Well my point is Model Y acceleration boost shaves off half a second on the car's 0-60 mph time, dropping from 4.8 to 4.3 though software only. $2000. So why not offer the same thing for the MYP? If it's even possible.

Is it even possible? Personally, I'd gladly shell out $2500 for a sub-3 second blast to 60. Maybe even $3K. Other EVs are getting quicker all the time, and I want to keep up! Or am I dreaming?

I just dumped my Uberturbines on my 22 MYP and couldn't be happier. For one, the rear OEM Pirellis were down to 1/8" tread depth after only 6500 miles. I didn't care for the jarring ride, and hated to deal with rim-rash issues. All that is gone now. Stance FS03 19x8.5 wheels (23lb) all around...

I installed 8.5x19 Stance wheels on my MYP - with Michelin 255/45/19s, and am very happy with them. The tire sticks out enough to make a difference but not enough to look out-of-place.

I've completely abandoned using autopilot on my local freeway system in Orange County. I got so tired of driving along in traffic going 60-70mph and then having the car suddenly brake hard for no reason which in turn forces the dude behind me in a massive F-350 to jam on his brakes, wondering...

My search for a proper dash display drove me to purchase the Switchback dash from Hansshow. It's small so doesn't block air con, and unique in that it also holds a phone on the backside of the display. Since I don't care for their actual display I instead have been using an excellent phone app...

I can tell you that in my case the specs on the Stance SF03s state the wheel weighs 21lb - but on my scale it registered as 24lb. So maybe they all fudge a bit. Can't remember where I got this Enkei speadsheet, but notice they state "Estimated Weight."

UPDATE: The connection now works and the fix was simple. I just configured the "Guest" network option on the Orbi (with WPA2 and password) and it connected. Don't know why, but maybe less restrictions? Anyway, maybe that helps someone having the same problem.

What is the security setting on your router, Roy? I have to turn off security on my Orbi mesh router before I can connect to the car to download updates. It will not connect with WPA/WPA2-Personal security enabled. However, since the Wall Charger should be set to WPA2, I wonder if the car will...

I really don't have any choice on the security page. You just supply your wireless network name, network key (password) and security method (None, WPA2-personal, WPA3-personal, or WPA/WPA2-personal). Pretty typical configuration for any wireless router.

I didn't think about the wall connector but that's what I consider an essential item for home charging. It is indeed a wise investment!

I used 30% - the tint shop said the rear windows were 25% so the fronts are a little lighter than the rears, but almost no difference. I'm very pleased with 30%.

I'm having an issue downloading updates to my MYP. I have a Netgear mesh router (Orbi) that extends my wi-fi signal to the garage. Phone and tablet connects and accesses internet with blazing speed. The security is configured to use WPA/WPA2 Personal, and is of course password protected. Here's...

Since acquiring my 2022 MYP in March I've spent a little over $6000 in upgrades and accessories. To some of you that's a lot, and to others just a drop in the bucket! So after nine months and 35 accessories later, what are the top 5 things I'm glad I installed? I'll list mine and you list yours...

Tirerack says it will work. I'm surprised it's rated for SUV weight, but 23lb wheel would be great! I just dumped my 21" Ubers for 19" Stance SF03s at 24lb, and I can definitely feel a difference in acceleration, efficiency, and ride quality.

Good questions! One of the things I was looking for was a taller sidewall for a smoother ride. I can definitely feel a difference, as would be expected. Speedbumps at 5mph used to feel like a punch to the gut, but now it's much gentler. There's also a noticeable difference when driving over...

STANCE SF03 rotary forged wheels in 19x8.5"

My Uberturbine swap for rotary forged wheels by Stance. 24lb. 19x8.5 with Michelin Pilot Sport AS, 255/45/-19s all four corners. Couldn't be happier with the results.

I'm dumping my Uberturbines for a set of Stance SF03s rotary forged wheels in gloss black, 19"x8.5" front and rear. Michelin 255/45-19s. Want a higher sidewall, rim protection, ability to rotate tires (f/r), and lighter wheels for quicker acceleration (the SF03s weigh in at 24lb). I'll post pics...

This is a GREAT idea, and something I've been thinking about more often as I see more and more electric cars test with very impressive 0-60 times! I certainly would pay to gain about a half second and get under 3 seconds for my 0-60. It's got to be something they could provide if enough people...

I just transported some big boxes with patio furniture in them and had to drive with the rear hatch open a few feet. What bugged me was not finding any attachment points for tie-downs other than the single latch on the frame (this is supposed to be an SUV, right?). I ended up looping some lines...

Removed my existing Hansshow phone holder/charger and installed their Switchback Dash in my MYP, and wanted to share my thoughts after a month. PROS: Small design does not block air con. Neat feature that allows it to flip 180 degrees and become a phone holder/charger. USB port to allow firmware...

A half hour after the sun sets, NOTHING tops a Black car! It's their magic time.

Best solution to our problem is to open a case with NHTSA. I did that and enclosed a description of when it happened along with screenshots of what I believe caused it (shadow and dark patches on the road). It's just unacceptable to be cruising along at 75mph with nothing around you and suddenly...

Just updated to 2022.20.6 last week (22'MYP) and noticed a significant reduction in regen braking even though settings have remained the same. In my normal driving I actually touch the brake pedal maybe 5% during stops. After the upgrade I was using it maybe 20% of the time. Anyone noticing...

Just came across these covers by Rotiform wheels. They attach on top or 3 different wheel designs (19x8.5) that the company makes. Anyone using them or have any experience? To me it just screams "EV".

Latest software version 2022.12.3.3 - naturally

Just took a trip from Orange County to Las Vegas. On the return trip we experienced 3 phantom braking events while in autopilot mode. Each event had one thing in common --- a "dark" object perpendicular to the road surface. See the pics and let's hear if you've encountered something similar. As...

Let's just get this settled once and for all... this is the coolest looking Y on the planet!

I bought the model from Tesla, and will return it today. It's not anything special, sags in the middle (several inches), no magnets, and is basically the same china-made shade found elsewhere but with a Tesla label attached - for $120! Not worth it to me.

I listen to AM talk radio, exclusively - rarely music. Is there any way to stream iHeart from my phone using my Tesla's LTE for data, and not my phone's? Seems like a perfect solution if that's possible. People talk about using their phone as a hotspot, but I guess I want to use Tesla's LTE as a...

Ordering a Model 3 on the website, and all colors are now missing chrome? When did that happen? I'm happy as can be, since it saves me from having a shop do it but just wondering when and why it happened?
