MYS final result after new rims and tint

FastEV EV05 rims on the stock Hankook Ion Evo AS tires (I know some of you hate the rims lol, but they’re a good balance of efficiency and looks. There are better looking rims out there but you take a 5-10% range penalty). Ceramic tint at 70% windshield, 35% fronts and 50% on all the back windows on top of the privacy glass, giving those a VLT closer to 10-12%. I think I’m done for now, can’t justify spending a lot of PPF, especially since I don’t do a lot of highway kms. Pretty happy with the result, will be a great daily driver for many years hopefully.

If you’re in Ontario make sure you ask about OPCF 43 to your insurance company.

I got the insurance done today for my MYS and I’m paying about $1700 a year, they mentioned the optional OPCF 43 insurance that removes depreciation deduction in the case of a write off after an accident. They are only charging $4 a month in my case for 48 months, it’s chump change to cover the depreciation hit in the case of a collision. This can only be applied to new vehicles and first owners.

Seems like a no brainer, especially with how easily these cars can be written off with even somewhat minor collisions.

Need advice on changing tires myself?

I want to do seasonal swaps myself in the future on the Tesla I’m getting soon. Unfortunately my dad didn’t teach me much of anything to do with cars, so I’m not sure what I need to do the tire swaps. I have an impact driver I’ve never really used on anything, I think I need to get an impact socket set? Also a tire change kit so I can torque the wheels to the right setting? And a 3 ton jack. Anything else? What are the best steps to do it right? What do I need to take into consideration?

Tesla Model Y RWD and charging

Does it top out at 32Amps AC charging or 40Amps? I’m seeing conflicting answers online. Can someone with the vehicle clarify?

Model Y RWD Insurance Quotes?

I’ve got one on order for Sept ETA (fingers crossed) and I had a really hard time trying to get an insurance quote since my insurance broker needed a vin to give an estimate. I was lucky enough to find a used 2026 MY RWD vin that I was able to give to the rep so he could input it in and give me a rate. I’m in Oakville with a decent driving record and my quote was $1700 a year, which is crazy good since I’m currently paying $2000 a year on my 2022 CX-5. I expected it to go up a bit, pleasantly surprised to see a lower rate.

Beyond saving a ton going with the standard vs premium, I’m very happy with my decision given that the insurance gap would have no doubt been significant. I could easily see insurance being $3k for that trim.

Black Nova on the way

Just shipped along with the carrying case and dual screen add on. I hope I don’t regret that add on, I know it’ll be clunky but I don’t don’t play a lot of DS or 3DS games, so for the few times I do I can use that. I couldn’t justify the Thor when I didn’t need a dual screen all the time and didn’t want to deal with the size and bulk when just primarily playing single screened retro games.

It’s nice to see that retroid stuck to their promise of getting black units out today. I’m hoping this the last handheld I buy for a long time (hopefully the last one ever).

Pick up location changed, sign of a closer EDD?

I’ve seen no change for weeks an all of a sudden it says the pick up location shifted from Etobicoke to Hamilton. Is that an indication that there’s some movement in my order? My EDD still says late August.

Good wheels for the Tesla Model Y Standard?

Seems like an excellent wheel for the price? Looking to change out the wheels on the model y standard to these and use the stock wheels on some winter tires.

Spigen acknowledged Model Y L in their marketing materials

Curious to see pricing, I’m sure it’ll do well here.

I have a base model y on order for Aug-Sept delivery, if a Model Y RWD Premium from Shanghai makes its way here before then for a similar price, it would a be a no brainer to switch. With the recent launch of the Model 3 RWD Premium for $40k, it seems more likely no?

With rampocalypse and now the massive impact of the Iran war on helium supply (key ingredient in semiconductors), this hobby is cooked for the foreseeable future. Between downgrades, price hikes and outright cancellations, you’re going to see a hollowing out of this market. The only devices that will survive are ones with large margins and high demand, stuff like the Thor. All the low end, weirdo devices that are super niche and interesting are living on borrowed time and their usual follow ups after 12-18 months might never materialize.

If you’re interested in getting something, just get it now and ride this whole thing out.
