My hopes of charging here on our Christmas visit back home are fading. Looks like another year of hauling it all the way over to Athens. I’m glad they are building this but Huntsville is a tech heavy city, Tesla could sell a LOT of cars here if there was a service center and superchargers for...

Yes, you need to make sure to get it thick enough so that it peels easily. I put 6 coats on roughly 10 minutes between coats then I let the last coat dry for an hour. Worked great the first time. -Jim

When did you all order from Part Catalog? I've got an order from June 21st but don't have a shipping notice yet. If I didn't make this shipment from China, I may consider looking elsewhere.

Plasti-Dip is quick and easy. If you don't like it, you peel it off and try again and you can go to lowes for all the stuff and do it today. I plasti-dipped my rear emblems on car, and removed the T on the hood and did it off car. By far, I'd recommend doing it on car and masking off well. -Jim

Thanks! I'll check that out. They are not compatible, that's why I posted the question. You can install them, but they won't do any good. -Jim

I got my Gemini rims powder coated. I then installed Wheel Bands in an attempt to keep from getting curb rash. However, due to the lip on the wheels, I don't think the wheel bands will do any good at all. Any suggestions for a rim protector kit that will work with the lip of the gemini wheels? -Jim

In talking with the sales people at Tysons Corner, two different employees told me that this would be a 45 stall installation. I said "45? Really?" They double confirmed. -Jim

There is no way this would be possible in my AP1 car. I’d suggest taking your car in. Just to be clear, you do know it’s looking for a torque bias right? Are you balancing out the torque of one hand with the other, just exactly perfectly? -Jim

I used to wait until the nag then slightly turn the wheel. After the last update, I discovered that is just as relaxing and comfortable to lightly hold the wheel. I drove 100 miles on AP today and didn’t get a single nag while very lightly resting my hand on the wheel at 5o’clock. I like it...

Am I missing some bad news? The tanking is nutz this morning.

So you can prove that you weren't at fault in an accident, or you can identify vandals, you can see who unplugged your car... etc.

That depends on how leveraged the individual is and when the placed the short. -Jim

CR said it hit Tesla's spec of 133 ft on the first try in two different vehicles. Subsequent tests on both vehicles showed significantly worse results. The 152 was the average. Brakes need to work well more than once. The guy who burned his Model 3 brakes out in 1 lap at Laguna Seca may have...

If "fair" means, "I wish" then yeah... Zippy chance of that happening. Fair is whatever the market will bear. -Jim

Yes, because that is the definition of a long.
