    20x8.5 square Work Brombachers installed

    I was wondering how the TPMS worked out. So how did you hold the front wheel from rotating? I think I would let the impact do it.

    Vehicle may not restart Message when braking in slow driving mode

    About 11 months ago I and several others experienced the same a036 code. Maybe you've seen the thread but if not, do a search. There were various fixes involving wiring harnesses, third brake lights and others I don't remember. Since no one actually had a failure to restart, I took a chance and...

    Any Recommendations for Hitch Tow Cargo?

    Trip was fine. Didn't weigh it but probably<100lbs. At some SC In had to almost touch the barrier for the cord to reach. I removed it when not using it.

    New 2024 Model Y Break-in period?

    Many race series they're sent out with the stickers still on (called stickys). After a few laps they become scuffs.

    New 2024 Model Y Break-in period?

    I guess race tires don't need a "release agent" to get out of the mold.

    aftermarket lug nuts, will these work?

    I've had my eye on those. Notice they list 3/4" hex. Can you check that and report back?

    Don't know if it really helps, but I've set my max charge rate to 28A since day one.

    DQOTD: Has Anyone Worn Out/Replaced a Tesla Mobile Connector?

    I've wondered also since mine is treated exactly the same as yours and I bought it used. I'm tempted to buy a spare when I see them for $150-$180.

    Turn indicator side view now half size

    This just started today. On the left side of the screen when using either turn signal, only the upper half shows the side view with the car icon occupying the bottom half. Is this part of an update or is something wrong?

    Dog protection for door side panel beneath window

    I use a poster board(2/$1.00) shoved down in the window and folded down over the door panel. They hold up even with the up-down of the window with door opening. After my Akita put a nasty scratch in the L panel it was all I could come up with and It's become the permanent solution.

    Tow hitch

    You need to invest in a set of plastic pry sticks. I've had that cover on and off many times with no marking. Start prying at the top edge about 4" to the right of center where there are no clips.

    Mountain Pass Performance (MPP) Extended Wheel Studs - Model Y Performance

    Thanks! The Dorman 610-490 is listed as 69.75. I'll have to research if there's something between the two.

    Mountain Pass Performance (MPP) Extended Wheel Studs - Model Y Performance

    Sorry if I missed it but how much longer are the studs you used and are they the exact same length as the 610-490?
  23. B

    Mountain Pass Performance (MPP) Extended Wheel Studs - Model Y Performance

    Excellent!! Thanks for this. Depending on what wheels I wind up with, I may have to do this and I don't want the extra weight of studs and nuts with bolt on spacers. An impact gun would have made the job much easier.

    Will a 255-45-19 tire fit on 9.5 rims

    That's not how wheel width is measured. You need to measure from INSIDE bead to bead which is impossible while tire is mounted. Remove the wheel from the vehicle and the width will be noted somewhere on the back side.

    2023 Model Y flat tire off wheel

    If there's no pressure in the tire, it shouldn't be driven at all.

    Do Android phones require Tesla App to be opened for the key lock to work?

    Just the last few weeks I've been getting "key not detected" about a minute into ever trip. About two minutes later it goes off. I guess I'll try the above suggestions.

    Satonic Soft Close Frunk

    That looks like something that should have come standard. I hate putting two handprints on the frunk everytime I use it. Not sure if it's worth $100 to me though.

    Torque for rear door strike plates

    I've been wanting to do same since one door requires more force to close than the others. A T47 seems like a better fit than T45.

    Living with the 16v LV battery

    I just went out to check again. Uniden read 13.5V. Multimeter read 15.55V. Maybe the Uniden plug has a voltage limiter built in?

    Model Y Second row Headrest removal

    Don't know if you were successful but after you remove the headrest, pry off the cap and remove the spring and pawl from the screwdriver side and you'll be able to easily deal with the headrest just by pushing the button.

    Vehicle may not restart Message

    Hasn't occurred for almost two months. I was advised to note the exact date and time of each alert but I haven't gotten any lately. I really thought my 1k mile trip that I mentioned in an earlier post would have provoked it. How's yours behaving?

    Radar detector

    Thanks for the reply. Guess I'll order it. $299 from Sams Club sound about right?

    Vehicle may not restart Message

    If you go to the beginning of this thread, it was all MYP built in Fremont. Unless I missed something, your's is the only Austin build to experience this. I was at an auto event on Sat and spoke to a Tesla rep who claimed to work in service. I told him about a_036 and he said he'd never seen it.
