    Model 3 wheel cover purpose?

    I came here after searching bc i had similar questions. Not trying to stir the pot, but I'm so curious as to why there is an enormous level of interest in hubcaps/wheel covers within the tesla community. I understand the potential aero benefit of the oem covers, but do aftermarket provide...

    Enhanced autopilot worth $6k seems to be useless as summon feature is blocked off

    Oh this is interesting. I had thought that updates was for the overall system and not just for local/city street autopilot, didn't read that part closely

    Enhanced autopilot worth $6k seems to be useless as summon feature is blocked off

    are you referring to the AP/auto lane changes on the highway at night bc Autosteer w/o lane changes works quite well at night from my experience. I have not had a chance to get on the highway to test auto lane changes yet

    Enhanced autopilot worth $6k seems to be useless as summon feature is blocked off

    I think with the recent update, and free month trail being able to test auto pilot and auto park, i'm now considering EAP but the $6K is steep. For me, I think the highway AP with lane changes is a game changer. I use Autosteer often and get annoy having to disable it to pass a call. Recent...

    Model Y Radar Mount

    ahh ok, i was hoping you found a different way. Been too nervous to go fishing for the correct red wire from the bundle. I guess i'll give it a shot. thx

    Sorry to threadjack, but where/what did you tapped for the switched power source?

    Tesla Newbie - PPF Necessary?

    #1 is really only true when the PPF is removed bc you'd be comparing protected vs unprotected. But if the PPF is still on, I'd would think the PPF to be more weathered overtime bc it can't stay clear forever and it's should be much easier to restore/paint correct on the car's clearcoat to bring...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    I don't think the discussion is about whether you can still purchase the unit through tesla, that has always been available. this discussion is more about purchasing the unit somewhere else to DIY and going through the retrofit software installation process. Some folks are getting an error with...

    Satonic Soft Close Frunk

    I ordered from catronics navmaker on aliexpress and it was $78 and it's identical to the tlyard unit as shown in some of their review photo and comes with the white plastic hole insert and metal patch. I'm sure all of them are the same

    time to replace tires on my MYP, need suggestions

    I plan on simply getting new tires (wider) for the uber when time comes. I think there are many post on alternate sizes to get rid of the stretched look as well as being more common sizes when it comes to availabilities and possibly pricing. For me, i'm not a big fan of the looks of the 21'...

    Firmware on Differing Headlights

    i assume by global, you're referring to the matrix headlights? i'm not sure if the headlights are interchangable bc i would expect more people to try and upgrade their non-matrix to matrix headlights if that was an option.

    App spooling

    I've experienced similar delays. Not sure if it's gotten worse but certainly more noticeable now. Seeing how we're encouraged to use the phone and not having a physical keyfob, these delays are rather an inconvenient. Say I'm approaching the car with grocery and wants to pop the trunk more often...

    Windshield Defogging issues

    yea, as smart and advance as the car is, this is just simply silly and i'm surprised more accident doesn't occur. I'm ok with the defogging taking time to be effective, it simply can't make it worst and blind the driver while doing it.

    Model Y Brake Controller

    same thing here, bought the adapter to power my dash cam, but i read somewhere that they recently disabled this port, which used to be a a reliable switched source.

    Thanks, indeed they do look quite good at night!

    Making my model Y safer

    Can you elaborate more on night time? I would imagine any sort of cameras would be completed blinded by headlights so i'm interested to see how it would perform at night. Any nighttime photo to share?

    Cargo mat recommendations. Is this one good?

    I don't have those specifically, but got my mats from alliexpress for a fraction of the cost, if you don't care for name brand or stamped logo. For $200, got fronts, rear, trunk, seat backs and frunk and sub trunk. Fitment is great and they don't have the rubber floor mat look and feels. They...

    Unknown grill gadgets

    yea, quick google for radar alert led, show that it's potentially a k40 unit (could just be a discreet radar detector but could also be a jammer as well), which as an external alert LED. so under the dash somewhere is the brain unit. I would look for the brain unit to confirm and make sure its...

    Windshield Defogging issues

    i came here searching because of the same issue thinking that i'm doing something wrong (and maybe i am). a bunch of people blaming user error seems silly to me. Regardless of auto climate or not, when a user needs to defog, the one thing the car can't do, is make the situation worse (even if...

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    Only issue i've had was when i answered via the AA screen. But if i answer via the tesla side below the FSD screen on the left, then it works as usual through tesla bluetooth audio.

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    i haven't tried, but not sure how this impact the car's wifi connection to the ownice box. Before, i would just have to connect the box, and if the car doesn't connect, select the box wifi and off we go. I haven't used mine for a while so figured i had to set it up again and never got around to...

    Brand new 03/23 build, window roll up and back down problem

    yup, mobile tech came out and almost had the wrench in hand because this must have been super common. my door doesn't sit flush, but i no longer notice it, so it's worth the price of getting rid of the window problem.

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    Agreed also. I don't have any experience with the T2C unit and may have been lucky that whatever bugs have been sorted out with the Ownice T3. It has been relatively flawless in adding the AA/Carplay integration into the browser. For a relatively small plug and play unit for less than $75 ship...

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    i didn't see the option to edit my post so apologies for the double post. In case other have the same issue and are using android, this morning, i connected the T3 to my wife's iphone and was able to get to 3.3.3.3 in safari to do an actual update (over my flash). Once this was done, it...

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    Just received my unit and for the life of me, I can't get the page (Android Auto) to load either. Even tried flashing to prior firmware as shared previously, but same issue. 3.3.3.3 seems to load up fine, however fails to check for updates.

    Model Y Rear Bumper Repair or replacement

    I would check for tesla certified shops. Other than that, let the shop deal with the insurance and their insurance will also cover rental so just drive that around. Why contemplate work around and/or shortcuts, to save them money unless you're planning to do a cheap repair to pocket the...

    Tesla Collision Owen Mills, MD vs Tesla Certified Body Shop

    For me, all of the shops were equal distance and a little out of the way. Shaw seems more responsive than other places i've contacted and were accommodating when i had to drop off the car earlier prior to going out of town. I am slightly annoyed to have to bring it back for the radio and paint...

    Tesla Collision Owen Mills, MD vs Tesla Certified Body Shop

    I ended up taking it to Jeff Shaw in baltimore, they had more availabilities. The folks there are good people and there's an Enterprise near by so pickup/drop-off are done at the shop, which is convenient.. They ended up replacing my lift gate, picked up last friday and probably bringing it back...

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    so even with the RPi setup, you're still at the mercy of the carplay dongle hardware and software for the functionality of carplay/android auto? I'm sure wifi and other processing might be improved with the setup, but from what you're saying, it seems like that's the main choke point/limitation.

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    I don't doubt that module is much more capable than the carlinkit or ownice, but at 4-5x the cost, for somebody that likely just want to use Android Auto or Carplay, is this module overkill?

    Seeking advice after tire repair

    If the leak is around the patch, have the same shop try to fix or possibly take it to another shop to evaluate and see if they can fix.

    Performance vs not in a new Y

    Acceleration Boost (AB) or 20" induction wheels for 2023 new Model Y LR

    This right here is exactly why I forked up $4k for the Performance. There isn't many manufacturer out there where you can get this much added stuff for a $4k factory upgrade. It's way cheaper/faster than if you did AB and wheel upgrade. Suspension, red brakes, spoiler, badge are all freebies at...

    Homelink Not Available for 2023 Model Y?

    just to cover all the bases, the harness is bundled up and may not be obvious that there's an extra plug and may need to be unwrapped to expose. The plug is also capped with dust cover so it might not look obvious that you can plug anything to it.
