Can 4 wheels with mounted tires fit in the back of the Y? Looking to get mine changed this week and wondering if there’s room.

mobile service dropped them off

Did you consider 245 at all? I’ve seen that recommended for 8.5 19s

Installed this update on my perf i went from 285 to 275. edit: estimate seems to alternate between 275 and 287 if i hold it on far right side

how many miles? i have MYP at 3500 miles at no update yet i’m at 285 miles

Anyone have wh/mi numbers going from 21 to light aftermarket 19s? Saw someone post that they were actually getting 10% worse numbers at 75mph due to loss of aerodynamics of the oem 21in wheels.

9.5 or 8.5?

The tinter disables the lock and rolls the window up after they open the door to tint the entire thing. They closed it without rolling down the window enough to clear the trim. The damage is their fault i would make them pay for it.

Well, turns out they weren’t scratches at all. It was tiny finite specs of lint the microfiber towel left on inside the glass. Could only see it with direct sun or shining a strong flash light. Got them removed with a proper glass towel and all clear. So relieved, and yeah i’m an idiot :).

Did you have to put in a service request request or did you just walk in?

TSportline wheels unfortunately put their name embedded into the wheel perimeter. Pretty unsightly and odd they have to advertise that way. What other options are you guys considering for winter wheel set?

Would this polisher be ok? G9 Random Orbital Polisher - Griot's Garage

Thanks webbah! Very helpful. What orbital polisher did you use? My fingernail does not seem to catch them on the glass which is good. Also about how many passes per section did it take?

In my attempt to remove water spots i’ve completely scratched all surfaces of the glass on my new Y. I used this with plenty of clay lube: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072HHT8NF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I don’t see the scratches visibly from the outside and only when viewing against direct...

What’s the advantage of the x-ice?

My east coast delivery had a *sugar* ton of rail dust on it. be sure to stock up on iron x before delivery.

you’ll def want to use an iron remover before claying. Mine had plenty of rail dust on it.

But the bumper doesn't match! ;) (mostly kidding with everyone talking about the white Ys, but I think its across all the colors and just more noticeable on the white). Sweet ride!

Got my windshield tinted and noticed this piece of material obstructing some of the front camera view. Any idea what it is and if / how I can fish it out?

Here's my data point. Performance Y with 21in Uberturbine wheels. Mostly 75-80 mph (and sometimes up to 90 :x):

As someone who has never touched a polisher and also a car detailing newb, is this something i could do? and how much would all that cost?

FYI I wiped off / cleaned the blades with some glass cleaner and microfiber towel. You wouldn't believe how much black came off onto the towel. I didn't get it all off yet, but it reduced the streaks significantly. Going to try cleaning with some rubbing alcohol.

Can I tighten these myself? Any idea what the torque is?

I think they will have options in the store soon (from what i’ve heard. at least before winter)

I would wait and see what Tesla offer OEM

There’s also been 13 improvements in the octovalve. Pretty nuts!

Did anyone have to sign a paint damage waiver? Had a shop tell me that bc of tesla paint. Also wondering if anyone has actually removed ppf from a tesla when you have to replace it 5-10 years. I know they require a waiver when removing it. Seems pointless if the thing it is protecting get...

Anyone else get this? Going to try wiping down and cleaning the wipers. Any other suggestions?

Great, faux PPF :D. If it's the molding, I'm wondering what service could do to address it? And if its even worth it?

I think it might be the factory plastic molding that just wasn't sanded down maybe?

Can I remove it or do I need service to do that?

I’m still not convinced it’s PPF. Any way i can safely test that?

Yeah honestly didn't notice it for 2 weeks. Doesn't bother me, but if it ends up yellowing, rusting, or collecting dirt that might be an issue.

Have you talked to service about it?

Could it be the clear coat?

Could this be poor clear coat application?

There is ppf on both front and back bumper, and the two side mirrors. That's a lot to replace! Maybe the car was built from spare parts that were already ppf from another vehicle in CA?

My VIN was assigned 2 days after its "birthday". I asked when it was built and they said July 18th. Got schedule delivery text on the 20th. I got delivery first week in August.

I've had my white model perf Y (vin 28xxx) for 2 weeks and noticed while hand washing today that it already has PPF on the front bumper, rear bumper, and two side mirrors. From all I can tell there is no way this was a car returned (it was delivered on a train from CA to GA that took 2 weeks). I...

Lets see photos!

looks good to me!

about the cost of a sharpie pen?

link?

Ha mine was decatur but yes very similar! glad they got the build issues under control just before our orders

Picked up white on white PUP with hitch two days ago. July 18 build date. Car is perfect in terms of panel gaps, panel color matching, and interior. Charge door is flush as well as rear break lights. Seats in back align perfect. Hatch opens and closes fine. Has new door open decals. Only...

Thanks!

but before or after you’ve accepted it? what if you sign the loan agreement then decline?

I know to wait to pay until after checking the car out. Did you also wait to accept and sign the agreement in the account?

how far does mobile service operate from service centers?

Are you planning to get any work done afterwards? tinting? coating? looking for shops if you have any recommendations
