Just to verify are the Cinturato P7's everyone is refrencing the "all season plus" version? And are they good in snow? Ps my oem goodyears are done in at 20k miles... 2016.5 s75d 19" stock rims

Not so Psyched: I have been back calculating the rating for mileage per trip by recording the starting and end mile readout on the battery and comparing that to the actual miles driven and the Wh/mile trip average in the odometer. My 60d would consistently average 269 Wh/mi as a back calc of...

So psyched. I bought it as soon as i saw the $2k price tag. Before purchase 83 miles was reoprting 38% range which translates 218.5 miles. Immediatley After upgrade 82 miles was reporting 32% which translates 256 miles! I have been tracking my actual v rated milage to come up with an average...

I did not have a method for adjusting hood and hatch other than continually opening tightening and adjusting and closing until I felt it was well aligned with the other panels. Test drove a concrete road today that used to get it bouncing, but still smooth 10 degrees F. Don't get me wrong I...

Negative Temps here and still smooth. 250 miles into my new tesla I was seriously stressed and considering selling it because of the rough ride. Other than the hood and hatch adjustment I can't explain the change. But now I love my smooth ride and dream about buying another one with hw2. It was...

I agree temp could really affect the contact of the relatively massive metal and glass hatch compared to the small plastic bumpers. Temp is also a big culprit in the intermittent behaviour.

we are all looking forward to the first maverick who will misaligned the hatch and hood and report if it brings the rough ride back...

I finally convinced my wife to get back in the car. She said it's much smoother but must not be a rough road. I said it's the same rough road that was killing us before... hard to believe but the stability of hatch and hood seems to have made a huge difference. I did not use Vaseline , but...

that must be the coil. I found the BILSTEIN oil and gas shocks front#F4-EE5-K999-W0 162470234; REAR #F4-EE5-K763-W0 162310669.

Found a part # on my front right shock DMS2 E4-FD1 Z230B06 PINK

I have to admit my car has been behaving much better as well. Even my kid said it's not "bouncy" anymore. I did adjust the frunk and trunk which were both way out. I also broke 2000 miles. With the warm weather my tires have been at 44psi. Reserving judgement, I will try and get a baseline...

Yes I agree, but when you look at the wavelength spacing, the tesla it is very concentrated in regular periods. In the audi you feel it in one wheel at a time all the time. In the tesla the whole car bounces. The test is hard to repeat in acceleration, speed, track, etc. It may also have been...

Sc tech said the x rides the same as my s he drove

Sc tech named Steve, he is the Colorado Ranger. I took the audi s8 and tesla s60d on the same road today to record the vibration. My impression is that the audi felt every bump but absorbed independently at each wheel without bouncing above level. The tesla seems to really build off of each...

.I much prefer the audi suspension
