    Review: TesBros Premium Vegan Seat Covers

    I've been wanting to change the color of my seats with seat covers for some time. After finding an installation video of the Tesbros seat covers, I decided to start taking a serious look at their offering. (Premium Vegan Seat Covers for Model Y). I was VERY happy when I found that they were...

    MPP Comfort Coilover making ping sound when turning wheel

    Thanks, I've had mine on my MYLR for about 600 miles now and the "ping" has gotten more pronounced in the warmer weather. I've got an alignment checkup appointment today and I've asked the shop to take a look.

    Raleigh NC - Looking to get coilovers installed need recommendation for shop

    Other than Tesla, are there any good shops in Cary/Raleigh to get an all wheel alignment? I bought the MPP Comfort Coilovers for my Long-Range Model Y during the Black Friday sale. Plan to install them myself, but have too many other projects on my plate right now!

    How to buy wheel arch trim 1658691-00-A

    You can either go by your local Tesla Service Center or put the information into the service section of the app. By using the app, you'll only have to go to the Service Center once the part arrives.

    Supercharger - Montgomery, AL

    I agree. I was there yesterday morning and was surprised how trashy it looked. My next stop was in Newnan, GA and while I was there a groundskeeper came by pickup up trash, cleaned up some mulch that had spilled into the parking spots. Big difference in the up keep of the two sites...

    Supercharger - Crossville, TN

    I've got a trip to Crossville, TN coming up in October. Right now the Destination charger is the only option I could find. I was hoping to find a hotel with a Destination charger, but haven't been able to locate one yet. I'm not holding hope for the Tesla SC station. Any other recommendations?

    Aftermarket Trailer Hitch Cover

    On this Amazon hitch cover, do you actually insert your finger and pull the spring latch to remove/insert the cover? Or are you using the hole to just pull on the cover? I'm trying to decide whether to get the Etsy PopHitch ( Model Y Pop Hitch | Etsy ) or the Amazon Spring Hitch (...

    Blindspot Mirror

    I have now tried the Hansshow Wide Angle mirror on my Tesla Model Y. I MUCH prefer the add-on Amazon blindspot mirror over the wide-angle mirror. I could not get used to the distorted view the wide angle mirror provides. Some may like the wide angle view on the driver's side, but it just...

    Blindspot Mirror

    As the OP, I thought I'd post what I'm currently using. I bought Fan shaped add-on mirrors from Amazon and placed them in the bottom outside corner of the driver's mirror. The one I'm using is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CHBRLRH/ . Worked well on my recent 1200 mile road trip. I...

    Raleigh-Durham NC - good place to get tires ?

    The Discount Tire on NC55 in Cary (High House Intersection) has the Tesla jack pads. They fixed a flat tire for me at no charge after owning my Model Y for 2 weeks.

    Blindspot Mirror

    When I ordered the Hansshow version of the Wide Angle mirrors the SUMA mirrors were out of stock with no expected delivery date. I think the problem is that Hansshow based their mirror off the Model 3 and did not check the location of the defroster connectors on the Model Y. I'm hoping that...

    Supercharger - Fair Play, SC

    Blindspot Mirror

    I've placed an order for a similar mirror from Amazon ('fan shaped"). Should come sometime this week. Hansshow is sending me a new mirror to try, I'm hoping they made some changes. If not, may try it without the defrost hooked up to see if I like it. Might be able to mod it to get the...

    Blindspot Mirror

    My mirrors were modified by a Tesla Tech so I can get as much motion out of them. I'm unhappy when the mirrors are adjusted to see cars in my blindspot and the view to the rear. I just played around with the Hansshow mirrors again and found the root of the problem with them. It's not that...

    Blindspot Mirror

    Does anyone have a favorite blindspot stick-on mirror for the sideview mirror? There are so many options on Amazon it's hard to chose one. I got an early wideview mirror from Hannshow, but the mirror is a few millimeters too big and I can't get it adjusted before it hits the stops. I've even...

    Cargo liner that isn't a slip-n'-slide?

    Wind noise near driver’s side headliner?

    I'm chasing down a whistling noise that starts about 50mph on my LR MY with 44xxx VIN and 3500 miles. Like the OP, it sounds like it is coming from right above my ear on the drivers side. This weekend I'll have a look at the mirror area and see how my gasketing looks.
