Chill in my Plaid feels about the same as Chill in my M3LR w/boost and about the same as my MSLR and my MYLR w/boost with boost were. There might be some variance but they all seemed pretty close. I imagine Tesla does it on purpose.

Slap a Dragy and see what the difference is for your car. I found on my MSLR it made absolutely no difference what I did for the time. For the Plaid, it isn't worth the difference for me on the street. If I am chasing timeslips, I might worry about it. At the end of the day, whatever makes...

You don't really need it. The car is still super quick even if you don't. It is one of the best no prep, run what you brung, cars I've ever owned. I can promise you your passengers will never know the difference! Likely you won't either but you would see it on your time slip.

There is almost no point in doing this, as it just accelerates the deterioration of the battery. Ideally keep your state of charge at about 50-55% and charge up when you need more for the day.

When I put in a scheduled time to charge the car, that is when mine starts charging. I am not talking about preconditioning. If possible, I plan my charging to finish just before I leave. Maybe scheduled departure is working for you and actually charges the car prior to departure. If I use the...

Scheduled departure on pre-conditions the car, doesn't tell the car when to charge. The car charges when you tell it to charge via scheduled charging or whenever you plug it back in. All the battery studies show that high temps with high SOCs are the way to kill the batteries in non-LFP cars...

I think there is a long wheel thread somewhere in the S forum. I can't find it at the moment. Here are my 20" Signature wheels in a square fitment so I can rotate my tires easily. I am running 295/35/20 PS4S all around. I had them built to clear my track pack brakes. No clearance or rubbing...

Your experience is precisely why I didn't buy a new 2023 Plaid and went for a very slightly used 2022. The often idiotic approach Tesla has for removing a feature without a fully baked replacement is infuriating at best and sometimes downright dangerous in others. A case in point for the last is...

Sounds like Tesla can add it. I'd suggest pulling in the weather forecast and help with the predictions. So far I am just using AI without the A, to manage my charging. It has really paid off for us. Even my wife is finally onboard and just leaves it at 50% to make it easy. With the really cold...

I am totally on the white bandwagon when it comes to Tesla. I am on my 4th white Tesla. Three of them were purchased in Texas. The other in Florida. The white has held up well. For the MYLR, and its bulbous nose, which is what I ordered first and in Florida, white was really the only way to go...

I was all for my Plaid being stealthy rocking a P75D emblem. Some people actually believed it. That was before I went with the trackpack brakes. Not so stealthy now.

Sorry you had such an issue with the Macsboost. Mine went in very quickly and easy. It was a one person job.

I decided to closely watch the charging of our M3 LR, which has had to sit outside of the garage the last week. This morning I set up charging when it was 12F out. On a Tesla wall charger with 48 amps, the car has been charging at about 4% per hour vs the normal 12%. The max charge the car is...

I was living working in Russia back when this song came out, a little over 20 years ago. The name of the song, if translated, would be "someone like Putin." See below for links. Obviously pure propaganda as far as I was concerned but damned if it didn't become a hit and top the Russian music...

For my Plaid, I didn't need to go with adjustable camber arms to reduce the camber. Basically some shims "adjusted" it enough to take care of it. Perhaps the same approach would work on the 3/Y and be a lot more cost effective. I know had the Macsboost camber kit referenced below in my car and...
