    Are there any radar detector mounts for the Model Y?

    At this point, don't ever count on Blendmount making a radar detector mount for the Model Y. They've been in "testing" mode for nearly a year.

    Is now REALLY a good time to buy a new Tesla? [Jan 2023 / April 2023]

    No need to buy the “home charger”. Any electrician can install a NEMA 14-50 outlet, then wire to the fuse box. Cost is $300 for the whole thing here in California, but can be more if you need a ton of wiring. I simply had the outlet installed on the other side of my fuse box, in my garage, so...

    Is now REALLY a good time to buy a new Tesla? [Jan 2023 / April 2023]

    That $69k for the model S, was that with some sort of incentive? I don’t recall the Model S ever being below $90k

    Moving for work with no home charging - thoughts, advice?

    Sounds like a well thought out plan. Good luck to you sir.

    Feel bad for the folks driving dinosaurs in this heat!

    Where I live it’s going to be 108-112 over the next week. The preconditioning is a great feature, but I like the Cabin Overheat Feature more, especially when the car sits outside at work.

    Moving for work with no home charging - thoughts, advice?

    If you have doubts and are to the point of asking on this forum, then you already know the answer. Regret is a cruel mistress. And just because there is L2 chargers at your work, doesn’t mean you’ll have access when you need them. Break downs also mean they’ll likely never be fixed. How far is...

    Hansshow Mini dash display 5.16"

    Where I live it will hit 130 degrees outside, and it’s regularly that in the car these days, even with the sunshade. I also have a roof shade. So, unless I’m driving, the sun doesn’t hit my display. I can only imagine that getting hit with that much direct sunlight and heat, can’t be good for...

    Hansshow Mini dash display 5.16"

    Do you use a sunshade, or leave it directly in the sun? Just curious, as I have had mine for a while now and never leave it exposed. My car is garage kept and when parked outside, I always use a shade. Have not had this issue… so far.

    Anyone have experience with the Tesmanian vs RPM abs spoilers?

    I bought the new body model Vette, when they came out in 2005. Was a fan it, but the rear wheels would spin way to easy. I was also the first car I ever bought with a HUD and G indicator. Until I bought my first Tesla a couple years ago, the Vette was the only car that felt space age. I def...

    Late 2021 onwards MIC Model 3s Have poor/faulty air conditioning from factory

    Don’t suppose you bought this part and installed it? If not, I suggest doing so. You can get them on Amazon or AliExpress for a few bucks. Prevent leaves and debris from getting down into where the motor assembly is for the AC, causing those sounds you describe Link: Air intake vent cover

    Anyone have experience with the Tesmanian vs RPM abs spoilers?

    One: It mimics the look of the Performance model. Two: carbon fiber has always been associated with speed. Formula 1, MotoGP, etc… Three: carbon fiber is considered an upgrade over painted plastic/metal. Four: a lot of people prefer the look of CF over painted plastic/metal. What’s the point of...

    Tesla Model Y Spoiler - Best Carbon Fiber Spoilers

    Where do you think RPMTesla get their parts from? Hint: rhymes with klina In fact, almost every part on their website is identical to the same parts I find on AliExpress. I go to RPMTesla for speed of delivery, return policy and I’m supporting a small U.S. based business.

    What iPhone case fits Tesla wireless charger?

    iPhone 14 Pro… use thin cases from Spigen and Chinese no name brands. I don’t utilize the MagSafe style of cases, and never have any issues charging. I even use my Pixel Stand (2nd gen) to charge my iPhone, without issue. With that said, anything more than 7mm of distance between the phones...

    Roof Sun Shade - recommendations?

    After looking at your website and reading your installation guides, it’s pretty obvious you did some direct translation (from whatever language is the primary) into English. Grammar and syntax is incorrect in numerous places. If you want to be as professional looking as possible, I would...

    Tesla's reason for not adding spare tires, doesn't make sense.

    I was going to say the same thing. Who buys a rechargeable compressor? That’s an item you should never have to worry about, much less remembering to recharge it every month or so?!?

    Tesla's reason for not adding spare tires, doesn't make sense.

    I’ve been driving for nearly 40 years now and we’ll over a million miles, and in my ownership of about as many cars as years, I’ve had 1 flat tire. And I woke up to it being flat. I carry a small compressor and fix-a-flat for the “just in case” situation, just like you. And if that doesn’t...

    Hills Matte Carbon Fiber dash and door trim review

    I personally prefer to replace the entire piece. Originally I bought the kind that just sticks over the wood for my M3, but it doesn’t look good IMO, since you can still see the wood on the end if you look close. Replacing the entire piece, with a real carbon fiber insert, looks OEM. Just my OCD.

    Hansshow Mini dash display 5.16"

    I would, since it plugs into the wiring harness, but that’s just me. I wouldn’t want to give them any reason to void my warranty.

    TAPTES perforated, NAPA leather seat covers for M3 install (Pics)

    I’d say it does. In my Y, without the seat covers, my back sweats all the time. (I have black seats in my Y). In my 3, with these covers it doesn’t nearly make me sweat as much. I guess because of the air pocket it creates? Or maybe the white reflecting more light, the entire seat stays cooler...

    Hansshow Mini dash display 5.16"

    Sorry if you are talking about a different display, as there are 13 pages on this thread now (on my phone anyway), but if the display is like mine and connects via the main computer (ECU), then whatever is seen on the main display, is seen on the smaller screen, since they are both fed the same...

    Roof Sun Shade - recommendations?

    They are all the same, since they are drop shipped from China when you order, as most Amazon stores don't have their own warehouses. Anyway, been using this style on my Model 3 since August 2021, and now on my Model Y. Where I live, it regularly reaches 120 degrees in the summer and these do a...

    Hills Matte Carbon Fiber dash and door trim review

    Let me do some clarification here since I own the 2023 Austin built AWD variant and a 2021 M3 and have a full CF dash for my M3 and the stick on CF dash for my MY (since no one makes a full CF dash for the Austin built MY yet) The door panels are the same for all variants of the MY. I didn't...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Added the light up door sill protectors to my MY today. Have had this exact same version on my M3 for nearly a year now, and they still look and function great. Not bad for $90 and they don't require you to remove the stock sill protectors.

    (Pics) - 2023 Austin Built MY AWD trunk storage side covers

    Finally can confirm a seller that has the side trunk storage covers that fit the 2023 Austin and Berlin built Model Y AWD. As you can see in the first pic, the left one fits all other Model Y's, while the one on the right is specific to the Austin and Berlin built MY AWD variants. It's more...

    Are others waiting for 2023.6.9 update?

    I saw the updates come in rapid succession for others, which worried me a bit, so I held off on updating until this weekend to 2023.12.x

    Tesla Blind Spot Monitor

    Yep. Exactly what I am referring to. I have the exact same product. Sumo is severely overpricing these for what they are. I can understand a 100-200% increase for convenience, but an 800% increase?!? That's taking advantage of the customer.

    Tesla Blind Spot Monitor

    Holy Jesus, what a rip off! Talk about a severe case of marking the price up to "ridiculous". They charge $160, plus shipping. 😂 You can buy these for $20 (this includes shipping) from AliExpress or $40 from Amazon. And yes, they are the exact same product. I have them on both my Tesla's and...

    Aftermarket Illuminated Door Sills

    Nope. Tesla won't do anything, as your doors are "within tolerance" of specs. That's the nice way of telling you to pound sand. 😂 Plus, you are adding aftermarket parts, that are causing the issues. Tesla won't touch it.
  35. LBM4

    Aftermarket Illuminated Door Sills

    Before I even saw the pics with the door sill scratched up, I could tell the back, bottom portion of your door was gonna hit and scratch the sills. I'm also guessing your seeing scratches in the clear coat on the door?

    This looks like all the other spoilers you can get on Aliexpress, Evannex, etc... Is there something special I'm missing?

    Aftermarket Illuminated Door Sills

    I don't believe there is any way to address it, without removing the door itself and either adjusting the gap at the bottom to make it wider, therefore pushing the door up or modifying the bottom of the door itself. Not worth it IMO, for zero gain.

    Aftermarket Illuminated Door Sills

    I just bought another set for my Model Y, that are to arrive this weekend. I'll see if these have any scuffing issues.
  39. LBM4

    Aftermarket Illuminated Door Sills

    I don't recall seeing any issues with mine. You bought the ones that slide over the original, correct? I'm willing to bet that some doors are lower that others. Gaps on Tesla's can vary by several mm's, and yours could very will be rubbing, whilst most other people have no issues.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Just curious, as I see you have a tow hitch. Does your hitch cover not seat properly, and when you do remove it, does it scratch the lower plastic on the car? Is that why you have it completely removed?

    Model Y AWD Standard Ordered April-May 2023

    I got my trade-in info while I still had my car and was driving it. My offer actually expired after 30 days because I was still waiting on a car. The 2nd offer came in 2 days after the first offer expired, and Tesla offered me $2k more money for my trade-in (this was in Jan, BTW). I accepted...

    Seeing your red, makes me regret going with the grey. Might I recommend CF mirror caps? Better than PPF and they add a nice touch IMO, especially on red cars.

    Are there any radar detector mounts for the Model Y?

    You'd think!?! They have literally been putting it off for 2 years! Imagine how many orders they would have had in that timeframe!

    Nope. It only gives you the cars data. Blinkers on, lights, speed, odometer, battery level, etc

    Are there any radar detector mounts for the Model Y?

    Blendmount now says they are Beta testing and it won't be until sometime in June before you can order. I think I'm going to get a crappy Amazon one until Blendmount gets theirs done.... Which may not be until 2024 at this rate.

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    The one that looks like this. it's the mini display that replaces the stock plastic, on top of the steering wheel column, so it looks stock. The second pic is how it looks on my car.
