    Post Auth Tesla Body shop Repair. Should I ask for a redo?

    Car was rear-ended a few months back. Only the hatch and bumper had damage. The Tesla Authorized Body shop blended the rear quaters and now when i look at the car from certain angles i can see the difference. Anyone else experienced this ? Did the redo fix the issue ? I know white tri-coats...

    Vendor Tesery Mini Tesla Display Screen for Model 3/Y - Ultra Compact LCD Instrument

    The problem with many of these after-market screens is the lack of updates and the quality of the display. They also struggle to keep up with the overall theme of the Tesla software (fonts, icons, color theme).

    Car autoconnects to WiFi at supercharger?

    I love it! Mine connects to teslawifi_mercury at the super charger near me and it can download updates during that time since my wifi signal is not strong enough to reach the car (apartment complex).

    Phantom Drain > 10% Daily After Accident

    Update: Tesla was able to remote in and see that a firmware update was pending and that the wifi kept trying to connect. They said the drainage was due to that and that turning off wifi will solve the issue. 🤞 this was the Service centers reply and they able to look at it remotely and even...

    Phantom Drain > 10% Daily After Accident

    My Y was rear-ended a week ago at low speeds. The car drives and charges fine, with no errors. I will need a new hatch, bumper, and sensors + any internal damage. i have noticed that since the collision, i have phantom drain upwards of 10% daily. My Sentry and Cabin overheat protection is off...

    Thanks for the detailed response. I am also wondering how i can check the insurance coverage limits on the other party. Just want to be sure they have enough coverage for my repairs. I now have anotehr issue. The car is having a close to 10% phantom drain daily WITHOUT sentry mode. is this...

    Need Guidance after an accident

    Hello all, my 21 MY with 15k miles on it was rear-ended while I was at a red light in upstate NY. The driver was apologetic, and his insurance company has already reached out to start the claim on their end (they have found me not to be at fault). I submitted pictures of the damage, and they...

    Parked Car Severely Damaged - Lawyer Needed?

    Epileptic Patients are now allowed to drive unless they are seizure-free for a period of time. Look into that. Things happen, make sure you get your depreciated loss value from the other insured. My old car was rammed by an old lady who had a heart attack while driving. Her insurance company...

    Model Y, no blind spot warning?

    Tesla doesn't want you to drive. It wants the computer to drive for you would be my only guess as to why this feature which comes standard on a Hyundai has not made it to tesla. The software already detected the cars around the car, i would say if the driver indicates and the software has a car...

    Albany NY wall charger electrician / price

    50 feet of install with materials was quoted at $900 by several electricians (the unlicensed handyman said $600). My buddy upstate was quoted $900 with materials and install of his wall connector which would be about 70 feet away from the panel. Your city may require a permit, check with them...

    Spotify HiFi / Apple Music / USB / Best Quality?

    When you format your sentry drive using the format button on the tesla does it also wipe your music drive ? debating on going with TeslaUSB, i have a 500gb external SSD now for dash and sentry. The wifi sync of a teslausb would be awesome to add music to the car to match my home desktop. Could...

    The Tesla Tax: crazy PPF quotes

    The precuts sell for 700 for the full front. Labor is where they capture major profit. Even if u replace the ppf once doing it yourself saves money. Just need patience and the tools.

    No Software Update

    New Owners will not get updates for a few weeks up to a month or two. This is KNOWN and intentional practice by tesla. You cannot force an update.

    Accidentally dropped DIY ceramic coat over my seat

    Is it already hard ? If so have seen some videos on youtube that speak of uneven ceramic coating on the exterior of the car and how they fix it. They say you can use a spray ceramic sealant to reactive the hard ceramic. I have not personally tried this but don't go attempting to scrape the...

    The Tesla Tax: crazy PPF quotes

    Totally sucks. The GLE450 starts off more expensive too. Whenever anyone thinks Tesla they already assume Rich. I would be bold and ask why a car with less complex curves is being quoted higher.

    Ceramic coating interior white seats

    Do you think the ceramic coating could have hindered materials compliance ? Seen the microfiber clothes after ceramic gets applied and it turns rock hard. Wondering if ceramic on the seats may not be good long run ? Thought ?

    Howto: Tip Getting Dead Bugs Off Bumper/Body

    Took a drive about 150 miles both way and accumulated a crap ton of bugs on the front bumper.

I looked up a few tutorials and they started to use Dryer Sheets in a spray bottle to help take...

    Should I install NEMA 14-30 or 14-50?

    My wording was wrong but our message is the same. Do not use 60amp draw on a 55amp rated wire. I was telling the person that they should not be drawing the 60 AMP, should be 80% of what the wire rated amps are. He said his electrician put a 60A on a Romex 6/3 which should not have happened.

    Should I install NEMA 14-30 or 14-50?

    Cost of wire diff is nominal, go with the 14-50 with 6 AWG wire it will be future proof if you want to replace it with a wall connector . Keep in mind that if you are installing in a wet or damp location. Romex is a NO go you will need thhn wire. If this is your permanent home I would go with...

    Should I install NEMA 14-30 or 14-50?

    You should not be charging above 55 AMPS. The Romex 6/3 is rated for 55 amps, since there are no 55 amp breakers the code allows you go up to the next one (60). You should be using only 80% of the wires rated amp. How many amps is your car pulling ?

    Help with Ceramic spray choice

    I use Hybrid Solutions. Nothing compares to this spray. I used it on my old car. I used to clay the whole car and use only Hybrid Solutions. 2 coats (24 hours between each coat). Avoid water for 48 hours. My car sits in the elements of NYC year-long. After a year the water still beads...

    Just got vin. I need floor mats

    I got the Tesmanian, they look great. One issue I had was they are shipped in a BAG wrapped with tape. During transit one of them got scuffed at the edge. Apart from that, they are excellent mats. Highly recommend them. Price is also good compared to other brands. Fit is perfect.

    Opinions Needed on Electrical Panel to Set Up Charger

    honestly after looking at your panel board picture again, you are using double breakers for every open slot. Unfortunately, it is unsafe to move the wires form 2 physicals breakers (4 wires) into another breaker as it would work but be UNSAFE. Options: Swap entire panel and get a new one...

    Opinions Needed on Electrical Panel to Set Up Charger

    Don't think a new panel is needed. Just get a 50 amp breaker and set charge to 40 amp. Even at 30 amps the car will charge at 27mph which is more than enough to get u close to 90% in 8 -9 hrs from no less than 30 miles left on the battery. Wait for supply.prices to come down before a big...

    Model Y - Is my car totaled?

    Total the car if you can and get them to pay for a new car with less miles, your resell value will plummet after this accident. If you intend on keeping this car get a written appraisal after it is finished to account for the loss of value due to accident, then have your insurance company also...

    Average Order-To-VIN Time Increasing On MYLR

    Car accident cost appreciation

    my ICE had an accident in the rear (needed a new bumper , 1 tail light, paint and dentless body work). Price of repairs was 2700 by the insurance company. When I get trade offers now they are about 3- 4k less than what I would get for a accident free car. So I would anticipate front and rear...

    Thoughts on this install for a 14-50 install with subpanel.

    Why do you need a subpanel ? If you don't have space in the panel you can buy a Double Breaker that uses the space of 1 breaker to give you 2. not sure what panel you have.
