Unless you weren't the first owner of the car, then chances are you lucked out on one they put them on. While I haven't heard of many saying this, you aren't the only one, so apparently it's a thing on some cars. I didn't have rear ppf or mud flaps on mine. It isn't like Tesla to throw in extras...

I would personally be a little concerned at 4%,. Teslas are known to hold out down to the very end though.

Chemical guys has this. Probably a similar product. Using with polisher.

No sense in me pushing this I guess. No pay no play. 😓 Spotify is tempting to buy because I like the accessibility of the app and the fidelity. I could use it at home too as long as I didn't do what I described in that other post again. Funny thing is I had no clue it was going to all of my...

I am a fairly technical sort of guy working in a technical field, so I don't generally have the kinds of issues with software I am having with the apps in my Model Y. Who knows? maybe I'm just getting old and can't admit I'm loosing my edge. I can't seem to get signed on to and use several of...

In Model Y, mud flaps are plastic mounted to non metal sufaces using push pins. They should be rinsed periodically.

I didn't have mud flaps on my MYLR. Front mud flaps protect the most, but the rear ones help too. My car only has the standard plastic lower panel. I haven't seen any PPF. Apparently some of the cars ship with the flaps and PPF. Low priced easy to install item. I figure if it saves a few rock...

FWIW, mud flaps go a long way towards preventing side panel chips.

Thanks for this. When I took delivery of my MYLR in white., yeah, I know there aren't many of us around :) I decided initially to ceramic coat the car for protection. I use the Y as a daily driver. Another factor in all of this is the last car I purchased, not a Tesla, was coming off of...

If I might interject- We have a few members here from outside of North America. I believe I have heard there are different configurations of the Y elsewhere. In China I heard ( maybe falsely) there are Model Ys with only RWD using LFP battery packs. If they are exporting a few of these cars to...

I believe 4680 is seen as the way Tesla will eventually become less dependent on outside battery sources. Initial results certainly are not bad, but likely are under expectations, enter the two different formulations. If they can't increase the power/density ratio they can still add more...

Yeah I made this determination and still decided to buy the car. Vision is just a little quiky, but I live with it. Redundancy of multiple systems would have been the best IMO, but it is what it is.

Thus far, I see 4680 going into cars with less range. I really hope you are right about these batteries showing up in cars with longer ranges.

Same here. People also say Tesla paint isn't as good as others. This is not true either. Several have used a paint thickness gauges to determine it's put on just as thick and in come cases thicker than several OEMs.

I'm really hoping it's some kind of a reset issue or my phone. I have yet to do a hard system reset. I plan to give that a try. Then maybe I'll see if my wife's phone is having the same issues. I was attempting to connect CarLinkit which may or may not have created or contributed to the issue...

Thought I would revive this older thread rather than start a new one since it seems relevant to my bluetooth issue. I have only had my 2023 Austin built MYLR for a few weeks. Something isn't working correctly in bluetooth. The service manual covers connection for Apple phones. I feel somewhat...

I have radar on my ICE 2nd car. It does an amazing job at 'seeing' objects in rain storms where cameras are blind. At some point both system become unusable if weather or road mess covers it, however USS seldom gets covered since they are verticle on bumpers. If you're mud bogging maybe...

Due to the obvious limitations of the present system this is what is needed. My distance perception is pretty good, but why there isn't a camera on the front is beyond me. In one instance a small child was in front of the car and the car was completely blind. The exisitng system does its best to...

The first Eqinox EVs offered will have the higher trims and will no way be near 30K. At best I'm guessing high 40s. SR lower cost models will be offered later in 2024. These cars will appeal to those who don't like the Tesla minimalist approach and desire more tactile control along with a more...

As a side note specifically addressing the characteristics of LFP packs you mistakenly attributed to the 4680 pack. LFP batteries are said to be capable of more charging cycles, batteries are generally heavier and have a different discharge curve. The main reason Tesla says you can routinely...

1.) Only my rocket scientist cousin over in Pasadena. At the time I was VERY skeptical of the cars. Mainly because of all the FUD out there. I was under the impression it's mostly something people on the west coast buy. 2.) Never was in one prior to the test drives.. 3.) Yes we made an...

Very similar reasons here for why I eventually bought an MYLR. Most families can make use of at least two cars, even if it's because one is in the shop. With most of my errands not further than 20 miles from where I live aside from my daily commute, a car like the Bolt would fit well as that...

Seems odd to me that a car line still being sold until the end of 2023 is referred to as old tech. Must make new owners cringe. The only thing 'old' in terms of the tech might be that it has a different battery pack and slower charging. Still lithium ion, but not "Ultium" although it's not a...

I was looking for my 1st EV. I didn't begin looking at Teslas. Then I asked myself, am I going to buy based on only price or am I going to buy the best EV, in my opinion, and be willing pay more for it than another EV without the charging support and range numbers this car has? I'm not wealthy...

Congrats on getting the car! Mine was an Ausin build too. Does the underside of your frunk lid have a gasket that helps to seal the frunk? I noticed other builds were missing this gasket and have octagonal shapes as part of the metal work underneath. My frunk hood has the gasket and looks to...

Still works great at 48 amps L2. Only issue is J1772 is needed for this charger. Not really a big deal.

This wouldn't be the first biased media prop I've read. We get it here too. Mostly from states that rely on the fuel industry for their taxes.

First itinerations of new 1st year cars often have issues. While I doubt the updated Teslas will have anything but maybe minor issues, the possibility exists with any new build that some things could even be WORSE than the older Ys. It tried and proven .vs a new thing. Initial pricing on the new...

Yeah tell em' Pffffffffffft! :)

Ride in MY performance is slightly stiffer by most accounts. I just took home a 2023 MYLR from the Austin factory.. The ride isn't comparible to world class luxury sedans where you barely ever feel a bump or even know one exists, but the I would be comparing the ride to a much lighter ICE luxury...

If you had told me I would save 3K if I could wait another two or three weeks I would have been more than ok with that.If I had a crystal ball that worked, I would have probably popped for the Performance verion at 1K more than I paid. That extra 4K hike at the time combined with the slightly...

Yes, people are so disinterested in EVs, Teslas are being sold faster than they can be made, all causing a disinterest in EVs. 🤔 Not sure exactly how that works.

Ok then, how about some quality puns!

Yes I know. I didn't want to take the air out of the fun here.

I think Tesla vision is ok. I wanted to replace the warning tones with fart sounds but then I never really grew up. I don't believe I can do anything but add them to the turn signals. What is more concerning to me is I financed part of the deal, and so far I haven't heard anything from the...

Say whaaaaaaaaaat ? They pushed you again? Durnit. I was pulling for you guys. I will say at least externally you are handling this well.

This whole discussion is making me tyred. * ducks and runs*

Pressures will change slightly with OA temps. Mine are usually at 42psi.

Looks like a bunch of NJ cars are due to be in around 4/15 into the first part of May. In my experience when they bumped the dates a few days earlier, it wasn't long after that I recieved a text to set my pickup date. It's like they are honing in on a final date those last few weeks. So far I...

Updated to software version 2023.6.11 . Old version 2023.2.300 Since I've never had ultrasonic on this car, I can't really make a fair comparison. The new update added the vision system. I don't think it's perfect yet, however it seems to be working pretty well within a few inches. I don't tend...

I have version 2023.2.300, so I appear to still be waiting for the update. Thanks for the tips. I will go to advanced to maybe get the update a little faster.

Just an FYI that might not apply to all here since not every state requires inspection. I was driving the car and realized it wasn't inspected. I was under the impression Tesla inspected the cars. I called Tesla service who informed me they are seen as a manufacturer distributer/service and...

Prior to picking up my MY LR , I was required to acknowledge the lack of USS sensors in my car. I had no issues with this because I was under the impression there was a replacement vision system that would at least get me in the ball park when parking. Tesla's documentation confirmed a vision...

Congratulations on getting your car! If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. :)

Hang in there it's going to happen. Not sure if this might given them a nudge or not. Do you reach out to the SA through texts occasionally? Who knows? can't hurt. The reality of it is this just isn't a 'fair' way for them to do things, as in sequentially. I am also going to guess that without...

The ones you ordered look pretty nice! The covers I ordered look very similar to the factory covers in design but they are black. I don't have the link or I would post it. MIne were about 159.00 on Amazon. I wanted a cover that hides the rims like the factory covers.Mine came with foam tape but...

I'll try and get a better pic today and maybe a brand. You can see the silver behind the covers if you look hard up close. From a distance though they look like black rims.

Update- We took delivery yesterday at a SC instead of the sales location. Fairly easy and painless experience. I checked and double checked the facvtory assembly. No problems could be found in my Autstin build. When we arrived car was on charger and at 100%.. Came with cargo cover and J1772...

Great suggestion. Thanks. Main issue is it's located behind a shelf area. It's always something's isn't it? I could still make it work.I want to see if it's hot with my meter. Prior homeowners attempted washer dryer hookup in garage. Lines burst. It was a disaster.

On chargers. I accidentally stumbled on a 230 volt dryer outlet when I was epoxy coating my garage floor. I don't believe Tesla still provides the portable setup. If I had that, I would have another charging option besides the Autel. I prefer the higher amperage direct connection, but in a...
