    New headlights retrofit

    I will do this retrofit the day that the matrix feature is enabled. I think it’s never going to happen as the org doesn’t want to deal with it. Plus I am still iffy about how well tesla will do it with their track record for basicly every single thing they have for auto.

    phone key to open trunk issue

    Do we know yet if rear BT antenna is for unlocking? I have an alert in service menu that says my rear sensor is not working and makes me think that’s why it’s so hard to unlock the hatch.

    Tesla VPP vs Ohmconnect

    I been trying to use ohmconnect and it seems backwards. It expects me to use electricity before an event to count. It should be giving me watts to make sure i dont turn anything on. Sounds like everyone just turns all their *sugar* on right before events which completely negates the purpose of the...

    New headlights retrofit

    Actually they do. You get all the items in the package for a better price. Ie 10k for everything where the red brakes, pedals, spoiler, springs, etc and installation are included. You can pay more to have them installed. SW is just a tricky part .

    The difference between 255 and 275 is non-existent in my opinion

    Maximum Tires Size Model Y Performance?

    The rim, also known as wheel, is responsible for offset. Wider tire might be slightly more offset then the rim. Even the 295 wide rears are only slightly more offset from the rim. You need new rims or spacers if you want the actual rim to be further out or into the wheel well.

    Yeah myp with those tire sizes never rub. Dont see how 1 inch lower would make it not rub. Perhaps the turn radius is more on none p??

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Its not a complicated system. We are putting the hepa filter in front the car cabin. Before the hepa the car pulls air though nothing other then just a snorkle. With hepa we add the filter on top of it. Air from outside goes through the hepa filter. Teslas marketing team made bwd mode sound...

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Everyone just needs to get used to bumping the temp down. Lets say you normally used 70 to 68 and fan speed 5 to like 8 and nothing changes. Auto seems to function the same luckily atleast from what i noticed yeah but have you tried just lowering the temp instead?

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Yeah it is decreased but i never have the fan above 5 normally. So now i have at maybe 8. I was actually expecting it to be worse. It functions fine for me. Not saying i do not want the button. Just saying its silly saying it’s unusable. I know you did not say that but to get people worried. I...

    Depending on the state i imagine, but in cali you can just pay the fine each time you are caught. You do not need to remove it. The “fix it ticket” is so you can avoid the fine.

    As long as they are the peel offable stickers they are no problem. If its more of a sticker you put on a laptop, get a clear peel off to stick the sticker too

    Thats the point it is allowed for engine intake. Means significantly less for cabin intake

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Strange thing to say as on a ICE atleast a consumer is protected to modify air intake to the engine. Tesla saying the modification of an cabin air intake voiding a warranty is an excuse from a lazy service center worker. Every time i been to a service center i always get the run around on...

    You have to see if the holes for the bolt in your car have the nuts welded. Then the parts you listed are correct. Otherwise you need 2x m5 rivet nut and m5x40mm and washers wide enough

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    After driving with the hepa, the air is so much better. Normally i would smell the fresh cut grass when someone is cutting it. Now its oderless. I drove by a field fire which would smell like burnt ass and it was only a hint, probably because i kept the fan on low setting. For under 200 bucks...

    I find that funny as i was able to pick up my parts the next day. I actually decided to switch service center locations and picked them up. So two of my service centers had the parts on site. This is Bay area.

    Maximum Tires Size Model Y Performance?

    I guess going 275 on both would work if you want to spend time going to a tire shop to rotate the tires by remounting them. Might be a good move if you are actually caring about money. To me i am going for looks too. I mean common we are spending 70k on a car, 700 bucks every 20k miles is not...

    You could, i just let the tire rub out the one spot. The wheel well is going to be gross AF eventually so who cares.

    "Squishy" sound during low speed <15mph - Performance Y

    Guys if your car has less than 2000 miles, just drive it more. if its more maybe it needs a little more time. 100% if the noise you hear is the same as the videos and you took the center cap off. Its just the tire compound.

    not just wheel lock to lock but also full compression. You can do this by either jacking up one side at the shop, or driving up on a large curb after installing the tires like I did. When full compression there is ever so slight tiny rub on the back side against the fabric wheel well. This will...
