Ok. I got em. I’m a sucker for uncle Bezos’ generous return policy.

How are they?

I like them @Sabercoug . So does my wife. They have been confiscated for her model x. This is a good sign. She generally hates aftermarket accessories.
I know. How tragic for a dude like me right?
I’m back to my bluey paw caps for now but I think if you don’t mind one less whopper meal in your life, the Spigen ones are a good choice.

Well now I'm torn. The ones you just shared in orange....perfect for me especially once I get my CT wrapped. And I'm a doglover.

Well, I now own both. The paws are definitely more pizzaz. But not magnetic .
Well..technically. My wife has seized one so I kind of own them.

Just a FYI....

I am VERY cautious with non-OEM valve covers... especially if they are made from aluminum. After putting great looking aluminum valve stem covers on another vehicle I owned a few years ago, I ended up with galvanic corrosion that ruined the TPMS on all four wheels.

The covers had been on the car just less than a year and almost simultaneously all four tires were showing low air. When I attempted to screw off the valve covers the entire valve stem simply rung off. This turned out to be a costly mistake, and one I am not willing to chance again.

EDIT: I see the ones suggested are described as having "corrosion resistant plastic liners", so, it should work.... good luck with that.

Thank you. I had no idea this was possible.

Good catch. I had a shop remove cheap aluminum valve stem covers one time and replace them with rubber one (without asking first), and they explained the same thing.

Galvanic corrosion is also the reason you have to replace your garden hose sprayers and connections ever year too; we import cheap chinesium garbage every single years by the multi-tons.

Ok. You guys convinced me. What about the magnetic spigen ones? Is this likely to be a problem on my wife’s model x too?

So in light of all the corrosion talk I ordered a second set and put them in the truck. These caps have almost no metal in them. They are a nice flexible plastic and the magnet part is only at the very top.

Here is a Harmar AL065 electric wheelchair hoist. It hooks onto an attachment and can lift up to 250lbs. I hurt my elbow in February doing it manually so got this to assist my mom.

Plugs right into the outlets in the bed.

Hey, sorry to pester you but was legit hoping for a video of how this works. Seems like a very useful device.

Think I’m going to get one and try it out unless someone has had a bad experience

I am always getting alerted by the CT to pay attention to the road when driving with FSD on. Even just looking for a sirius xm station sets the alert off. So I bought this phone clip that I clip to the sun shade so the phone hangs down in front of my face. This allows me to use the phone while keeping my eyes forward. The CT is satisfied as long as my eyes are forward.

Very cool. Got a pic of how it attaches to the visor?

I am also very happy with this car cover. It fits like a glove.
