Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

[Gigaron]

That doesn’t look to be a standard Tesla wheel open for the Y... is that a Model S wheel they had on display? (I’m also very surprised Tesla allowed that in the store!)

No idea what the display wheel is, but he said that Tesla asked him to do it. Just didn’t look right on my car.

It seems like you should switch sides based on the charge port locations!

I like blue butts and I cannot lie...

It seems like you should switch sides based on the charge port locations!

Two reasons they are like that:
1. We enter the garage between the cars and it’s easy to grab the cable and put it back on the wall.

2. My Powerwalls are on the other side of the right wall so the Tesla power supply has to be on that side for the shortest wire run. It’s connected directly to the Powerwall distribution panel.

Oh wait, was this not in the Tesla store?

Got my baby’s toenails painted — Powder-coated Geminis. I have matching lugnut covers which I’ll pop on tomorrow. Cost $195/wheel.

And the dealer had this sample painted in matching deep metallic blue;

Wheels look really good. Just curious is that a gloss black finish? Also for center caps do those have a white or silver logo? White seems to be a bit easier to find online but IMO doesn't seem to look as nice. Currently debating between gunmetal or black powder coat for my Gemini winter set. Interested to see the finished package you've got (lug caps, tires dressed). Thanks for sharing.

Finally snapped a few quick pics after getting it PROPERLY detailed (had to get the ridiculous swirls out from when I picked it up - my detailer thought it wasn't new, it was so badly swirled). Such a gorgeous color, it's amazing.

Here is mine right after a detail and ceramic. I plan on powder coating the Geminis to match the door handles/trim this winter when i have my winter wheels/tires on

Awesome. Appreciate what a pro detailer can do to make questionable factory finish look great.

Here's mine. First picture was delivery day on Sept 21. Not without its flaws.

Recently had PPF and tint done. VA laws suck so had to do 35% front and kept the rear shade the same.

We got our Y tinted on Friday - Expel XR Plus 35% front, 55% rear/hatch, and had the center console wrapped in Expel PPF matte at Dynamic Tint in AZ. It turned out awesome! We're going to wait until next summer to see if we need the roof or windshield tinted since we're starting to cool down. It would have been the same price to do it now or later, so we figured we'd split the cost and do it later if we feel we need it.

I washed it today and use Hydrosilix Rewind and Recharge ceramic coating. There are a few areas that probably could have used a professional paint correction, but I'm very happy how it turned out, especially for the cost. I only paid $9.99 shipping for a few samples using their wipes. Very easy to apply!

Note: the center console was a little dirty, doesn't normally have the streak on it.

Nice!
I did the windshield of my blue Model 3 with XPEL 50%. No regrets at all; no issues at night at all. I love it. It makes a huge difference (both in AZ and also in MN summers). Note that I have the white seats and the white dash, so I really needed to tone those down for the sunny days, and the windshield tint made a HUGE difference.
One warning though: if you have to replace your windshield someday, re-tinting will cost you again (insurance companies will not cover tint replacement for windshields).
Also, for the roof (specifically in the summers) get one of the removable shades. I really like mine. It really helps on the hot days, but you can remove it and enjoy the view in the winters.

Is that a matte PPF on it? And where are the roof rails from?

No ppf. Roof rack from Tesla.
