I picked up my ‘22 MYP June ’22. Put 5k miles on the 21” Uberturbine/Pirelli then switched to 19” Gemini/Conti (from Craigslist, was told they had 5k miles on them). I immediately noticed how much smoother the ride was, especially on the small bumps and ruts common on the back roads. After 10 k...

I put 10,000 miles on a set of geminis that I bought used with (allegedly) 5,000 miles on them. Took them off and put the Ubers back on for summer driving. Checked the tread on the Contis on the Geminis, and all were consistent at 6/32 with no signs of abnormal wear. No alignment adjustments...

This is the hose to the driver's wiper blade. Anyone seen this happen? It almost looks like it was attacked by micro-mice.

Did you have autopilot engaged? All it takes is one bug splatter near the front camera, and the wipers will attempt to clear it with the wipers, thinking that it could be a raindrop. I’ve been cleaning the windshield more frequently, making sure the camera area is spotless. That seems to reduce...

I got these at Abstract Ocean. Does the job. https://abstractocean.com/products/wheel-cap-kit

It’s all about the wind drag. Remember, the top of the tire is moving at 2x the speed of the car, and drag goes up 4x. A small area with high drag can make a measurable difference on a relatively clean aerodynamic car. That offsets the energy needed to accelerate the extra weight. Of course, we...

“Normal” Tidal streaming quality (premium connectivity) beats anything streamed over Bluetooth. If you are connected to WiFi, Tidal plays (most songs) in lossless FLAC which is noticeably better. It also stores the HiFi song for subsequent plays. I’ve connected my MYP to my iPhone hotspot to...

That’s more than 2x my insurance deductible, so I guess I’ll live with the chips. I would be concerned that a film might affect the front cameras. Anyone done this and verified no issues with FSD or TACC?

Finally washed the car last week (which brought back another week of rain!) I did a careful inspection 🧐 as I was drying, and didn’t find a single chip, and only a tiny surface chip on the frunk hood, which I haven’t hit with the hair dryer yet. Compare that to the windshield, which now has 7...

As soon as you added airplanes to the list, I knew you should have added more superlatives for your wife!

That would work. My personal preference is to not use an adapter as a full-time solution. The adapters that I have seen are much longer than the ones for plugging a J1772 L2 plug into a Tesla. I don’t like the leverage it would add to the J1772 connector on the car. The 1772 connectors are...

Thanks for the tip on the 3SR. Maybe by the time she’s ready to drive, a 3SR might drop into the feasible price range.

Good advice, but I shudder at the thought of a teen driver in a TM3, even in chill mode. Also, the used EV tax credit is only for vehicles up to $25k, so the price of a TM3 is almost double the net price of a circa 2018 Leaf. It would be way cool to be a 2-T family, but even the Leaf will be a...

Another Tesla is way beyond my budget (still making $999/mo payments on my MYP). Emergency braking, lane deviation warning, TACC, are mandatory. The Leaf is the only EV around $20k that has that. If I'm wrong on that, someone please clue me in! Besides, I was happy with the 2014 Leaf I had...

Thanks, @Cosmacelf and @240vPlug ! My teen soon-to-be driver will likely be cashing in on a promise I made years ago: that if she could keep straight A's in high school, I would buy a car for her (at the time, something that seemed highly improbable). I'm considering something like a 2018 Leaf...

The product descriptions for the TWC Gen 3 and the Tesla J1772 Wall Connector both say they are capable of power sharing with other Wall Connectors. But, can they power share with one of each? I know power sharing doesn't work between Gen 2 and Gen 3, but I haven't seen anything pro or con for...

My MYP is about 9 months old. My wife is now about 110 lbs. Due to her Alzheimer's disease I have a waterproof seat cover (thin neoprene) and an absorbent "puppy pad" on the passenger seat. When the car was new, my wife was about 120 lbs. and the airbag would reliably activate. I started to...

Maybe I found a clue why the newer models don’t have the vent on the panel. I put a 3-axis accelerometer on the panel, starting on the underside where @teaston cut the hole. With a 30 Hz sine wave playing through the sub, that part of the panel has little z-axis (up and down) movement. It...

Instead of going up and over, I used these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KR2ZL68?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I used 3 of the 4 to run the charge cable on the garage floor, under the car. The speed bumps serve a dual purpose - protecting the cable, and providing a positive stop when...

I finally washed the car last weekend (dry and warm enough) and did an inspection for dings, scratches, etc., while drying. I did the full stealth wrap 3 weeks after delivery, and it's been 6 months since the wrap. No chips, dings, scratches - nada - on the paint. By comparison, I have 3 small...

I received my MYP last June. Ran on the 21” Ubers w/Pirelli Until October. Put on Geminis and Aero covers w/Contis with about 5k miles (or so I was told by the guy I bought them from). The first 7,500 miles with Ubers averaged 298 w/mile. The next 200 miles, with Geminis, Aero covers, same...

I hear you. I'll probably end up with a new sub enclosure and amp, but I figured I'd see what benefit I can squeeze out for a few $$$, at least until I can afford a real sub upgrade.

I went with the textile snow socks (that meet CVC 605). I got them just to be prepared in case I get caught needing them. I expect that they might not last more than one use, but if I plan right, that's one more time than I'll need them. After seeing the pictures of wheels trashed from chains...

Thanks for the info. I picked up an OEM Tesla midbass and subwoofer from eBay so I can measure the Theile-Small parameters to compare with potential replacements before I start pulling interior panels. No conclusions so far, but most subwoofers that would drop in to the factory enclosure are...

I second @jjrandorin that you should get as much as will fit on your roof (that has good exposure), before NEM 3 takes effect on a few months. I’ve had a 10kW system for just over a year, and I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on 3-6 more panels that I can get grandfathered under NEM 2.0. If...

I have the AO wood console cover, which likely uses the same cutting pattern as the vinyl covers. I’m using a different cup holder. The one you show appears to have a lip that would sit on top of the cover. Shouldn’t be any problem, because the cover material is thin, and is cut to fit flush...

I had something similar happen last summer, although for me it was off by an hour and several minutes. Tried rebooting, looking for some setting, even pulling up time.gov on the browser to make sure I wasn’t in a time warp. Nothing helped, except after a couple days it was only about 47 minutes...

Since I’ve had solar on the roof since 2000, I’ve had the same personalization on my 2007 ZENN NEV (Google it), 2014 Leaf, and 2022 MYP; SOLR RUN. It’s been a couple of years since someone looked at the plate, then the car, then asked where the panels are.

I’ve been on 2022.36.20 (FSD) for about a week, and the cameras have been solid , although I did have a couple instances of AP disengaging, but no message about cameras. It seemed to me that on a curvy mountain highway (US 50 to Tahoe) AP did better staying in the center of the lane on curves...

After update to 2022.20.19, I started having intermittent disabling AP and inop side cameras. Sounds like similar problems. Are you on the same version?

In 2010 I bought my first EV, a used 2007 ZENN (Google it). The first owner had personalized plates, which she transferred to me, since we both had PV on our roofs to charge the car. When I bought my Leaf in 2017, I moved the plates to the Leaf. I currently have the 15-year-old plates (standard...

Just push on the turn stalk opposite of the direction you’re turning to turn off the signal. You don’t really need your blinker on while you’re stopped on the turn lane. I think most people know where you want to go. After you answer/hang up, you can turn the signal back on if you wish.

I went two weeks from delivery to my window tint appointment, with 100+ degree days both before and after tint. The MYP is MSM (almost as dark as black) with black interior. I avoided black interiors on all my vehicles for the last 35 years because I hate roasting my thighs on hot seats, but I’m...

A day or two after the 2022.20.6 update, I noticed that the time displayed is 12 minutes and several seconds behind my iPhone. I tried resetting the screen, but it’s still behind. Maybe my full-throttle 0-60 eastbound accelerations caused a time warp? Do I need to do an equal number westbound to...

Hey @Vicj ! Did you do the pink noise test? I’m thinking about doing a speaker upgrade, but I don’t want to get lower efficiency speakers if I’m going to stay with the factory amplifiers. Thanks!

Has anyone seen subwoofers that would fit under the front seats? Seems like an easy way for an “earth” shaking experience. 🙃

What was old is new again!

Before and After Xpel stealth wrap and tint

I’m only a year behind you, and in the three weeks I’ve had the MYP, I’ve walked away a few times, at least several steps, before turning around to grab my phone. In my last car, the phone was in an air vent holder and in my direct view. With the MYP, I switched from Apple Music to Tidal, which...

FWIW, I switched my order from MYLR to MYP so I could get it delivered for this summer. My test drive before ordering was in A MYLR, and it was a firm, but acceptable, ride. I was concerned that the MYP wouldn’t pass the spousal approval test, so I bought a set of Geminis to swap if needed. So...

FWIW, if you’re a MacOS user, back in 2019, @supertvo posted an executable script for partitioning and creating the TeslaCam folder. Used it to erase and repartition a 256 GB WD SSD. Easy peasy! From Supertvo: To contribute back to community, I wrote this tool to help others: mtrung/tesla-usb-drive

Well, I got Pirelli summers on the MYP I picked up Friday, so it’s not all California cars! I live about 20 miles from the snow line, and I don’t think it has snowed in Carlsbad since the Ice Age! Just goes to prove, either Tesla has some 3-D chess-like strategy for tire selection, or it’s...

The matte wrap looks great, @djgarrett21 ! Love the way the blue comes through!

I also had a Leaf, for 5 years, that I bought used with about 10% battery degradation. My plan was to use my ICE Honda for longer trips, but I quickly found that a little planning literally goes a long way! I moved last year from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Sierra foothills, so the colder...

Congrats @Partypete ! I picked up Friday in Rocklin. Had a short delay because FedEx said they couldn’t deliver check from CU because SC was closed! The SA just laughed, because they were doing deliveries since 8 AM! Emailed them a picture of the check, and we were good to go! I still haven’t...

I upgraded in the afternoon, and EDD was updated by next morning (and 10 more times after that, but all’s good now 😁).

@Mack2112 Just picked up my MYP today in Rocklin, CA. Your current vehicle insurance is fine. I uploaded my proof of insurance for a 2000 Accord, and that was fine!

Picked up the MSM MYP this morning in Rocklin. I saw zero problems, hopped in and drove to the tint/PPF shop. I have a July 5 appointment for tint and XPEL Stealth wrap, but I had the owner do his own inspection for anything I may have missed. He gave it a 100% 👍. Gotta say, even without the...

Hang in there! You’ve still in good position for the EOQ blitz. Any location in CA that can get a truck delivery with a day’s drive from Fremont will be very busy for the rest of the month! I had 15 EDDs and they were April to December, in no particular order. Then, BAM, I got a VIN. I sold my...

On my original MYLR order on 2/1/22 I had an August EDD with 20", then switched to 19" and instantly changed EDD to December. Within a week EDD had changed to June-July, then back out to Sept-Nov. Who knows what the subsequent EDDs would have been staying with 20" wheels? From what I've seen...
