    Front Windshield Replacement

    That is incorrect. We live in the broken windshield capital - rocky Arizona and had multiple windshield repairs 2-3 per year per 4 cars. No accidents or tickets. Our rates went up and my wife was getting high quotes from others. Our new insurance agent clearly stated that the multiple windshield...

    Model 3 windshield replacement

    I just got my car back from Safelite. I got the same quote, are you in Scottsdale? Is it the store on Raintree? The online quote was just for windshield replacement for $700. They quote me the same amount ($750) for the calibration. Initially I refused because I know you can clear calibration...

    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    Two very crucial pieces of information are needed before most people would make a decision about getting a CT. 1. What is the price? 2. What is the range ? 2 extreme examples: If the CT costs $40,000 with a range of 600 miles, most people holding reservations would buy it. IF the CT costs...

    MountainBike with front wheel on fits in the Model Y

    Wife's bike - Julianna Wilder TR small frame has flat pedals and a long handlebars 800 mm. I had remove the second panel to accommodate the bike. My goal is to avoid using the hitch bike carrier for a few reasons. 1. To improve aerodynamics. I lose about 10-15% in efficiency while that bike is...

    Full suspension bicycle, medium fame Pivot Mach 429 SL tucks in easily.

    MountainBike with front wheel on fits in the Model Y

    Not sure why I didn't think of this before. Opening the trunk well stores the front wheel. That allows for bigger bike placement. The top of steerer can scratch the wall a bit, so putting some cloth over would be wise. This is a SPOT SS hardail medium frame.

    MountainBike with front wheel on fits in the Model Y

    That would double the time of putting the bike away. I just did an 8 hour ride around Prescott, AZ, too tired to deal with the front wheel. Plus often the disc can get out of alignment. I am anal about my front brakes.

    Cybertruck announce prices may actually happen

    THey will start with the most expensive TRI-Motor with the price AT LEAST 79,900 GUARANTEED - why? Because Tesla knows how to make a profit and take advantage of the fed tax credit that caps at 80K.

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Tried out FSDb in Phoenix today morning. Streets to freeway back to streets. It only got confused once when it missed the right turn lane. I didn't dare letting it do left turns yet, too scary for me. These are new, well marked, well maintained streets and highways, pretty easy stuff to navigate...

    Tesla Is Finally Updating Its Autopark Feature by The End of This Month

    I thought the summon, autopark and NOA would be updated with FSD V11 when they go on single stack? Given how much progress they made on FSD, I would think porting that code for simple summon or parking would be relatively easy, as they are essentially part of FSD function. FSD is dodging moving...

    MountainBike with front wheel on fits in the Model Y

    Finally figured out how to fit my medium frame mountain bike without removing the front wheel (and moving up the front seats). The trick was to open the rear left door. I backed in the bike at angle and laid down the bike chain up. Twist the handle bars and front wheel towards the car. Walk of...

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    I agree. I was looking for Subaru Outback couple of a weeks ago and bunch showed up on True Car inventory... called the dealer to find out that these were customer orders and real wait is about 6 months.

    Lock Icon on the dashboard

    Searched the internet and couldn't find any info on this. My Tesla Model Y with Version 2022.2.5.1 (most up to date) has a lock icon on the top of the dashboard and on top of the car visualization. The Tesla Model S with the version 2022.4.5 does not have the icon. Wife drives the S and it's a...

    New house address does not appear on maps

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I ended up using a hairdryer and the fishing line. The buffing of the adhesive took some paint off the bumper. Oh well, time for the paint kit, I live in AZ so I already have small chips in the hood anyway.

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    Little investigation reveals the reasons for the blatant BIAS... Roadshow partners with truecar and truecar partners with car dealers..... all except Tesla. Zero incentive for them to include Tesla in the rankings. Wow, the misinformation is just sickening. I feel sorry for typical uninformed...

    Perfect, I have a industrial Jiffy Steamer to steam my suits (saves me a ton of money and it's convenient). Where do you apply the steamer on the plate holder? In a crevice?

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    Wow, 17 categories for the Best electric cars and EVs for 2022 and Tesla not mentioned once... not even as a runner up. The bias is absolutely blatant.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Got my Model S LR BLUE with white interior delivered yesterday. Gaps and paint looks great. No quality issues that I could see. It was missing a rear well top cover 🤦‍♂️, the doors take some force to close - not sure if that's normal. Why do those cars come preinstalled with front plate...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My Model S was ordered in November. Delivery went initially estimated in March, then changed to a specific date range Jan 16th-30th and today changed to June. Whatever. I am not in hurry. Hoping they will add matrix LED's and refresh taillights by then. I am also thinking that with Austin...

    2021.44.30 Rolling out

    You can wait before installing any new updates you know. Wait few weeks and see if other users are reporting any issues. Heck, you can even wait until Tesla rolls out a fix for those issues. Or just buy a legacy car any and not worry about any bugs with updates cuz you won't get any.

    Charging interrupted issue

    My charger doesn't interrupt after the update, but it drops charging from 48A to 24A every night after less than one hour. What the hell was the point of 60 amp circuit if I can't charge the car at max 40 mph?

    Enhanced Autopilot Vs. FSD

    I have the full FSD and here is my quick review of the features: Summon - useless other than a party trick, can't connect to the car half of the time Autopark - cannot get it work Navigate on Auto-pilot - I hate it, even with the update it keeps wanting to get behind much slower cars on the...

    Tesla Releases $2,000 Model Y Acceleration Boost, Shaves Half Second

    I got the the AWD Perf. without PUP model Y. If I had to do it all over again, I would purchase AWD Non-performance and upgrade to boost. 3.5 seconds is overkill and 4.3 is damn fast. I probably wouldn't get the FSD either, it's waste of time and money. Standard autopilot - lane keeper and...

    Blog New Autopilot Feature Keeps Cars in Passing Lane

    I don't know, when I used navigate on autopilot, no matter how high I set the speed, Tesla always managed to squeeze to the right and find some minivan to get behind.

    Blog New Autopilot Feature Keeps Cars in Passing Lane

    THis is great news, I stopped using navigate to destination because of Tesla's insistence on get over in to right lane even though it gets behind slower cars...I drive fairly fast, if there is a faster asshole out there I am more than willing to let them pass.

    If they just painted the piece black it would look OEM and no one would question anything. But because it's wood trim, it looks jerry-rigged.

    Sudden Accleration

    One pedal driving can get confusing because if you just let up, the car starts slowing down... it essentially engages regen and brakes if needed. There are people that almost never touch the brake... so sometimes I wonder if they get so used to one pedal driving that they try using that one...

    Model Y Tire Question

    probably would steer clear of performance and just get AWD with higher suspension, more rubber and cheaper. I imagine roads get torn up there after each Winter, so 21 inch wheels may work on California dry roads but not over potholes. 4.8 seconds in still plenty fast.

    Black is less visible to other drivers also, there are stats on this. Google it. Black color cars more likely to be involved in car accidents. Black color absorb all light spectrum so it heats up more. The nicks, scratches,fingerprints and hard water spots are more visible on black color. My...
