    AliExpress carbon fiber steering wheel

    Definitely curious about the heating aspect. I want to order one but my wife thinks the bottom carbon portion will be uncomfortable to hold compared to stock.

    Sway Bars

    Definitely feels less top heavy. I honestly think it should have come like this from factory. I was worried it would be significant as well but it really isn't. Feels more like the performance model.

    Sway Bars

    I just installed UPP sway bars (front and rear) on my 2023 Shanghai MY long range. They're both set to street density (middle notch) and my goodness what an improvement. The car rides and handles so much better now. Feels way more planted when taking corners. Highly recommend the upgrade.

    Model Y Brake Controller

    You need the tow package to get power from the harness in the driver footwell.

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    I'm running TeslaMate and had to update my Docker containers because the recent location gathering API had changed. Also an Ownice user.

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    For those having issues with their Tesla WiFi connecting to the Ownice after upgrading to Tesla Software v2023.38.6 go make sure your Ownice software is upgraded to v2.8.15.

    I power it the same way. I can also confirm you MUST have the tow package for the tow harness to provide switched power.

    Sway Bars

    I have a 2023 Model Y Long Range (Shanghai Build) and one thing I'd love to improve is the amount of body roll when taking sweeping corners on the highway. Because this is still my winter mountain car I don't want to lower it on coilovers as it already has minimal ground clearance to begin...

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    Just wanted to update on my power situation. I went with the DROK buck converter which worked perfectly on my 2023 MY with a 16v battery. This combined with switched power from the tow hook has made the Ownice an even smoother experience now. Thanks again for the recommendation @Mandingo...

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    I know this is directed at Mandingo but this is my experience. 1. Yes, I leave my car disconnected from my home wifi to avoid confusion for when the Ownice boots up. 2. Main downside is software updates like you called out, but I just simply connect my wifi, do the update, and then forget it...

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    I reached out to the OwniceAiBox chat on Telegram and asked the same question and the response was: "It doesn't support google assitant, google assistant requests a microphone inside the T3 box, which it doesn't have." I also asked about Tesla voice commands which don't work either. "If you...

    Heh we clearly have the same thought process in mind. I currently have laser jammers running off of it. Next will be the R7 detector and finally the Ownice. I added an inline fuse just to be safe as well.

    Thanks I've ordered one directly from their website since Amazon is showing it as unavailable. Hopefully this does the trick!

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    Can anyone recommend a reliable 16v to 5v buck converter? I tried a cheap Chinese 12v to 5v converter so that I could hardwire it to the tow harness but it wouldn't power up. I tested a dashcam to confirm the power was working which it was.

    I asked them not to install it since it's going in for PFF. They just made me sign a waiver saying Tesla is not liable for any fines. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005005478280309.html (these are the matte black ones)

    Tesla acquired. Already swapped my AliExpress hubcaps. Man I felt bad for one couple. They drove all the way out from Chilliwack to find out that they didn't actually have their car there. It was still stuck at the port even though they got a call saying to come to their delivery day. I would...

    Yeah I don't love giving it up right away but this also makes the window for any nicks to be almost zero. They'll need it for at least a day.

    I literally pickup the Tesla and then drop it off for PPF (front bumper, hood, mirrors, headlights). I don't see much point in rear mud flaps unless you want to protect the cars behind you.

    It's happening. Just got my email to confirm delivery! Earliest delivery date was June 26th in Langley.

    Model Y Brake Controller

    From all my research this is a reliable 12v switched power source. I actually just picked up the harness from my local Tesla Service Center as I plan on using it to power a couple accessories. I should have my MY 2023 shortly and can post back to confirm.

    I went to Tesla Langley today. Didn't see a bunch of Tesla's there. Also spoke with a SA and they were unable to provide much information. Just said the car should be delivered in the next 10 days.

    I spent the last 2hrs getting my Ownice T3 up and running. What a huge PITA that was but it now works flawlessly with my Pixel 5. There is no way I would have managed to get it running without the information in this thread, specifically the firmware and flashing tool links. I also had to use...

    https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/b-c-port-workers-strike-affecting-supply-of-goods-on-vancouver-island-1.6467899 I wonder if Tesla will do something similar if the strike isn't resolved by EOW.

    The ports officially on strike as of 9AM PST. I hope they have contingency plans for maybe offloading these cars in Tacoma or something.

    Congrats on the pickup. Looks sharp! Silly question but was Tesla able to provide the park plate when registering? I canceled my previous insurance after selling our X3 so I had to return our park plate. I'm wondering when we go to pickup the car if they can register it with a park plate?

    I also sound the second vehicle in anticipation of receiving the MY within a few weeks. Of course the day after we sold it we get the email stating all vehicles will be coming from China and than our ETA just went out the window. Not an ideal situation but what can you do. I just hope it arrives...

    As a first post I just wanted to chime in and say I appreciate all the effort many of you are making to share information. I'm still waiting on my Model Y to show up but have already ordered the Ownice T3. Slightly concerned now as I read some of the new issues cropping up. But hopefully future...
