    Model Y Performance - what are you guys at Wh/mi?

    I went a little cheaper by going tsportline. While not forged or as light at 23 lbs a wheel i secured a set with tpms and Michelin pilot sport A/S for 3200 shipped. They have tesla tpms and the wheel were recognized once they were mounted. The increase in range is marginal. One short trip...

    Model Y Performance - what are you guys at Wh/mi?

    Reno to sf with two stops ended up 297 wh/mi. Did a short trip that is usually 315 wh/mi and recorded 297 wh/mi. Makes sense. The foot print is smaller on the 18’s compared to the 21’s. Ride is much compliant now. Handling suffered a little but overall a good trade off.

    Model Y Performance - what are you guys at Wh/mi?

    Went from sf to Reno and efficiency was 344 wh/mi. That’s using ac and doing 75-80 in stretches.

    Model Y Performance - what are you guys at Wh/mi?

    I drove 87 miles yesterday and got 295wh/mi. There was a strong head wind on the return drive and the last time I made this trip I recorded 315wh/mi on the 21 inch ubers. Temp varied from 58-70 degrees from overcast/drizzly to sunny, and I set the speed to 72 mph on ap both ways. One...

    Model Y Performance - what are you guys at Wh/mi?

    Just mounted these. Much smoother than the 21’s but I can feel more give in the tires, so I am sure I lost a little bit of handling. Fair trade off until I upgrade the suspension. My driving involves a lot of elevation changes. I’ll be curious to see what difference this makes. The steering...

    I may do this to secure the tire on long trips.

    My flat tire experience (Model Y 19) April 2023

    Did you strap it down? I saw in another post that there are bolts under the carpet that can used to install hold down cables to it and then reinstall the carpet afterwards.

    My flat tire experience (Model Y 19) April 2023

    It was 299 on ebay and they kept rasing the price daily. Last time I checked it was 350 plus tax. I ended up buying the tsportline spare for 454 with tax and shipping.

    Are they tesla mudflaps? They seem to be longer than aftermarket ones. I scrape mine in my drive way.

    Sudden Battery drain

    I pulled this from the model 3 owners manual. Regenerative Braking Regenerative braking can be limited if the Battery is too cold. As you continue to drive, the Battery warms up and regenerative power increases (see Regenerative Braking)...

    Sudden Battery drain

    I would add that heating the battery before you leave could help you regen faster. I know when I leave the house it doesn't start to regen right away until 5 minutes into the drive and my garage is never below 60 degrees. In cold weather, it probably takes longer before regen begins working.

    IRS weighs in on tax rebate, mostly bad news for Model Y

    I know one rav4 prime owner and he doesn’t plug at home but his wife does when she’s at work. He paid 5k over sticker. Can’t remember when but it was at the height of low inventory. Edit-he lives in an apartment. If he had a home he probably would charge at home.

    Sudden Battery drain

    My signal was weak or the antenna weak in the Tesla but either way the rate was 3kb a sec. It was trying to download for two weeks. Finally I took a hot spot and associated to it. It seemed to connect but the download was non existent. Switch to 2.4 and it connected at 350kb a second. Can’t...

    Is Tesla Y better than other all electric SUVs?

    As long as you don’t run the quarter mile or do multiple runs it won’t affect you. He did multiple runs, so he saw the limitation.

    Is Tesla Y better than other all electric SUVs?

    Mach E GT still has this limitation. Regular Mach E AWD doesn't seem to have this limitation. https://insideevs.com/news/601920/ford-mustang-mache-gt-power-limit/

    Is Tesla Y better than other all electric SUVs?

    I was behind a GV60 yesterday. I didn't recognize it from behind. No racing stories either although I would not have been shy and I had more than 50 percent SOC. :)

    Got Delivery message today, can I DELAY it?

    I believe I read that LR was suppose to have matrix light but they were delayed because of supply chain issues. The model 3 appears to have them. The Modely Y p has matrix lights. New cameras may be worth waiting for.

    Got Delivery message today, can I DELAY it?

    What changes are coming? You qualify for a $3750 credit on the price right now. You’ll lose it once December ends. Has the tax credit been finalized? If you cannot afford it now you should delay it.

    Is Tesla Y better than other all electric SUVs?

    One thing to consider is how much you would pay for Y if you ordered today with the same configuration. As others have written you should test drive the competition to see how they stack up. No harm in looking.

    Wheel wax or sealant

    I was referring more to my skills when it comes wrapping the car. 😀 I live in sf, so it’s not too cold or hot in the garage. I’ll just lay them on the floor after applying and wiping off the coating. Two more weeks with my Ubers won’t be bad.

    Wheel wax or sealant

    That price doesn’t sound bad at all considering the labor necessary. I look at it when you pay a shop you are paying for their skill and knowledge. They developed the skill to put together a great product for the clientele. They deserved to be paid. I have a clean garage but the house is...

    Wheel wax or sealant

    Actually I asked my friend his opinion about me buying a porter cable and he said it’s not worth it. I don’t have an hoa to deal with but at some point I think I’ll figure out a short cut and end up not doing a good job. Better to have it done right by someone who does it for living. Or...

    Wheel wax or sealant

    They had a 20 percent off coupon for the decontamination spray, so I couldn’t resist. Labor wise I was thinking of reapplying it more frequently compared to something that lasts longer but I reckon not too much more since I am going to lay a few coats on them. I am in no rush putting the new...

    Wheel wax or sealant

    The Thanks again for the input and links! I ordered the budget items for the wheels although it may be less labor intensive long term using the Adam's products. I've only hand wash my Y once in year. I've been using Chemical brothers waterless carwash the rest of the time. I'll...

    Has anyone bought and used Drag DR-83 wheels?

    It’s good to see you did the research. I have a set of rings at home for a Mini Cooper I used to have. I’m can’t remember why I bought them since I had the Ssr gt1 wheels(out of business) on them and they fit perfectly. I’ve got a new set of tsportlines and I am looking at ceramic coating...

    Wheel wax or sealant

    I am thinking about ppf on the front of the car. I am tempted to try myself. There is a kit the bearded Tesla guy used that comes in five pieces. I have a heat gun just waiting to be used to correct my mistakes 🤣. I saw that you have the mpp coil overs with the the 19 inch tsportlines...

    Has anyone bought and used Drag DR-83 wheels?

    I saw a difference in the offset and center bore between the two. The tsportlines match the factory specs for the center bore and the drag’s are larger. Not an expert on wheels, so just pointing that out. Fwiw the tsportlines are plug and play. I don’t know what effort you’ll need to...

    Wheel wax or sealant

    Thanks for the info! It’s a lot to digest. I was looking at ceramic coating my car but I as you pointed out it will need the prep work before applying it. And I saw a video for engineering explained where if someone does ceramic coat it makes it more challenging to apply ppf later. I may...

    Thanks for the video. I am watching it right now.. It looks like I need to add a couple of sponges as well as the ceramic coating and some decontamination spray before I start.

    Thanks! I will look into Adams and see what it costs to ceramic cost it.

    Wheel wax or sealant

    I have a new set of tsportline wheels and I was curious how many people wax/seal their wheels? Since I haven’t mounted it it’s a good time for me to wax/seal the wheels.

    How much do I save in fuel costs over ICE? A lot, but at times it really depends....

    I took a trip from San Francisco to Reno and back Oct 21st-23rd, 2022. Including some local driving here and in Reno I went around 506 miles. Charging at superchargers and EA the total cost was around $50.00. My old F25 X3 would have gotten about 21 mpg or so. I didn't pay attention to the...

    Rear Tire Wear - Uberturbine 21" - MYP

    I remeasured and rears are actually 6/32 but the same all around. The fronts are 8/32 in the middle and 7/32 towards the outside. The middle thread still have the ribs in them.

    Rear Tire Wear - Uberturbine 21" - MYP

    I did measure all the way around. I recalled the front driver side being 7/32 towards the outside. Kind of surprised they were uniformed. I am was expecting more wear but I am not as aggressive a driver as I used to be. The rib in the middle is disappearing.

    Rear Tire Wear - Uberturbine 21" - MYP

    After reading this thread I checked my rear tires and I didn't see the same wear on the inside. They have been inflated around 40-43 psi cold. I measured the tread depth and it's 7/32 in the rear and 8/32 in the front. I have 14k miles on 21" p zeros.

    new comfort suspension switch over dates

    I was in reno October 21st-23rd this year and I have the 21 P zeros and the ride was more of stage coach than a donkey cart. I've never ridden in either but I had to compare it to something. At least downtown reno out to the Atlantis the ride was very compliant. It was much better than in SF...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Thanks for the update. The tires ordered are the Pilot 4 A/S. On the ubers, the average was around 311 or so but rececntly I reduced my speed to around 65 on the freeway and turned off the AC and that got it down to 307 wh @14k miles. I saw some of his updates and they are align with what you...
