    BYD hybrid can supply power for appliances, MX should have similar feature?

    Some places report DC-DC inverter with a fuse of 250 amps. So can assume it can generate 3kW. Can't any definitive reports of people using 2k, 2.5k or 3kW inverters.

    VInyl Scuff & Scratch on Interior B-Pillar

    You can use CarPro Pearl or Chemical Guys VRP to restore the plastic, vinyl, rubber. For the interior cloth you can use CarPro Inside (also good for leather) and a small brush to clean it, then wipe it off with a microfiber towel. Almost every brand has products like that. I like CarPro and...

    First post: recommendations for appropriate color tint (windows)

    Congrats on your new Tesla! 65% is pretty light, wont even notice much, if you are just looking for heat rejection should be ok, otherwise would go for 50%. Mine is 70% in the front and you can’t tell there is a tint. Sides 35% which is nice, 15% in the back.

    PPF, Ceramic Coating, Window Tinting

    It cost $900. Its last 3+ years. Its not the top of the line but was the best for my budget. Called Modesta BC-08. Covered all painted parts, door jambs, glass, rim, rim barrels and calipers. It covered full front bumper, full fenders, hood and side mirrors. Feels the same, but there is...
