I’ve been digging into options for snow tires for the Model Y, knowing that winter’s just around the corner and I want to be fully prepared. The OEM 19" size (255/45R19 104) seems like the right move to stick with, as I’d rather not experiment too much with different sizing, especially when it...
Adding extra lighting sounds awesome. I’ve heard great things about the Rigid Industries light bars, they are super bright and durable. And of course, you can check Amazon too.
The auto wipers can be hit or miss, and relying on a camera instead of a dedicated rain sensor makes it a bit tricky. It would be great if Tesla prioritized that feature for improvement, who doesn’t want wipers that actually keep up with the weather?
I haven't personally noticed any significant battery drain with Sentry Mode. It seems pretty manageable for me, but I usually only use it when I know I’ll be away for a bit.
Yeah, the auto wipers aren’t great because there’s no real rain sensor. They’re just using the camera to guess how fast to run the wipers, and since it’s a low priority for Tesla, I doubt they’re working on improving it. I might be wrong though
Traffic for navigation, streaming capabilities, and satellite imagery for maps are the main benefits. Do you think you'll use those features enough to make the extra cost worth it?
I've only tried the 2.0" Mountain Pass Performance lift kit, and it doesn’t significantly impact the range. The car handles similarly, but I appreciate that it doesn’t scrape on everything. It might be a few percent less efficient, but I prefer not dragging on the ground.
If you're considering...
My friend recently wrapped his console and found it fairly simple. He suggests 3M kits because they are the best and easiest to work with. They are very forgiving and dont wrinkle, allowing for simple repositioning and reapplication to correct any mistakes.
