    Tesla insurance safety score

    Forward collision warning is trash for me in the following scenario: Two lane neighborhood roads with street parking on a long curve or incline. Speed and pedal position doesn't matter. Everytime there's a car parked roadside... *alarm-FCW*. And this in on a street thats WIDE. Today, I was...

    HomeLink DIY install

    @greenmonk The one I got a few months ago looked new with bracket and hardware. The price from the seller current listing is $169 right now. I DM'd you. If you spend the next couple of days refreshing and searching you'll find one for $150 for sure. Or you could shoot for a used one for...

    HomeLink DIY install

    The only feature MyQ provides is the door open/close status. A $20 generic wifi garage door controller from Amazon can do that for $0 per year. I'm happy with a $150 ebay Homelink to control the door in my Tesla then using the $20 door controller for the status, if I really need to know.

    Window Tint Question

    HaHaHa! Never had tint "break" and need a warranty repair in 20+ years of owning cars. You can make the sales speech to someone else. That same "some guy" is the guy doing a shop's installs and warranty work.

    Window Tint Question

    I'm in NoVA and tint shops around here can fk'off. You can find good tint on ebay where I got 2 rolls of LLUMAR F1 Pinnacle nano ceramic for $40 each. I had a guy from Craigslist do it for $75 per window. Took him 2 hours and was flawless. 5% front and 50% rear His day job? Installing the...

    So how much did it cost and how long did it take?

    Skid plate justification

    I went with a generic 1/8" thick plate off of ebay for around $200. Everything else was sold out or had super long delivery times. The quality seems acceptable and fitment was just fine. So far, so good!

    Skid plate justification

    Last week I finally picked up a couple of rhino ramps, and got around to putting on my aluminum skid plate. I knew the one that comes built-in on the car wasn't much—but damn! It's like the top on a plastic storage tub! No fkn way it would protect anything under there. It's purely for airflow...

    Skid plate justification

    I agree with Android04. Reuse the plate as long as it isn't wildly deformed. Check the spots where it attaches for cracks or deformity. If there are none, I'd hit the scratched areas with some Herculiner spray and put it back on.

    Going crazy about Performance brakes? [Tesla using caliper covers on rear brakes of Y performance after supplier switch]

    Same here. I'll keep my eyes peeled on Ebay for a set of rear Brembos. And, if the timing/mood is right, I'll pick them up and get them installed at some point.

    Tesla and MyQ

    You spend the $60k+ because you think you're getting something for your money. The subscription is a crap value proposition for the customer. Not only that, the value will only decrease when they increase prices in a few years. I'd rather give that money to a charity or foundation before giving...

    Tesla and MyQ

    $45 a year. They can pound sand. I have a short list of things I'll pay a subscription for. This isn't one of 'em.

    Going crazy about Performance brakes? [Tesla using caliper covers on rear brakes of Y performance after supplier switch]

    Another easier way is to take your index finger and feel the back inner side of the caliper facing you. If your finger curls around the back into a cavity... you've got a cover.

    Going crazy about Performance brakes? [Tesla using caliper covers on rear brakes of Y performance after supplier switch]

    After looking around— Tesla no longer puts Brembo brakes on the MYP, and uses a brake manufacturer named Mando. The caliper is no longer a big solid block, but instead a main caliper with a cosmetic cover on top. I'm still processing how I feel about this, I'm a little disappointed. In a way...

    Going crazy about Performance brakes? [Tesla using caliper covers on rear brakes of Y performance after supplier switch]

    I'm scheduled for a Monday appointment. I just looked to make sure. Without taking the wheel off it's hard to get a picture of, but sure as schidt, my brakes look like regular calipers painted red with a red cover on top them. It's definitely not a solid block.

    Going crazy about Performance brakes? [Tesla using caliper covers on rear brakes of Y performance after supplier switch]

    I just looked at my MYP that was built in late October 2022 and I have covers on my rear brakes. Can someone post a picture of how the rear brakes on a MYP should look? If my back brakes aren't the performance brakes... I'm gonna be a little pissed.

    Odd question about the rumbling sound... did it feel and sound like when caked mud flings off of a tire at low speed?

    The Safety Score system needs some serious work

    I have a portion of my commute where, in order to enter the express lane, I take a huge sweeping climbing single lane curve. You have to accelerate from 55 to 65 to prepare to enter faster traffic. The lane combines with traffic coming from the opposite direction at the apex of the turn. The...

    Has anyone called to pickup their car early? My car is scheduled for pickup Thursday, but I'd like to just squeeze in and get it asap. Not having a car is actually making me delay a client's project this week.

    Skid plate justification

    There are 1/8" thick aluminum front plates on ebay for under $200. I've been thinking of getting a Tesla for years and in our household my vehicle tends to be the roadtripper. Just seems like the thing that can make a difference when you least expect it.

    Model Y has anyone received 2023 VIN yet?

    I ordered a MYP over the summer and got cold feet when I received the delivery center text. I cancelled because I had never even driven a Tesla before. So, I can confirm sometimes people cancel deep in the process. Months later, when vehicles were available to be test driven, I took one out...
