    Vendor APEX VS-5RS & SM-10RS - The LIGHTEST Plug & Play Fully-Forged Wheels for Tesla - Authorized Dealer

    I’ve been meaning to post pictures for a while… 2023 Model Y Dual Motor Long Range, 19x9.5 brushed clear. I also got the calipers painted white and got both wheels and calipers ceramic coated. I tried a number of different aftermarket center caps. In the end the best looking are the Tesla...

    Purchasing a 4x 19" Gemini wheel set with SUMMER tires from Tesla?

    Just curious, but where are you located?

    Installing Tesla Wall Connector Outside

    I live in a condo and I don’t have a garage so I‘m not able to charge at home. That’s fine because there is a Tesla supercharger about 2 miles down the road, so I usually stop there a couple of times per week to charge. I have family who lives nearby and I usually visit them on weekends. I‘ve...

    Vendor Show Off Your Aftermarket Model Y Wheels

    Very good. The offset is just enough where they barely stick out past the wheel wells just a tiny bit. I thought for sure range would take a hit, but so far pretty similar to the factory Gemini wheels with wheel covers. Over the 1200 miles I drove with the factory Gemini wheels & wheel...

    Vendor Show Off Your Aftermarket Model Y Wheels

    I haven’t had the car cleaned yet, but just got these put on today. I’m getting a full ceramic coating later this week.

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    In my experience, it always shows me being too close to everything. It’s telling me to ”STOP” when I’m still 2 feet away from the curb. I guess it’s better being overly cautious than having me smash into the curb because it says I’m further away.

    (Pics) - 2023 Austin Built MY AWD trunk storage side covers

    FYI, Tesla now sells those direct. When you order, it asks you which build you have. I have a 2023 Austin build and they fit just fine.

    Getting Calipers Painted

    I just got my new 2023 Model Y LR earlier this month. White on White. I purchased new wheels, APEX VS-5RS 19” (same size as the factory Gemini wheels). I’ll be getting the wheels installed in about 2 weeks. Here is a picture of what the car will look like: Next week I will be getting the...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    It did before it said to stop. So basically when I was about 4 feet away from the curb, it said 12 inches, then went to STOP, so I stopped and when I got out I was at least 3 feet from the curb.

    Replacement Tires

    I had the Cross Climate 2 tires on my Model 3. Compared to the factory tires that came with the car, they were an improvement in handling in dry and wet weather, and a huge improvement in snow. However, they did cause about a 10% reduction in range, probably because they are not low rolling...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    So I never got around to doing this, figured I would set this up at some point and do the factory reset, but yesterday suddenly for no apparent reason the Tesla Vision started working on my car. Very strange because it’s not like I did a software update anytime recently. Last software update...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    Well that sucks…. I have my car about 2 weeks now, and after hours of messing around with the various settings, I think I finally got everything dialed in the way I want it. Now to get this feature to work I have to erase everything and start over?

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    How do I enable Tesla Vision? Right now when I’m parking my 2023 Model Y, I don’t see anything on the screen, except for the rear camera if I’m going in reverse. I don’t see any visual of where other cars are like I’ve seen in YouTube videos.

    New York/New Jersey Waiting Room

    I finally took delivery of my white/white 2023 Model Y Long Range on Monday at the Princeton location. Last week Tesla had emailed me the NJ tax form to complete and I emailed it back the same day. They never sent any sort of confirmation email that they received it, but when I went there for...

    Better aftermarket tires?

    They get called out on Teslas a lot because they have no spare tire. Most cars do.

    Will Tesla offer suspension upgrade ?

    Yeah, from what I understand, this is a complaint a lot of folks have had with the performance models. I had a 2019 Model 3 Long Range, and I placed an order for a new Model Y that I will be picking up on Monday. With the small price difference, I was leaning towards getting the Performance...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    Wow, reading these posts I feel like everyone is in panic mode. The Tesla vision software just came out recently. Give it some time. Like everything else, the software will improve over time as Tesla upgrades it. Not many new features that Tesla has introduced over the past 4 years that I’ve...

    New York/New Jersey Waiting Room

    I’m just guessing here, but pretty sure any kind of tax rebate requires a VIN in order to claim. I know that is how the Federal Tax rebate form works. If you have not been assigned a VIN yet, then pretty sure there is no way for them to claim a rebate.

    New York/New Jersey Waiting Room

    Yes, I can confirm this as well. My delivery date is May 1st. It had stopped showing the $2k rebate earlier this week, but now it is showing again.

    Ceramic coating after two years?

    I keep wondering about this. I‘m physically unable to wash the car myself. I have a very bad back and it’s just not possible. That said, my current 2019 Model 3 is often times very dirty. I’m reluctant to go through regular car washes because I hear it can damage the paint. Instead, I try...

    Acceleration Boost option standard for all LR Model Ys?

    VS-5RS in 19 x 9.5, same size as the stock Gemini wheels. I suspect it will affect range negatively at highway speeds due to being less aerodynamic, but it should actually get better range at local driving speeds due to the 10.5 lbs savings per wheel compared to the stock wheels.

    Acceleration Boost option standard for all LR Model Ys?

    Here in New Jersey we have an extra $2k incentive for electric vehicles that cost under $55k, so the difference for me is $6k (or $4k with Acceleration Boost). So I went with the LR model, and I’m using $3k of that extra money to get APEX forged wheels that weigh 19 lbs each. In the end, my...

    Hi Danny, Thanks for the pictures. I guess I haven’t been on the forum long enough to send messages, so I sent you an email.

    Vendor Show Off Your Aftermarket Model Y Wheels

    Hi all, I’m new to the forum. I have a 2023 Model Y Long Range on order which should be here in a few weeks. I’m getting white/white with the 19” Gemini wheels. I’m leaning towards getting the AEPX VS-5RS in 19x9.5 size and using with the stock tires and TPMS sensors. I do have a couple of...
