    Stopped Roof Rack Noise & Whistle

    Almost a year later and still going strong. Adhesive is still good. I've seen people have good experiences in other Tesla groups too. The NXTGEN Aerogrips are the way to go if you have the annoying whistle!! The rhino ones are made to insert into their bars. You can use them on others but it...

    Stopped Roof Rack Noise & Whistle

    Yep! I was looking for a solution on google and a video about that on youtube was the first thing I saw. It looks REALLY tacky though and it creates extra wind noise and drag. Stops the whistle 100% though, but this is much cleaner solution.The car the guy does it on is like an old beach beater...

    Stopped Roof Rack Noise & Whistle

    Sorry have not been on here in a while. The bars I have do not have the key like that. But it's not just a simple Allen key nut to get them off so I'm not concerned about heft. They have PDF instructions on the website!

    Do you have the Tesla bars or aftermarket like mine? Let us know if they work for you! Happy with mine so far!!

    Stopped Roof Rack Noise & Whistle

    Not hard to remove, just slightly heat and peel off. In all honesty that negative review is user error after reading it. They list the strip as too narrow to cover the gap for the strip in their bar, but that is not the intent of it. Where most of these have the rubber tracks to slide into a...

    Extended View Blind Spot Mirrors For Model 3 (wide-angle mirror alternative)

    The nice thing about this product is that they are real glass and impressively clear. The generic versions show the blind spot area, but they are often plastic and very far away looking. Since these are custom deigned for our cars, they need to go on the top corner. But it does not take away...

    Extended View Blind Spot Mirrors For Model 3 (wide-angle mirror alternative)

    I was really excited when the update came out several months ago with the blind spot camera function. After using it a bit, that excitement turned to disappointment though. I figured I'd try and get used to it for a while, but I'm just not a huge fan of the location and looking so far away from...

    Stopped Roof Rack Noise & Whistle

    That's cool but they are $500 vs 249 for a piece of grooved rubber and out of stock a lot these days. Options are good 👍

    Stopped Roof Rack Noise & Whistle

    For reference, Thule arguably makes the best bars and the most accessories. If you look at their bars, which I had on my last SUV, the rubber is much more pronounced and sticks up a good amount. The Tesla ones are very recessed and so are the replicas. The only differences between the Tesla ones...

    Stopped Roof Rack Noise & Whistle

    Not at all, it will actually help some fit more secure and if not and you keep some attachments always on you can cut the strips as needed when placing. See the company photo, it's a nice addition and I'm personally glad to have this setup vs the regular Tesla bars.

    DIY: Model Y Painted Calipers

    This is 100% on my radar! Anyone have any issues clearing the same day as the color? I see VHT recommends waiting several days, but that would be a royal pain!

    Model Y Roof Rack Whistling Sound

    Tried to post something about this earlier but the awesome admins rejected it, so I'll post here! Hopefully they allow it, because it was frustrating and took a bit to figure out! I too put on a set of bars and had a really annoying whistling noise, ad found a nice solution. Mine were not the...

    Absolutely TORN between on my vehicle wrap color: Avery gloss rock grey or gloss dark grey wrap?

    Not wraps, but similar Audi paint Nardo left and Quantum right.

    Absolutely TORN between on my vehicle wrap color: Avery gloss rock grey or gloss dark grey wrap?

    The gloss rock is going to be closer to Nardo and the gloss dark will be closer to Audi Quantum grey. The darker likely being a bit more green based. Both are nice, just personal preference.

    Stopped Roof Rack Noise & Whistle

    Did some searching around before buying the roof bars and just did not want to spend $500 on the Tesla bars. I found a few that looked exactly the same and had good reviews about fitment so I took a shot on a pair from eBay that were just under $200 bucks. True to the reviews, they fit well and...

    Continued paint issues [watermarks etc]

    Wanted to add another for future reference to the thread. I always had black cars before the Tesla's and decided to take break hearing about possible paint quality issues. But once my wife took our black car to visit her sister and parked next to their house for a week, and the sprinklers in the...

    Paint swirls and scratched

    I find this works really well and as said you can wax or sealant over it. Unlike regular glazes, this has some synthetics and carnauba, so on it's own it does have some beading and staying power. I've had good luck on darker cars with this by machine or by hand as needed. Street cars will always...

    Air conditioned seats

    This is one of the biggest things I miss in our Tesla's other than a HUD. I thought both were silly until I had them, and then did not. Would be a great addition.
