There are so, so many horror stories out there of these things malfunctioning; a lot of them fail, and (best case) your frunk is stuck closed, or (worst case I saw) the frunk flies open while driving. I would love to have a power frunk -- probably the feature I want most other than cooled seats...

This is exactly how my blue Model Y is. Worse, it has underspray on the *outside* of the trunk lid, and a blotch spot on the rear fender. The paint quality is absolute crap. I didn't bother to ask them to fix it because I was afraid they'd make it worse.

I’m same as you (same timeline too with the v11 trial last August, on my 2023 MYP), hated FSD’s behavior when I tried it last year…tried the new v12 yesterday and it was still terrible. Cannot handle roundabouts gracefully (there are roundabouts everywhere here), chose the wrong lane multiple...

I last tried FSD in the September/October/November timeframe last year (2023), when I had it on free trial after my August purchase. Wasn’t impressed. It did a lot of dumb things and I was more nervous with it driving. Got in my car today, saw the free trial of the new v12 version…decided to...

LOL I know you didn’t mean it this way but it still sometimes strikes me as wild how quickly we’ve gotten used to a family crossover doing 0-60 in under 4 seconds, to the point that you are making distinctions about whether or not it was measured with rollout. Not that long ago, for anything...

You really are coming off as a fanboy who can’t have a legitimate conversation. I’m not arguing with you about Rivian’s system, I have never tried it. It might be totally useless. But Tesla’s doesn’t really work any better than most other systems in places like construction zones, that’s my...

What does the free/included version of AP do other than follow lanes and auto-adjust speed to the car in front? Literally almost every car does that now. My wife’s 2021 Kia Telluride does it. Full Self Driving, aside from being heinously expensive, is still very, very beta. I hated using it...

Nice work. Can you take some more close-up pictures with the lights off, so we can see the quality of the integration of the lights into the trim pieces?

I watched some of the walkthrough videos from car YouTubers…overall looks really nice. Only two design choices I can see that I disagree with are that I think they could have taken this as an opportunity to evolve the headlights/front end a bit more, but my real issue is the charge port. Rear...

As did I. I'm willing to throw $100 at them if it helps them make it to 2026, directly or by show of support for investors. It's a small risk.

Announcement happened. Highlights: R2 and even smaller R3 unveiled. R2 About the size of a Model Y 300+ miles with the larger battery option NACS $45k starting Single, dual, and tri-motor variants Sub-3-second 0-60 for high end trim Deliveries starting in the "first half" of 2026 All seats...

I knew they were burning cash really fast but this really shows it well. It illustrates my concern…can they survive two more years to get the R2 to market? I think the R2 is going to be a really good vehicle — and the style of it will probably be very appealing in this market that loves Broncos...

I really want Rivian to succeed. The R2 is a must-win for them. They must nail it, and they must survive long enough to get it into the hands of customers. It is literally do or die on the R2. I'd be surprised if the $47k version does 0-60 in 3 seconds (I bet that stat is for a higher end...

What do you think about the handling feel? Is it now much more vague/sloppy if you’re trying to carve corners like some others have reported?

Like Alonzo, I enter them as a summary from the 1099. IRS doesn't care about you entering the details of each individual transaction...unless you get audited, I presume. I also like FreeTaxUSA — I switched to them from Intuit TurboTax years ago. Don't know well it handles small business income...

Just as a data point, I had no issues filing my return. About three weeks ago I logged into my Tesla account and requested they generate that document (thanks to the directions on this forum). That was not super obvious though, I’m sure there will be plenty of people who don’t know how to go to...

^ Must be nice to be able to keep your car clean in the winter :P Do you have upsized tires on there? If so, what size and how's the ride and handling?

LOL...I mean yeah, colored seat belts would be great and all, but I just laugh for me that's pretty far down the list of things I think it would be nice to have options on. How about... More exterior colors (lighter/brighter blue, silver, some kind of green...) More interior colors (saddle...

I admit I am having the same thoughts :)

Wow, looking good...that's the exact style I'm considering. But those are 20s with larger than normal tires on them, right? I think 255/40 R 20 would be the closest diameter for 20" to the 255/35 R 21 stock, so you upsized to the 255/45? Got any wider shots?

I know this is an old thread but I'm looking to do this exact swap (from an MYP with 21" Uberturbines to a lighter 20") and I would love to hear more people's opinions on the ride quality and handling. I don't care about range. I just want the thing to not feel so crashy/harsh over regular road...

OK, but can you tell us which sizes you tried? There are a lot of sizes being discussed here. While the larger tires will certainly weigh more, and I believe that the handling doesn't feel as sharp, I have a hard time believing that the ride is worse. A much larger sidewall is almost certainly...

Would love to see more pics on people’s cars, and hearing about the ride compared to the 21” Uberturbines. Interested in some lightweight 20s and these look kind of nice.

Oh well sure, if you’re comparing them to a 911 that makes sense LOL. I thought you were comparing them against, you know, other SUVs…in which case I think they’re amazing.

LOL what? Have you actually driven those vehicles? The way they drive is incredible…the Macan barely feels like an SUV it handles so well, and the Cayenne, while it’s definitely big, still handles and drives so well it’s just fun. I almost bought a Cayenne GTS a couple of years ago and I was...

Also be sure to lubricate your owner’s manual bushings. You know, the owner’s manual…where it lists maintenance requirements…

Juniper is largely expected to show up at some point this year, but it could stretch into early next year. There’s a big thread on it around here somewhere. But as you’ve pointed out, the inventory deals + tax credits are amazing if you’re not trying to get a Performance, which seem to be kind...

I’m sure it will be $30k better. Porsche engineering and build quality is legit. You’re not “just” paying for the name, it’s the high level of product you’re getting for that name (I’m saying there’s legitimacy there, unlike, say…Alfa or Maserati these days, where you ARE mostly paying for the...

I don’t take my cars through car washes because I am quite sensitive about the way the paint looks. After a year or two of regular car washes, a dark paint will be swirl city. I see this all the time and other peoples cars when the sun hits it. But… As you said you’re not that concerned with...

Heh. Thanks. I work at home though, and only drive this car about 6k miles a year, so a set of tires is definitely a long term commitment for me :)

Resurrecting this summary table based on comments I've been reading. Added Con #3 to the Supersize option based on what a couple of people have said. I'm really getting sick of my MYP's harsh ride, even with the stocks underinflated, but I'm very undecided about going with the Upsize or...

@Noflash Looks great. Are those both wrapped in a matte PPF? Really love how the blue looks. I love keeping my cars nice, but...damn that's a lot of $$! My MYP's paint is so sh!tty though I'm seriously thinking about it.

It's definitely less than 90 seconds but I haven't timed it...probably somewhere in the realm of 20-30 seconds. I'd be very surprised if it was the watch losing internet and, aside from your comment about the wake timeout being 90 seconds, the rest of the evidence so far doesn't really point in...

James, I've been using Tessie since August and it's been great. My main use case is starting the climate control from my watch, but I also dive into the data analytics on occasion. Lately (I can't say exactly when), waking the car up via the watch app has been extremely unreliable — I'd say it...

Yeah..."I'm already underwater on two cars, but I bought another one at a price I couldn't pass up" translates to "salesmen can see me coming from miles away." I echo the others...forget the Rivian, you can pass it up, and realize that you've already made your bed and now you have to sleep in...

Well in that case I’m glad you’re having fun! I haven’t seen a Model Y at any of our events yet, but there have been a couple M3Ps and it’s just hilarious to watch them. They‘re so fast, and one guy is so aggressive with his braking that he can make the front end scrape the ground a touch. At...

This is definitely the truth. The last few days are the first I’ve been out in really crappy conditions in my Tesla, and man the wipers are pathetic. I thought I couldn’t hate them any more just because of how stupid the auto-wipers are, but now when I actually need them — when other cars are...

This has been an interesting read, but I can’t help but wonder what you guys are experiencing that I’m not. I’ve never taken my MYP on a track, but I have done AutoX for years with a friend’s Focus ST, and prior to the MYP I owned cars like a BMW 340i M-Sport, a VW GTI Performance Pack, etc...

I’ve only had my car since August. The windshield wipers got significantly dumber with one of the fall updates — like everyone else here, they now wipe randomly under a clear sunny sky, and they are unreliable in the wet. Now I have to leave them off, and then when it rains tap the washer button...

Took a roadtrip last week and tried to extensively use FSD. Still on my free trial. I'm on FSD Beta v11.4.7.3. I had tried out an earlier version a couple of months ago and did not like it. My experience: it’s still a disaster. I had to cancel it so often… riding too close to the center line on...

That does look good. I watched their full install video, it looks fairly clean in daylight (always the big problem with these kits, do they look like crap during the day). Probably the best one I've seen. I agree that's not ideal but it looks a lot better than the alternative. With the way the...

You're right...I can't edit my original post, I feel like an idiot, but I'm on v11. I got my wires crossed and thought a big update I got recently put it on v12 but I was wrong. Anyway...v11 sucks :P Go on, laugh.

LOL if my experience with v12 is any indication, they’d better not release it for a long time yet. It’s a disaster. I still have the free trial so I’m trying it out as much as possible. I had to cancel it so often on a roadtrip last week… riding too close to the center line on a 2-lane state...

Usually it takes at least a few dates before I can ask for pics from behind.

The hood into the windshield thing I've only seen one confirmed instance of. The far more common issue (and why I've not installed one of these) is the situation where the unit malfunctions (because of water intrusion or whatever root cause) and then you can't get into your frunk at all, and...

You ordered accessories before you even ordered a car? Not only that, but a car that hasn't even been announced? Why? Why would you even assume that those accessories would fit the refreshed model Y — maybe the interior floor pans will change a bit and the floor mats won't fit. The screen size...

#1 seems kind of pointless, TBH. Just someone trying to invent a problem to take money. Unless you're driving around with your wiper fluid cap off, or purposely pouring gunky wiper fluid in, I don't see how debris could ever get in there. Haven't seen #2 before. Update after 1 month and change...

I haven't actually hit anything with it yet, but I'm terrified I'm going to tap the wrong icon in the app at some point and open the hatch while it's in the garage, with the garage door shut — meaning it will probably bash into the metal structure on the back of my garage door. The car is parked...

I've had more than one passenger "try" the emergency door release their first time in the car, because for some reason they decided that was the way to open the door instead of the clearly marked button on the handle. So yes, it's fine. It's not going to damage anything if you do it once or twice.
