Heads up. Carrying these SUPs or a kayak (or long lumber) on a roof rack: The most critical attachment is at the bow and stern. Every 'lost my kayak' incident I've heard of over almost 20 years of kayaking has been because there was no bow and stern tie. Often the whole rack would be yanked off...

I've been bunking in my cars, and other places for years. Rest Areas are good. >40 years Never had a problem. I've just pulled off "No Services This Exit" and then just pulled off the road. No problem. Women of course won't be so bold. If you even think some creep... find some place like a...

Yep. It sucks. It's completely and utterly unreliable. What is the actual mode? Does it record an hour a day and then quit, or does it simply randomly record? Today, I think I lost something when I was trying to fix my tire. I thought, I'll look at Sentry Mode see if maybe one of my...

I've got a 2020 Model Y with FSD. This has been a frequent chronic problem since the beginning. OCD Dry Wiping seems to have a few causes. Any droplets or dirt, or bug drops over the windshield cameras will trigger it. Direct sunlight in front of the car seems to be another trigger. (Does the...

Any updates on recommended PPF companies for my Model Y? What's the current price range? Any companies I should avoid, or members have not been entirely happy with? Thanks.

I've got this too in my Model Y. It has worked occasionally. In two important instances, one a pretty big accident that took place right in front of my car I pressed the save button, but when I went looking for the clip - every other clip was there except the one I'd just saved. I found it...

Good reports. I've driven in a custom van with air suspension - all I remember is that it could level itself out, but I've also driven a 1972 Citroen. The Citroen was amazing, best ride ever. I've also driven a Mercedes Benz about the same age, it also had a 'soft ride but it was all mush. The...

I bought Konig XG-12 Pro 252 from Tesla for my Model Y. But they only go on the rear wheels. Apparently the front wheels/tires (standards) have too little clearance for chains to be usable. So questions: Will I be able to steer? How much traction on the front will be lost? Could doing an 'off...

Rodents need to chew. My girlfriend's garden hose was chewed to bits one night by raccoons. I sprayed her new hoses with Windex - it's been at least three years - no more chewing. There are still plenty of raccoons around and whatever I put on must still be there. The thing about Windex is...

I'll bet they figured few people would actually use it. I first car camped in my Honda Odyssey, it was just so cozy and easy. (Most of us have probably been on those family camp outs that were more work and hassle than building a cottage.) I used to just use my backpacking gear. so air...

I'm sorry but all this is nonsense. We are guessing at how to make something work that Tesla engineered but left unfinished. (There are tires on the cars, right? Windshield wipers? We paid a premium price. So it's not a kit) I bought a couple of USB thumbdrives, fast write speeds. They seemed to...

I've ordered some foam rack pads from NRS NRS Universal Kayak Block | NRS I'll probably have to modify these a bit for my Model Y Tesla/Yakima rack. I've been hauling around 18' long sea kayaks on the roofs of my cars for 15 years. (45 to 65 lbs). All you need for most cars are these pads, or...

On my Model Y the panel fit issues include: The driver's door right edge sticks out, above the rear door about 4 mm, the thickness of the panel. The rear left door looks like it is rotated clockwise, so tight gap at the top wide gap at the bottom. Like some huge weight yanked it down when it was...

I just got a Model Y. I think ll or 3 of 4 t superchargers closest to my house are in pay lots and no where near any place I would ever go. I'm having problems with my home charger so I'm feeling like I didn't join the future but joined Amway or Herbal-life... A related issue is how Tesla just...

I hate low profile.... well I won't go off on that tanget here. Renting cars in the UK and Ireland a couple of years ago they all had low profile tires. No clue why. The first thing that would happen is the GPS would do something weird and I'd pull over on the narrow streets to safely fiddle...

So I need 60" x 50 feet. What should that cost? Where can I get it? Which films do I want to use? What is too thick for the Sensors? Brands, wholesalers. I want to try to do the whole Model Y myself. It seems like one of those challenges that has moments of pulling out your hair, but which...

Be very careful with those needles. Probably best to get them from a nurse or a drug store. I bought some blunt needle craft syringes (on Amazon) and got sharps instead. I didn't think about it, but after stabbing myself half a dozen times I realized I could've just received washed medical...

I've watched a few videos as well. One thing that they don't seem to understand is the general rule is to start in the middle, make a cross to the sides (if it's the hood than when you've made your cross, you look like the Knights Templar not Malcolm.) Then you work towards each corner - it...

I know this question is a few months old, but I wanted to get a definitive answer and didn't find one in the thread. 21" wheels have low profile tires, they cost $2000 more, look great, and corner better than 19" wheels. 19" wheels get slightly better range, the tongue weight for a trailer is...

I was long on Apple for many years. The share price in 2008 was (adjusted for the later 7 to 1 split) was $17, today it's $390. That's 2300 percent 23x. Today Tesla is $1600, with the same growth Tesla late 2032 would be $36,000 a share. So I don't think EPS (earnings per share) applies to the...

This is bit off topic. Last year I never got my tags. I got all worried, went down to DMV ready to rumble. No problem. Sometimes they get lost in the mail. So if more time then is reasonable passes, go on down, or call them up. No charges, not too much hassle.
