Please reply back with how you feel after you curb your first MYP Uberturbine wheel!

Pissed as Heck. I yelled at my wife, two days after buying the car. I bought a sand and paint kit fixed the curbing she did, then the next day I did it. Its unavoidable. But the online sanding and touchup kits work great.

As someone who once bought two of the same cars (2014 Ford Mustang GTs) for the wife and I, it eventually turns into wishing you got something different for one of them even if they are awesome cars. Good choice on the colors though, easily the best two Tesla colors IMO.

Austin or Fremont builds? I am buying an MYLR when the Juniper rolls out, I think I'd prefer an Austin build.

What's the advantage of an Austin build?

Our 2022 was Fremont and one I got last Friday was Austin. I can't think of any difference except parcel shelf and now HW4 but I believe Fremont is HW4 now too.

I found the shelf much more annoying and in the way than helpful so put in storage.

Yeah I wondered on that. I've thought of getting the same vehicle with a few we really like (2014 BMW x5, model Y, upcoming Rivian R1S).

With ICE vehicles I always thought it could help a lot if it was an older vehicle I did significant maintenance on, then its only one vehicle I have to learn and may be able to share a number of parts. Brake pads, rotors, filters, spark plugs, suspension, fluids, etc.

But with an EV thats much less of an issue as theres just not much to maintain outside Tires/Brake fluid which really doesn't matter having the same vehicle.

Unless it's changed in last few months. MYP is always built in Fremont.

I don't think this is correct, when Austin was ramping I believe it was much more MYP built there than MYLR. Also why some MYLR from Austin have a performance rear motor.

What’s the difference in build locations ?

I haven't seen it discussed, I probably missed it, but my 23 MYP came with Michelin tires that have a rubber edge that protrudes about an eighth of an inch past the rims. My 21 MYLR did not have that little bit of protection. I don't know how much it'll help if I contact a curb but I appreciate the little detail.

My wife was not deterred by these attempts at protection. She saw their rubber edge and raised them seven or eight curb rashes on all four wheels.
