    Does anyone have the Rivian suv?

    Thanks for the write up. Rivian doesn’t have a self driving system and may not have for years to come. Their Driver + only works on select highways and it is not 100% reliable either. Reddit and Rivianforums.com has loads of threads on this topic. While Tesla FSD is far from perfect, it is...

    Model Y comfort suspension?

    I ordered these parts for my 2021 MYP thru tesla service: Rear: 1188465-00-F Right Front: 1188376-00-F Left Front: 1188371-00-F Tesla will not install these parts. You’ll have to find a local installer.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    The purchase price should be under $80k for Model Y. I believe both 5 and 7, LR and P qualify for tax credit.

    Clunking sounds on rear suspension when accelerating / decelerating or flexing frame

    My 2021 MYP has this issue. I hear clicking sound from right rear when I accelerate or break. It’s been in service since 3 days now. I was told that they are replacing subframe and waiting on parts. ETA for repair is 7 days.

    Question regarding used MYP purchase

    Hello - I am looking for an advise. I am considering purchasing a used 2021 MYP (w/FSD) with 44k miles for $58k. This will be a personal car and occasionally I might list it on Turo to rent it out. My question is regarding mileage. I might end up adding 15k miles per year and I plan to keep...

    Radarless Driving Report? Anyone?

    For comparison, I drove from NJ to Maine yesterday in on and off heavy rain and very low visibility. Used AP throughout the trip with zero AP disengagement. I took delivery in June 2020 and my car has radar.
  14. vinny84

    No more radar in Model Y/3

    I am speculating here. If their experiment with vision only doesn’t yield same or better results compared to vision + radar, I see them retrofitting radar unit in cars in 2022. Nevertheless I feel this is a one heck of a smart move to get around part shortage. Bravo!

    Impossible to Remove Stain/Mark on White Seats

    HIlls Made Wood Veneer for M3?

    On their website they claim due to high demand their shipping times are 6 to 8 weeks and yet they say their products are made to order. Why would they wait for an order to produce when their products are in high demand?!? And from what I am seeing, they are spending good money on google Ads...

    HIlls Made Wood Veneer for M3?

    From what I understood, they are still in prototype phase. Images on their website seems to be photoshopped. A friend ordered their center console cover back in December and yesterday he was notified about delay and was told to expect the shipment in March. I am waiting to see initial reviews of...

    Would Anyone Like to Swap White Seats for Black in NY/NJ/CT?

    I have a 2020 Model Y with black seats. Took delivery in June 2020. Car has 10,000 miles. No pets and I do not smoke. I live in central NJ. I will pay $1500 and cover the installation charges at Tesla SC. Please send DM if interested.

    Switch to white OEM seats on a MY

    When I took the delivery back in June 2020, MY with white interior was $56k. And to qualify for NJ state $5K rebate, the purchase price had to be under $55K and so I had to go with black interior. Tesla dropped the price of MY by $3k sometime in August.

    Switch to white OEM seats on a MY

    As a reference for folks looking to buy the white seats from Tesla, they quoted me $6431.37 to replace the black seats with white for MY (just the seats, no trims). Parts - $5710, Labor - $321.75, Tax - $399.62. I am waiting to get a white vinyl sample from leatherseats.com. If the sample...

    Switch to white OEM seats on a MY

    Did anyone switch from the black to OEM white seats on a MY/M3? I am in NJ and wondering if I can buy seat covers from Tesla and have a local upholstery shop do the switch. I am not interested in Taptes or Xipoo (amazon) covers. Katzkin and Tsportline do not offer OEM white color. Folks who...

    Is front hood gap "within spec" ?

    Post delivery my car needed 5 service visits (5 months) to address all delivery issues. Sigh. Out of 5 visits, they tried to align the hood in 4 visits (3 different service centers in NJ). Here is how it looks now. Not 100% perfect yet. I finally gave up.

    Door creak when windows fully closed

    I washed the car and cleaned the rubber seals before applying the protectant. I applied it on the sides where the door glass rests and let it dry in sun for 30 mins. I do see light streaks on the sides where protectant was applied. No big deal as it is only visible when the doors are open. It...

    Where to mount an E-ZPass in a Model Y

    I used a leather case to hide it. And used plasti dip on the back of the ezpass. It is barely noticeable from outside.
