I use ONR rinse-less wash only for basic washes. If it's too dirty, I will take it to a hand car wash. Takes me less than 10 minutes to wash my car. 1. Pre-spray with ONR with a pump spray and wait a few minutes. 2. Use two gallons of distilled water with ONR and wipe the car down with a...

I have a set of Gemini wheels with hubcaps for sale. No tires or TPMS. Only 50 miles on them before swapping to aftermarket. I am in the LA area(west side). Asking for $700 cash.

I ended up repainting the bumper at an authorized Tesla body shop. Cost $1000

Ouch. Did you have PPF? Did you scrape a wall? I gave up trying to fix it myself and spent $1000 and had my bumper repainted.

$800 cash. Tesla Model Y Gemini wheels with covers for sale. No tires or TPMS sensors. Replaced with aftermarket wheels after delivery. I'm in the West Side near LAX.

I threw both of them in the trash can after getting aftermarket.

That's why they're called 3-season tires.

dropping to $800

I have a set of Gemini wheels with hubcaps for sale. No tires or TPMS. Only 50 miles on them before swapping to aftermarket. I am in the LA area(west side). Asking for $900 cash.

It’s like a pretty girl getting a tattoo.

Hard to say. How old is your car? Looks like some substance was on it. Was it parked to a heater or something very hot? I would take it to a Service center.

No need to get dedicated winter tries if you are driving in the snow occasionally. Winter tires are not safe in warm weather because they wear out VERY fast. It's also a hassle to swap out tires just for an occasional trip. All-season tires are really 3-season tires because they turn to ice...

nicpottier What kind of ski bag did you use? Was it custom from raw materials? I want to make one.

Those TPMS sensors are designed to last for YEARS. Either they work or they don't. If it fails in the future, just buy a new one. No need to replace them now. They are still pretty new.

So you bought an expensive car with no emergency fund? $250 vs risking your life. Easy decision.

Go through a Tesla Collision center for an estimate. Do NOT agree to bypass their insurance. You are opening a can of worms. The individual hit your car and took off. What makes you think he will cooperate with you directly?

That was my mistake. I wet sanded it and used compound/polish. Haze did not go away.

But my premiums will go up if I file a claim. I think like $50 a month. So I'm going to fix it for $1000 and won't put PPF on it.

I kind of regretted getting PPF for my front bumper. It was $700. I just scraped my front bumper and the damage was $1000 to the bumper. The PPF has to be removed for repairs. So it's costing me $1700 instead of $1000. I might not put in PPF after the repairs. Like you guys said, it's...

I just got a quote from a Tesla shop for $1200 to repair. $200 just to remove the ppf. I tried using some touch up paint but it looks really bad. Also tried sanding it down a little and now got a haze around the spot. Here are my options. 1. Pay out of pocket. $1200 for repair + $700...

Peeled off the ppf. Good news, it was mostly ppf damage. Only one spot that is about half an inch. Estimates range from $125-$500. I have the OEM touch up paint. Should I just do it myself?

Is it cheaper to replace or repair a front bumper?

LOL

I peeled off the ppf near the heavily damaged area. The deep scratch looks like it hit the primer. The white long scratches look like it's ppf damage and the paint underneath should be ok.

I just noticed a big scratch in the left corner scratch of my front bumper. It does have PPF so the damage might have been more severe without it. Does it look like it was a scrape from another car or a wall? I checked my sentry videos and haven't found anyone hitting my car in the past...

Someone stole your catalytic converter.

Ceramic coating and it it was still penetrated?

No point of ceramic coating because it will wear off in a few years. If your car gets in a crash or gets damaged, the coating needs to be applied again. Just use graphene ceramic spray and it will last about a year. I pay a mobile detailer $175 for wash, clay, and graphene coat. If I do that...

Tsportline. I have TSV 19" wheels. They look sweet.

The best spoiler on the Model Y is no spoiler.

I bought my MY with the 19" geminis because the ride quality is better than 20" wheels. I bought the 19" TSVs in black and they look very good.

Michelin Pilot "Three" season 4. No such thing as all-season tires because they all turn to hockey pucks when the temperature is near freezing. You should look into "All-Weather" tires that don't freeze like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro or Toyo Celsius. They can be used year round.

I would just DIY and paint the wheels. Won't cost you more than $100 with paint and supplies. It's not harder than you think, just follow the youtube tutorials.

I only have a front PPF bumper on my Model Y. No need for ceramic coating. It's a waste of money. It won't protect you from inevitable chipping.

How much would he charge?

I bet you that Tesla will put just enough 4680 batteries in there to match the current range.

I would spray paint it myself. Won't cost you more than $100. It's not that difficult if you follow instructions on youtube. That's what I am planning to do with my gemini wheels. There is a shop in the OC that does swaps with powder-coated gemini wheels. You come in and they will swap it...

It's worth it. Anything that makes your life easier is worth the money. I get home and my garage opens automatically.

Only tint the side windows. Front and rear window tinting messes with the camera and causes some "electric" issues. There has also been reports of cracked tinted roofs.

I would leave the covers on. Protects the wheels from the harsh winter conditions.

This guy doesn’t know market pricing. He phailed economics 101.

AS are really 3 seasons. They all turn to hockey pucks when the temperature is near freezing.

3 season tires. No such thing as all season tires because they all turn to hockey pucks when it's near zero.

You should look into the Toyo Celsius. They perform better in snow than the Quatrac Pros. I'm strongly considering getting the Toyos.

Get the all weather Toyo Celsius tires on gemini wheels. They perform very well in snow. The Vredsteins are OK in snow.

More like 3 seasons.

I did a lot of research on all weather tires for the Model Y. The Toyo Celsius performs the best on snow and icy conditions. Wintrac Pros does not do so well in snow/ice. I'm seriously considering the Toyo Celsius for my Model Y.

Gen2 14-50 adapter? If it is. I can pick it up locally for $30. I live near LAX.

I had no car. So I took the bus to pick up my Tesla.

How much did it cost? Thinking about doing it too. It's way too sunny in So Cal.
