    knocking/popping

    So according to the SC in Orlando. Totally safe to drive the vehicle. No need to worry.

    knocking/popping

    Yeah I'm not impressed either. MPP looks like they have some excellent aftermarket ones. While they're a bit overkill, id definitely go that route out of warranty. Hopefully I don't get the usual, "oh we can't reproduce it,and even if we could it's normal" routine .I might have to go full Karen

    knocking/popping

    There's a bit of vibration. Not terrible but definitely noticable.

    knocking/popping

    So when going over bumps at slow speeds, i'm getting kind of a quiet rattle/popping noise. Also, when turning the wheel at low speed, it groans like an old man reacting to a tik tok video. I've got an appointment at the SC but was just curious if you guys think it's upper control arm ball...

    Did the blind spot monitoring just got worse

    Mine in my model y has gotten much worse. Especially with trucks in the right lanes. It'll often not see the truck in the right lane on a 3 lane highway while I'm in the left lane, and then think the truck is in th middle lane and freak out and do an evasive maneuver. Quite irritating. And yes I...

    Tire size question. (aka beating a dead horse)

    Also it's a MY PUP. Should have put that in there.

    Tire size question. (aka beating a dead horse)

    So I ordered 19"x9.5" replika 241s. I'm thinking 255 45 19s. Hoping the extra width can help protect the rims from my love of curbs. Anybody have any ideas if this would be the way to go or am I a dingus.

    Wheel Alignment

    You're probably right but luckily they repaired it and got everything sorted. They basically wrote up the service order saying that everything was to Tesla spec so I'm off the hook for any future nonsense .However it was way out of alignment when I got it back. Took it to Firestone and got it...

    Tire/Wheel Swap Question

    I've got the exact same ones, fast shipping and a good product. I'm really happy with them

    Tire/Wheel Swap Question

    my Tsportline rims and wheel package came ready to bolt on. Fully balanced, with TPMS. Didn't have to do anything special, just throw them on and drive for a couple miles before they synced and everything was good to go.

    watch out for rust

    like the other guys say, its probably flash rust and just needs to be repainted in that area. I've got a lot of small things wrong with the fitment and cosmetic stuff here and there. Nothing major. Overall, i'm happy with the car though.

    alignment issues

    Very true, although i found a Christian Brothers Automotive location up the street about 5 miles away that said they have no problem doing it and have the Hawkeye Elite alignment machine. Taking it in at 7am tomorrow. I was really impressed, they even answered a web form question on a sunday and...

    alignment issues

    It's not that i don't believe them when they say it's not in their computer, but that their machine can't do a vehicle that isn't in the database. With provided specs you can manually input the values into the alignment machines. They're basically unwilling to do it and make up something about...

    alignment issues

    The thing that blows my mind is all the shops in my area say they use hunters but it's not possible since its not in their computer. It's BS, I know. Anyways I've decided to just clean out the garage and have the guy come to the house and do it. He works with tracks and all kinds of custom cars...

    alignment issues

    not to sound like a broken record but i found someone in town who can do alignments, however my driveway isn't flat enough and i can't dismantle the workshop in the garage. I've done a DIY alignment and it's A TON better than it was, but the devil is in the details. Here's the question, will...

    watch out for rust

    I could see it without removing the seal. I was just walking by taking pics of other things to have serviced and noticed. I pulled back the seal to get a better look

    watch out for rust

    You're right I didn't think of that. Rust usually happens under the paint with that bubbling effect.

    Uberturbine rim color and protector suggestion

    I just cracked two of mine and replaced them. I was planning on replacing anyways because it's kinda silly to have wheels that big IMHO. 20s are on mine now and much cheaper along with a better ride. But if you like the uberturbines, go for it. I remember I couldn't find anything other than...

    watch out for rust

    That's what I thought but it's definitely fused to the paint or body. I scraped it a little and it's definitely adhered

    watch out for rust

    That's an excellent point, California probably has some crazy environmental rules regarding painting vehicles. I really just think it's poor craftsmanship. there's various issues all over the car that any autobody guy could see a mile away. But i knew this going in so i can't be too upset.

    watch out for rust

    Trunk hatch. I love the car and Tesla, but they need to learn how to paint a freaking car. Looking forward to stainless on the CT.

    watch out for rust

    Make sure you keep an eye on your rear hatch. Discovered this the other day. I've got an appointment on 6/3. They better have a loaner while they fix all the little things in this car. I've got a laundry list haha. But, I do really love the car.

    My biggest improvement with road noise

    Luckily i found a guy that does alignments. Even better is that he comes to your location and does it. He's got a good portfolio of previous work and didn't even stutter when i told him it was a Tesla. He said as long as i have the right specs, no problem. This is why i'm going to start...

    My biggest improvement with road noise

    So I've got a Model Y Performance i'm trying to get someone to align after a curb jumped in the middle of the road. I replaced the rims and wheels with some from Tsportline. I'm happy with them but of course need to get it aligned. Nobody will touch it, saying bs about sensors and steering...

    Model Y Buffeting

    my Y performance does it when the windows are open in certain configurations. Normal driving doesn't really produce it

    Wheel Alignment

    They're starting to do them now but right after delivery they basically said due to the county orders, they weren't doing anything that wasn't a "safety issue"

    Wheel Alignment

    well i drove it probably ten or fifteen miles and i get some howling now, definitely tire noise, and it does pull to the right but not drastically. What can i tell these shops that are trying to say "oh it has to be hooked up to a supercomputer and have all the sensors calibrated and Elon has to...

    Wheel Alignment

    So ever since I picked up my MY w/performance package, I've noticed the steering wheel is a bit off and Tesla won't do anything because of the pandemic since it's not a safety issue (debatable). Well fast forward a couple months and a wild curb jumped out into the middle of the road! I trashed...
