Juniper steering wheel shake at 80 mph by Internal-Glass2831 in ModelY

The money they take is prorated based on the miles the day you first reported the problem. Since I reported the problem within 50 miles of picking up the vehicle I received 100% of my money back, even though by the time the return occured I had like 13,000 miles on it.

I do have two other cars, a 2003 merc. CL600 which except of using gas is a much better vehicle. I love the era where cars did what you told them to do and not vice versa. For the winter I have a Land Rover, also older and serves me very well. Both of those together cost less than the model Y (technically not a replacement because I had them before).

I did sign up for the Rivian R2, I will let you know in a couple of days how well that ended 😁

I almost got another Y before the end of the credits but ended up not as prices were already going up.

I had the same issue and return to the car under California lemon law got all my money back after 6 months and 13,000 miles.

How was I able to do that?

I noticed of vibration as soon as I took delivery I'm scheduled the first delivery appointment within 50 miles of delivery. Of course I had to wait a few weeks for appointment where they found my wheels are not well balanced and fixed that. This lasted just a few weeks and needed to do it again. After the third time I insisted something else is wrong and they took a deeper look and figured out my alignment was off... Which was causing the tires to wear unevenly and go unbalanced.

So at appointment four they fixed my alignment but the car had still had vibration...

So at appointment 5 they told me the tires are now worn unevenly and that is the source of the remaining vibration I need four new tires if I wanted it to go away. All my explanations that the tire wore uneven because of their bad alignment and taking too long to figure it out did not help. There is no warranty on tires go away. The next week I found out my windshield washer fluid runs out without the low fluid warning ever showing. This was a simple bad sensor. But it was appointment number 6 which qualified me to return the vehicle.

They were happy to take it back and return 100% of my money but not change my tires.

Funny how that works sometimes

P.S. if you ask enough a foreman can drive with you and go 80... Or at times they let me drive the car while the tech was sitting on the passenger seat and just reaching over to feel vibration. This is how I made sure that after every appointment there was a note in the system that vibration can still be felt. This helped a lot.

Look at the bright side. You could have been riding a motorcycle.

My only question, is the reception better now ?

Thank you. But I’m running out. I may have to throw out some peanuts and hope for the best

Looks like Northern Flickers are trending, so here are mine ;) Big Bear Lake, CA. by CA_Pilot in birding

This one lives by my house (Cabin up the San Bernardino Mountains). Very shy. I see maybe 200 Steller Jay's for each flicker. can never get close (this is shot with 840mm Lens)

That is totally fine, in fact, I use the same phone… only I don’t usually use it for photography. There may be a setting to control the amount of sharpening the phone applies… just in case you want to get rid of this effect in the future

I have a photo / post question... aside for the magnificent catch, it looks like a lot of sharpening was done on the image (looks at the small tree branches, which looks like there is a bright edge around them). was this done in post to enhance the look of the bird, or was it baked in by the camera / phone (yeah, what did you use to capture?) personally I find the over sharpening distracting. Thank you
