    MyQ Subscription Issues

    I miss the simplicity of HomeLink too. If you’re not into paying for MyQ, you could try retrofitting an older HomeLink module from Tesla. It might be a bit of a hassle to install, but it works well and doesn’t require a subscription. Another option is setting up a smart garage opener that...

    Cigarette Lighter Power for 50W Ham Radio?

    So I’m thinking about hooking up my 50W mobile ham rig through the cigarette lighter socket. Anyone tried this? I'm worried about the total power draw being around 110W. Is this gonna fry my car's electrical system or what?

    Trim, doors, handles, camera covers for My Model Y

    I’m also not a fan of the black trim on my black car either. A black car looks so much classier with chrome. I thought about wrapping mine, but the custom shop said it wouldn’t hold up with Tesla's coating. If you’re thinking of swapping Model 3 chrome bits onto your Y, it’s worth checking their...

    Any Good Rim Protectors?

    Just scratched the rims on my 2022 Model Y from a pothole too :rolleyes: . It is not a good make having the rims stick out, making it easy for them to get damaged.

    Can You Use Model 3 Stuff on a Model Y?

    Hey man, so decking out your Model Y with cool accessories is a great idea, and while many accessories for the Model 3 might look better, it's a gamble whether they'll fit the Model Y. I also think things like center console wraps, cupholder liners, and some steering wheel covers should work...

    Where to find Model Y Black Spoiler?

    Performance Model Ys come with that sleek spoiler, but if you don’t have one, you can find it online at various stores. I bet you could score one there to get that look you’re vibing with.

    Rivian dashcam vs. Ring car cam

    I’ve compared them too. The Ring Car Cam’s footage is decent, but like you said, it’s not as sharp as the Blackvue. The Rivian dashcam really impressed me with its wide-angle coverage, it captures a lot more detail.

    Oh no, a rat buffet!:LOL: Hooking the ultrasonic repeller to the 12V could work. I’ve heard of people doing it with good results. Let us know how it goes.

    Tires & 20" induction wheels on Model Y

    I couldn't agree more, sticking with the recommended 42psi is a pretty smart move.

    Comfort suspension upgrades

    Yeah, the Model Y ride can feel stiff for sure. The Unplugged Performance comfort kit is popular, but you might also want to check out the Mountain Pass Performance comfort coilovers or the Redwood Motorsports kits. Both are good options for a smoother ride.

    Passenger seat flat mode?

    We both have the same struggle with fitting things in the car. A fully flat front seat would make life so much easier. If I figure out a mod to make it happen, I'll definitely share it here.

    Model Y USB Charging and TeslaCam Setup

    Yeah easy! To charge your phone while running TeslaCam, you can use the USB-C port under the front phone holder for charging, but remember you’ll need a USB 3 splitter if you want to plug in a thumb drive for the camera. This will help you keep your phone charged and still capture those TeslaCam...

    Sentry Mode on Model Y

    Yes, Sentry Mode will definitely use the battery when you park somewhere else, as it stays active to monitor your surroundings. It shouldn’t drain it too much, but if you're concerned, you can always turn it off when you know you won’t need it

    Keeping 12V fridge working on a road trip

    Since this post has been up for a while, you might have already gone on your trip, but I wanted to share my thoughts. That 12V fridge is a fantastic addition! Just a quick reminder: avoid running it in enclosed spaces like the trunk with the cover closed, as it can overheat. Also, keeping the...

    I installed a 12V LED behind the handle, and it took a bit of effort, so it might not be for everyone. :D But hey, it was cheap and it works great!

    They only light up when you slow down a lot, kind of like when you hit the brakes.
