    Recommended cleaning products (Australia based) for Model Y

    I agree. 100%. However still buy a cheap one. Certain things go premium. Other things, no need. But all good. Matters not. Clean car is a great car.

    Recommended cleaning products (Australia based) for Model Y

    Can't really fault most of the comments. If you want to go down rabbit hole, look up ammo NYC, or car craft autodetailing on YouTube. Bowden's is great. Snow foam cannons can be useful if used correctly. But it's all about technique. Get as much dirt off the car without touching it. When...

    Model Y Aero Covers

    I was going to do that. However, the tyres on the model y are not "fat" or wide enough. This means i scratch the wheels even when ultra careful. So i just put a larger OEM looking one from tessories that covers the whole rim

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    The recall software update is very irritating in low light or at night. It can't see my face because it's dark and it keeps thinking I'm not facing the road. I now have covered the internal camera as it makes long distance driving almost impossible in low light

    I can vouch for the site as well. They work. I did originally get a faulty batch that wriggled too much and was loose. They replaced it. It's not perfect and needs some wriggling to get it to click but not too bad.

    Has anyone found a suitable spare tyre kit or combo that works for a model y? I don't particularly want to buy a $1000 kit. I have a pump and repair and road side, but it's more piece of mind on long trips. I have read elsewhere that a Nissan Qashqai space saver works but it's hard to find...

    Wakeup issue May be fixed. Funny enough, I tried this morning, at 6am and I thought it didn't work. So I was on this forum reading. Than checked the app and boom! It woke up. Currently defrosting the car. Either that or there is no congestion this early!
