I saw a thread about PPF a while ago, cant seem to find the link, but anyway I recently did a DIY PPF on mine and it's definitely tricky, but take your time and work in small sections. I got my PPF from XPEL and I remember how a heat gun and lots of soapy water were my best friends, literally...

I'm so pumped for the Model Y too! I've seen a few spy shots floating around, but not much on exact wheel/tire specs yet. That T Sportline guide is solid for now, though.

I've got a gray MYP and I’ve been thinking about adding a red stripe to the wheels too. Haven't tried painting tires, but it sounds like a cool throwback. Maybe rim protectors could be an easier option? Don't you think? I'd love to hear how yours turns out.

I’ve got a 2023 Performance Y too, and I went through the same audio upgrade stress. I used a Helix processor and double-checked the amp could handle 16v to avoid those bootup issues. From my little experience , I will recommend you getting a pro who knows Tesla quirks, especially with that...

I didn't have any issues when I switched to an aftermarket setup on my MYP and added TPMS sensors, I will recommend checking out Rimetrix for rims and Pirelli Sottozero tires for a budget-friendly option.

That’s super weird, it sounds like it could be a wiring or power issue with the new lights. You can try finding out which specific one is causing the glitch by swapping the lights back one by one.

Okay it’s quiet tricky, one way around it is to use your phone’s speaker for Waze alerts while keeping Tesla’s system for music. You can try lowering your phone volume for everything but Waze, so the alerts still come through without messing with your music. It is worth a shot.

I haven't tried the Hankook iON EVO AS tires, but is what you say is true, they can have my money! I’d love to hear how they hold up over time though.

Nice score on those 19" wheels! I remember when I spent on new tires, and my wallet cried louder than my car's horn! :LOL: As for the wheel size setting, definitely switch it to 19", it’ll help with accuracy on things like mileage and speed.

If you want a sportier look and better handling, stick with the 21s, but if you prioritize comfort and a smoother ride, downsizing to 20s could be the way to go.

Imagine having navigation and media playing side by side so much easier to multitask. Tesla please make this happen 😭

That's true! It’s great to have live traffic updates and streaming, but that monthly fee can add up fast. If you're on long drives a lot, it might be worth it, but why spend so much when there are some free alternatives 🤷‍♂️

I took mine off too, and it looked way cooler. I did notice a small drop in range on long trips, though. I ended up getting some aftermarket covers to keep the look and help with efficiency.

Mismatched wheels at 20k miles? I’d be concerned about safety, especially with how it might affect handling or wear. Before taking that discount, maybe double-check if there’s been any impact on alignment or performance.

Man, I feel your pain, when I did my first PPF, I had air bubbles everywhere, it looked like my car had chickenpox. Haha. I gave up and had a pro handle the bumper. Bug guts are like nature’s way of mocking our hard work, right? Honestly, heat helps a bit, but if it’s already driving you nuts...

I’d go for MYLR with the boost, it’s like the best of both worlds for me, quick and comfy, and what is better is that, you’ll save cash and still get great performance.

Your Tesla is a mobile greenhouse :ROFLMAO:. One concern I’ve seen is with all that glass, the interior can still get pretty warm because heat radiates in from all angles. Have you tried checking the cabin overheat protection or maybe going for a more heat-rejecting film?

Thanks @Bruno, a test fit is important

Ah, that makes sense now! It's like when your dad got on you for the brake lights coming on while you were just coasting. You wouldn't want someone tailing you and bumping into you just because you're relaxing on the accelerator. That regen braking is all about safety, letting folks know you're...

Exactly! It feels like they’re turning it into a guessing game instead of making it easier for us.
