    Tesla required me to acknowledge no USS

    My Kubota tractor is a semi too. I think the programming line goes something like... I DUNNO = SEMI

    Why I cancelled my order

    I must have gotten the rare good one. No issues at (or post) delivery, and not lamenting missing knobs and screens or moaning about other well known characteristics of the model. It has lots of truly amazing attributes and quite a few opportunities for improvement. As Popeye said "Ya pays ya...

    Why I cancelled my order

    He could have built more assets if he had taken delivery and flipped it to Carvana. Possibly a maroon.

    Tesla $7500 Tax Credit Coming Back?

    The price I paid for my 2022 YLR is less than the current price minus the credit. It is fun feeling rained on, but I'd say we got about the same deal.

    Tinting Model Y Roof

    In my state (Georgia) the LEO's routinely ignore illegally tinted side glass. Other than the occasional Barney Fife local cop, the only times I've seen side tint get written is as an add-on to a more serious stop or if it was a suspicious car and they used it as PC for the stop. However, they...

    Model Y New Tires

    Have a look the Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3. I have them on an ICE SUV and am very satisfied with them for quietness, traction, etc. I like them over the CC2 because the tires are not directional tread and you can 4-way rotate them for longer life. Also the cost is lower and the wear rating is...

    Uncomfortable driver seat?

    PPF and Ceramic in Atlanta, GA area

    My new Model Y is the second car I've had done by Chris @ Zero Defects in Brazelton. He worked his usual magic on it. I had PPF installed on the front bumper; hood; both front fenders; outside mirrors; and the rocker panels up to the body crease in the doors. It should cover all the "at risk"...

    Lets talk mud flaps, spot welded nuts and loose bolts (also why every Model Y owner needs mud flaps)

    Web site rallyarmor.com flags as not secure. Not a fan of credit card transactions over non-secure sites. Any other sources available for these?

    Georgia/Atlanta Waiting Room

    Haven't priced it yet. Thought I'd make sure that I love the car and expect a long term relationship with it. After that, I'll see what it is going to cost.

    Georgia/Atlanta Waiting Room

    I"ll ask Chris for guidance, but going in I expect I'd do PPF on the hood, bumper, front fenders, and RV mirrors - then ceramic all over. This is what he did for my Miata....

    I'll be by there Saturday to pick up my MYLR. As far as ceramic and PPF, check out Chris at Zero Defects

    Is Tesla’s home page down?

    I often have trouble accessing it, though all other web sites open instantly. Tesla.com stalls and doesn't load. It is as if they have used their bandwidth allocation. From a premier tech company this seems unimaginable. But there it is. I am also interested in the what and why of this.

    November Orders

    No, I'm still showing an EDD of July 7-13 and have not been contacted by a service representative. I have a cashier's check ready for the full amount of the purchase but I haven't heard from them whether my plan to pay after inspection will fly. I can't imagine otherwise, but we'll see.

    Model Y Suspension and Ride Comfort Options

    At least I am not naive enough to think that they stuck an idiot on the line and told him to put in what ever pressure he wants to. There should be a spec pressure applied when it leaves the factory. The car should leave the factory in-spec. It is neither futile or pointless. They aren't...

    Model Y Suspension and Ride Comfort Options

    It should be the college kid that spec'ed the set point on the inflator and not the part time high school kid with the nozzle in his hand. By your logic, the entire car should be haphazardly assembled. Maybe it is. Mine is enroute so I do not know. If "random" tire pressures are coming off...

    Thinking of buying Model Y LR

    Or, "I wish my Tesla Y had a more punishing suspension, less ground clearance, and tires I couldn't 4-way rotate. If you can be satisfied with the LR performance (plus the acceleration boost if needed) you can keep these LR improvements and a bit of change for coilovers, tires and wheels, PPF...

    No CCS compatibility; legal?

    Well, now that a Jeep owner has sued the manufacturer after his vehicle was involved in a collision because (he says) it did not have the optional autonomous braking feature that he did not order, yeah, you probably can sue Tesla for not giving you something they never said you were going to get.

    Using Tray Cable for Wall Connector Installation -- Too Good to Be True?

    VNTC, I think. I believe the OP may be out of compliance running it above ground through a planter. I think there is a disconnect between what he calls "open air" and what the code calls "aerial with a messenger". The cable cannot the installed where it is subject to physical damage. NEC...

    Tesla uses 1/6 the energy compared to gasoline

    They will be even cooler with Gaussian linear magnetic accelerator powered cannons that use no gunpowder. The Tankers won't need hearing protection and won't have to endure the spent gases in the turrets. It will be a future where we can kill enemy combatants (or in the case of Russia...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    Well, my MYLR moved from Feb-Mar to November. I doubt I'll wait that long. They'll make $250 on me off of my desire to own something that they are unable to provide. That's a great racket. No wonder the man's richer than Jeff Bezos. Jeff actually sent you things for your money.

    Jacking up via suspension?

    Someone once said that lifting a wheel with the suspension is like sticking your finger up your butt and picking yourself off the ground. But, the Citroën could perform that feat over 60 years ago.

    Model Y Performance vs Macan EV and home charging

    Aluminum wire would be about 1/3 the cost of copper. A garage sub-panel of higher capacity than the expected need gives you the most future-proofing.
