    flat tire experience

    On my way to Santa Barbara. Hit a thick chain that was across two lanes on 101. I was one of many cars that did. The two tires on the left side gone. AAA got a flatbed out (took 45 minutes) and he took me to my local America's Tire. I had called to reserve the 4 MXM4's they had in stock. 4 hours...

    A moment of solidarity for our CA brethren (HOV stickers)...

    Tip. On his suggestion my clear bra guy added the stickers with clear bra underneath so it's easy to remove (even on top of the original clear bra). I got the stickers a few weeks after I added the clear bra.

    Chimes -- all the time

    v9 definitely made the chimes more sensitive.

    Version 9 on AP1

    Installed yesterday on 2015 85D AP1. All seems to work well. My AP1 hardware issues were taken care of a months ago at the service center, and this update hasn't done anything weird to it. Valet mode works on mine (someone said it was gone). I am curious to see how well the HOV lane option...

    Larger model s tires and wheels

    Interesting. I had a P85D loaner with 21" recently (I've got 19" on mine), and on Los Angeles streets and freeways I could definitely feel the difference in comfort. I agree with you on the steering response difference of course. :)

    Tire Changes at what miles?

    MXM4s are almost done at about 30k (rotate every 5k), about to rotate tires and the fronts are at 4/32", rears at 5/32". Previous original wheels done at 22k.

    Best 19inch tire

    Interesting. I think I will probably get around 30k out of my MXM4s on my 85D. Been rotating the tires, and all. Lots of freeway miles as a commuter. Curious if I should try the Cinturato P7 now. Are you noticing anything as far as ride quality and range?

    PIN to Drive

    With your 2018 cars you are not the target of this "feature". Some of us are. I'd prefer to not have my car possibly stolen around town because of a known security blind spot. So not a useless feature. And since they know about the security threat they are potentially liable too (in this country).

    PIN to Drive

    There's a proven way to remotely "hack" the old keyfobs to open the car and start it, enabling car thieves to drive away with your car. This is because the keyfob manufacturer did a poor encryption implementation. Apparently it's the same for some other high end car manufacturers relying on the...

    PIN to Drive

    Does anyone know how it works with Valet mode? Do I need to turn off "PIN to drive" before I activate Valet mode?

    Network down again?

    Never mind. Service didn’t turn back on the mobile device capability. That was a first.

    Squeak between driver seat and armrest...

    To clarify, I apply it to the driver seat.

    Squeak between driver seat and armrest...

    I can see on the driver seat side exactly where the contact is, so I applied it there.
