    Black and white plates

    It's a choice. Painting or wrapping just gives the CHP a reason to pull you over, similar to no front plate. Depending on where you are in the state these items matter. Los Angles parking meter readers will ticket you for no front plate, and bored CHP officers on the 395 will pull you over for...

    Two choices, pick your poison. Digital ~ Black and White or Black and Yellow ~ California 1960s Legacy

    Model Y Performance 21" Tires - Larger, More Comfortable Fitment Details and Experience - Michelin AS4's (With Photos)

    I have not been able to find any speed or performance data with this setup. It would be interesting to see how much it slowed down and any range loss.

    Finger stuck in door

    Classic Munchausen syndrome. Are you sure you weren't just wanting attention? I see this in the ER all of the time. So your daughter got the attention when she did it and then you felt left out? I am sure your husband will be watching more closely. :eek: Perhaps some life rules you were not...

    New Model Y Tail lights?

    Sensei says "You have not yet tried hard enough Grasshopper" The pins in the harness are removeable and moveable therefore you can you can move the pin to the outer position and add a new pin to the center position.

    New Model Y Tail lights?

    Give it up already. Just run a wire from the side turn signals (repeaters) to the amber connection in the rear lights. Thereby adding the 4th pin connection. There is no magical software update Tesla can do without changing the wire harness and I assure you that Tesla will never swap/rewire...

    Cancelled Y Reservation for S Long Range

    May sound silly? Say it isn't so...it's somewhat similar to people here in California selling a 1.5 mil house and advertising that it has ceiling fans in the bedrooms? Really, people will base their purchase of a 1.5 mill house on a couple of 200 dollar Home Depot specials? "Oh honey, this is...

    Returned MY Today

    Well, carefully pondering your questions... From a British perspective. I do not consider a chip in the paint quite the same as uncooked filet minion or a poor steak and kidney pie; now if the car did not run, maybe the AC was making some horrific noise then I would defiantly not accept the...

    Returned MY Today

    Maybe some people should not have kids if this kind of thing causes grief in ones life. You are not the only person that has kids, learn to handle it and move on. Seriously, look at the big picture. I can imagine the house buying. "But what I did find was that the window wiper had a massive...

    Returned MY Today

    I like my Tesla...not perfect but what is? I will be buying others. I just get tired of people complaining of quality issues. Get the problem fixed and enjoy it. No car is perfect. Tired of the whining. Once the minor problems are fixed it will be more reliable than the other cars you have...

    Looking for perfection...I can appreciate it but...minor things. Please don't buy another Tesla just buy an Audi and it will look pretty but you just wait. Or better yet buy a Toyota or Honda..

    The Y rear is ugly

    When I look at a Y I think of it as the Model 3's chunky monkey sister. She is kinda pretty...but compared to her sister? Just look at them together, seriously? Someone has to speak the truth Scooters? Chicks? I'm trying to remember...help me here. (I'm going to hear s*** about this, I know...

    Looks like what you are looking for: Mild Springs provide a comfort-focused ride for those who want a more luxurious ride without reducing ground clearance for off-road use.

    MY order and battery day.

    Tesla has recently updated its Chinese online design studio and it now shows 635 km (395 miles) of range for the Made-in-China Model 3 Performance version, announced in April and scheduled for Q1 2021...so if you can wait till next year

    Okay, bloody wonderful, everyone is happy. No hard feeling all around? How nice. By the posts it sounds like both are really excited and first time Tesla buyers. That is great. We want more buyers to improve the product. This is the internet, someone will read your post and get offended and...

    Ryan Shaw got his Model Y detailed and ceramic-coated

    You should consider Dynamat since you will probably want it as quiet as a Maxima (at a steady 70 mph we measured 66 decibels) also. It will kill some of the excess road noise. How did you get it to $75K?

    Ryan Shaw got his Model Y detailed and ceramic-coated

    Look it over if there is something you don't like get it fixed. Then drive it for the next 3 to 10 years, sell it and move on. Its just a normal car. I see a lot of people spending a bunch of time and money to fix something they will not even own in three years. This is not a 1955 300SL or a...

    I want a Metallic Silver please Elon

    Doesn't have to be the old silver but something very close perhaps with more luster. I think it would look clean and nice with the blacked out trim and Induction wheels. Ponder it please. Enough said. (Hint: Mercedes Diamond Silver Metallic?) PS Anyone want to Photoshop it for Elon?

    Model Y Wash and Coat

    PPF will never look as nice as a good paint job. Now you can get a wrap and have that wrap painted to look good, but why? Only if you don't like the original color. If anyone thinks that they are going to get any more for their used car with the wrap they are awfully hopeful. One has to...

    Tesla will support wifi garage opener soon

    I believe that the Homelink should still be included with the vehicle as is done with most other manufactures, The problem I have with Chamberlain's MyQ is that it only works for two garage doors at one home when I last checked 6 months ago. One could always use Nexx which works with all garage...

    Model Y INCLUDES Wireless Mobile Phone Charger

    Following that logic the rear heated seats will be going away...maybe the entire rear seat. And since few use the frunk on a regular basis because of the problem with closing it...bye-bye frunk. ;) If someone has a garage they will use it, if not they won't. No one is going to put a clicker...

    Model Y INCLUDES Wireless Mobile Phone Charger

    I would agree. I would also point out that I can not think of any other car manufacturer that does not include Homelink as standard equipment in any vehicle costing over 40k. If they all do it then one would think that Tesla would. It's just cost cutting...not a problem. Tesla is just looking at...

    Model Y INCLUDES Wireless Mobile Phone Charger

    And no one is not going to buy a Tesla because it does not have wireless charging. As evidenced by the 1 million sold. As I pointed out it is a cost saving thing. It is far cheaper to put in a weak wireless charger for 7 dollars than a Homelink system. So we agree, good. "Even though most newer...

    Model Y INCLUDES Wireless Mobile Phone Charger

    Perhaps, but I find that hard to believe here in the US. Instead you might consider that they found that most people do use it and that when not installed by the factory they are willing to pay the $300 to have it installed because they see it as a necessity. Why do they include it on the Model...

    Model Y INCLUDES Wireless Mobile Phone Charger

    Road noise!

    I would agree that it is a nice car but it is not luxury car quiet inside the cabin, far from it. Take a drive in a Lexus, Mercedes, Audi, Camry or Accord and you will understand. I have only 35k on mine and every time I drive it I enjoy it but...always wonder why they did not insulate the road...

    Road noise!

    We can hope but I'm betting money was spent on better "fart sounds" than on sound deadening or ride comfort. Sad to say that an Accord is quieter with an ICE.

    Tesla Y Pictures - Interior and Exterior

    So... 1. No HomeLink (clicker on visor, really?) 2. No trailer hitch (maybe Euro version) 3. Not quieter than Model 3 4. No retractable panel shelf 5. Betting the larger cell phones don't fit the charger space (S20 Ultra, I Phone 11 Pro Max) Not deal breakers but disappointments. 1-3 more...

    Front license plate holder

    Stock...why not? Trying to think if I would ever want no front plate on this car? Nope, looks like it got punched in the face with that big frontal plane and not plate breaking up the space. I do not believe I will get one dollar more if I sell it without the factory plate holder in place...

    Truckla - Model 3 Pickup

    Silly girl, what a short and small bed that is good for...nothing? Reminds me of this baby Chevy. Now Mike over at EV West and his Model S pickup is a better size. Oh and yes, his was back in March or April of this year so news outfits need to do their homework.

    Will Tesla punish their supporters, or refund $3,000?

    Perhaps, but is the time frame is the difference? If I order a Samsung Galaxy 10 now, and as a pre-order I get 100 dollars off and free ear buds. I am told that the price will go up to full list price in the future. This is true and I accept it as such. What I am not told is that within 6 months...

    Will Tesla punish their supporters, or refund $3,000?

    So, to the people that think they got overcharged. Do you feel the same way when the fridge you purchased goes on sale for $400 dollars off the two weeks after you bought it? Do you feel the same way when the phone you purchased last year goes on sale 6 months later at 40% off? You must feel...

    Rear license plate screw stripped?

    I found the simple way to remove the offending screw is to use a knife with two prongs, insert it between the plate and the plastic insert, with the fork on either side of the screw. Twist slightly which will provide pressure to the plate and also to the plastic insert. Yes, the inserts are...

    potential phone key fix (or at least partial solution) for android
