If you guys see a similar post of mine it's because I've lost it 3x somewhere! But I want to weigh in here with some good info. I took my Model Y to a performance alignment shop. The guys there said that many cars, especially Teslas seem to leave the factory with just passable alignments. Teslas...

My performance alignment guys tells me that many cars, especially Teslas come for the factory with alignment problems. They do just enough to get them out the door. Teslas are looked upon as a high performance automobile (rightfully so I think). Even though I had no uneven wear, I noticed my...

According to my performance alignment guys, this is a common problem with Tesla. Teslas are looked upon as a performance automobile. Even though I had no uneven wear, my steering wheel was slightly off center. I took my Model Y to a performance race car shop. These shops service the needs of...

I live in the US, but I think the principle still applies. Teslas are looked upon as a performance automobile. Even though I had no uneven wear, I took my Model Y to a performance race car shop. These shops service the needs of track and street, factory race cars. The alignment was perfect...

YIKES!!

**** me! I lost my accident video. Didn't know how to save or "eject disk" WTF? the video saves all the worthless sentry BS but loses accident footage!!?

I like the paradigm: Never wait to charge an EV when you have to, charge when you can!

Install a tesla charger at your home. It will be wired for 240 volts. If you use a 50 amp circuit breaker your be charging a MY at 9.6 kw, or about about 35 to 3 miles per hour. If you go to a max 60 breaker you'll charge around 40 mph. I'm actually quite happy with my old 30 amp dryer circuit...

Four people to Costco. Four shopping carts later. There's no way that we can pack it all into the Model Y. So, I was going to go home and grab the Nissan Titan but... And the rear well (not pictured) was filled to the brim too. Crazy space!!

I had the front of my Model Y wrapped with clear Xpel film, and asked the shop to put the plate holder on for me afterward. Since I no longer visit automatic car washes, I think it may hold up.

I think Elon spends so much time in Texas with SpaceX and his Austin expansion that it also make sense for him personally. Got to remember that he is human after all

OK. My wife is finally getting used to the car as jpy1980 (above) indicted. She wants to keep it now. :rolleyes: Its off the market. Thanks for your interest.

Wow! I thought air resistance could be a factor, but no idea of its influence on range. Thanks for your info. That's really good to know. I'd like to buy a small pop up camper one day, so I'll look for one with the least resistance.

Yes. I was carrying a queen size headboard, frame and footboard. The edge of headboard stuck out from the trailer and created some drag. I got a bit less range (20 miles or so) going up with my load, versus coming back with an empty trailer. Overall energy usage went from 270 Wh/mi (one driver)...

Strategically cutting a few clips really works. I bought a plastic spurger kit off amazon for about $12, and removal is dead simple.

I ordered my 2021 Model Y with a towing hitch for my bike rack. I decided to take it on a brief trip to my friend's house with a small, Uhaul motorcycle trailer. The lightly loaded trailer reduced my mileage by 40%, the safety hooks were very difficult to latch (tight fit in the hitch area), and...

I'm just going to drive the way I always have. Trying to drive to Teslas standard and survive in Houston traffic is unacceptable. I've got a 98% at this point. I'm just going to roll with it,but I drive a Y so...

LOL it was. Since its jointly owned, I can't do anything unless she agrees. So we'll see.
