    Teslasy 9.6 inch display

    I don't think they are the same. There was 2 UIs (one is the old one--the one linked; and there's a new one called the T15, which has a higher reoslution screen).

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    That is so nice! What finger gap do you have on this one? When I get my coilovers installed, I was thinking about a 2.5 finger gap, but this just looks so good. I also live in southern California.

    HRE Wheel Sizing

    When I reached out to HRE around the holidays (they had a deal on the rotary forged wheels), they told me that they only had them in 21 inch sizing, as well. However, the custom non-rotary forged--the actual fully forged wheels--could be custom made for them. But the price scared me away, so I...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Those look awesome--I agree! I was trying to find the wheel information, too, and saw it on the post's signature column. Now I am interested in those!

    26-pin connector...this is going to sound dumb, but is this it?

    100%. Thanks for the information.

    26-pin connector...this is going to sound dumb, but is this it?

    Nope. I'm claiming ignorance on my part. I just wanted to double check because of my inexperience on my part with modifying a Tesla.

    26-pin connector...this is going to sound dumb, but is this it?

    That's what I thought...but I just wanted to be sure that this connector is the one I should be counting.

    26-pin connector...this is going to sound dumb, but is this it?

    I am looking at getting one of those dashboard clusters and it's calling out the 26 pin connector. I was told the ODBC port under the rear vent should be where the connector is. This is a brand new 2023 Long Range built out of Fremont.

    Matte black, debadged, and chrome delete...with wheels.

    That does make me a little hesitant. For some reason, I feel that our Model S has brighter headlights than the X already. I'd hate to take away precious lumens.

    Matte black, debadged, and chrome delete...with wheels.

    Thanks! I was thinking about tinting the lights with one of those but I didn't need to be bringing more attention to my car. I drive by a CHP location on my commute and already get the stares because I don't have a front plate. ;)

    Matte black, debadged, and chrome delete...with wheels.

    I was doing a video for some drone lighting, and I used my vehicle. I've got one for the front...but that'll take a while to process because of all the composites.

    Show off your aftermarket Model X wheels...

    Thanks! Yours is so sick! I like that the matte black wheels you have don't get lost in the dark. Spencer Pablo 17111424-600mm F2.4-4.0DSC-RX10M4394-7 by SPtheALIEN posted Nov 14, 2017 at 9:31 PM

    My thoughts on newly upgraded 22" Pirelli upgrade from Conti 20's.

    Do you mean forged arachnids (as opposed to the turbines). I believe the turbines are cast. The arachnids are forged. After changing my 20" wheels to 22" forged wheels (not arachnids), I have found that my range has remain unchanged.

    Of the wheels or the car? As of right now, all my photos are here.

    Matte black, debadged, and chrome delete...with wheels.

    We went with XPEL Stealth (the matte version of the ultimate). Because of the matte, we also went satin on the de-chrome.

    Supercharger - Lake Elsinore, CA (LIVE 28 Feb 2018, 20 stalls)

    If you exit on Nichols Road, you essentially drive the entirety of the mall before you get to the super charger location.

    Thanks Caleb for posting. When I took that picture, it's at the South end of the parking lot.

    PlastiDip on my wheels

    Well, shortly after doing this video, I was rear-ended. So my car sat in a repair location, outside, in a very dusty environment in the sun. I just got the car back last week and it still looks good--of course, the car was detailed before I got the car back.

    FS: 22" Turbine w/ pirelli scorpion tires

    DAMN! I was literally just in your neck of the woods. I might have jumped.

    PlastiDip on my wheels

    Yeah--I think if I let the car sit there for a while, the junk mail would have easily come out with no threat to the paint. However, hindsight is 20-20, and I parked my car with half of it inside my garage, and the other half outside (to better ventilate and let light come in, while still having...

    Good to know. Looks like you've got an excellent deal going on!

    PlastiDip on my wheels

    It seems okay for my application just leaving it on.

    PlastiDip on my wheels

    Didn't do anything other than tape the tires. Straight from Tesla to my garage to getting painted.

    PlastiDip on my wheels

    I'll look into that. I just picked up everything from Home Depot.

    PlastiDip on my wheels

    No need to tape? That's awesome. I'll refrain from taping next time. How are you finding the condition of the job by month 6? Some reviews I've read said they look good after a year, still.

    PlastiDip on my wheels

    I have to admit--I was skeptical at first about how it looks. But at $6 per can at Home Depot, I decided to give it a shot. Here's how it looks like after four coats. So far, so good. We used duct tape to contain the spray and keep it off the tires. I wanted to use painter's tape on the wheels...

    Model X Delivery Checklist

    Based off @VABarb I created a new checklist that reflects some HVAC and seat cooling/warming things. I hope this link works. 2017 March Model X Delivery Checklist If there are modifications that you think I should add, let me know.

    TAG Motorsports are what I would use if I go with HRE down in San Diego.

    Model X on 21" Wheels? Has anyone tried this yet? (OEM or Aftermarket)

    Oh man--looks like the roads near my house! Some of the roads near the beach actually have potholes that a bag of cement can lay flush inside.

    Model X March 2017 Deliveries

    SWEET! Finally a change to my X page! It still says it's in production, but I have a delivery date change from late January to March 3-17!

    Wow...if LA streets are like glass compared to Ohio, I am imagining your streets are only drivable by Ford Raptors!

    Model X March 2017 Deliveries

    That is exactly what my status says--late Jan - Feb. I haven't heard anything yet, but now I'm thinking I won't be getting it until mid-March. The anxiety is real! Haha.

    Changing wheels to allow for all around tire rotation

    Thanks for the link to the tire width chart. I might just get new 22x10 rims as it appears I can still run staggered if need be, or run 265s all around and run square.
  41. SPtheALIEN

    Changing wheels to allow for all around tire rotation

    Thanks guys! There's a bunch of new information here. I will definitely send a message over to the service center to be sure.
  42. SPtheALIEN

    Changing wheels to allow for all around tire rotation

    Also, I did mention that the winter setup is all 265.
  43. SPtheALIEN

    Changing wheels to allow for all around tire rotation

    Yes. They were mistaken. Hence why I showed them that I confirmed it was still staggered. But they didn't see a problem going square.
  44. SPtheALIEN

    Model X on 21" Wheels? Has anyone tried this yet? (OEM or Aftermarket)

    Sweet! I'll be following this. I am going to be likely moving to 21" wheels, but a square setup so I could rotate my rites.
  45. SPtheALIEN

    Changing wheels to allow for all around tire rotation

    So an interesting thing happened at the Tesla San Diego (Fashion Valley) location yesterday. I was chatting with the folks there and they all thought the Model X went into a square setup for the 20" wheel recently. When we confirmed that the AP2 still has the staggered 20" wheel setup, they...

    Model X March 2017 Deliveries

    Wow! We confirmed the first week of December (ordering during Black Friday weekend) - VIN 351XX and we still have ours listed as "Estimated Delivery Range: Late January - February" So... Also, my PowerWalls also says that it's slated for a January 2017 installation and I have heard nothing on...

    Sharing a good blind spot mirror

    Thanks for sharing this. The reason blind spots are an issue for me, despite mirror adjustments, are due to the fact that I end up moving and changing posture throughout my drive.

    Changing wheels to allow for all around tire rotation

    Thanks! I'm wondering if you can use spacers to compensate.
