    Foam cannon/gun for "regular" garden hose?

    no, you need a pressure washer for this... You can however use this one (TORQ Foam Blaster 6 | Chemical Guys) with a garden hose. I have both, both work great.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Nice! Yea, for some reason my wheel arches faded like crazy and no amount of Back-to-Black was going to save them, lol.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    I got them off Teslaunch and they do their job... it's a bit pricey for just some aluminum strips and 3M tape, but they work. I did recently curb one and it held up well.

    2023 After market suspension upgrade?

    Well, I decided on doing UPP sprints, which got here yesterday, I doubt I'll do the install this weekend due to weather, but we'll see. So, Koni Red (active) Shocks/Dampers w/UPP Springs. I was originally going to do stock springs, but I figured since I was taking the springs off, might as...

    2023 After market suspension upgrade?

    Difference between Koni Yellow Dampers and Red Dampers, is that the yellow are manually adjustable, the red are "active" (no manually control). As someone who comes from a long history of modifying their cars and SCCA, I didn't feel like manually tuning my dampers on my daily, so I went with the...

    Vendor eas | ADRO Tesla Model Y Carbon Fiber Program released

    I am considering removing my current spoiler and going with Adro, but still need to get the side skirts as well. Will see what the IRS wants to give me this year... 😅. I'm looking for a C/F fender flare replacement, but not wide-body, I'm using some OEM replacements that definitely are better...

    Vendor Antigravity Group 51R LiFePO4 Lithium battery for Tesla Model 3/Model Y

    Did you have the 24Ah version previously? Saying you installed the 30Ah version and no longer getting 12V errors, makes me wonder if you tried a 24Ah version and were getting errors or different lead battery. Just curious.

    Front bumper side vents - what do they do?

    If you're talking about the trim around the fog lights, it will definitely hurt the aero dynamics of the car... will you notice it, doubtful. However that is definitely trapping air and interrupting the passing air. If you're talking about the front lip, it would solely depend on which front...

    Anybody installed these "widebody" fender trim?

    Orella Acoustics Subwoofer upgrade? .... NVX, HEPAKING,HANSSHOW, Light Harmonic.. what's your "TRUE" experience

    My guess is because the two in the trunk were easier than the ones in the rear doors, due to the ones in the rear doors being welded in, the two in the trunk are just screwed in. From what I remember, I just popped off the trim, the top part of the trim had to be popped off before the lower...

    Need Advice: Should I Let Tesla Replace Rear Wheel Plastic Trim?

    If they do screw it up, they should be fired without question... You don't need any tools realistically, you can just push the pins from the back side and it just lifts off.

    Need Advice: Should I Let Tesla Replace Rear Wheel Plastic Trim?

    Last week I replaced my trim with some glossy black, looks soo much better... Look up PIT66 Model Y Wheel Trim on Amazon. As far as repair, some quick torching restores the color (but I would take off the trim first), taking off the trim is extremely easy.

    I bought the LH 11-speaker upgrade kit... definitely brings out the highs a lot more. I need to do some EQ tuning, but so far pleased with the results. I will say, probably not enough bass from the sub in the kit, but again, I haven't really done any EQ tuning yet. I just installed everything...

    Is it true? Only official tow hitch can have Tow Mode for Model Y

    Pretty sure you need to have the software installed/enabled for tow mode. If you buy a tow system that isn't Tesla's, it doesn't surprise me that there wouldn't be tow mode available. From previous posts if I'm remembering correctly, Tesla won't enable tow mode on a tow system they didn't...

    NVX sub vs Orella

    I like that Orella has some nice installation videos... I bought a Light Harmonic G2 "Ultimate" it back in Nov, still haven't installed it. Mainly because I've been lazy, but also because at the time I found zero instructions from Light Harmonic to install anything, lol. (Edit: To be clear I've...

    Good polish compound for a light door scratch

    I had my car detailed awhile back and the detailer scratched the trunk somehow, didn't notice till he left. Anyhow, I got some of the Chemical Guys Scratch and Swirl Remover and it worked great.

    Sure, but incorrect balancing of the wheels can happen at any tire shop as well. Which was my point.

    PSA: Avoid buying wheel & Tire Combos

    Wheels get balanced per wheel, they don't balance them to the car. So, what you mentioned makes no sense. Furthermore if the vendor is stating it's the car and you went to a tire shop, had them balance the wheels and give you the specs of what weights they added/remove to each wheel to make them...

    Installed! Austin MY C Pillars for Parcel Shelf

    If you mentioned the word "retrofit" in your initial message, then that's your issue. You need to clearly state you want these three parts, which are not VIN locked. That's it, any more information and they'll probably say no.

    Teslas - Family /w Teenagers

    1. Key card linked to a driver profile, is ideal. 2. Set a speed limiter as well, the speed limiter can only be taken off with a pass-code. In setting this think about where they should be going, i.e. if they're driving on the highway at all, set it to be within the highway speeds (etc). My...

    Tesla Insurance

    Last I looked into this, Tesla itself hasn't sad anything about it being available (that I'm aware of). Just they filed the paperwork with the state, which is how news sites got the information. Based on said documentation it would allow Tesla Insurance to "start as early as 10/20/2022"...

    Preventing Hansshow 9” Display & similar products from bouncing & making noise

    While, I don't own any of the Hansshow displays, I would think using some neoprene foam strips should do the trick. Though I would definitely measure how much of a thickness you need. There's a wide variety of thicknesses on Amazon (here's an example, https://a.co/6MkwYo0), I've used neoprene in...

    Finally got everything installed... only took 2 months and 2 days to get all the parts, for about an hour install -__- Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but an impact wrench for loosening the seat belt bolts made things extremely easy. Used some loctite 243 and torqued the bolts to 30lbs.

    Considering most vehicles have came with a tow hook for the last 20+ years (outside of trucks or jeeps), Maybe you could help yourself and learn a little by taking the time actually read the manual. As you seem to be a bit behind the times or ignorant (which is kind of displayed by not wanting...

    Need help isolating rattle

    I've got a weird rattle on the passenger side. I'm about to put in a service appointment for it, but haven't yet. From what I've noticed it's between the passenger door armrest and the pillar. Putting some foam between that gap stops the rattle. So, awkward, but today I'm fairly certain I...

    @DealMasterMike glad to see this worked out well! I've been following this and I just submitted my request to Tesla Service. Hopefully my service center won't be jerks, I don't see why they would. I did notate in my request that the requested parts are not VIN restricted, lol.
