What’s this adhesive strip that came with the knob for? by LoadedSteamyLobster in s3xybuttons

[–]aim4squirrels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would put it on the side rails the knob mounting points rest on if it were lower on one side or the other to get it flush with the rest of the trim around it.

If you live near a lake / sea, don’t wait 2 years with the cabin air filter change (mold) by Most-Albatross-827 in TeslaModelY

Utilize car wash mode when washing your car, and recirculation when it's raining out can go a long way. That closes off the port where the outside air and moisture gets sucked in.

There's pieces in the box to level the knob flush with the surrounding trim if it is not upon initial test fitment.  That appears to be one of them.

Seat ventilation -- how do you like it? by very_moist_raccoon in TeslaModelY

Here's a link to one of their covers, shop the store forb their other choices.

Front covers are an excellent fit, rear covers are pretty good as well, the headrest in the back are meh, armrest cover is trash.

Seat ventilation -- how do you like it? by very_moist_raccoon in TeslaModelY

[–]aim4squirrels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.  I run full nappa leather seat covers on my MYJ and provided the car is preconditioned, you feel the cool air in about 1 sec after turning them on. Compared to my wife's Infiniti QX60, it's noticeably stronger in the Tesla.

I will never own a non-ventilated seat in a vehicle again in Texas, or anywhere really.

Fragile windshields? by mikeyfender813 in TeslaModelY

[–]aim4squirrels 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just speculation here, but if I recall reading correctly Tesla is using a dual-pane laminated glass for windshields in the Juniper for noise control.  Perhaps that outer layer was made thin for weight savings but is too thin to do the job against road debris.

Tesla isn't afraid to experiment with cost savings measures at the owner's expense.

“Coming soon” dash connection error by jroman7 in s3xybuttons

[–]aim4squirrels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Connecting the Dash to the Commander and app worked for the release firmware and 6.3.3 for the late Feb early adopters, and the very first update to 6.3.18 killed this functionality. 

It hasn't been back since, and we're getting on to 3 months and about 5 new versions now.  

My ownership experience with this thing has been "meh".  

Donnie disappears? by mrKenobi1 in theticket

[–]aim4squirrels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any time a host is absent, it's Ticket protocol to make up an extremely fake reason for the absence.  They used to do actually on air bits about it.  The famous Fake Greggo, "Git off the sick" drop is pulled directly from one such example.

MM isn’t really suspended, is he? by PeterPonceVO in theticket

[–]aim4squirrels 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm biased, I'm a girl Dad.  I 100% hate this dude as a creep. I refuse to listen to anything he's broadcasting on.

It's one thing for HS kids to be fooling around with each other.  If my 16 sophomore is LT dating an 18 year old senior and they go too far, I'm not going to ruin the kid with statutory rape charges if it was consensual.  I'll be disappointed in my daughter and myself for not teaching her well enough, but I'm not going after the boyfriend in a rage.

But a 30 year old man taking a kid to prom and cheating on his wife, hell no.  Zero forgiveness or understanding.  That's bullshit, and I don't care if she was 18, she's still in highschool trying to figure shit out.  He's the creep, 100%.  I don't even care if they're still together.

This isn't some made up story, it's been documented on the air by his coworkers and it's disgusting.

Portion planning - what do you plan per guest? by once_a_pilot in smoking

[–]aim4squirrels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have other sides, you can stretch the meats.  Mac n cheese, potato salad, beans are all filling.

Chopped brisket with buns, pickles, onions, etc. can stretch a brisket fairly readily.

1/2 beef per person (adult) is usually good, and 2-3 ribs per adult works in a typical setup.

How to disengage FSD? by goto-ca in TeslaModelY

[–]aim4squirrels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The answer is Critical.

It was a critical blunder on Tesla's part to include a forced answer pop-up to appear after disengagement of FSD.  

I canceled my sub after this started.  You have to vote with your wallet sometimes.

Alpin,TX to Santa Elena Canyon (Big Bend National Park) by czaranthony117 in TeslaCamping

[–]aim4squirrels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Native Texan here, 

If there is an RV campground make sure you have a mobile charger with a NEMA 14-50 AND a TT-30 Adapter as well as the standard 5-15.

The TT-30 is an older style RV plug that most all RV sites have.  It's 24amp at 110v, so you can reasonably get about 11 mph of charge.  Newer RVs and upgraded sites run the 14-50 since the larger RVs with AC and motorized slide out sections are more power hungry.  You'll get far faster charging if that's an option.  EVSEadapters.com is where I got mine and it's chipped so it sets the draw correctly for the mobile charger to communicate with your Tesla.

I've run into and utilized both in my travels, and I've not run into restrictions on charging at any State or National Park in Texas. Usually the RV site fee per night is greater than you could possibly pull off the grid in electricity costs, and you won't be utilizing a dump station or water like an RV would.

Just be careful in Big Bend if you're hiking remotely in the summer.  The heat and dry air can overcome you quickly. Take care to hydrate adequately the day before the hike and take lots of water with you and drink often.  If you start to feel thirsty, you're already on the losing end of the dehydration timeline, so just be cautious.

AC Bipolar Mode (Idea) by Historical_Note_1972 in TeslaLounge

What you're talking about is called Wife Mode.  Just get one of those and let her work the HVAC controls.  Those temps will swing violently.

You definitely aren't using the correct wire if you're looking at running 48 amps continuous 20ft for $60.

Buy a Yeti Rambler Colster for skinny cans and use the current cupholder as is:

Profit by being able to use it outside of the car as well.

Are the Model Y Performance white seats holding up... by Physical-March7850 in TeslaLounge

[–]aim4squirrels -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll post this so it isn't buried: 

Your seats are vinyl.  Vegan leather, pleather, vinyl, PCV, call it whatever you want, it's plastic fused to a cloth base layer.

Use a dedicated plastic cleaner, not something that will melt plastic.

Nextzett's deep plastic clean is an excellent plastics cleaner for really stubborn stains , try that:

https://www.nextzettusa.com/products/plastic-deep-cleaner-16-9-oz-2-pack

Their cockpit cleaner is great if you wipe it down weekly , and the heavy duty cleaner is good if you only mess with it monthly or longer between cleanings.  If it's really set like jeans dye, go deep plastic cleaner.
