I had a similar incident with few pits appearing on my model Y glass. Pit filler resin is useless for shallow pits , it just right off after few months . I was told that the resin is only good to fix cracks in the windshield .

So I was right then, buffing will remove most of the scratches .

One thing I can say is don’t expect the search to be fixed by paint alone. Buffing is needed even after painting to blend the scratch in with the rest of the surface.

I was speaking out of my experience on using G3 scratch remover. So I am not trying to sell him snake oil 😂

Get a scratch remover (the likes of G3). Put it on a micro fibre cloth and start buffing it out in straight lines (left to right - right to left , up down and down up ). Don’t do circular motion .i promise you the scratch will either completely go away or look much less conspicuous that you will...

Very true, may be with Tesla it’s just not possible to get info without waking it. I have also removed the Watchla app from my Apple Watch wake screen too.

on my iPhone the Tesla Home Screen widget wakes the car when ever I access my Home Screen. I see a small counter to the bottom right of the widget which shows time since the last access. The counter starts from seconds when every I access the Home Screen . Would like to know if there is a...

very valid point. the ring cordless inflators (well atleast the rtc 4000) has the option to plugin via the 12v socket and pump if the battery on the inflator has gone flat.

Just purchased the rtc 4000 RTC4000 Cordless Rechargeable Tyre Inflator I feel this is a balance between Bulky 6000 and the slow 2000

in that case I will have to fork out a bit more and get the cordless equivalent of rtc 1000 as I was quite happy with it, until the tripping issues began. Choice is either rtc 6000 or may be the cheaper rtc 4000.

Think I might go with this one . I don’t need anything fancy . In this age of work from home all I need is a device that could handle occasional top ups. Thank you all for your valuable contributions 🙏

Which version of the ring cordless please Rtc 2000 or 4000?

which version do you have RTC2000 or RTC4000?

I bet you have eyes set on model y Juniper

😜

i am more inclined on this one due to its compact size.

ah its powered by battery, cool

would this 18v work on model y without tripping the fuse?

been using Ring RTC 1000 since last august. but started to encounter issues, it seems to trip the cigarette lighter fuse on the vehicle. not sure how reliable the replacement would be. so i want to try other brands.

@Danbo Liu Did you get the high fidelity park assist update now ?

Looks like the donnington manor hotel have fixed the issue with signage.

which year was your vehicle made?

did it fix the issue? get a wheel over the pavement or driveway and see if the creak is gone.

to be honest to fix the tail gate flexing /creaking noise all you have to do is to apply lubricant (krytox or autoglym) over the marked areas. the rubber seal on the tail gate lid and the corresponsing groove on the frame where the seal sits. P.S this image is copied off the internet just to...

na, it holds well on plastic push fittings (to remove rattle) but not on rubber seals.

felt tape is a good idea but unfortunately it didnt hold on my vehicle and started to peal with in couple of hours. i used tesa 51608-00001-00 PET Fleece Fabric Tape,

this is only temp though. but you know what to do if this problem comes back. just autoglym it 👍. regarding the relay theft, with tesla, the phone has to be couple of inches for the signal to be picked up.its not as bad as the likes of Mercedes/ Range rover. initially i used to have pin to drive...

They use Krytox KRYTOX NRT 8908 High Temperature Performance Lubricant Grease Tube 2oz | eBay. Expensive stuff. They will run the lube over all the seals of the trunk and doors . I have been speaking to a Tesla tech the other day and he mentioned that the trunk issue is a common thing ...

Don’t worry about the quoted cost. If you can demonstrate the noise and it turns out to be not your fault ( you are not the reason for the rattle, I.e you did not drop something that has caused the rattle), then they will waive it off. Happened to be numerous times. I would say give autoglym a...

If I were you I wouldn’t bother trying to find the source of the creak . I have successfully removed the creak on my 2023 model y by smearing autoglym rubber and vinyl care using a micro fibre cloth on the tail gate rubber seals , rubber stoppers and the metal where the rubber seal sits when...

i am happy to report that the trunk rattle has completely gone. all i have done is to smear autoglym rubber and vinyl care over all the rubber seals and metal frame that touches the seals. i have even removed the bottom rubber stoppers on trunk and applied the lubricant over it. now, the...

If you are sure about the middle seat then try adding felt tape to the metal latch that holds the seat. And also worth cleaning the middle seat contact points with a lubricant to smoothen the stiffness of the leather. Worth a look -

happy to repot that all creaks have gone. i have smeared autoglym rubber and vinyl care over all the contact points (even on the paint surfaces) on the trunk lid and that has removed creakings even when rear wheels pass over pavements. the vehicle is creak free , at least for now 🤞

I was able to demonstrate the noise to the service tech and they asked me to book a further appointment as the boot has to be to striped to detect the source of the issue. quite surprisingly after heading back , I have seen that if I were to drive the vehicle with tailgate lid raised , there is...

quick question please . After I have loosed the tail gate rubber stoppers , I find the secondary lock (the one that squeezes the lid to the frame) is struggling to close. It’s closing none the less. Would this damage the lock in the long run ?

i have done that earlier and the creaking reduced considerably. however, i find that low intencity creaks do comes back when the rear wheels go over pavement. only way to reduce that is it open the tail gate and close it again. i have a feeling that the rubber stops creak when they twist and...

Good point . But I tend to hear the noises from back (tail gate area). May be you are right as I haven’t actually been in the back seat when vehicle is in motion .

Tell me about it 😔

i have noticed that if i were to drive with tail gate opened, there is no creak what so ever even on pavements. so i have loosened the 4 rubber stoppers and that reduced creaks drastically.

😆 hope its not gaseous.

Quite surprising driving with tail gate raised did not produce any creaking noise . So I have loosened the rubber stoppers on the tail gate lid and that reduced creaking considerably.

till now I have been in the assumption that the creaking noise from the rear when driver over pavement, is due to rubbing of battery to metal chassis. but today I found out that if I were to drive with the tail gate raised there is no creaking whatsoever. I loosened the 4 bushes and evidently...

Could krytox lube fix this ?

Ah in that case as the seals wear out the creaking noise might reduce then?

i was able to demonstrate the noise. However, i was asked to rebook it as the vehicle has to be left for a day or so for them to strip the boot out to find the source. i am having second thoughts now, will give it few weeks or so and see if it gets unbearable. thanks for all the comments.

i have a service appointment booked for tomorrow 🤞

could that be the hub caps? they have plastic fins that need to be cut off.

I have a service appointment tomorrow with the local Tesla .they say it might not be body flex as battery is secured by multiple bolts . I hope they fix the issue by taking battery out and padding it,rather than brush it off as body flex.🤞

i have a 2023 RWD model y that creaks when rear wheel goes over pavement or getting the vehicle in and out of the driveway. this creak developed after 3000 miles of driving. tesla mobile service agent says its not suspension issue and its body flex. i suspect its due to battery casing rubbing...

This is the body flex creaking noise I get on my 2 month RWD Model y.same noise on 2 other LR model y vehicles I know off.
