    No premature inner rear tire wear encountered after installing shims

    Hi Y'all, I have the shims installed within a week of my Model S P delivery. I'm running 20 x 10 square. The car has 6K miles. As you can tell I do not have any excessive wear. Hopefully this will help those who have excessive inner tire wear. I was also informed by the Tire techs... If you...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    I have 2,000+ miles on my 2023 MSP 20" square t s p o r t line wheels with the m a c b o o s t shims. The vibration is sometimes quite severe when driving for the first time in the morning. It goes away but comes back every now and then not as severe. If the vibration goes away when you select...

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    I received the latest update (I think), it is 2023.44.30.6, I also did a reboot after. My 2023 MSP has 20" square setup I have 2200+ miles. I still have the vibration between 30-50 mph. It occurs with the low, medium and high height settings. Strange that it occurs sometimes and sometimes...

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Thanks for that heads up PropofoIn. I checked the site: 2023.44.1 Official Tesla Software Update - Teslascope but I don't see any release notes on this. Where do you see this mentioned?

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Hi S1rk, I have a 2023 MSP ultra red and I do feel the steering and pedal vibration when gradually accelerating from 30-50mph. It goes away after that. Strangely, the vibration does not occur everytime between 30-50mph. I have abut 1100 miles on the odometer. Do you still have the vibration...

    Lowering springs install southeast Florida

    I've been checking around for places that do wheel alignment in Ft. Lauderdale and haven't found any. Can anyone help? I have a model s and I want to get the wheel alignment prior to installing new tires. Thanks!!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Congrats GonePlaid! I guess going from a RAM TRX with that exhaust would be quite a contrast. I'm scheduled for mine on 10/14 also but I'm sticking to that date, hopefully the Gods are on my side when it comes to fit and finish. Keep us posted.!!

    Thoughts on another price reduction in the US for the MS P to meet 4th qtr #s

    Makes me think whether I should hold off on taking my delivery this month, lose the $250 deposit for $? Then again my trade-in will depreciate more since I'm trading my 2019 M3Pstealth so it may balance out anyway. Se la vie.

    Plaids with 20" tires AND rear inner tire wear?

    tatoweb - your MS P/Lr looks like Ultra Red? I'm getting my MS in Ultra Red this month also. Can you provide your wheel info? Thanks.

    Thoughts on another price reduction in the US for the MS P to meet 4th qtr #s

    I'm curious, what's the source of the inventory levels? Your explanation is definitely plausible.

    Thoughts on another price reduction in the US for the MS P to meet 4th qtr #s

    With the current negative news that Tesla is not making the #s for whatever reasons (probably because of retooling) does anyone think they'll drop the MS or MX price in the US to achieve the #s for the 4th quarter?

    '23 Plaid brake upgrade is 'higher thermal brake pads'

    Thanks for the heads up btec 116. Replacing stock 19"s with $2k flow forged wheels and mounting the tires from the OEM wheels make $ sense. If I go to 20" square, I'd have to fork out $3.5k. Replacing tires on a square setup runs a few hundred less and has the benefit of tire rotation. Going to...

    True dat Yelobird. But sometimes there's someone out there with a ton load of new knowledge and that could add to the knowledgebase. New products are always coming out.

    Model S/X minor refresh coming soon?

    Can someone chime in on this. Is the rear camber issue being discussed above regarding the premature wearing of the rear tires when driving in low height mode? If yes, from what I've read on some threads, it can be eliminated by making sure the rears are at least 42 to 45 psi + and avoid driving...

    '23 Plaid brake upgrade is 'higher thermal brake pads'

    Thank you for that great response btec116. Great information. I will not be a very frequent track rat, probably do some high speed runs at the Miami-Homestead Speedway a few times/yr to stretch the MSP legs rather than on public roads & risking going to jail or dropping $ for fines. So, I...

    Getting MSP Oct 2023 with std 19" , going to aftermarket 19" or 20"x10" - Need suggestions.

    I test drove the MSP with the Tempest wheels. The ride was not that harsh, tolerable, the suspension was in comfort mode. I went over some train tracks and compared to my M3 Stealth Performance with aftermarket 19", it was noticeable less jaring. I planning to go aftermarket with 19s with the...

    I pulled the trigger yesterday so I'm right behind you. MSP ultra red, black interior, 19" wheels (to be upgraded). No VIN yet. Waiting for Tesla to give me a trade-in $. I too will miss my M3Stealth P.

    '23 Plaid brake upgrade is 'higher thermal brake pads'

    Just ordered a MSP no delivery date yet. What can an owner do to improve the braking performance for everyday driving and some light track duty? Suggestions were: brake fluid with higher thermal capacity, upgraded brake lines. t s p o r t l i n e has a brake upgrade for $5K, must have 20"...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Here's the 19s I'm planning to get. I figure since the spokes are thin the red calipers will stand out more + the gloss black will match the gloss of the ultra red paint + since its gloss black brake dust may not cling to it as easy as a matte black finish + when the tires are clean and have...

    Model S on order - VIN assisgned est delivery 9/26 - 9/30

    Sep 30 is 11 days away, does pushing cars out the door for last qtr delivery result in shoddy assembly? If I wait till Oct, I realize my trade-in will definitely take a hit. Does delivery in Oct-Dec result in the vehicle being a 2024 model year?

    Option when purchasing to select 18" instead of 20" on Model 3 performance

    Thank you for your insight Gauss Guzzler. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a 2021/2022 M3P and I have 19" aftermarket wheels that I'm planning to replace the 20" uberturbine wheels with but was kinda hesitant to go through the process of selling them.

    Upgrade wheel + tire but got a question

    I have a Stealth Performance M3. I was looking at T S p o r t l i n e wheels and I asked whether they could replace the 235/40/19 tire with a +1 size (255/35/19) when I purchase the wheel+tire package. They would not do the +1 size, they say they do not recommend it. Using this online...

    Notable Hints to add after 8 mths of operation

    FYI. I got the plain Suma mirrors, non blue, $149.00. There were two push on connectors that I connected. The third may be for dimming or for the defroster. Use a pointed pliers to extract them since they are on pretty tight. Just to be cautious, since both are black, after detaching the wire...

    I typically drive on the interstate where I find myself on multi lane (3-5) lanes and I have to maneuver around vehicles. I agree with what TLLMRRJ posted.
