On the way:



These are 7 spoke Rimtrex that will replace my 14 spoke, which my son curbed a few times. The ones I bought from Tesmanian are going straight into the garbage

Latest software update from Tesla will allow you to use your watch as a key



Right now only Apple watch can be used. Hopefully they will bring Android watch support as well

No, probably a reflection. So far no scratches or scuffs except on the passenger side door where someone keyed it, which is why keys should be eliminated . BTW I no longer use any keys, except for the Sienna. Even my house uses electronic locks, I can use my phone or a code to open the doors

It uses Bluetooth to program and control the lock. You can also rekey easily so I could use our old keys (as backup)

I've never polished the tires since I've owned the car. Maybe one of these days 🤣

LOL. I am kind of a nut about tire shine on our MYP - I do it myself once/week, sometimes 2x/week (depending on how often I run through car wash). It looks so much better when the tires are shined up.

Well to be fair to my poor tires, the sun was shining directly on them giving an exaggerated greyed out look. Had it been in the shade (or away from the sun), it would have looked normal
