    Wheel Steering Tie Rod Fell Off on the Racetrack

    First one I've heard of, but some kerbs can be very hard on suspension. Would be interesting to see the kerbs you're referring to @wzj998 Any photos of those corners available?

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    This is the sort of thing I'm hoping is going to turn up soon. In some respects, it might be better to tactically withdraw from some areas to let the surviving assault groups form into larger holding positions, then hit those with artillery, mortars and the larger kamikazee drones we've recently...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Pulling the various reports together I've seen suggests the following (in the border area above Kharkiv): 1. There aren't enough Russian troops to capture a large city like Kharkiv, but it's one of their targets currently. 2. Kharkiv isn't within artillery range so they need to create a 'buffer...

    Wheel alignment cost at SC

    The takeaway here is that Tesla are not alignment specialists. Neither are BMW, Porsche, Mercedes and the rest. Same as tyre fitting. They charge more than a good indy tyre place because they don't specialise in tyres. You pay the same hourly rate for all work at any dealer so if you don't want...

    Wheel alignment cost at SC

    For the record, I checked with my contact in Tesla and certainly Bristol, Cardiff, Guildford and Chelmsford all have their own alignment ramps so if they do ever farm out an alignment it will be because of some circumstance such as the ramp being out of action or over-booked. But, my advice is...

    Wheel alignment cost at SC

    Ok fair enough. They are very meticulous and do a very careful job so the price obvously reflects that! I'd still use them over Guildford SC if the proce was the same though.

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    It's counter-productive for Ukraine to be targetting civilians. They have a small number of (generally) high precision weapons and use them accordingly - to strike targets which will disrupt Russia's further occupation and destruction of Ukraine. There are plenty of well documented cases of...

    Wheel alignment cost at SC

    I haven't heard of centres taking the cars off site for alignments, so just because one might doesn't mean the others do. Not that I'd use a Tesla SC for an alignment anyway, because there are better options. @thewanted For Guildford, the place I've used who are very experienced and know Teslas...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    It's really not politics, although that answer is often given by Russians wanting to pretend nothing is going to affect them and they can't do anything about it anyway. It's all about your deranged leader wanting to go back in time and grab all the land and resources he thinks should be his and...

    Tyre rotation

    Jacking points are the same as on a Porsche. Do they refuse to jack those up?

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Agree it's not all about wealth, but for a 'poor' region your infrastructure looks pretty good from what you've said and you do own a Tesla, after all. Recruiting for the war is also about ethnic origins and other factors, but you can't deny the closer you are to Moscow, the less likely it is...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Sure, but as seen from the map I posted, they aren't recruiting from your region anywhere near as much as other, less affluent, ones. It doesn't surprise me you are less affected by the war in your location. Putin is trying to keep you and people like you isolated from the effects as much as...

    carbon fiber rear spoiler deterioration

    OK I'll chip in, but not sure how much help it's going to be! First off, you're wrong about Tesla's profit margin on them. Some Tesla parts look overpriced, others seem very reasonable. It's all about who makes them and how many they make as well as the quality of the part. But the Tesla spoiler...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    @AlekseiNovikov Let's get down to basics before going any further. Why did Russia invade Ukraine in 2022 and how do you think your country will benefit if you win this war?

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    We're all fed propaganda on a daily basis but as @iPlug says it's how you deal with it, cross check it and verify it which makes the difference. Maybe our Russian friend is open minded and challenges the Russian narrative. We'll see.
