That's a point. I would not have big problems trying something "creative" with a middle aged gaming console still with some warranty remaining, but I would be hesitant to doing stuff that will void the warranty of a $60k car. I will try to see if some old acquaintances still working at said...

Thank you so much! This is a good help. Now the biggest challenge here - how to actually change this. I used to work for a certain company where I could use my own work computer to do this in a whiff, but I don't do that anymore. Is there any way to actually do those changes without a whole...

Had a look at this a while ago on a Model Y to try to enable the side marker lights (the amber ones) in the US type front fog lights after retrofitting them to an European Model Y. Looked through everything available and in the code, but did not find anything. The only option I know about is the...

Here in Norway, road salt use is extreme, probably like some areas of Canada. A local company has developed a set of additional covers to install, that will cover this area, the big open rust trap area up front, and various other exposed places. They install it together with doing a treatment...

Anyone know if it, using Toolbox 3, is possible to enable the DOT-mandated side markers (the amber LED in the front fog light assemblies found on US-spec vehicles) on an EU-spec car, of course given that the light assemblies are changed to US-spec? The US-spec lights installed on EU car work...

I have the folding mirrors. After 5 years in salty winter seasons, I see that (despite not folding them when freezing) the performance isn't 100% anymore, with the passenger side mirror not always folding all the way out. No strange noises or anything, just left with a mirror that doesn't fold...

Ended up getting a 12/2016 Model S 90D with 170kkm. So far so good. 8 year will expire 12/2024, so hope for things to fail before that. ;) Just got the front clevis mount and driveshafts replaced for free. Suspension is tight, but the car needs new brakes soon (still has the originals), which...

Tire pressure is all good. It is the air suspension losing pressure on the rear left only.

The car has been sitting for almost a week, and I noticed today that it was about 30 mm lower in the rear left than the other corners. Which again means there is a leak somewhere.. Any typical places for a leak like this? Like, lines rubbing, distribution blocks, junctions or other things? Just...

Hard to decide, trying to sum up some points here, and would like some comments. I don't drive a lot, but when I do, it's mostly longer trips. No commute and almost no city driving. Had a 2014 Model S, and have several friends with Model 3, so I am not new to Teslas at all. A gearhead and...

Anyone know if the 18" Aero wheel has got this small additional "lip" machined out so they can be mounted over the Performance big brakes? I know they will fit clearance-wise, but don't know if they'll need to be machined or if they are all good to fit over that stupid extra lip on the big brake...

The front suspension component that causes issues is shaped so the problem on the inside more or less disappears with bigger wheels. You have waaaaay more inside clearance with 21" than with 19". But anyway, my 9,5" ET35 wide wheels with 5 mm spacer are quite flush with the front fenders, I...

Yeah, of course! Final offset +30. You would need Porsche wheels or so (offset +60 on a lot of them) to need a 30 mm thick spacer. ;)

I did some measurements using some genering ($8 for two) spacers - and I found I need ET30 up front to clear the front suspension by 6 mm. I will also go for ET30 in the rear, as ET35 leaves it veeeery tight on the inside. With 5 mm spacers, the wheel studs doesn't need to be changed, as the...

The wheels are 9.5x19 ET35 or ET40. They will slightly rub the front suspension and they will sit uncomfortably close to the inner fender liner in the rear.. Anyonw knows if 10 mm spacers will fit with enough threads left to mount the wheel safely? The thinnest spacers that bolt to the hub are...
