Will send you refurb bill if it's no use lol. Just bought a tin. My car was literally just out of the paint shop when it had a tiny wee dink. I used masking tape and sprayed with a black paint. When I peeled the masking tape off the glue had somehow reacted with the exisiting paint and took a bit more off.Yes blends in really nicely.

and maybe give the surface to be masked a wipe with rubbing alchohol.

I notice that this is the anniversary week
...... it's a moot point.
. I believe part of the fun for her, has been handling the, sometimes quite ridiculous, concerns raised by her misinformed friends regarding EVs in general and Tesla in particular. "Since when" she wonders " did my friends ever show such interest in a car- even their own.
I was thinking just how time fly's when you are having fun.
Go Team Red Busterboy!I was thinking just how time fly's when you are having fun.
Yes a full year almost passed since I received my MYLR on 1st July 2022 and cannot praise it enough.
Only changes I have made is adding "Acceleration Boost" enhancing the 0 - 60 time (yes you can feel the difference) and changing the original 20" Induction wheels for a brand new set of 19" Gemini's for the reasons below.
The 20" Inductions look simply amazing and hold the road really well BUT!!!!! They are simply a kerb magnet choose how hard you try, they are the first to rub the kerb, not the tyre. Yes you can say keep away from the kerbs but in my line of work parking in the pitch black sometimes in strange cul-de-sacs dropping clients off it's hard to be perfect all the time before anyone criticizes.
Comfort is noticeably better with the 19" Gemini's and you certainly get at least an extra 10 miles range on a full charge, not always needed but it's there.
Spent £26 on a new set of wiper blades and can hand on heart say that is the only expense I have had on wear & tear in 12 months other than the new wheels & tyres when I did the swap.
Done a whole lot of mileage in my first year (as seen below 46,626) but in my line of business only to be expected. Can do from Harrogate to both Heathrow & Gatwick direct without stopping to charge which is a massive bonus over what my previous Model S achieved.
White interior is just as good as the day it arrived... Yes baby wipes do the job perfect.
No creaks or stupid rattles which tells me they are pretty well built choose who say's different.
One last change / improvement I did was paint my brake callipers red just two weeks ago. Not really needed but it works for me.
Hope everyone else is enjoying their car as much as I love mine.

Come on Watty those are rookie numbers and you really need to pump them up.
17.8k on Barry in a year. Everything just as good as the day I collected, not a rattle, not a squeak, has been totally reliable and hugely pleasant to drive each and every day. Lots to like about the vehicle, and hardly anything "wrong" barring very rare niggles, which you get in any vehicle. Mrs U is now a complete convert, and we're likely to be replacing her 500e in another couple of months with another Y (Midnight Silver this time; Mrs U's choice of both colour and vehicle).I notice that this is the anniversary week
for the Class of Q2 2022.
How time flies; it seems, if not quite like yesterday, then certainly not like a year ( tomorrow) since SWMBO and I, after that " one more sleep to collection", clapped joyous eyes on Lizzie for the first time.
Today, after a modest and thankfully, largely uneventful 6,444 miles, that first-sight joy has not diminished but rather, by time and familiarity, has settled into that post- novelty ongoing satisfaction which I hope is replicated among m'Q2 mates.
Recently,whilst enjoying the hospitality of Tesla Cardiff ( so good to charge at a SC), we fell into conversation with a nice couple who had an iD4 on order but were belatedly checking out the Y. By the time we charged from 20% to 85%, they had cancelled the VW and ordered a Y for........"immediate delivery"! I know!
And yet, would I have missed that Class of Q2 experience with all its lively TMC banter and helpful information exchange for near instant gratification
Now then...... SWMBO, never one to over sentimentalise " cars" and usually impervious to my cost justification rantings e.g. " But it's not just a car!" was, and continues to be quite taken with Lizzie and hardly ever mentions the Beamer
So, one year in, how has it been for you Q2 ers? Of course, we know about Toblerone, we have commiserated and hope his Y will soon be relaunched.
I know Tobes; shameful mileage. Once was the time....... yawn yawn!
I'll see your rookie 11687 and raise you 17.8k.
Excellent!
P.S. A confession to the pitch black cul-de-sac cruiser: I have managed to scuff TWO of my Gems and I am hardly ever to be found in dark alleyways ( nowadays)I was thinking just how time fly's when you are having fun.
