    HELP! Dropped something behind the lid, how do I get it out ?

    I think it might come out if you get a large magnet https://a.co/d/52E5g7E https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/vse-vms-transcoding-artifact-us-east-1-prod/391b03f1-c8d3-4b54-9dd7-947309667f35/default.jobtemplate.hls.m3u8

    My S is almost ten years old, and they are still making the car... which is awesome.

    Model S LR vs Plaid for Second Model S

    So are your CV joint vendors and tire vendors. Definitely get the staggered 21 wheels so the tire warranty is limited to 8000 miles! It great to get new tires every year so they are fresh. (S) Mileage Warranty Conditions and Limitations DOT-Approved Competition Tires DOT-approved competition...

    Is it really super dangerous to go over the 120pound weight limit of the stock tow hitch? I’m about 30-50 pounds over.

    I pretty sure Bosal would approve, here is Bosal's 3 bike carrier system mounted on a Bosal hitch. 60kg maximum load or 132 lbs. the carrier weighs 21 kg or 46 lbs , I think Bosal would give you a thumbs up. 178 lbs total if I am reading this right...

    SC gas lighting - look at this

    This isn't a Tesla only thing... I had the same issue with my Miata, I had several thousand dollars in racing related suspension and exhausts replacing stock components so I could track the car, after everything was installed it had this crazy knocking sound coming from under the car for...

    Is it really super dangerous to go over the 120pound weight limit of the stock tow hitch? I’m about 30-50 pounds over.

    I believe the limitation on the S and X is due to the air suspension and or wheels/tires. The wheels are already carrying a heavy load, especially the crappy 21s on the S and the 22's on the X and also lack a significant amount of rubber between the wheel and road, adding weight just makes this...

    MYLR snow performance

    What tires do you have Summer or All Season? Performance comes with Summer and LR comes with All Seasons. Never had any issues in a the 5 Teslas our family has owned since 2012. Get rid of any wheels larger than 19 on the S, 3 & Y and go all season. Very happy with the Pirelli P ZERO™ ALL...

    SC gas lighting - look at this

    Looks like some kinda of anti sway bar retaining bracket... is it cracked? or just loose? It's definitely loose, there is a nut higher up on the frame that was absolutely not torqued down... how did you fix it? Do you off road with your X? How many miles do you have on your X?

    That's what I purchased after one overpriced Eco-hitch. I never removed the receiver ever, so by the 3rd S, we went with the 1 1/4 inch static setup Reese or Draw-Tite, I can't remember on the 2016. Which I have not overloaded as it is only a Class 1 hitch. I think ECO was a Class 2 hitch.

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    I hope this isn't true, because it has legal liabilities for the employees involved, as well as the vendors, but this is the best way to fix insubordination/corruption.

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    Open Market,,,, you know what I meant. Also the freaking competitive advantaged ended the day Tesla opened the network up to all their competition. The challenge at the moment for selling cars is the FED and these ridiculous interest rates. Also reduction in sales in China due to BYD product...
