    Do you hand wash or car wash your Tesla?

    I wash once a week with Optimum No Rinse and dry with The Absorber. I've been doing this for over 4 years and the paint still looks new.

    Tesla unable to align steering wheel - Looking for advise

    This is BS. Centering the wheel is standard procedure after working on the steering system. When I had Tesla do an alignment, they failed to center the wheel, so I took it back, showed the technician the problem, and he said "wow, it is off. We'll have it fixed in a few minutes", and they did.

    Options for Wall Connector wiring

    You wouldn't be able to run an EV charger off of this sub-panel because it would overload. Chances are the breaker on the main that feeds this sub-panel is 100A, so with 50A for the EV that is 1/2 the capacity. You should see if you have room for a breaker on your main panel for the EV.

    FSD Owners - Do any of you prefer leaving it off?

    I only use it on the highway, I don't have the patience for it on city streets. It is too slow on turns, very indecisive and slows down traffic. It's OK on a straight line, but I have to babysit too much when turning.

    Am I the only one who doesn’t plan to Tint their windows?

    No tint here. I like other drivers to see my face, and I don't want to deal with issues.

    Should I lower it or leave it?

    Leave it. Not worth the hassle and possibility of damage. I have a M3P with 20's and the stock height and love it.

    Anyone have a 6MT car in addition to their Y?

    Before my Model 3 Performance, all I had was MT cars. Z-car in my youth, Maxima later on. I can say once I got the 3 I thought I would miss the MT, but I do not. The 3 is so smooth and powerful, when I go back to the MT I miss the smoothness.

    Miles instead of kWh?

    KWh is an absolute measurable number that represents the energy used or added to the battery. Miles is relative to the battery management system's calculation of your car's efficiency, which can be different form car to car so it would not be a very good indicator.

    How does dojo get the FSD training to my car? I don't mean merely OTA...

    I think IamGary's question is how does the DOJO training get transferred to our cars. The output of the DOJO is a trained neural net(s), and that output is part of the firmware download that our cars receive. Our cars don't have a normal processor, but a neural net processor that runs the...

    Extension cord for supercharger help

    There's a reason those lines are short, they have to carry close to 1000 amps (for the 350 Kw) chargers. You don't want to mess with extending it.

    If you had to do it again, would anyone NOT get the white interior?

    It seems the only people who would never get the white are those that never did get the white. I got the white, have had it for 3 years and it still looks new. In Texas, with 100 degree summers, it is refreshingly cool when I get in, even without pre-cooling the interior. So, Yes, I would get it...
