    Rimetrix Model Y Aero Cover Availability

    Got mine, look cool. For my wife's car , she doesn't like the aero caps..likes these better. If she's happy Im happy. Changes the look of the car too, white on black looks cool. Never got the inductions at the time for no real reason honestly. Just went with the 19s, felt they were fine.

    Vision Only Limitations

    My only beef with the distance of 3 is its just enough space for people to sneak in front of me

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I think incentives for home chargings and building out the network are real important. I got half my install paid for here and that was really nice. If they covered like up to 600$ or something that would be great on the federal level. If they also invest in EV post trucks with CCS...

    Mud flap effectiveness after 1.5k miles (or lack of)

    Rocker PPF is worth the investment, its like a few hundred bucks at most detailing places. Mine already looks sandblasted, and doors are harder to correct than a bumper

    Model Y Price increased $1,000 tonight

    This was mid april., sucks I did it a day after the 500 increase but still not bad

    Price back up to Original of 52,990 as i expected...

    same thing here. I feel lucky we got our house when we did, but it was always meant to be kind of temporary , but now even though our home values have skyrocketed so has everything else. Nice problem to have I guess, but now homes that were reasonable are a ton more

    How much PPF did you get?

    I grew up in the north east and the door rockers on my car looked sandblasted lol, good move

    How much PPF did you get?

    Thanks, yea I spoke to my detailer, I can go back and get it done at some point. I just had a super expensive couple months (buying second home), and while I have the money I wanted to keep this to a minimum. But yea I am SO paranoid lol. Even down here in texas, you still run into these work...

    How much PPF did you get?

    I went with the front bumper and my rockers and areas around my wheels on my white Y. I'm beginning to wonder if I should have gotten the hood done also, but at the time this just seemed like the best use of the money. I didn't want to break the bank. They did a good job, but again wondering...

    A few things I think Tesla could have done better

    Its weird to have to look over at the monitor and look for a car. I usually look and then the light is for my own re assurance as well. I guess lane keep on the Tesla should keep you in lane, but still, rather not have that panic

    A few things I think Tesla could have done better

    I wish the mirrors had the little light when someone was in your blindspot. That's a real basic feature that I love.

    Lexus RX 350 to Model Y

    Not the Lexus, but I had an Audi A4 before this, Smoother ride, epic fit and finish, beautiful construction. When you slammed the door it just made the most solid sound. However I prefer the Y all the way now after 2 months. The car is 10 times more fun to drive. I imagine the differences...

    Is a 3 night stay in Big Bend (no charging) crazy?

    I feel like there are some elevation climbs and some high winds when you do the run from Marathon to Big Bend. Thats a big stretch. You'd probably be fine, but thats a long stretch in there. Big Bend is awesome though, you will enjoy it.

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Yikes im down in Texas and its not as bad. I did my Y bumper and rockers. However a rock somehow did fly up and ding an area near the hood already lol.

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Yea I think Im just beating my brakes up more. Btw, your spec of the M3 is what Im hoping to add to my garage next year, same color too.

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    I find Chill + Roll +Comfort steering for some reason seems to have the most profound effect on improving smoothness. You just can't reliably one pedal stop signs but I find it to be real smooth. Ive done the same as you, I have a profile for family and one for my own driving which is...

    Is the Model Y the best choice if you have a dog?

    You probably know this already, the biggest wear and tear for dogs is the trim inside below the window. My little dogs already scratched it up.

    What accessories should I purchase?

    The 3 accessories for me were the taptes floor matts (excellent), the tesla brand glove box organizers, and a snap plate for road trips. My local area doesn't care about front plates, but state troopers do.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Yea Just not sure Im ready for 2 EVs yet, theres been already a few times where an ICE has made life easier for some trips with time constraints. I think though, I'll be ready soon.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    ive told myself if they do it, maybe next year I wil ltrade in my ICE SUV for a SR+, and pay just a little bit more.

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Ive told people I actually find it more fun, it feels like I have more control over things and I find going into turns to be much more tactile and engaging

    Model Y Build Quality Improving?

    My biggest "issue" is the white on the back bumper seems slightly diff, but that seems to be common on tons that I see in parking lots. I think its just a matter of getting the plastic to match the metal. otherwise they fixed every problem I had, including a misaligned tailgate, and tons of...

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Funny thing since Im somewhat new to my tesla I never really charge it all the way but decided to the other day and regen was like 90% gone. I guess the energy has nowhere to go or something. Im not sure of the engineering of it. The infotainment even said regen disabled

    Radar deleted on all new Model Y and Model 3. Is FSD worth it?

    Just hit 1k Miles and its been pretty smooth sailing, even today in a bit of a rain situation, only issue is 3 car spots sometimes in traffic people wanna cut in front

    Why PPF?

    On the Y I just got the front bumper and rockers done, maybe overkill but the front feels like it will get messed up over time.

    Mud flap effectiveness after 1.5k miles (or lack of)

    Im getting rocker PPF installed, luckily even at like 1k miles the southwest roads are pretty normal. I feel for you up north. I used to live there and my cars looked like they got sandblasted on the lower panels. Good luck brother

    Demo Model Y not as advertised

    Where was this tesla? Thats absurd

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Chill Mode + Roll seems to get it feeling somewhere in the middle. I did have an older Model S loaner while some service was happening, and I noticed even with full regen setting the car literally coasted like my ICE vehicle.

    Blog Model Y Receives Another $500 Price Increase

    Hehe yes, I actually made a nice little profit on my lease I decided to buy and sell ( not much, but a few bucks bc I didnt have to py for the deposition fee + a big scratch), so maybe I made like 1-2 K but that went towards my new ride

    Is Tesla Model Y worth purchasing now? Mi

    Seriously, if its that gigantic of a leap the resell value is legit on these so whatever. And lots of this are ifs, the only thing that's really come out of tesla or elons mouth is the newer batteries and castings. Most other things are pure speculation

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    At first I freaked out, but now me and my wife love it and when we drive the ice car it feels weird and too loose. I do notice regen feels the most annoying at low speeds if your not used to it, but at higher speeds with roll on its not as bad. I drive in Hold now, but did drive in Roll for a...

    Leasing/customization question

    The things that will get you on a lease return are damaged tires and gashes. Things like rock chips are fine. Even with notoriously touchy companies like Audi and BMW I've had those kind of things slide no problem

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    For sure, We have our tesla already, but I do think the base ID4 with the discount is actually pretty good value. Id take that over a tiguan, cx5 or rav4

    Model Y insurance ..AAA?

    My Insurance barely changed between my A4 and Tesla, but the deductible is firmly at 2k. Right now Im at like 500 more than progressive for both cars, and I think i can get it down more. This is also bundled with my house. Im a bit busy, but I'm going to investigate more. Im reading that AAA...

    One pedal driving vs. "Standard" driving

    I go chill + creep because it helps with parking. The first day I brought the car home even after test driving I panicked because of regen, after like 2 days it feels like second nature now. You ll get used to it i bet
