Title, getting rid of the uberturbines shortly and trying to see what setup everyone’s done, if you like it, range / comfort reviews, etc.

I’ve replaced 2 uberturbines, spent over $1k getting them fixed (cracks / bends), they gotta go!

Edit: pic for attn, while on fsd car smoked an unidentified large chunk of metal, ruined rim and tire

Has anyone else had to turn down multiple deliveries? The first had large scratches all along the rear hatch and a factory paint defect on the pillar. The second has black and pink paint on the front passenger side of the vehicle. Very frustrating, but I’m reluctant to accept a new vehicle that requires paint correction.

Update: 3rd vehicle had the same spray paint issue. Tesla has a delivery problem moving cars via rail.

Hi everyone,

I have a question about charging my Tesla Model Y Performance.

Tesla recommends keeping the charge limit at 80% for daily driving, but in my case, the vehicle is not used as a daily driver. We mainly use it for long family road trips, so most of the time when I charge it at home with the Mobile Connector, I charge it to 100% to maximize the available range.

One important detail is that I live in Mexico, where the Supercharger network is still not as widespread as it is in the U.S. or some other countries. Public charging options can also be limited depending on the route, so I usually rely on having a full charge before leaving home to comfortably complete my trips and avoid range anxiety.

Because of this, it’s quite common for me to charge the vehicle to 100% before a trip. My concern is whether doing this regularly could significantly accelerate battery degradation over the long term, or if it’s generally fine as long as the car doesn’t sit at 100% for extended periods before I start driving.

I’d love to hear from owners who are in a similar situation, especially those who live in areas with limited charging infrastructure and primarily use their Tesla for road trips rather than daily commuting.

Thanks in advance!

2026 Model Y Performance:

Unplugged Performance flush kit with moderate springs or Mountain Pass Performance coilover conversion kit with spacers and rear camber arm?

Which one and why?

I recently purchased a new Model Y Performance, but it arrived with damage that required a full front bumper replacement.
The MVPA (Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement) lists the vehicle as a previous service/demo car. However, the dealer insists it was brand new and only got damaged during delivery from the factory. Tesla is offering a discount to account for the repair, but something feels off.
Is it possible the car was originally flagged as a demo/service vehicle at the factory and later changed to inventory status? Or could the “previous service/demo” label have been applied because of the repair work?
Has anyone else experienced something similar with a Tesla delivery? Would appreciate any insight. Thanks!
