Me too--I am in the same boat where they want me to buy the full bundle again.

Highly recommend checking out Tyre Review on YT https://www.youtube.com/c/tyrereviews He does comprehensive tests with lots of useful info, so you can figure out what is best for you

Quick update on these. TBH I thought, given the location, these were going to be a "consumable" item and I'd have to replace them every year or so as the got scuffed up or started to lift at the edges. They have actually held up great--they show no signs of abrasion and the edges have not...

I am not sure if this is still the case, but for a while, the access to the service manuals had been reduce to $0--you could try subscribing and maybe find the correct procedure. Personally, given the car is still under warranty, I'd see if Tesla can so something about it.

For the 21s you need to be religious about tire (tyre) pressure, so that is a good place to start, but the 21s give you an inherently stiffer ride. Switching to 19s will give you a more compliant ride. The air suspension in the older cars only adjusts ride height, it does not adjust spring...

You can order the parts from Tesla via the app. Open a service ticket for the car you want to put the wheels on (so they can verify VIN) under the 'something else" category and in the description, say yo want to order some parts and list the part numbers and quantities you want and ask for an...

With my car, I have not seen much variance with SoC, at least for 0-60. Even on the 1/4 mi, my fastest run was at something like 80%. Conditioning definitely makes a difference, somewhere around here I posted pics of Draggy runs before and after. EDIT: Oh yeah, in this thread: #2 :)

A couple of things about drag strip mode: 1) It pre-torques the wheels -- here is a link to a pic that shows it: #365 2) It does not drop to CoG as much as move it. Dropping only the nose makes sure the front wheels stay loaded and maintain max traction when you launch

So what tire pressure are folks using on their runs?

Yeah, I figure personal ballast is probably costing me at least a tenth 🤣

On the USB hub, apparently some cable was not plugged in properly between the port in the back of the glove box and the "USB hub" (tech's words). On the latter, it took a couple of tries but they eventually replaced the Steering Column Control Module which fixed the issue.

Good question--I have wondered the same, I guess I'll have to wait on the FW update to find out. :)

I also got an "F" yoke as a replacement for my yoke issue (no haptics)

I didn't have buzzing, I had there opposite issue--no noise, no haptic "click", but yes, replacing the yoke gave me the haptics click back without any buzzing.

Following up on the restraint issue. They replaced a rear seatbelt but that did not address is issue, so next is to replace the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) and the airbag. Perhaps related, the haptic feedback on my yoke went away, but mobile service replaced that already and it is...
