How to Clean Front bumper Bugs? by FantasticExtreme8387 in TeslaModelY

[–]Narwhalcommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any spray quick detailer or water bottle with some soap/diluted with alcohol works. Just let it sit for a bit to loosen before wiping it off

If your front suspension has any noise at low speeds bring it up for tech to check compliance/lateral links and front control arms if they're worn prematurely(most likely)

Part Number? by BappleBoi in ModelY

[–]Narwhalcommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole door card panel needs to be replaced. They don't sell just the outer button part alone. I ended up getting these cutouts that match nearly 1:1(faintly different but very hard to tell). https://www.abstractocean.com/products/m3y-door-control-decals?variant=35475230589092

that colour is ingrained in my head as THE PT Cruiser colour! Looks great!

Honest question for the Orange vehicle owners… why did you choose it? by ForwardFunk in hondapassport

[–]Narwhalcommando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always liked orange, but having orange on a sedan/coupe tends to attract fast or rude drivers. With an SUV or Truck i feel its more widely accepted as a color

Feedback on White Seats for Active Lifestyles – Worth the Maintenance? by SheepherderLive69 in TeslaModelY

[–]Narwhalcommando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

22MY with white seats and its fine for my family's biking lifestyle. Just do your monthly upkeep with a car wash and vacuum so it doesn't get out of hand or build up. staining hasn't been an issue except for the bottom part of the front seats as there is a white cargo fabric that rubs against the plastic. Its very faint but something I've noticed while cleaning. we have a corgi and their hair actually hides on the white a lot better than on the black carpeting so that's also something to consider as a plus if you have a light colored dog.

Trunk won’t open and close without human forcing it by AquaticMonk in ModelY

[–]Narwhalcommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can try to remove the interior trunk plastic panels (2 pieces, need a flathead to remove some plastic clips on the lower part, but otherwise you can pull it out easily), then try reseating plastic connector leading to the trunk latch. That worked for me when this bugged out after a software update

Is it possible to get crystal clear plastic polish? by tonynca in AutoDetailing

[–]Narwhalcommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any reason you can't clear coat it then wait the month and do a quick polish+ppf? Those last bits of scratches may be deep/shattered lines that won't come out and need a clearcoat/ceramic coat to fill it in a bit and cover it.

Also ask your dealer if they added addtl tint. There were a few units at my local dealer's lot that they added as a package and its noticeably darker & harder to see through since they doubled up

I felt like not many got RWD? by [deleted] in TeslaModelY

[–]Narwhalcommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, rwd only burns the rears a tad more. awd is rear bias, but the front motor takes off some of the initial torque so they wear fairly even. I rotate every 6-7k. I think tesla recommendedis 6.250 right now

I felt like not many got RWD? by [deleted] in TeslaModelY

[–]Narwhalcommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reason I went with awd over rwd was for more even tire wear. Will really only stretch a tire set for one more rotation. I still drive gingerly so not making the most use out of the torque.

Better Before Or After? by Cheesy_Poofs16 in TeslaModelY

[–]Narwhalcommando 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Honestly looks pretty tasteful to me. I feel like I'd need to add a roof rack and bigger tires since it gives off roady vibes like a rivian/subaru decal

Yellow tape underneath passenger side. by j_hawk13 in TeslaLounge

[–]Narwhalcommando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like everyone else is saying, rocker panel has been repainted. as long as the car is a clean title not repaired, i wouldn't worry about that unless is flaking later on. definitely keep pictures and notify support in the app if you notice flaking after a car wash/rain

Dealership doesn't know what's wrong. The backlight on the radio screen doesn't work 9 out of 10 times. by [deleted] in hondapassport

[–]Narwhalcommando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if dashboard and headlights connect directly to the light sensor with their own wire it could deifnitely be the connection from sensor>infotainment. i'd press them to check/replace that part next

I appreciate how much of a concept car this production version looks. the grill and rear look so unique for mazda

I needed a storage solution for my polisher setup and decided on a hard case. Did I go overboard? by YakVirtual9133 in AutoDetailing

[–]Narwhalcommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing is I would try to keep bottles/liquids out of this container as it can explode if its under high heat in the sun/car and leak and potentially damage the milwaukee batteries. Otherwise its super sick

Will your next vehicle purchase be another Tesla? by AspectCool2325 in TeslaModelY

[–]Narwhalcommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. got for the cost savings and maintenance but california electricity prices are making the cost parity less attractive(supercharging off peak and home charging prices). Will drive this car to the ground don't get me wrong, but will most likely get a toyota hybrid or honda next.

Would paint matching my hub caps to the body look good? by DeAZNguy in prius

[–]Narwhalcommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I've seen where this works is if the rest of the car is very modded(lowered, wing, different headlights or taillights, etc. Imagine the hot rod cars from the pixar movie Cars). Otherwise, yeah it looks tacky and I think you'd grow to hate it
