First Tesla!

redditisgarbage223 | 2026-02-16 21:24 | 333 views

Coming from a truck, which I still have and love. But this Tesla is so much fun and a great commuter. Got the Premium AWD, I guess it's the long range? Having a lot of fun playing around with this thing and setting it up how I like. Definitely wanted to put the Plaid wheel on right away, I like it a lot more than the small wheel that comes standard.

Also added the acceleration package

Constant_Research238 2026-02-16 21:29

Is acceleration boost noticeable? I know Juniper pulls nicely above about 50mph even on the standard trims but do you notice a big difference before that?

hockey49614 2026-02-16 21:30

Was the yoke a factory option? How’d you go about that? Is it an oem tesla steering wheel?

Full-Tell8611 2026-02-16 21:30

It looks very stylish 👍 Unfortunately, I only got the standard version.

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-16 21:30

Not really sure, I had the car for like 20 miles before I saw that the acceleration boost was offered in the app. It seems a bit quicker though. Definitely not worth the $2k for everyone but guys spend a lot more in physical upgrades to shave a half second off so I'll take it

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-16 21:31

Nope bought on Amazon, had difficulty installing it myself though because included tools were sub-par so had to pay a mechanic an hours rate to get it put in, awesome upgrade though. Napa leather

hockey49614 2026-02-16 21:33

Obv airbag and all wheel controls functional? How much did it run on Amazon? Super cool upgrade. I love the look of the yoke wheels.

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-16 21:36

Everything works perfect, plug and play into new wheel, all original everything swaps right over. $199 zimablue on amazon, I ordered originally from tesery and it was $260 or so but I think the amazon one is better

Love the dark helix rims. Big improvement upon the original ones for the Juniper.

Background-Math3950 2026-02-16 22:27

Any vibration above 60?

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-16 22:30

Nope but I have some wind noise from driver side

SUPER-NIINTENDO 2026-02-16 22:35

Hey that looks like my Tesla! Love this thing & I know you will too!

rsxstock 2026-02-16 22:58

i bet many tuners would kill to able to shave off 0.5sec from their 0-60 for 2k

GucciTokes 2026-02-16 23:18

welcome! use FSD! enjoy!

IGNORED34 2026-02-16 23:31

Did you get it with auto steer?

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-17 00:00

Fsd and everything

FitterOver40 2026-02-17 00:04

those new gray wheels look really great.

pinegap96 2026-02-17 00:05

Plaid wheels??? You mean Helix wheels!

EitherCharacter9342 2026-02-17 00:23

Congrats

SnooHesitations1020 2026-02-17 00:42

It's beautiful!

IGNORED34 2026-02-17 00:46

Trial? What happens when that's over?

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-17 00:46

I bought fsd

megajordan 2026-02-17 00:54

i received my yoke about a month ago but couldn’t manage to install it myself, and because i don’t wanna damage any of the car parts, i gave up and am looking to pay someone else to do it. tesla is useless in offering suggestions as it is an aftermarket product. do you have any suggestions on who i can pay to install it for me?

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-17 01:06

Just call a local mechanic! It's peanuts for them

LightxDarkness93 2026-02-17 02:04

Welcome to the club!

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-17 02:06

Steering yoke

Comprehensive-Mix645 2026-02-17 02:10

Welcome to the family.

Klutzy-Mastodon1177 2026-02-17 02:12

Congratulations! Such a fun car to drive and own. Enjoy!

Particular-Snow3894 2026-02-17 03:46

How did you change the steering?

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-17 04:12

It's pretty plug and play just swapping components

ifyym 2026-02-17 08:57

Yes, we would. Took a lot more than 2k to get my already 4 second to ~3.5

Clu_Rebooted 2026-02-17 15:49

Acceleration boost is very noticeable

Necessary-Yard-2072 2026-02-17 15:51

Has anyone been to the new Goodwill Store in La Jolla? Care to share the experiences? Pricing? Traffic and parking? Thanks!

CompetitionTight6190 2026-02-17 17:58

Was the mobile connector (charging cable) included with the car?

c4koth 2026-02-17 18:08

Acceleration boost is noticeable, but only below 60mph. Above that, it’s about the same as without acceleration boost.

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-17 18:25

Yeah it was actually, neat freebie

CompetitionTight6190 2026-02-17 18:30

Awesome! I am looking to pick up next week and was preparing for that. BTW, congratulations!

redditisgarbage223 2026-02-17 18:30

Thank you sir, enjoy yours as well!

cndctrdj 2026-02-17 22:00

Meh.... my golf r did that for 700 bucks.

Ok_Egg1197 2026-02-17 22:49

That is noice! Congrats, I can’t wait to get 1

MojoMercury 2026-02-18 01:36

I have a stealth gray on order, can you share pics of the paint close up? I'm debating the red but don't really want the "attention" red cars. Was looking at PPF or ceramic coating to keep it looking "nice" as long as I can.

[deleted] 2026-02-18 21:04

New dark helix wheels?

ballout_glo_300 2026-02-18 22:07

Grey wheels 🔥

Klutzy-Bar-9144 2026-02-19 03:20

Congrats
