Great point. I agree. Most of the other versions of 19 covers are one direction which is nuts. There needs to be a right and left version so the airflow works on both sides.

Who gets loans for depreciating assets? (Rhetorical question, don't answer)
+1 for the Rimetrix covers. I had them ready to go when I picked up my Y today and they look 100000x better than the gemini covers. In-case it breaks the rules I won't post it directly here, but if anyone is interested in $20 off via my referral link (we both would get $20) just hit me up via DM.

The Gemini covers don’t appear to be directional based on a few pictures I’ve looked at. The only ones I see advertised as directional are these from Tsportline?

When I sold my M3P during the pandemic it was with the intention of buying a MYLR when prices returned to normal. Took longer than expected and then I waited to see what happened with Highland and I decided Juniper was not worth passing up the current deals. Saw a new Ultra Red MYP for 49,680 online and quickly ordered it. My delivery date is Tuesday and I'm excited to pick it up, but also nervous it might have a defect that would force me to cancel; if I do I'll probably snap up the Grey LR they have for 44,980. I was on the fence between the MYP and LR, the deciding factor was getting Ultra Red upgrade for essentially free. It's going to be a long Monday LOL
Now the question is do I PPF? I've never PPF'd a vehicle not even the M3P and was totally fine so I'm leaning towards no. Whats your thoughts on PPF?

I don't think I'm getting PPF. Did it on my Model 3 and there are parts where the rocks ripped the PPF on the lower bumper. I'm sure it protected my car's hood etc. but for the price the value isn't there IMHO. The only part I'm going to PPF is the back door area where rock chips hit the car. I've seen the PPF for 30 or 40 dollars on Amazon so I'm going to get that and install.When I sold my M3P during the pandemic it was with the intention of buying a MYLR when prices returned to normal.

Me neither, which is why I reserved it right away! We’re picking it up tomorrow, then we’ll be a two-Tesla household.

Yup! Model Y, the car so nice we bought it twice. If you want an EV they're very hard to beat for what you get for the money, especially with the tax credits we get here in Colorado on top of the Federal one.

Just picked up the MYP (Stealth Grey) this past weekend. I've had a MYLR+AB with the induction wheels for almost 2.5 years (not a single scratch other than a tiny chip from road debris).
A bit of advice -- Always be conscious of curbs, and turning radius. Never push it, better safe than sorry. If you try you can keep them looking new, it just takes a little effort. I've even parallel parked with 2" clearance on the old MYLR. I would never do that with the MYP, and would plan on 6" minimum for clearance. Or just don't PP.
Nice. may be doing the same….got a MYLR in January, and now thinking another MYLR or MYP …decisions decisions
My only concern is road trips with a two TSLA fam. I love my 3 SR around the city, but fam. likes to complain about SC for road trips with a ~190 mile range.
Also If I had an old FUSC to transfer I would do it, by justifying free SC, but current SC pricing is almost close to gas in some states.

I checked our typical road trips on ABetterRoutePlanner back when we were researching the first YLR and they all worked out great (on paper of course) so the Tesla was already our “road trip” car. But as always it all depends on where you want to go, what the charging situation is, and what your tolerance for stops is. For us the answer was Y.
Thanks for your opinion. I also feel it's not worth it and decided if it does get chip so bad I feel the need to paint it, I'd color wrap it. I'll look into the amazon thing.
I test drove a MYP yesterday evening. My word for the acceleration is savage. I could feel it in my neck when I buried the throttle from a stop. I’m amazed that the car can put down that much power without as much as chirping a tire. You can seemingly pull into the smallest of gaps and know that the car won’t let you down or slow down the person behind you. I actually found the throttle a little too enthusiastic in loose stop and go traffic, almost jumpy. It needs a normal LR level of power between chill and sport. I tried out the P brakes by doing some 0-60 runs and full brake to the floor. They stop well but there is a significant amount of ABS intervention on dry pavement.
The ride on the 21” wheels was ok, I was searching out rough road and potholes. I didn’t find the ride jarring or offensive. I didn’t get a chance to take it on the highway because it was rush hour in Boston so I can’t really judge the difference in noise.
I’m glad I drove it, but I think the LR makes more sense for my intended use.
I did take a close look at several new cars in different colors while I was there. Build quality and panel gaps were good on everything I looked at. I noticed some swirl marks on the bumpers of the gray cars, probably from buffing off minor scratches, they were very noticeable. White looked the cleanest and easiest to take care of. Currently the best deal in my area is 9% on gray, 10% on black, and 7% on white. For the $2K difference it makes me want to look into getting a gray car wrapped in urban camo of some sort.
The efficiency on my drive wasn’t good, I did a bunch of full throttle hits in that 5 miles.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on another MYLR this time a 2024 (obv) and Stealth Gray on White. The price was $44,990 or 10% off of MSRP plus the $1k additionally fore the white interior which was our target. Brand new, zero miles.
As an added bonus I submitted our 2023 w/over 20k miles on it and, much to my pleasant surprise, they're going to give me $31,500 for it. In our state, we'll save on the taxable amount between the trade-in and the new vehicle purchase so with that savings tacked on it's nearly $34k for our trade versus selling it outright. That's pretty solid and a couple grand more than I expected we'd see based on following some of the recent posts here from others w/similar vehicles they traded in the last few months.
$44,990 was the price after $5k discount. We'll get another $1k for the white interior making it $43,990 effectively. In our state, we've got a $5k EV tax credit plus the federal $7,500 one as well. That puts our purchase price at $31,400 before applicable tax & fees. Now, with that number in your head, refer back to the trade value we'll be getting for our 2023 w/over 20k miles.
We'd be crazy not to do it.
