    IMO, yellow calipers covers would look better on a red tesla.

    Beware ordering wheels from Aftermarket EV

    I ordered 4 "Replika R241 Turbine Satin Black" for my 2021 MYLR on November 23. I received the wheels on December 27, delivered by FEDEX Ground. I called once to check up on the order and they gave me a ballpark estimated delivery time. When I ordered, the web-site said they were then...

    You can send your internet signal through your powerline with a "Powerline" adaptor. you would put an adapter (it plugs into a wall outlet) near your router (and connect with a Cat-5 cable) and the adapter would modulate and transmit the internet signal through your powerline into your garage...

    cost/ benefit of installing a nema plug vs tesla wall connector

    Another way to save some money would be to use aluminum wiring from your main panel to a sub-panel in your garage. For a run of 160 feet, there is a big cost difference between aluminum and copper.

    Charger Serial Number

    I believe there is a sticker on the wall connector (not sure if it is on the side or inside the glass cover. The serial number is labelled TSNxxxxxx. I also believe it is on the quick start guide (that has the QR code). It this doesn't help, you could call tesla: for owner support and issue...

    Lumber Capacity?

    Most Home Depot and Lowe's locations rent a pick-up: $20 for 90 minutes. Loading lumber risks scratching interior.

    Detailed Tesla Model Y wheel swap checklist!

    From the interweb: Whereas asymmetrical tires can be fitted on either side of the vehicle, directional tires can only be rotated vertically (i.e. from front to back) otherwise the tread pattern will rotate in the wrong direction when mounted on a wheel on the other side of the car. No need to...

    Super Charger Route Planning - Why Not Max Out at Fastest Chargers

    I don't think charging times are linear. As your charge % gets higher (above some level) the charging slows down. ABRP works to minimize the amount of time required to charge. At least this is how I believe it works.

    Washing your Model Y

    Remove the water from the roof using a silicone water blade. Saves a lot of time, saves your drying towel for paint areas.

    Cost of 50 amp circuit and Nema 14-50 Plug installation in SFBay area (Oakland)?

    Any licensed electrician can do this work. No need to use the Tesla "recommended" electricians. When I had my electrical wiring done (a very difficult job - as I was bringing 100 amp wiring from one side of my house to the other - it was like a complicated puzzle!), I had quotes vary by 50-60%...

    Is it possible to disable launch mode?

    Also many third party apps (e.g., Teslafi) that will give you stats on speed (Avg, Max) and also detailed maps of routes taken. Might give your kids pause.

    Model Y Suspension and Ride Comfort Options

    Unplugged Performance has some comfort springs (stock height) that are supposed to soften the ride. About $2K less than their coilovers. I have some on order. In 8-12 weeks, I'll let you know if it improves the ride.

    Trunk Shelf + Rear Sound Dampening

    The metal brackets are the weak link of the shelf. I just bought it in February and wasn't award they have "new" brackets.

    Trunk Shelf + Rear Sound Dampening

    I installed the trunk shelf shortly after getting my LR MY in Mid-February. I don't like the way it "bounces" (due to the stiff suspension) and makes a "rattling" noise. I took it out about a week ago and I don't notice any real difference in reduction of noise overall. But this is certainly...

    Can I install the HPWC and a NEMA 14-50 connector from a single line?

    You can run a heavier cable to a new subpanel in your garage, and then have multiple devices wired off of the subpanel. This won't add too much cost as you only run one set of heavier wires from the main panel - and a sub-panel isn't too expensive.
