    the MYLR is not designed nor built as a luxury sports vehicle. it was designed and built for the mass market, everyday daily commute. The Highland M3P might be more what you're looking for.

    LFP v’s NCA… and the winner is…

    Texas heat

    this week the cabin temp got up to 134'F even with cabin protect fan only on, while checking the app around 2pm at work. the cabin protect usually keeps the temp around 119'F. the past two days the vanity mirror had fallen out when I got off work. i guess the adhesive got soft and lost its grip?

    Spare tire - Modern vs StanceMagic vs Tsportline

    yes, you will use whatever lug nuts are on your car. if you have stock/factory wheels, then when you put on the Modern Spare, you would use the larger/wider holes. if you have aftermarket wheels, then when you put on the Modern Spare, you would use the smaller/narrower holes.

    Spare tire - Modern vs StanceMagic vs Tsportline

    I haven't noticed any additional noise or rattles. the most difficult part was pushing and folding back the padding, its fairly thick and rigid. i believe both sets of holes are 5x114.3, the narrower set is aftermarket and the wider set are factory size.

    Might Tesla Not Do End of Quarter Discounts, If they're Decreasing Production Instead?
