPM Tesla Mud Flaps are very nice

    100% in the past 14 Month, I've went through 2 sets of them. A quick call to their customer service, the girl said I MUST of drove it off-road or hit a curb...lol. The first one broke from driving over a puddle at near highway speed and the second broke when I was driver over speed bumps at a...

    New York, Long Island Area, Model Y Performance Driving Dynamics

    I live right by Exit 50 of LIE. During my 18 month ownership of MYP, I had 1 popped tire - wasn't paying attention, hit a massive (I mean massive) pothole while on FSD. Otherwise no issue (knock on wood) over the sh!tty LI roads. Unless you need the 7 seat configuration, MYP is a no brainer...

    Does Continental make the sizes for MYP?

    How do you delete "Onboard" footage?

    the only way it will be overwritten is if you trigger an alarm event. I.e. hit the windshield with your fist to trigger car's alarm.

    2,300+ Miles Family Road Trip AND We Drove It Like a Regular Car.

    No spare, but did bring a fix flat kit with tire plugs and a pump. I have AAA Premier + it's the best $170/year you can spend. It gives you 4 tows up to 100 miles and 1 up to 200 miles. Other essentials: extra battery packs to share, roof sun shade (although we didn't use it once) and a...

    2,300+ Miles Family Road Trip AND We Drove It Like a Regular Car.

    There are many threads and YT videos on how to properly plan an EV road trip, but I wanted to prove that it's possible to drive our MYP like a regular car. Given Tesla's robust charging network and car's usable range, I took the family on a road trip based on destination instead of destination...

    290mi at max charge after 6 months

    Had mine MYP for 8 month and the rated range never went anywhere near 305 - always hovered around 265-275ish. I always charge it to 80% on a daily basis. Do you think I need to have the service center take a look at the battery health?

    PPF Accident

    what i would be more concerned with is if this went through insurance and if it will show up on CarFax...this will create a diminished value case which usually is around d10-15% of the car.

    Tesla Offer electric frunk

    The video by Tesla DIY person is 80% okay. He mumbles and doesn't explain clearly when it comes to the lock mechanism, wiring and where to put the unit and motor. I did the install yesterday myself using the video and manual and it took over 4 hours.

    DIY Repair Curb Rash on my 21" Uberturbine Wheel.

    Thanks! I had to use the brush to cover the bare metal first and use as light of a coat of spray paint as possible just in case the color doesn't match too well (which wasn't the case).
