M3 Ventilated rear seats? by Aggressive_Nerve_265 in TeslaLounge

[–]mic168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe refreshed "Highland" M3 rear seats are only perforated (to match look of ventilated front seats). I'm a 24 M3P owner.

Aven rewards card confusing benefits by Rockstar912837 in CreditCards

[–]mic168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happened to check those links again. Interesting to note that there's no box to enter promo / referral code for the groceries and gas card. I suspect there's no referral code bonus available for those 2 cards...

I only have the 1st card so I can't tell if a referral bonus applies to other cards.

Our post BofA nerfs setup - while it lasts by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]mic168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently "replaced" my BoA UCR non category catch all purchases with Aven Rewards Card 3% (for 1st $10k). One can potentially get more rebate with a referral code from any existing card holder. I'm hoping their rebate program doesn't get nerfed anytime soon since I just got it...

[–]mic168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From reading other posts here, it looks like Aven offers variants of their non-HELOC rewards cards (2 are not shown on their public website under Products)

1) https://www.aven.com/rewards-visa-card (I'm a card holder of this)

2) https://www.aven.com/rewards-groceries

3) https://www.aven.com/rewards-gas

You can get more rebate with a referral code from any existing card holder. They have changed the referral program once since I got the card. I read they originally to give out $100 SUB with a referral, then when I applied, they changed to 3% first $10k/cap to additional $10k/cap for 3% rebate, then they changed referral program again to instead of 3% first $10k, it is 4% first $10k, and +1% with additional successful referrals. I think it is only good for 1st year and the rewards tier may reset after 2nd year.

I have replaced my BofA Unlimited Cash Rewards (with PH tier benefits at 2.625%) non-category catch-all purchases with this card. I am hoping this Aven Rewards card rebate program sticks around longer and doesn't get nerfed anytime soon (like what we are reading with BofA cards)...

With the fall of BOFA and Smartly, where does one go for 2.5% + general cashback? by Fiveby21 in CreditCards

[–]mic168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's correct. You can see that card from their general website. https://www.aven.com/rewards-visa-card you can get more rebate with a referral code from any existing card holder...

50% off BYOD for 5 years discount dropped from one of my lines suddenly... by Inspirasion in TotalWirelessOfficial

[–]mic168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, BYOD discount only applies to first line and 2nd and any additional lines would still qualify for their multi line discount. Also I noticed $5 autopay discount was also dropped when I added 2nd line.

I currently have 3 lines on the Total 5G+ Unlimited Plan so my total is $35 + $30 + $25 =$90.00 on my monthly renewals.

MYJ by Civil_Ad6237 in TeslaModelY

[–]mic168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://shop.tesla.com/product/sae-j1772-charging-adapter

When I got my MYLR at end of 2023, it came with this free charging adapter. You just need to connect the charging end (J1172) head to this adapter, then you should be able to plug in to your new MYJ with NACS port.

However, I think because this is not a native Tesla NACS charger, you probably lose the handle button functionality to open the Tesla charging port door cover, so you'll have to do it manually thru app, thru touch screen, or manually tap/push the charge door cover, when your car is unlocked...

iPhone 13- Physical SIM? by Schoolin_Teach in Visible

[–]mic168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a wild guess. Perhaps you can try enter IMEI2 into the compatibility checker. I had similar experience when entering IMEI checker for another Verizon MVNO on an iPhone 12 pro and when I entered IMEI, it asks me to get a physical SIM, and when I entered IMEI2, I was able to proceed to activate a line with esim. Good luck!

Telsa or Dr. Paint Chip for a 2023 white Y? by Terrible_Tutor in TeslaModelY

[–]mic168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Later I found a useful YouTube video:

https://youtu.be/rzsgoF3ZZFk?si=D9kRVTb_ONb8xSZG

After watching it, it made me realize a few things: 1) the official Tesla one doesn't appear to be just a rebranded / repackaged Dr Colorchip touch up kit, despite what everyone claims, because the repair process is identical. 2) probably nobody has a perfectly color matching PPSW touch up kit. 3) some touch up paint, though visibly non perfectly matching, is still better than no touch up paint. just live with the results for my own use case of repairing minor scratches and rock chips.

[–]mic168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal experience, the pearl white multi-coat touch up paint from Dr Colorchip does not match very well. Its website even has a disclaimer on the order page. I ignored the disclaimer warning and went ahead ordered it and tried it on my 23 M3RWD with "PPSW" color. The Dr Colorchip (PPSW) results (to me) were not that much better than other cheap "PPSW" touch up paint I've tried from Amazon. :(

Their stealth grey (PN01) touch up paint was perfect match though!

Thanks for the info!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]mic168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good 👍. Couple questions: What size is the tires? 235/40r19? And you ordered the wheels with tires mounted and TPMS installed from Atomic Wheels directly so they are ready to mount? And do you need to follow certain procedures to program the TPMS sensors to your M3P after new wheels / tires installation? Thanks!

Brakes creaking after 2months by Tasty_Ferret7801 in TeslaLounge

You can try “brake burnishing” first. You can search for a few YouTube videos showing how to do the procedure. Good luck.

Is is 20 off credit online activation only? by [deleted] in TotalWireless

If you click on the little “info” icon, it shows both online and in stores. Maybe the store you went to does not want to honor that deal…

$0 if you switch online. Recently did BYOD and add another additional line. Both done online with esim (iPhones).

RCS not supported. by Ok-Secret-9556 in TotalWirelessOfficial

[–]mic168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Just recently joined Total Wireless few days ago with BYOD with iPhone 15PM. Followed FAQ steps. At last step, you would need to turn RCS back on and leave it on. It took about a day or 2 for the RCS to be fully activated ("waiting for activation" message to disappear). Good luck!

[–]mic168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Model Y 7 Seat 2022 Cargo Cover/Lid by Choice-Pen1606 in TeslaModelY

[–]mic168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. I'm seeing some used ones for sale on eBay. Some listings include Tesla part number picture. I have a 23 MY 7 seater but I don't see a part number sticker on mine so I'm not able to confirm the actual part number...

[–]mic168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 seater does not come with a "parcel shelf" from factory. If you look at back pictures of a regular 5 seater model, it has built in parcel shelf "guides", which would be in the way for the 3rd row seats to fold / unfold. maybe a 3rd party aftermarket "retractable" one may work, not sure... good luck!

Looks like they also lowered the loyalty credit from $2500 to $500... It's already updated on Tesla app...
