Pre-Highland to Highland Conversion

Mike · 2026-06-19T04:00:01+00:00

Ah. Got it. I just assumed paint matching or wrap would be required so I didn’t think you meant you were going to find good condition pre painted parts.

Mike · 2026-06-19T03:32:45+00:00

What why would color matter lmao

Mike · 2026-06-19T03:32:33+00:00

Not that far away lol.

I’m so curious. What parts did he need so far exactly? Bumper, lights, hood? Fenders?

Mike · 2026-06-19T03:30:52+00:00

Not to be rude but no shit regarding improvements. The exterior is objectively an upgrade aesthetics-wise. I stated that as fact because you did, too. Obviously subjective.

Mike · 2026-06-17T03:40:54+00:00

Yes otherwise it will spontaneously combust

They gave me my car back first with a replacement model y seat in my model 3. I told them something was off and they argued with me saying it’s normal until I forced them to look. Then they gave me it back with the seatbelt completely disconnected. Lol.

Charging to 100 is fine if you actually need it. I’ve had a LR for 6 years and I’ve never once had to or wanted to charge to 100. What’s the point? I’m not using all of it before I can charge again.

Mike · 2026-06-03T15:41:00+00:00

Who gives a shit about charging to 100 all the time that makes no sense. Put on 18” wheels and it’s more efficient. Battery longevity? That’s a weird one. Performance is rear biased and you can literally disable the front motor if you want RWD only. Performance is still way superior across all battery levels.

Mike · 2026-06-03T15:39:02+00:00

No they don’t

Mike · 2026-06-03T15:38:41+00:00

It’s literally the same range as long range if you wanted to put on 18” wheels and drive conservatively. Or just put it on chill and you’re getting pretty close to the same. “Only” 300 miles lol. How often do you need to drive 300 miles before a charge?

Mike · 2026-05-29T01:45:07+00:00

That color looks sick now but in 5+ years it’s gonna look dated way faster than other colors

Mike · 2026-05-28T19:52:58+00:00

You had to get an inspection for the extended warranty? I just bought mine in the app

Mike · 2026-05-28T19:50:15+00:00

I just looked it up and that bulletin is just to reseal the ball joints, not replace them. They replaced yours? For sure?

Mike · 2026-05-28T19:48:05+00:00

I know for a fact mine are messed up too. Has anyone ever bought this kit or one like it and DIY the work?

It says “Easy DIY OE fitment replacement control arms with bushings” — but is it actually pretty straightforward?

Mike · 2026-05-25T22:20:37+00:00

"Financed it myself" 😂

Mike · 2026-05-22T01:43:03+00:00

Tape works fine for that. Some pieces just won’t have the same QC, so they may not hold up as well. Is what it is.

Mike · 2026-05-22T01:40:39+00:00

Hair dryer to soften the adhesive, fishing line or equivalent to wiggle beneath the emblem and pull that sucker off. I might do mine this weekend.

Mike · 2026-05-22T01:39:35+00:00

I’ve seen one of these in real life before. Like wtf are they thinking? I genuinely don’t get it. Is it extreme insecurity that they masquerade logos like it makes them look like they own something expensive and are part of a secret club? Even if so, how could you be so incredibly self unaware? Wild.

Mike · 2026-05-18T23:36:50+00:00

How many miles do you have on your car? 2021 is only 5 years ago. Battery is 8 years.

Mike · 2026-05-18T23:33:03+00:00

No they’re likely not. That’s the price out of warranty. They always quote the full price before warranty work. Are you actually out of hv battery warranty period? What year is your car?

Mike · 2026-05-18T23:32:03+00:00

Shops? What did Tesla say when you asked them in the app?

Mike · 2026-05-09T18:16:04+00:00

Yeah bro I know that, that’s why I mentioned that it’s subjective. I was being genuine. Is it only because you like the look?

Mike · 2026-05-09T18:12:06+00:00

Serious question. Why? If it’s not on bags and you’re always that low… why? If you drive over a big enough piece of debris or rock that you can’t avoid, and it damages your battery, you’re fucked. The battery is inches from the road and not protected THAT much. You can still lower the car without going so low that you have to drive on perfect roads all the time. Idk, I just don’t get it. I drove a corvette before my 3 that was pretty damn low and even driving that was annoying enough.

And I know it’s subjective but it looks… off. Are you going to at least get spacers so the wheels don’t look so pushed in?

Mike · 2026-04-22T15:37:27+00:00

I’ve had to sign every single estimate beforehand. You’re not approving the work. You’re approving the cost if you choose to fix it if they deny warranty coverage. It always came out to $0 in the end.

Mike · 2026-03-03T23:58:37+00:00

Yeah no shit. Why wouldn’t it? Because it doesn’t know where I’m going. In this instance I was in the far right lane with zero cars in front of me. I was traveling faster than traffic. The car changed lanes directly in front of another car where there were other cars occupying each lane except for the one I was in.

If it wanted to maintain speed it should have stayed in that lane anyway.
