I recently had the fun of keeping up with a Taycan Turbo in my LR model Y (no acceleration boost). I was headed toward the freeway and a beautiful blue Taycan turbo pulled up along side me at the light. The driver kept looking over at he like he wanted to race. When it turned green, the car...

I learned some things that might be helpful on your journey: - one drive for both did not work well. Music was often not recognized at all when starting up. Tried FAT32 with same issues. - while you can use either exFAT or FAT32, I found that exFAT works fine for the sentry/dashcam (formatted...

My Y does the phantom braking thing on a 1 yr old stretch of highway near my house. Recent SW update added a few more 'bad spots' where it happens. It also really drifts in the lane back and forth and not super smoothly For comparison, my wife's 5 yr old model S with gen 1 equipment is much...

I pinged UPP about installers in the Phoenix area. They recommended the shop noted below. I have not called them yet to find out how experienced they are in doing these installs and what they charge. Rakkasan Motorsports (480) 772-1377 190 E Corporate Pl #5, Chandler, AZ 85225

I replaced the gemini 19"s with TSportline 19s in matte black. Really nice wheels. And it was important that they supported the same load as the Tesla OEM (which they do).

Glad you are enjoying them. I think the 19s work well on the Y.

Sept model Y and have the speaker. Played around with boombox. I don't find it that useful to change summon or pedestrian sounds. But changing the horn sound is great. I still want it to sound like someone would recognize as a horn for safety. So the 'old car horn' or 'la cucaracha' food...

After the launch of the gen 3 wall charger, there hasn't been a peep on when we can expect the load sharing firmware. Anyone hear anything?

I had to cancel the service appointment. Via txt, they told me there was no loaner and my car would sit for about a week before they looked at it. They were 70 cars behind at the Tempe service center. I'm not willing to leave my car for a week and uber everywhere when this should take a few...

To my ears, there is much more infrasonic noise than any car I've driven. It takes away from hearing the nice sound system. If you tap your fingers on various surfaces in the sub trunk, its pretty resonant and undamped (drums anyone?). I did take out the liner and apply dynamat to the inside...

I finally received my matte black TSportline wheels. Worth the wait as the look great and are well made. I just wanted the old wheels out of my garage quickly, so I sold for $700 in a few hours on eBay. Watch out for shipping charges. I undercalled what it costs. Was around $250 to ship 5...

I installed the RPMTesla noise kit (seals for doors, trunk, trunk). It did reduce noise a bit such that I could then hear the windshield/roof interface wind noise. The car still transmits road noise through the back suspension and body though.

My wife has had an S for 5 years. I just bought a Y. While I really like my Y, its a different car than the S. $30K buys a different level of solidness, noise damping, instrumentation.

I put 35% Xpel XR plus on the roof. It was a dramatic difference in heat from the sun. Tall + Arizona sun is a challenge. Now its fine and still has great daytime visibility. I also bought on of the mesh inserts for summer when you need to add a layer between you and the glass to reduce the...

I did my first car wash myself yesterday (hand wash with a nice sheepskin mitt and a DI water hose attachment). After reading this, I was sure to lock the car before washing. No leaks, no damage, no issues. I'm not sure if I'll ever go to an automated car wash with the strong brushes on the...
