Hey guys, When sitting at home, my Tesla connects to my Wi-Fi so it can get updates, but the connection from inside my home to out in the driveway is weak, so when I need to navigate somewhere I (by habit) turn off the Wi-Fi before inputting a destination. The other day, I did this without...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 19" Gemini wheels with no curb rash and stock tires.. Please add to the discussion here.

Hey guys, Got some new tires installed on my 18's from T-sportline yesterday, and the tire shop can't get one of them to stop leaking. I have had these rims on the car for 35,000 miles without any leaks, so it shouldn't be a problem with the rims, and after being unable to get one of the new...

I realized as I left work one day last week that I had a tire that was low (TPMS don't read until you start moving) so I stopped at the gas station half a mile away and bumped the pressure back to normal with my tire pump. There was no obvious source of the leak so I proceeded home where it is...

On my latest road trip, I plugged in to charge at a V3 supercharger and I was only getting 120 KW (I was at a low SOC, with a preconditioned battery), so I unplugged from 1C and plugged into 2B assuming that there was a problem with that cabinet... and got the same results. As pack voltage went...

Hey guys, This information is pertaining to the MYP, if you have good information on the MY LR or MY AWD (standard range) that differs from this, please add to the data! For the MYP, the front axle max load rating is 3004 lbs, and the rear axle max load rating is 3306. I am pretty sure (but...

I moved from one state to another over the last year, and some maintenance items got missed... I put the "new" tires on the car Jun 4th 2022 and didn't get around to rotating them until today, 14 months later! The really bad part is that in that 14 month span of time I covered over 30,000...

Hey guys, I figured out while rotating my tires today, that a 1.5 ton jack is barely enough to lift half of a 4,500 lb car safely, and it doesn't do it easily, so I need a new jack. Since I need a new jack anyway (at least 2.5 ton) I would like to get one that words with my rennstand jack...

Hey guys, Looks like the safety chain hook location on the OEM hitch is a pain in the butt to reach and will let the chains rub on the rear bumper cover. Does anyone make a ball mount that has safety chain hook locations on it to extend the safety chains away from the bumper? It is my...

Hey guys, Replaced my OEM mirrors that I had stick on convex blind spot mirrors on with some Suma Performance replacement convex mirrors. The swap was very simple, there are several video's that show how to do it if you need some instructions. I took several pictures from my seating position...

On my latest road trip, one of my charging sessions was at an EVGo high output CCS station using my CCS adapter. The official CCS standard it still 500 amps I believe (supposed to up to 800 amps with next iteration) but this station was putting out a healthy 525 amps, giving me 198KW charging...

I had my car detailed and ceramic coated the other day, and when I dropped it off I went to set the glovebox PIN. After typing in 3 numbers the "set pin" screen closed... I tried to open the glovebox and it wouldn't open with the 3 numbers I had typed in... no idea what it thought the 4th...

Is Tesla cooperate going to start scouring internet forums and auction websites to blacklist non-Tesla salvage title EV's from using the magic dock? If they don't do so, does this drive a legal wedge into the BS argument that they are blacklisting salvage title Tesla's for the owners safety? Keith

My MYP was repaired from a rear end colision that required the rear hatch to be replaced. I am still waiting for a new spoiler to come in before having the body shop put the new badges and spoiler on. In the mean time, I would like to get the car detailed and ceramic coated. My question...

I figure this has probably already been stated, but just for giggles I left my MYP in my Garage in mild temperatures while on a trip with sentry mode on. Zero trigger events and it dropped 29% in just over 4.5 days. Getting down to the nitty gritty, on average it lost 1% every 3 hours and 44...

I need a software update for my old Hansshow touch screen, and I am being told the only way I can get it is to contact the engineers on WhatsApp? I guess I am being a reproductive appendage for thinking this is a load of crap, but I don't feel the need to download another communications app to...

Just got an advertisment for the Tsportline drink cooler. It looks cool, and integrates well, but the price is way to high considering you can get a full size cooler for the sub-trunk that has 20 liters of space for the same price as the Tsportline drink cooler that will hold two 20 oz bottles...

First off, I was not in the direct path of Hurricane Ian, but if you can find a charity (give send go, go fund me, etc.) for people in the devastation zones please drop them a few bucks... but verify it isn't a scammer first. On to my story. My wife reports that there were high winds and heavy...

Well guys, several months ago I submitted a crap load of corrections to TomTom for their navigation map system. For example, a length of road may have 5 or 10 sections that have individual speed limit data, so to correct the speed limit on that one length of road you have to submit 5 or 10 data...

Hey guys, Just about complete moving almost 1000 miles for a new job... had to haul the Tesla behind a U-Haul to get to the new location and then drive it back to deal with final details of moving out of old location. Just in fuel it was brutal, but not as bad as I was thinking it would be...

I am going to be driving all over heII's half acre today looking for a home to rent near my new job, after arriving at the realtor I will be down to around 50%... CCS chargers are everywhere in an urban environment and I can pick one and do a quick top up... looking at plugshare if I was...

Hey guys, Did a search, looks like you can drive with the hatch open... my question is, will it try to drive me insane with beeps? Can I use Auto Pilot? With the hatch damage from being lightly rear ended, I am afraid that either I will not be able to get the hatch to shut after opening, or...

I would make my own air ducts to go around my Hansshow display. At the end of the ducts you could design it to accept the adjustable louvers from a conventional automotive AC system so you could once again direct the air flow where you wanted it. Keith

Hey guys, Did the installation of my Mountain Pass Performance front skid plate a couple days ago and figured I would post up the pictures. I drove the front of the car up onto heavy duty ramps, and made sure the car was not only in park, but had the parking brake set. Removing the plastic...

Well guys, one year has come and gone in what seems like the blink of an eye! I just wish I had driven an extra 405.25 miles :) Odometer reading at the one year point was 24594.75, would have been nice to make an even 25K. I do lots of road trips as you may be able to tell from the mileage :)...

The Bolt is actually faster than the MYP... in chill! Dragy results for my 2017 Bolt EV: Zero to 60 6.99 sec, 6.7 sec with the 1 foot roll out. 60' . . . . . . 2.60 330' . . . . . 6.70 1/8 . . . . . . 9.96 MPH . . . . . 75.34 1000' . . . . . 12.78 1/4 . . . . . . . 15.18 MPH . . . . . ...

When I purchased my 19" Gemini's, and when I sold my 21" Uberturbine's I thought it was a pain in the ass to fit them into the car without scuffing up the headliner... that ain't got nothin on trying to transport 4 loose tires, 4 wheels in their boxes, a set of TPMS sensors, and the center cap /...

I noticed as I drove up to a job skill test today (POSS B / MASS IC) that my car showed a car in front of me on the screen... the building I was parked in front of has mirrored windows, and the car is seeing itself in front of itself :) Later, Keith

Looks to me like the Model Y out sold the model 3 for 2021 so riddle me this batman: Why don't we have track mode for the MYP? and (much more important) Why don't we have a 1:18 scale die cast model? You can get models of Teslas that don't even exist (Roadster, Semi) but no die cast model of...

The poll has two sections, if you received your wheels respond with one of the first 3 responses, if you are still waiting respond with one of the last 3 responses. The last response is if you got disgusted and gave up... please post your time line below! Keith

I was just looking at my usable battery capacity on scan my Tesla (I note the capacity every 1000 miles) and I noticed that the day after I updated to 2022.12.3.1 my usable battery capacity did a large step change down from 75.9 kWh to 71.3 kWh (loss of around 14 miles of range on Teslafi...

The title pretty much says it all. I have done some dragy testing of my MYP with the stock 21's and then with some Gemini wheels, but I never tried slip start or off road assist when doing my testing... Thanks, Keith

I just went to the trouble of compiling my daily commute data from the first 6 months of owning the car. I used Teslafi data and then edited out anomalous data (different average speed than normal). If you use teslafi, it gives a nice "temp vs efficiency" chart, but that is not controlled for...

Hey guys, I have noticed that for a road trip I did, when I look at the trip summery for every driving portion it includes all the regular information (distance driven, kWh used, speed, cost etc.) and in addition it actually has the weather data (clear/cloudy, wind speed, and temperature)...

Hey guys, In my chosen tire size with proper load rating I have a choice between "normal" passenger car tires or "SUV" tires. In passenger car tires under "performance" you have SEVEN different categorizations, Extreme Performance summer, Max Performance Summer, Ultra High Performance...

Hey guys, Just been camping with my wife for the second time. First time was "car camping" using an EXPED mattress in the back of the MYP and camp mode climate control all night with a 50 amp 240V hookup at the campgrounds for one overnight, we were able to drive home non-stop from that trip...

Hey guys, I set up TOU charging schedule at work, so the battery will be warm when I leave to go home... but it seems to pretty consistently finish around an hour before I told it too, giving the battery an hour to sit idle cooling off in the winter temperatures the whole time. Do I need to...

Hey guys, This thing came with my Hansshow dashboard mounted touch screen. It is 3D printed and has holes in it. To be honest it looks like it is supposed to be an air diffuser to mitigate the air blockage caused by the screen location... but it was not mentioned in the instructions and is...

Hey guys, I have scheduled preconditioning to get my cabin up to temperature before driving. Normally when temperatures are "moderate" (30F to 40F) it seems like it only takes a few min for the car to heat up to my normal cabin temperature, so I am thinking that it will still get to the right...

Most people think of it as getting access to this years light show for the holidays... I think of it as getting almost everyone "on the same page" once a year. Half the time I am a month behind everyone else with the new cool features, but once a year we all will be talking about the same...

Hey guys, Every search I have run comes up with the 12V that used to be a switched 12V but is now a constant on 12V. It changed over due to a software update to prevent fooling the frunk into opening with the "jumper" system unless the 12V battery is dead... what switched 12V source do people...

Hey guys, On a whim I decided to go ahead and get veteran plates for my Tesla MYP and Chevy Bolt... doing so saved me $400!!! In Arkansas we have to pay an extra $200 each year to register an electric vehicle, since we are "getting away with" not paying around $80 in gas tax each year (based...

Hey guys, I know that the auto door unlock based on the phone or key fob works almost 100% of the time for me, but I need to know how it actually functions for an accessory I am thinking of purchasing. Does the auto unlock work by unlocking the doors as soon as it detects the phone / key fob...

Wonderful discovery this week! When driving at night the current software is nowhere near as good as the software that the car had when I got it from the factory, and thinks about half of the cars on the road in the oncoming lane are actually homicidal maniacs in my lane. My normal work around...

Hey guys, Just looking at their respective web sites, similar price, similar promises about ride and handling improvements... It looks like the Mountain Pass Performance system uses separate springs and shocks in the rear similar to the stock suspension system where the Unplugged Performance...

Hey guys, Just looking through some TeslaFi data and thought others may be interested. My daily commute is a hair over 26 miles each way, with a peak speed of 60 mph and average speed of 50 mph, so this is not a comparison of highway speed efficiency, it is significantly slower than highway...

Hey guys, I am in the mood for a road trip, and will have enough time off at the start of October to deliver my Model Y performance 21" Uberturbine wheels and tires anywhere in the lower 48 states that can be reached via Tesla Model Y performance. If you live more than 100 miles from a...

Hey guys, Full disclosure, I received these mudflaps from Tesla Shields for review, no compensation and the opinions here are my own, no script or suggestions from Tesla Shields. The mudflaps arrived yesterday and I immediately unboxed them to do a visual inspection. They looked very...

Hey guys, If you have upgraded your Model Y to coilovers and have your old shocks and springs cluttering up your garage drop me a line. I am interested in trying out the higher ride from the MY LR, thus almost completing my conversion to a non-PUP MYP :) Keith

Before my last update (2021.4.21.3) phantom braking was rare, a mild annoyance more than anything if I was driving alone, a major annoyance if my wife was in the car. Now, in broad daylight it is as hesitant as an 8 year old trying to drive while sitting on phone books to see over the dash, and...
