You get what you pay for. Anyone can perform brain surgery. The issue is the outcome. 😎

Honestly, it is my daily and it is the best daily I have ever owned. Efficiency & winter driving--video says it all.

Not once have I regretted doing PPF. You don't have to do what I did and do the entire car, but unless you car sits in the garage all the time, you will get stone chips. As you know, Tesla's paint is infamously soft and well, it doesn't take much to damage. I assume you are asking about PPF...

As one who got on the trial for 3 month when I took delivery of my MYP in December 2020, I see the value. I had originally had it in the cost of my car and ditched it when I heard we had the trial. That was when it was $10k. I think the subscription model is ok but the current pricing is too...

Any idea of cost?

I initially had FSD in my purchases but since I got 3 mo free when I took delivery, I backed it out of the order figuring I would just do it after the 3 month trial was up. Needless to day, the trial is up and I have not purchased it again for $10k nor will I for $12k. I also think the...

Maybe his Plex is on a laptop and he want to use direct connect to stream?

Very much interested in this. Would it mean you don't have to use the connected subscription in lieu of your own data carrier?

I totally agree with this. These are some key and routine features most people use--even give us the ability to customize. We need this desperately.

Although my trip was not as extensive and maybe 1/3 of yours, I can easily see how you can drive the Tesla much like a regular car. I stopped at points I would normally have stopped for slightly longer than normal but because I had things to do in the Tesla, the time just seemed to pass...

I saw a report but nothing confirmed yet. It does make sense--think about it, many connected car companies are dropping 3G in lieu of 4G[LTE] so naturally as the demands of connected vehicles increase, bandwidth needs grow. This connectivity is already borne by owner (after 1st year) so why not...

Can someone post a link or a photo of what the app looks like. I see one in the Apps Store but this is for $49.99 instead of $19.99 which makes me think it is not the same app.

Took delivery of my MYP on last day of 2020. Have put 36,000 on in 11 months (I didn't drive it for all of January while awaiting winter tires). I can also attest, no real problems to date. Even talked about it in a video I made--"This might be the best daily driver I have ever owned!"

So, as a relative newbie to the EV word, but certainly not automotive, I must admit that even I had some concerns about long trip in a pure EV. Sure, I had the BMW i8 but I could always stop to get fuel but you hear the mostly unfounded "range axnxiety" concerns mostly from non-owners. Well, I...

I just did nearly 800 miles this past weekend going to NY and back. I purposely had PPF on my entire car (not for everyone) but it is for this reason you should consider some sort of paint protection because Tesla's paint is infamously pretty thin and not the greatest quality. From the picture...

I agree. Totally normal behavior. If the battery pack is already warm (warm climate) there is no need to pre-condition the same way. If you are in a cold climate, I guarantee, 100% of the time, it will pre-condition the battery. PC takes time so its not surprising that it will come on and maybe...

I have been using it now for a few days--logged nearly 1000 miles with it already. I don't find it dangerous. I wish location was a little different and I have never once felt disoriented because it was on the left because I had my right turn signal on--but that might just be me. Dangerous is a...

I just checked. Still not on app. Anyone else have it?

Honestly, it is one of the most annoying things about the car that I love otherwise. Phantom braking is totally random and I have not been able to put it together to figure out the case. Also new is "slowing for emergency vehicle" when there are no vehicles or lights in sight. REALLY painful...

Competition will be coming in fast and solid. I am pretty confident, Elon will keep innovation despite the onslaught

I agree---the temp stuff might work.. consider track wrap but if you want to truly protect your investment, I would consider having a professional do the PPF. Truth be told, even around town you can get road debris that will damage the paint.

That is pretty much what I was getting at in my comment. Full body PPF is not for everyone but it depends on how you view the car. PPF is a lot of money but buying a Tesla is ALOT ALOT ALOT aALOT of money too. If you are a car enthusiast and are OCD about your paint, then that peace of mind of...

For an entire car, $5K for PPF is about in line from a quality shop. If you hear $2.5K for whole car wrap, you should run. If you have the time and patience you can try it yourself but unless you have experience, it won't be as good.

This is a topic that just keep on giving. Bottomline, PPF if you want to physically protect your paint (after you decide what value aka $$ you can tolerate). Decide if you want high-risk, high-impact area or entire car. I just posted a video on the process and how I think about this topic.

As of right now, none of the aftermarkets once work. It appears to be a proprietary version from Tesla. Reach out to TSportline to see if they will sell you a set. They are only selling with wheel & tire setup because they are pretty much backordered via Tesla. If you have a 2021, don't buy...

No question, the new bluetooth TPMS are proprietary and the generic ones are having trouble communicating. I just got a set of OEM--not sure why they are so hard to come by but it was nuts trying to source them through Tesla but ended up getting them with the wheel and tire combo from TSportline.

Truly a tragic loss. I met her twice. Once she blew past me in the Ring Taxi in the wet and it was glorious. Other time, she was amazing and friendly in person. She was a true enthusiast and an inspiration. She will be missed. #fcancer

Here is mine from last night...

The Runscape sign in worked for me. I tried everything before to no avail. This is the way to go for sure.

I know this shop well. They did my MYP. I think you are not hearing what he is saying. Lots of people don't necessarily need paint correction but lots of shops insist to increase the cost to the client. As a doctor myself, I think your analogy is incorrect. If you are hanging new drapes, you...

I still have the same issue. This is pretty frustrating.

I bought my winter setup from TSportline & they wheel/tire combo comes with TPMS included & worked flawlessly for me. I think the OP needs to drive the car and the TPMS will read. If you are checking before you drive, the readying will be 00.

Owned a 2014 BMW i8 (one of the first in US) & still do. Love that car--clearly ahead of its time. Still was never copied unlike many cars today. Here are some shots of it as a winter warrior.

I agree but I dont want to jump the gun since I just picked up my MYP in December but I am hoping it gets some of the same love the other models got. Then again, we had not have the MY for a year yet so maybe something is coming for its birthday?

I agree. I have to say, I did a review and honestly, if it was not for the range and the tech, OTA features with Tesla, it might have been a harder decision. That said, the price/functonality ratio makes the Tesla the logical choice but the folks cross shopping the Model Y vs. Taycan aren't...

I have been watching the quality issues on Teslas for a while now. I ordered my Model Y Performance and was expecting lots of issues, enough to maybe even decline delivery. Took delivery on Dec 31st, and was shocked it was nearly perfect. Now I shouldn't have to think about nearly perfect for...

The cure times in many cases was based on the old processes. Although Tesla pushes these cars out quickly, remember that many of the components are painted weeks before they are out the door so by the time they get to you the consumer they are cured. I would advocate for at least this. I am...

her is Blu Spark. Totally in love.

Model Y Performance

I hear ya. It is very unusual. Would love to hear theories on what happened--or why.

Awesome. This is great. I literally just used this! Thanks!!!

I seriously considered both. I think overall, the utility of the MYP is what sold me. If range is key to you, then M3P is the way to go. These are pretty close in performance (honestly, unless you are at the drag strip all the time, you won't notice the big difference between the two). The...

Thanks. I appreciate the support over the years and glad to be part of the Tesla family.

That is not good. Defect in the product itself. How could whomever did that let it out the door. Ask them to redo. Completely unacceptable. Is it possible that you didn't notice before. Alternatively, it could be UV change but XPEL have protection so that very odd. Trust me, I have been doing...

So, I have been stalking EV for a while having driven ICE for a long time and a plug-in hybrid (BMW i8) but decided to take the plunge. Test drove a bunch of cars including Porsche Taycan 4S and settled on the Model Y Performance largely based on range, availability of supercharging network and...

Wow--I love this UI. Why can't we have nice things?

the is pop out player. So you can now have a free floating player while you continue to browse the web.

I drove it and loved the Taycan & this was only the 4S. It’s definitely premium with some clear advantages & some disadvantages depending on how you’re using your EV.

Unless you have wrapped a car in the past, I would suggest you don't try it yourself unless you want to invest the time and raw material to learn. There is a reason why most people pay someone to do it. the final product, if done well will last years and look professional. Sure you can do it...

This team did an awesome job for sure. I am sure it won't be the last although I think these records don't mean what they use to. More nostalgic that anything else. The team will be in this podcast this afternoon on Tedward Drives: ‎Respect The Drive on Apple Podcasts
