Last week I bought the $41 Amazon front lip solution and install it. The installation is very easy. Just to be on the safe side, I used a small heat gun to warm (NOT to heat) the bumper and the glue strip for a minute of two. It holds well on both sides of the bumper, and I even left my Y on a...

I received my 2023 Modal Y just 9 days after I placed my order- compared with 18 months (550 days) waiting for my 2018 Model 3. There were many reasons for choosing the M-Y, such as size, volume, legroom, comfort, longer charge/range and other published specifications. But beyond the specs, the...

We are just back from a 2,000 mile trip which included several National Parks in Arizona. In fact, the plan was to also include visiting parks in Utah and California but we decided not to, as the Superchargers distribution leading to those parks was insufficient to build our confidence and...

Musk announced 10% staff layoff. At the same time he noted: "... this does not apply to anyone actually building cars, battery packs or installing solar [which is about half of the total employees]". My question is- how will affect the availability and quality of Tesla's service? does it apply...

A Bosnian fan of both Ford trucks and Elon Musk's Tesla could not just sit on his hands waiting for the electric carmaker to release its Cybertruck, expected from late 2021. Instead he came up with his own version of the futuristic vehicle. It took eight months for IT specialists and engineers...

I have equipped my (pretty tall) Galaxy Note-9 cellphone with "Wsken Magnetic USB Type C Cable – Android Charger adapter". I love the convenience, but using this adopter in my phone, makes it impossible to just lay the phone in my Tesla Model-3 tray, for charging on the go. It is just too tall...
