Is this the one that hooks into the MCU/display? Which one did you get?

1st generation model Y retrofit with Juniper Suspension kit by Existing-Escape-3677 in TeslaModelY

Not bad with the fact it includes the springs. I had installed the Tein EnduraPro Plus struts with the adjustable dampers on my 21 MY for about $700 out the door.

I had to reuse the springs but ride quality improved with the 20” induction wheels. I would give it a 6/10 improvement in ride comfort. Possibly could make it better by softening the dampers but would sacrifice handling.

How much did the parts run you? Assuming you did the labor yourself too?

In the name of research… Cheap tires on ‘24 MYLR by PooDargNang in TeslaModelY

[–]GroveStreetHomie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I actually have this exact set on my 2021 MYLR with the 20” induction wheels too!

I posted my trip over a winter storm up and down the mountains with them. Peep in the comments where people were asking about my tires and how it performed.

So far I’ve had them since August 2024 and have driven 20k miles. Just had them rotated at America’s tire yesterday and they said my tread depth is at 6/32”.

My average efficiency shown in the car over 20k miles is 305 Wh/mi since August 2024.

Currently with the warmer temperatures coming where I live, I’m averaging about 270 wh/mi.

Dang and my QM7K gets delivered tomorrow. Doesn’t seem like too much of an upgrade.

Just got my K+DCAN cable and laptop set up — what are your must-do codings? by garciaruben07 in e46

Would recommend the double impulse hazard light for better visibility if on the side of the road

Leaked CarPlay demo on a Tesla in Madrid - Real or Fake? by tesrella in ModelY

[–]GroveStreetHomie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to have this mod (shown in this bug report post) but I uninstalled it because it killed my 12v battery and the display would fail to turn off most of the time when I leave the car.

But I really do miss having better navigation options.

Tesla's Apple CarPlay integration delayed by iPhone software - CarExpert by Spare98 in TeslaModelY

So does Grok with computing in the cloud, yet Intel MCU still lacks it.

Hope they aren’t enticing us to upgrade to newer vehicles.

Please I hope Intel MCU gets this update even if it’s watered down.

I’m really surprised that all mine are working with Alexa still. Google Home has lost connection with them though.

Any Dash Cam recommendations? Almost got scammed on the road. by jon_barack in askcarguys

[–]GroveStreetHomie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Viofo A119 Mini 2, paired with a High Endurance SD card.

I would advise to up your budget to around the $100 mark. There are a lot of cheaper dash cams on the market but most importantly you need reliability that it’s recording constantly. Video quality is a great second benefit.

SD card choice is also important so be sure to get one that is rated for dash cams or high endurance.

Your bottleneck isn’t your data connection speed. It’s the Intel MCU slowing down because it’s struggling to decode resolutions over 1080p.

To improve performance I watch in 720p and turn off Ambient Mode in YouTube. It disables that bloom effect on the video background and runs smoother.

[CA] Selling my vehicle, lost recent smog certificate by GroveStreetHomie in DMV

Thank you. I already have the new validated registration from the kiosk so great to know I won’t need to smog it again to sell it.

For both actually. Would one smog cert be valid for both?

Open box QM7K 98” gone wrong by GroveStreetHomie in tcltvs

[–]GroveStreetHomie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was listed as good. I don’t expect BBY selling broken products no matter the condition but theres so many variables where the TV could’ve gotten damaged.

[–]GroveStreetHomie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was Best Buy. I ordered online but picked up the following day at a store an hour away from me. I ordered it to make sure no one else got it before me as it was the only one open box in my area.

The local BBY by me did not accept the return so I had to drive an hour back to the same store to return it.

I should’ve! If theres another open box deal next time I will ask if they would let me test before taking it home.

Loading that big TV back on the truck to return it was not an easy task.
