    Vendor Show Off Your Aftermarket Model Y Wheels

    On my setup with the offset, yes I could go 275 and not rub. However, there are more (and cheaper) tire options at 265 so that's why I went with it.

    TSportline wheels for Model Y

    I've been running a 21" TS5 square setup for the past 1.5 years now (26k miles) without any problems, and it still drives great to this day. I first bought this setup before T Sportline started offering it, so in a way I was the guinea pig for it but I've proven it works well. Offset is...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    There's a few sellers with those on Ebay for around $6-$10 shipped for that white Model Y 37/250 Hot Wheels. Not too bad for what it is and if you don't wan to go search for it, but also not cheap compared to finding it in the store. One guy is selling it on Ebay for $500 🤣

    Model Y Not Worth the Price Now [Nov 2022]

    The CVRP rebate only applies if you haven't applied & received it twice already from other EV purchases. One way around this is to put your spouse on the title and apply under their name.

    This is link and same style lip, but they don't have the black one available right now, only the glossy fake carbon fiber. At least it's cheap at $104 with free Prime shipping with the included coupon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097DF6L1C

    Vendor eas | Southern California Tesla tuning source and daily showroom

    Thanks for the pics. I like the parking / headlights On look of the tail lights, especially on the white Model Y. Has a really nice contrast to them and makes me almost want to get some for my car. However, are the brake lights on the Alpharex tails only that small LED bar that's lit up? It...

    Vendor eas | Southern California Tesla tuning source and daily showroom

    Do you have any daylight pics of the jet black Pro series tail lights with the brake lights on? Specifically up close (like the pictures you have) and further away like 2-3 car lengths away. Curious to see just how bright they look for other cars too see you on the road. Thanks.

    MYP Front Splitter Pic Thread

    Went with something cheap & subtle. I don't like the other style lips that has wings on the side (like the one pictured above). No offense to anyone who has that but not my flavor, so I went with this.

    2022.28.2 update - no more DRL's while driving

    That's always been the case, and appears to still work the same way after the update. I leave my fog lights enabled and they've always come on with the parking lights while I'm driving, and still do. Also, whenever I exit the car and close the doors, all of the lights still turn off.

    I noticed yesterday after updating to 2022.28.2 the other night that the driving lights on my Model Y are no longer on while driving. I did some further testing and tried resetting the car, but that didn't work. I did notice when I have the lights set Parking, On, or Auto, then they're on...

    Ultra Bright trunk light not turning on

    I installed the AO Mega Light a few weeks ago. Makes a huge difference at night and was worth the $30 I spent on it (I see it's now $40 on their site). Install was super easy and took only 5 min, since you just need to pull the panel down just enough to reach in there and unplug the factory light.

    Yosemite Super Chargers, AKA Mariposa/El Portal....ETA?

    We just went to Yosemite a few months ago and stayed in Oakhurst, so this is really for those coming into the park from the South entrance. It was convenient to charge on the 250kW chargers there and it was never busy (most of the time it was completely empty). On a map, it looks like a long...

    Model Y wheels

    I haven't really looked at TSportline wheel prices in the past year, but I bought my 21" TS5 wheels during their 2020 Memorial Day sale for $2070 shipped after CA sales tax & free shipping. The price for the wheels before any discount at that time was $2300, and today the price for the same...

    What are the specs on that silver TS5 hanging on the wall behind the car? I would've totally gotten a set of silver TS5 wheels for my Model Y if they were available. I went with Satin Gray since that was the 'lightest' color available, other than black.

    Air Filter location for replacement? MODEL Y

    After reading a handful of reviews and watching some videos on youtube, I decided not to get those "HEPA" style interior filters since they restrict the air flow coming out of your vents. From the videos I saw, it was a decent amount of air restriction in the interior and I already think the...

    Aftermarket Wheels for a Model Y Performance

    I'm running 21x9.5 all around on 265/35-21 A/S tires. I just like the look of the 21" wheels on the Model Y since it's a bigger car, and it's actually pretty smooth & comfortable to drive on with the MYP suspension - much more so than 20" wheels on my previous Model 3 that was lowered on...

    Dash wrap from Vinyl roll

    I've posted this before, but I used CF vinyl. Not as thick as alcantara but thicker than regular vinyl. Also, I'm no wrap expert and this was pretty much the first time I wrapped anything, but it was fun and just take your time. A roll of 1' x 5' vinyl is plenty for the Model 3/Y dash, but...

    1' x 5' roll of vinyl is more than enough material for the Model 3/Y dash, with excess to cut off. Looks great. I've done the same a few times on my Model 3 and Y, and on a few of my friends' cars. The only thing I would recommend is using some adhesive promotor on the corners of the wood...

    NEW MODEL Y 18 inch at Tsportline?!

    The TS5 wheels do have some concavity to them, so the spokes on the 18" wheels should also curve outward to give more clearance for the calipers. Plus, with a +35mm offset you should be fine clearing Model Y brakes. Not sure how the clearance will be with Model Y Performance brakes, but I'm...

    NEW MODEL Y 18 inch at Tsportline?!

    21" TS5 wheels look really good on a Model Y, as it fills out the larger body well. I'm tempted on picking up a set of these 18" wheels to try out and see how they compare to my 21" TS5 wheels (acceleration, braking, comfort, aesthetics, etc).

    I was initially getting 180 kW at 42% SOC this afternoon in Tejon at their 250 kW superchargers (before it throttled down about 5 min later), so I would've expected something much higher in Oakhurst than 60 kW with the same SOC.
