I'd rather under-torque with the impact, then fine tune by hand - so I use 120ft lb torque sticks, and follow up manually with a torque wrench. 9 times out of 10, the 120ft lb torque stick has me between 125-130ft lbs, so there's not much left to do with the torque wrench. The torque sticks...

An angle grinder or plasma cutter would likely cut the shackles right off. Nobody would waste their time picking the locks. They would pull the wheels off and cut the shackles off at their leisure while at another location.

My earlier post was wrong - when I went out today and I tapped the spray button, it activated the wipers 1x. But it did bring up the wiper card. :rolleyes:

I normally just tap the windshield spray button on the left stalk, and it brings up the wiper control card on the display. If you just tap it, it doesn't spray and it doesn't activate the wipers - it only brings up the card.

I had initially bought a set of the pry bars for the stock hitch cover in 2021, but it was still a pain to remove the stock cover with the pry bars. I've bought this hitch cover from Ungødly Design in 2022, and it's been great. You can remove it and replace it in a few seconds. Ungødly Design...

My 2021 MYLR has a heated steering wheel, and the HEPA filter / Biodefence mode. Mine is an August 2021 build.

I poked around in the app a little while ago and couldn't figure out how to remove a charger. Tesla stuff isn't always the most intuitive.... :rolleyes:

I've got (2) Tesla Wall Connectors and (2) Tesla's. I paired Wall Connector #1 first (that my wife uses with her car typically) , and Wall Connector #2 second (that I typically use). The Tesla APP only shows one car in the garage, and if both of our cars are plugged in, it only shows the...

It's available now! $800 installed.... https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-3-powered-liftgate-retrofit I'm considering this for my wife's 2019 M3.

I'm going to be in China for 3 weeks in October, and I'll be in Shanghai for probably 10 days of that trip. I used to travel to Hong Kong and China quite a bit pre-covid. I rode in my first Tesla (a Model S - UBER!) in Hong Kong in 2015. I saw a reference from 2022 on this site about being...

I scratched my bumper backing up to my trailer, and I used a black sharpie, a wet microfiber towel, and some fine sand paper to blend it. You can't tell there was ever a mark on the bumper anymore.

You can do this - and more - with TeslaFi. Check in the "Controls" menu, then the "Schedules & Reminders" section. I've been a happy TeslaFi user for 2 years, and have an account for both of my Tesla's. It records just about every data point the car offers, presents a ton of stats, and adds...

If you can get ahold of your guests via phone, they can unlock the charge port from their app.

It's not a wireless charger, but I have these for my Model 3 and Model Y, and they work great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TQQ1319/ You could always replace the phone cradle with a wireless cradle. The mounting ball is the same that's used on just about every other swivel phone mount...

At least in VA, there are quite a few superchargers at Sheetz and WaWa gas stations. Both brands have food, snacks, restrooms, etc, and are open 24/7. It's a step in the right direction.

My wife's M3 just factory reset after we installed 2023.2.10. She's pissed.. luckily we realized it this evening.

I've got 50% ceramic on my windshield and I can see fine at night. I've got 20% on my front windows (to match the rear windows), and that would be waaay too dark on the windshield for me.

Yep. Turning off bluetooth will work for you.

Yep. I had my front windows done with 20% ceramic, and it matches great.

My son used Zebra , and my daughter used GetJerry to find the best rates where each of them live.

Just to update the thread - I bought the tires and rims, and have already picked them up.

I'm looking for a Black MY drivers side front fender - part # 1493451-01-a . Please let me know if you have one in good condition that you'd like to sell. Thanks!

Wireguard works great with the Tesla app, and everything else. I've got a Wireguard server at my house that I can tunnel into. For this I use a GLiNet GL-A1300. I also subscribe to AzireVPN which has Wireguard servers around the world. It's been one of the few ways I can break through the...

I just installed v3.5.7 . I love the confirmations. Thanks!

I know your post is several months old, but I have similar damage do to someone bumping me in a parking lot. I'm curious - with the $1400 quote - did that include them replacing the bent fender?

If you have prices, can you send them to me too? Someone hit my MY and I need to replace the front left fender (1493451-01-A) . Thanks..

Yep. That's the message.

We're seeing the same thing on my wife's 2019 M3 SR+. Her car is currently on 2022.40.4.1, and we first noticed it on 2022.40.4 about a week ago. We have her car scheduled to start charge at midnight, and the overnight lows have been in the mid-20's - mid-30's for the last few weeks. TeslaFi...

I've had AAA for over 25 years, most of that being a Premier member. I have myself, wife and 2 kids on the acct. Yes, we've had to wait an hour at times, because AAA farms out the tows - but if you're Premier , you get priority, and if you say you're 'not in a safe place' , you get more...

I'm not in the bay area, but if you check with an insurance broker, they should be able to shop rates for you amongst a bunch of different companies. I've been an AAA member for 25+years, and they do this. That's how I wound up with Travelers. Both of my kids (ages 24 & 22) live on their own...

Since you don't know anyone with a wall connector, can you try a free Tesla (not J1772) destination charger, which is basically the same thing? Check Plugshare.com or the Plugshare app to find one near you.

Very cool. I had 20+ years and several black belts in different "Asian" martial arts before I found Systema. Wish I had found it sooner! My son & I practiced Systema for about 5 years, but I've been out of it for a few years as my "local" group disbanded. Thanks for the seat info too! :)

Good info in the video's - thanks. I was considering options to make my seats more comfortable. :) A non-Tesla question - are you the George Borrelli that teaches Systema? (found via google when I was looking for the youtube vids).

Can you share what the product is? I'd like to give it a try. Thanks!

I've got the issue with my Model-Y, and the WD-40 is temporary solution. It lasts a few weeks at best.

I'm from NY. I've been that way ever since I started driving. :p With the Tesla's, at least now I know I can pass them with ease... :cool:

Hope she's ok. It's not a good feeling when you get that call and have to go to the accident scene or hospital.

I was going to suggest doing the same thing!! :)

My kids are 22 and 24, and I'll be honest - If I had a Tesla when they were teens, I wouldn't have let them drive them. Heck, I wouldn't let them drive our Tesla's now. :) You're probably better off getting them safe beater cars, because they will damage them/wreck them. Both of my kids...

Thanks for the heads-up. My new MY isn't set to be delivered for a few months, but I signed up for the checking account today!

It's off unless you open one of the doors. You can also add a 12v switch to make sure it stays off when you want it to - which is what I did.

I just had my MYLR's windshield replaced last week (10/06) at Tesla in Richmond/Glen Allen, VA. Labor was $282.75. Here's a copy of the invoice as a reference. I checked with Safelite too, and they wanted $1705 for their "economy service".

I'm looking for something like this too. My wife just curbed two of the wheels on her M3... 🤬

You should be able to add a sub-panel, and add the EV charger and some other outlets to the sub-panel. And yes, the NEMA 14-50 outlet requires 2 slots (double breaker).

Have you found any documentation which lets you know what state's they're approved to lend in? I looked online and couldn't find anything.

I was going to suggest that as well. They get weak over time. They're cheap and very easy to replace. You can also wire up a new outlet , using a new breaker and breaker slot - if one is available.

I sent you a pm...

Mine cracked yesterday, and I have an appt next week at the local SC to get it replaced. Every now and then I'd hear a loud "pop" from the windshield while driving. Did anyone who had a stress crack ever experience that? Mien cracked from the top center edge of the windshield, down the...
