    Plaid Drag Racing - Not such a great night

    I think maybe they can without hardware upgrades. If a Plaid can run duration racing at the track without overheating, it can be over juiced for drag racing lengths of time without damage to the heavy components. Electronics, not sure. Maybe the ESC's will need upgrading. Battery and motors, no.

    Plaid Drag Racing - Not such a great night

    Sapphire is the real deal. But its only marginally faster. Reflexes are decisive through 1/4 mile. Plaid wins hands down for value but the Sapphire is surely a better car.

    I'm hoping they sell an OTA upgrade to boost to 1,300 HP for short periods. Lol.

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    FWIW, the one time I used the classic PS4 (non-Tesla spec) 21" Michelins, they did NOT come apart and lasted 16,000 miles. Coincidence? Not sure.

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    I tried the SIM also, didn't work at all- rather than deal with a refund I just kept it, hoping they would get it right- apparently not yet. I am thinking about designing an aluminum flip/magnet latch hinged mount for larger iPad. So it mounts solidly in front of most of the Tesla main screen...

    Plaid rear tire wear - going after Michelin again - share your experiences?

    It was set to low. Not sure if it was in Jack Mode. I don't think so. I seem to recall checking before they raised it and it was not.

    Plaid rear tire wear - going after Michelin again - share your experiences?

    He offered that he has seen this for years. Most recently in a customer's 911 Turbo. Same issue. He says what kills the tires on the inside edges is squatting under acceleration. An independent squats and toe moves outward under acceleration. A significant toe out condition combined with the...

    Plaid rear tire wear - going after Michelin again - share your experiences?

    I discussed it with them. One of their guys has setup independent race suspensions for decades. I told him to do what he thought was best. We will have to wait and see 😅. We aligned it on the low setting which is what I normally drive.

    Thanks, I will do that. What do you mean "ending" ?

    Plaid rear tire wear - going after Michelin again - share your experiences?

    AFAIK, this shop is exceptional. Been going to them for decades. It was a very new machine (then). Well, if anyone can tell me what the numbers should be, I will work with them today to adjust the rear.

    Plaid rear tire wear - going after Michelin again - share your experiences?

    I have a lot of experience turning wrenches. I am close with the shop and get my head in there all the time when working on things. They are top notch. The last alignment we did was spot on but I also insisted on doing it in"low" suspension level. I have attached the latest results.
