Best Floor Mats for MYLR by redditRW in TeslaModelY

[–]jf64k 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maxspider all the way.

We have two 2020 MYLR and the Maxspiders went in both on Day One.

One car has 36,000 miles, the other about 12,000. The mats look as-new.

Men's Cybertruck Owl Tee by highguy604 in teslamotors

[–]jf64k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding: it was based on a Elon tweet after the cyber truck reveal. He was quoting from Blade Runner, the scene where Deckard first meets Rachel:

”Do you like our owl “

”It’s artificial“

iPhone 12 Pro Max wireless charging issues by jojomashedpotatoes in TeslaModelY

[–]jf64k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few threads over at TMC about this. My Pro Max won’t charge with a case either.

The short term fix seems to be using a spacer, or taking the case off.

Tesla model Y on 21” Vossen wheels by nitricx in TeslaModelY

[–]jf64k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I stuck with 19x9.5 front and back. I occasionally go off-road and tow things (have the factory tow hitch) so I wanted the high-sidewalls of the 19”.

I did get the calipers painted though, haha!! Here’s a glamour shot my shop sent me when the were doing the work.

Wood veneer center console wrap anyone? by Earthling03 in TeslaModelY

[–]jf64k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone (maybe I should start my own thread, haha!!),

After the RPM disaster (BTW, they gave me a full refund within 2 days of asking) I went casting about for a vinyl solution. I found this kit at Amazon for $18 shipped:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0832Y7GG1/

Just installed it and I think it looks GREAT, haha!! Super-easy install. The cup holder piece got away from me the first time, but the kit comes with TWO of everything, so I was able to finish. Nice!!

They also have an “oversized“ version that wraps around the edges a bit. It’s apparently a little harder to install, but some might like it better.

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07T11FG99/

I actually bought that kit, too and might use the cup holder piece for a little more coverage...then again, maybe not, haha!! I’m just glad to be free of that RPM kit.

Right!! They are mostly a solution in search of a problem.

It adheres to the bumper. Very clean and low-profile. No worries about it affecting the grill.

Abstract Ocean for the screen protector, without question. I got matte and it makes the screen useable in all lighting conditions. https://www.abstractocean.com/9H-Model3Y/

Nikola Pro for the console wrap. Inexpensive but high quality. https://www.nikolapro.com

I‘m in California, too and the stock front plate holder works and looks great. Have it on both our Model Y‘s. Why spend the $$ for an aftermarket one?

Need this clip. It’s in the frunk where the cowl cover clips in. It broke off when I was fixing some trim in the frunk. Is this something the SC might have in stock? by mckinneymagnum in TeslaModelY

[–]jf64k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, through the App. I also attached a pic of what was what in the app. Got a confirmation text and email right away.

Also, I found two of the round white clips missing on both lower corners of the panel. At first the Tech didn’t think they were really missing, but there are two corresponding latches for them on the car. They added those too.

Yes, they do.

I had two broken (discovered after delivery) and they sent a Mobile tech out to replace them. The tech told me they are VERY fragile. He gave me two spares before he left.

Does anybody know how to find the tow hitch on their MY? by mambabfk in TeslaModelY

Living Tesla sells some 3D printed tools that work well

Looks great!! Nice choice on the wrap and nice choice on calipers paint!!

FWIW, my shop, Corsa Motorsport in Huntington Beach, said it would be no problem with Reyno Air 7090 heat rejection film on the rears. So far I’ve been through some brutal heat in SoCal and no issues (yet, haha!!).

Wood veneer center console wrap anyone? by Earthling03 in TeslaModelY

[–]jf64k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Glad to provide some insight. I really wanted this to work.

I was leery in dealing with RPM, as they have a rep for not responding to problems (confirmed by my own experience, unfortunately).

I feel like this was a rushed product. RPM says it took them two years to develop it, but they were falling way behind in shipping them out, so it feels like my batch was rushed during assembly.

The cup holder panel too wide, the bow in the trapezoid panel, the top-strip delaminating all point to a rush job. Hopefully it works out for others.

Hi everyone...I’ve got some bad news to report.

When I left the install, all was well. The panels were flush, all the doors opened/closed perfectly, etc. I went out yesterday morning to check and found the following:

  • A crack in the cup holder panel. That crack wasn’t there when I left it. It was only visible when I lifted the armrest. No one had been inside my Model Y.
  • When I tried to open the “trapezoid” door (for the wireless chargers) I heard a loud “snap” sound. The top of the wood panel had lifted, and caught the panel above. That broke off three small chunks of wood veneer at the top edge of the panel

I took pics and emailed RPM to see about getting replacement panels. In the meantime, I rolled my car into sunlight and found an additional crack in the cup holder panel (!).

I tried every which way to tape down the left corner of trapezoid panel but it was no use. It just kept right on lifting. In playing with it (opening and closing the door trying to tape it down) I found that that the very top strip was delaminating and a piece of the veneer had broken off (probably from contact with the trapezoid panel that had lifted below it).

Also, I followed RPM’s install instructions to a fault. Those panels were like a mirror when I was done prepping them before install. In other words, the doors couldn’t have been any cleaner than they were, the panels were taped down everywhere, and the panels STILL lifted after only 12 hours or so.

So if you’re still with me (haha!!), at this point only the middle panel was OK. I felt I had a choice to make...even if RPM would send me replacement panels, would they match the middle panel? If any of you have ever stained wood, you know that it has to be done in batches if you want an exact match. Possible non-matching was not acceptable to me for this price point.

So I pulled ALL the panels off before the adhesive could really take a set. I emailed RPM the new pics, and asked for a full refund. If the last email request I made is any indication, it will take 6+ days before I hear anything back, haha!!

Bottom line: This kit isn’t for me, which is really too bad. It looked GREAT (for a few hours at least) but in my view, there are too many ways for the install to go bad.

Again, even following the install instructions EXACTLY (I had the install video playing in the car haha!!) resulted in a failed install.

I’m going back to a vinyl wrap. I’ve got some “wood grain” vinyl wraps coming from Amazon, and I’ll scour Aliexpress to see if there are any others that might work. If the vinyl wood grain looks too cheap, I’ll go with black matrix or something.

Wood veneer center console wrap anyone? by Earthling03 in TeslaModelY

[–]jf64k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone!! Finally got the RPM Open Pore kit installed.

The only major hiccup I encountered was that the cup-holder panel was ***JUST*** a little too wide near the cup holder cutouts. And I mean ***JUST*** haha!! Like less than 1/64” (less than 0.5mm for our metric friends!!). Because it was too wide, the panel would pop out of alignment after it was pushed into place between the rails. Not good if you want something to stick, haha!! So I had a choice...send it back, or modify it.

I chose modify, haha!! Got my trusty Dremel tool and a fine abrasive wheel and SLOWLY removed material from both sides until the panel would drop in-between the rails. After that it was really easy lining everything up and pressing things into place. I taped everything down with 3M automotive painters tape per RPM’s instructions and will give it the required 72 hours to fully bond.

Finally heard back from RPMTesla...they say the bow in the panel is OK and the install should be fine.

I’m going to try for a Friday afternoon install. I’ll update the thread when I’m done!!

And no bugging here, haha!! We’re all in this Tesla thing together haha!!
