Got my toe plates today. They showed I had almost 0.30 of toe out up front (the alignment machine showed 0.10 toe in). Combined with the -2.6° camber im sure aggravated the issue of extreme inner wear of my street tires. I have probably never gotten a good alignment before from this rack. I...

Glad to see I’m not the only one. 2019 with the 2020 USBC/USBA hub and factory wireless charging pad installed. I have to double scroll wheel reboot to bring it back. I disconnected the usb connection in the passenger side of the center console and reconnected it and it brought it back without...

Idk around here AS and what used to be SSR were the classes that had cars/drivers that scared me 🤪 But I also don’t have a max effort evx build.

6,000 miles on my winter tires on my current alignment. Fronts Rears So tired of replacing tires on this car, toe plates will be here Friday so I can swap back to stock camber in the off season (I don’t run again till September)

Even in EVX you’re in danger of getting gapped by AS cars. When a AS national champion shows up in his prepped C6Z on yokes, you’re gonna have a bad day no matter what lol.

So it’s quicker but not enough so that would make me demod my car and spend an extra $25k. Nice deal for someone that doesn’t own already and is buying one anyways though.

Yeah, getting buried by C6 Z06’s in AS isn’t impressing anyone lol. EVX build and run for FTD at my locals is all I care about anymore.

Best option is to give up on street and move to EVX. I wouldn’t waste money otherwise.

I have some friends connected to Tesla Engineering who reached out to them with this thread and engineering confirmed they are aware of the issues. Who knows where that will go but...

Which national events? Peak G’s don’t really tell much.

I wonder if this is connected to the USB issues I am having as well. When the car wakes from sleep mode I would say it has about a 50/50 chance that USB data may not work and the dashcam icon shows no drive inserted. If I double scroll wheel reboot it works fine again. This sucks.

I would fear no Plaid on a "very tight track" or autocross in my "old" car.

Ugh. I have a feeling it'll never get fixed. Anyways, yesterday was points event #3 for us. It rained in the morning and was pretty overcast the rest of the day so first runs were wet and the course slowly dried out. I grabbed FTD right off the bat with a 34.860, improved to a 34.345 and...

Performance trim cars are generally about more than 0-60 times.

I finally figured out the trick to get track mode data useful in RaceRender again... but now I notice it sucks and is completely unusable because it's so laggy. Seems the on screen data is lagging the same way, watch the speedo at about 0:22. WTF :(

Points event 2 yesterday... ended up 4/123 raw and 3/123 pax. Still loving these RE71RS's I dropped a pin in the lot that I would trip via track mode before my run but I still have no usable data for some reason. It recorded like 3-4 laps per run. I guess maybe since we exited on the other...

Yes. 60-130 is a major performance metric that lots of people care about. I don't see 130 in the 3 often just because it takes so damn long to get there but in my past Corvettes....

Glad my wheel and tire fitment is good after seeing some of these :)

In the past I would drop the start/finish line pin out around where the finish was, hit start, do my run and hit stop. Most of the run would be recorded as lap 0 and it may flip to lap 1 before my run was over depending on where the pin was, but it didn't matter as I didn't care about the lap...

First event on the RE71RS's yesterday. Holy *sugar*, this car has never felt this good, way more predictable than the RT660's. Was back in the fight for FTD for the first time in over a year, ran a 27.256 but whacked a cone. It wouldn't have mattered anyway as Jay went out and laid down a flyer...

First 4 Cybertrucks delivered in Pittsburgh yesterday. Foundation dual motors

12.3 is an improvement in a lot of places... but this particular turn by the office is.... something....

Got to test on the way to work this morning. A vast improvement over v11 in smoothness however the speed stuff is absolutely infuriating and it still decides to use shoulders as turn lanes sometimes. In 2.5 years of testing this is the first release that gives me a glimmer of hope.

Installing now in Western PA

Tires are ready. Season starts 4/14, excited to give these a try after the misery of RT660’s

Problem I had with 18’s was finding something wide and not super short. Also in the RE71RS there’s not much price difference. Kuhmo V730 there’s a wider gap

Time to order tires for this season. Think I’m going RE71RS, just debating on size between the 275/35/19 and 285/35/19. The 275 is 10.9” according to tirerack and the 285 is 11.4”. The 265 RT660’s I had before were 10.9” and I ended up running a 5mm spacer in the front to gain a little extra...

You can make it work. You need a heated wheel retrofit board and a CANServer... I've had a heated wheel in my 2019 for a year now and it's been fantastic https://carnetics.myshopify.com/en-us/products/heated-steering-retrofit-control-board

265/35/19 RT660 on a 19x10 +35 on stock performance rotors. It was a little close for comfort so I run a 5mm spacer up front.

My RT660’s are well used as well. 2nd season on them and I’m officially done with them forever. I’ve never been able to find pressures I was happy with, most recently I’ve settled on 36F/34R Today was the last of the season. A frustrating event due to rain that seemed to happen just before my...

Sunday was event #7 on the year. These 660's are well beyond their service life so I lent a seat to a buddy again who has been autocrossing FWD cars for 20+ years. Was interesting seeing him adapt to the car but couldn't keep it off of the cones, mainly from sliding the rear into them lol. He...

Did I teleport back to 2020? Hi, welcome to 2023, you’re welcome to join the conversation when you catch up

I’ve been misinformed

Gonna find out this winter. I just picked up a set of 235/45/18 FK460's to throw on a set of 18's I have for winter. I also will not be leaving the house if we get any significant amount of snow lol

Haha... Yes, This guy! Sorry was too lazy to scroll back 🤣 I put my service request in as an issue with the Touchscreen as any other option told me my software was up to date. Scheduled Mobile service for next week. Have a buddy who is a service advisor at the local service center who is...

I think you're referring to the guy I just quoted a few back. He said he opened a service request. I just opened one and seeing where that goes.

Man how the hell did you get past the service request screen. It keeps running diagnostics for me and then saying I'm on the latest software

Points event 6 was yesterday. Rain started about 15 runs into the event so I got 4 very slick runs and 2 dry runs once the sun came out. My RT660's are well past their service life but I have 2 events left this year so just going to ride it out and go to RE71RS next spring. Ended 4/93 raw and...

Appreciate the recap, I can’t keep up with anything anymore. I’m #2 so I’m fked lol

Anyone have any luck being moved from the "Early FSD" group to the "Mainline FSD" group? I'm pretty sad about still being on 2023.7.30 when there are some features I have wanted that have been out since spring lol.

This. Our local SCCA region has become very focused on national events and building courses to practice elements they would see at national events etc. It seems like they have lost focus on running fun local events first

We aim for 6 timed runs per event. But we get 80-120 people per event and courses are in the 20-40 second range. All runs count. If we get done early we do paid fun runs ($1 per run) to help fund the club.

Uh yeah counting only the first 3 runs is certainly not the norm around here at any club or region I've run with.

I do have a CANServer installed, I guess I could have it log to SD Card but not having to do anything extra besides click start in Track Mode sure is nice lol. I think you also can't get GPS data via the CANBus which is one of my favorite parts of the trackmode logs.

Interesting. I like my data though! I wish we could disable front and just get the sides lol.

My mom sent me a video she recorded of Cam my codriver redesigning the course and making a wall of cones disappear.

Seeing who the tow was, I would have rather pushed. 🤣

Congrats to everyone that showed up and ran at nats! Meanwhile our fall season started yesterday... a buddy of mine got in from Nationals at 11:30pm Saturday night and posted looking for a codrive because he didn't feel like unloading his STR Miata from the trailer so I offered up the Tesla...

Also required to hear Tirerack ads every 30 seconds over the PA 🤪

https://www.scca.com/articles/2017481-two-scca-members-pass-away-from-incident-at-packwood-prosolo Sorry for everyone’s loss that knew them and were there. It was a very bad weekend for amateur motorsports.
