    Any experiences with touch up paint other than factory?

    Are there any experiences with non-factory touch up paint, such as those from Paint Scratch, Touch up direct, various pens etc.? How well do they match? MSM specific feedback would be great. Thanks!

    Route planners with waypoints and battery level thresholds?

    For a day trip, I may have a few stops, then eventually return home. I am looking for a route planner that supports multiple waypoints and battery level calculations at destination. In this example, at the end of the trip and the destination is home. In other words, I would like to be able to...

    New owner and new FSD Beta user guide, tips, and wisdom

    I got FSDb for the first time yesterday. After a drive and watching it like a hawk, I learned a few things that caused me to search for more information on FSDb, but I did not find any comprehensive lists or videos in one place, so I will start one. This post includes the little I know and...

    Cup holder insert for larger bottles and cups?

    Aside from taking up some room by their own thickness, most of the silicone cup holder inserts have bumps that are designed to hold smaller bottles and 12 oz. cans. While a naked M3/MY cup holder can accommodate larger bottles, I still would like to use something that lines the cup holders for...

    Multiple seat position memories for one driver?

    Many cars have seat memories, like slot 1, 2, 3, and some are tied to a fob. I know Teslas associate seat positions with a key/fob/phone, but are there provisions for multiple positions? For example, a driving position, a laptop position, a watch movie while waiting to charge position. Thanks.

    For you who use a single drive for dashcam/Sentry and music, how fast does the music partition mount?

    With a two-flash setup--one for dashcam/Sentry and one for music, I've read enough to know that once the car goes to sleep, the default music source does not return to USB because it takes time for the USB to mount. If Sentry is on, then it's not a problem because the USB ports remain powered...

    What is the latest spec for partitioning multi-use SSD?

    My research resulted in conflicting information so I would like to get clarifications. 1) For dashcam and Sentry, many older posts say that FAT32 is required. I've also read recent posts, including Tesla's default format to be exFAT. Does this mean that FAT32 is no longer required for dashcam...

    Sentry/dashcam and music on the same flash, any performance or latency issue?

    The concern is latency issues for dashcam recording in real-time while the flash has to serve up music, so there is going to be continuous and simultaneous read and writes. Obviously, I would not want any sort of missed frames on the dashcam. Sentry mode should be a non-issue because I would...

    2 USB questions--flash drive mounting time and center console data cable

    I noticed that the 256GB flash drive (Samsung, USB 3, exFAT, 30GB full) with music connected via a hub in the glove box takes a long time to mount each time the car starts up. The USB source is not immediately available. Is this normal? Also, model year 2023 (Austin-built) has the mini-USB...

    Requesting advice on removing road acquired spots off of ceramic/PPF

    I have PPF and fresh but fully cured Adam's Advanced Graphene coating. After a drive today, I noticed that there were about a dozen spots in front of the car. They do not look like tar. They could be bird dropping but I am not sure. Based on their roundish shape, they were in liquid form when...

    Anything wire under the hood that shows 12V when in drive/reverse and not park?

    Related to this thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/my-on-off-switchable-pws-mod-for-off-road-use-only.294703/ I realized that I could use a relay to auto switch PWS to off when in drive or reverse, and allow the speaker/PA to work while parked. Does anyone know of a wire under...

    Car wash complications (cash wash mode, key fob, charging port, etc.)

    It looks like one must leave the keycard so the attendant can move the car. Remote start is not viable because the attendant will need to park between the vacuum station and wash station. If there is a solution I don't know about, please do share. Car Wash Mode rolls up the windows, locks the...

    My on/off switchable PWS mod "for off-road use only"

    I'm cross-posting a thread from the MY forum. It's for my MY, but the steps are the same for M3, with maybe the exception of the frunk button location. The post is below: I'm not here to debate the good, bad, should, or shouldn't of PWS disabling. This is for off-road use only, at your own...

    My on/off switchable PWS mod "for off-road use only"

    I'm not here to debate the good, bad, should, or shouldn't of PWS disabling. This is for off-road use only, at your own risk. I am not encouraging, suggesting, nor condoning this mod. I am simply sharing a technical solution for those who wish to, under specific circumstances, disable the PWS...

    New MY shipped with low battery coolant?

    New MY, the coolant level can be seen just at the lower edge of the reservoir, below the normal line. I do not see any leaks nor smell any coolant. Time will tell if the level drops. Question is if this is the typical "within tolerance" sort of thing?

    Battery drain when hood left open?

    I am working on a couple projects under the hood, so I've left the hood open for a couple of days. I noticed that there is a sound of something whirling even when I haven't touched the car for a while--that is, something is always whirling. Also observed is the faster battery drain. I've read...

    Do Aftermarket Power frunks increase idle drain?

    For those who have installed the Hansshow or EVOffer, did you see *any* increase in idle drain because the control module is connected directly to the battery? Thanks.

    EVOffer & Hansshow auto frunk - do they report status properly? And reliability?

    I read a few threads in this forum and on Amazon reports about their reliability. It seems to be hit and miss. People seem to like EVOffer's system better. What are the reliability experiences with the two options? Also, do the latest offerings of either kit allow the proper reporting of the...

    "headlamp_type:Premium"?

    For a MYLR, 2023 model year, late 2022 production out of Austin (with reflector headlights, no matrix lottery like those out of Fremont)--when looking at the firmware data using Tessie, it shows headlamp type as "Premium". Does anyone know what this means? I know Tesla shipped some MYLRs out...

    Telemetry and tracking apps, which do you like?

    TeslaFi seems to have a lot of good data and graphs, but no mobile app. Tessie seems to be updated frequently, has mobile apps and assistant integration, but not sure about the quality of data analysis (when compared to TeslaFi). Then there is TezLab and Stats, and others. Which to you like and...

    Quick or easy ways to remove a J1772 connector (with adapter)?

    When using a J1772 connector and a Tesla adapter, after the charging is complete and even with doors unlocked, one still must use the mobile app to unlock the charge port in order to remove the J1772 and adapter as a single unit. Yes, one can unplug the J1772 away from the adapter, but that...

    Is MY's AC normally noisy? What about cooling capacity?

    Of course, without any fan noise and when the car is parked, the Y is nearly silent. With the AC on Auto (maintaining temperature, not in an extremely hot or cold car), the fan/airflow is loud to my ears. Having owned many cars, this one is probably the loudest. With the narrow slits, perhaps...

    Phone key, Android vs iOS devices shown in BT

    With an iPhone paired as a key, I can see a couple devices with random strings in BT that shows "connected". I understand this to be the BT name for the door modules. With an Android (A13), I see no Bluetooth device in the list related to Tesla, yet the key works. I've not paired the...

    Any Fremont Ys with cargo cover/package shelf yet?

    $6K EAP to FSD pricing, options, resale, and prognostications?

    Before the return of EAP to the U.S., FSD was $12K to buy with the car, $12K to buy after delivery, or $200/month after delivery. If one had EAP from before, FSD can be had for $100/month. Now that EAP has returned for $6K-- 1) Can it be subscribed for $100/month? (I don't see it on Tesla's...

    Any mud flaps effectiveness or efficiency tests?

    I've read many threads on the flaps and I am aware that the MY's rocker areas get a beating from the front tires kicking up road debris. PPF in the area helps and there is no doubt that giant, low and out protruding mud flaps would substantially migite the damage. At the same time, the flaps...

    MYP and MYLR suspension, ground clearance differences?

    I read several threads regarding the suspension and ground clearance differences between the P and LR, even fender measurements, but none directly answered my questions. Tesla's order page shows that the P has "lowered suspension" and obviously 21" wheels/tires when compared to the LR with its...
