    6/23/23 - Irvine Spectrum Door Ding

    That's a grey Model 3 with 18s and no aero caps. Hope that helps. Hope you find this person and put them in door ding jail

    New 2023 Model Y owner

    I have the high pitched noise at low speeds. Once I get past 30 MPH it either gets drown out from road noise or goes away, not really sure. Haven't been too bothered by it and have seen other owners have the same noise. I do remember a high pitched whine from the electric motors being an issue...

    2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N

    I really dig it. Looks much better than the EV6 GT. They made quite significant changes from the regular I5 to make it feel special. Performance stats look pretty decent and not terribly priced. I was considering the regular I5 but after seeing some early model year teething issues and lack of...

    2023 LR and Y have the exact same suspension?

    From a post prior I recall people said it's not the same part but ride in the MYP is much improved with the new revised suspension. I drove a 2021 MYP and my 2023 MYLR and found my car to be substantially softer and more comfortable. Changing out the springs can easily achieve the lower ride...

    High pitch squeal below 15 mph

    I have the same sound since day one and still have it at 8k miles now. I assume it's normal since car drives perfectly fine otherwise

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    I’m just talking about the 0-30 from a dig. Instantaneous torque from EVs will defeat anything in that first 0-30. After that it’s a different story

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    I think people like the 21s on the MYP. If you want people to know you have an MYP that’s a tell tale sign. The 19s will hide those big red calipers if you leave the aero covers on haha. Obviously if you’re really chasing for maximum range and efficiency you can probably find a good amount of...

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    I believe most EVs can destroy any ICE car from a dig at the light from 0-30 MPH. A Chevy Bolt can probably achieve those results too but I would take a performance ICE car any day over any EV for driving pleasure. The lack of sound and the theatrics that come along with all the downshift blips...

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    So has there been conclusive evidence that the MYP's range being less than the MYLR is simply due to bigger wheels and stickier tires? I ordered the MYLR just for the sake of those extra 30 miles of range, if we ever needed it. After actually using the car, the range doesn't seem to really be a...

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    That's good info! I will be sure to take that into consideration when we buy again. I also agree with the pedal response. The MYP was much more responsive. I felt the MYLR pedal is heavier and makes it harder to depress. Not sure if that's just a change they did for newer cars

    Anyone Using These Gemini Aero Discs?

    Hahaha!!! Love it!!!! You’re about to get a whole bunch of looks coming your way. The few days it’s been on I notice people staring at it BIG TIME. I didn’t think people would notice since I have black ones but they sure still do stand out

    Anyone Using These Gemini Aero Discs?

    I really wanted white but wife said no lol. It’s her car so I can’t argue too much. Her agreeing to get these covers at all was a huge win. Feels no different at all driving. I’m curious about range. Will report back after a few days. My wife has the same commute everyday so we should be able to...

    $150 including shipping. Covers itself was $60 and shipping was $90 LOL. But still cheaper than other ones I found. Took just under 25 days to arrive from shipment date. Here’s the link to the one I bought https://m.aliexpress.us/item/3256805068363547.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US

    Anyone Using These Gemini Aero Discs?

    Got the wheel caps installed today. Here’s what they look like. Has a slight poke and protrudes out further than the tires. Makes it seem like there’s more of an aggressive offset which I like. Overall I think it looks great.

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    I agree with you. Jokes and all too. In my experience, stiffer cars do start to generate more rattles over time but in most cases you notice them right away when new. I have to believe they improved the assembly or parts used over the years. It's similar to German cars. Facelifted models just...

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    Oh I wasn't complaining about getting a loaner at all. I even praised the SC that I went to. I was simply sharing my thoughts about the MYP vs MYLR. I can only share what I've experienced and this particular loaner MYP wasn't in the best condition. Also this SC was going to offer me $100 in Uber...

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    Good to know! Saved me a few bucks from having to tint or buy a shade for the sunroof. Wifey was complaining it felt really hot in the loaner MYP and I swore our MYLR didn't attract that much heat in the cabin

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    Carmakers nowadays are all trying so hard to create one car solutions for everything. When you do that you are then left with a car that’s really good at many things but don’t excel in either. I had always been someone that will keep at least 2 cars but buy the most extreme cars on both ends of...

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    I don’t doubt it. But even an Enterprise rental Nissan Rogue with 70k miles I recently was in didn’t feel nearly as bad. I’ve been a German car buyer almost exclusively and they do start to break down over time and generate creaks and rattles. I just hope the MYLR holds up better

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    The MYP is a totally livable daily driver. The ride is stiff only relative to the MYLR. The ride when comparing to actually stiff supercars is nowhere near as stiff. Glad you love it, it’s a great all rounder. Incredible performance for value

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    Yes I agree a lot of what I’ve experienced is due to an early model car. So I’m glad to see that they have improved over the years. That’s interesting if the suspension hardware is actually the same just lowered. In theory if you have lower suspension It reduces travel and hits the bump stops...

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    I think it’s great that they do offer the acceleration boost so you can get more. For the price though you probably would have been better getting the MYP. Just my opinion. Very happy with the acceleration already given it’s size and weight

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    Yes you are absolutely correct. However, I can only share what I’ve experienced. Also goes to show that perhaps they improved the quality of the cars over the years. I didn’t expect a loaner to be in pristine condition whatsoever but the driving dynamics and differences I feel I believe is still...

    Tesla SC and MYLR vs MYP Impressions

    A little background for context, we have a new MYLR W/W/19 that we picked up 3 weeks ago. Dropped off the car this morning, surprised they were open on Sundays let alone on Easter, to have them fix a handful of issues found during delivery day. This was the SC on Kearny Mesa in San Diego. No...

    Window Tint Question

    I’ve used Xpel tint on most my cars with no issues. I would not recommend 3M crystalline because it has a brown hue that will look off compared to the factory privacy glass. I install Xpel 20% on the front sides and they match the color of the rear privacy glass perfectly. Can’t speak about...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    We picked up the car 2 weeks ago. Now we have just under 1100 miles on the car. The first few days I felt this pressure in my head/ears right after getting in the car. I tried a couple of things people have said here to see if I can pinpoint what is causing this sensation and the stereo seemed...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    For me I’ve felt this weird pressure right after getting in the car prior to driving and I feel this buzz when sitting in the car while supercharging. Not sure if they’re all related. Not terrible but definitely irritating

    Ok guys. Picked up our MYLR white/white/19 today around noon at the Carlsbad location in San Diego. OD 1/14 and is an Austin build. Didn’t bother to ask SA when was exact build date but sticker on the door said 03/23 so I assume it’s probably not a reject. There were 9 miles on the odo. No...

    Update on the diagnosis. SA said one of the HV battery packs was not plugged in. Car is fixed now and everything is good to go. Does this happen often out of the factory?🤔 🤔 This will be my wife’s car and if the car dies while she’s driving I don’t think she’s ever gonna drive again 😂😂

    Welp. Was supposed to take delivery today. Just got a call saying car has charging issues and needs to be diagnosed. Will get a call tomorrow for the results. Not off to a great start. At least they found it before we took delivery and had to deal with it after the fact. What can you do…. 😭☹️😩

    Payment question: Will Tesla accept a cashiers check from my name for the down payment even though the car will be registered solely under my wife's name? The loan is also through Tesla and will be under my wife's name solely as well.

    I worry not. Being in SoCal everyone has limo tint. I’ve had 20% tint or darker since I started driving and never gotten pulled over for it. Now that I say it I’ll probably get pulled over tomorrow 🤣😭
