+1000. Also describe what is exactly changing BEFORE it is installed rather than showing 'What's new' AFTER it is already there and no option for rollback. I am tired of new SW breaking stuff.

I do it every Wed after trash pick up. I have long driveway and simply put can in the trunk and drive with trunk open. And I generally *hate* electronics that thinks it is smarter than me so it forbids me from doing what I want with a thing I fully own. :smile:

I don't go over on highways anyway, typically just go with traffic, never over 70. It's 25mph zones I am concerned with. I haven't had moving violation ticket in 16 years.

Fixed it today in 1 min: put a piece of electric tape over lower edge of the seat belt opening on the B pillar. I actually used black tape, it is not really visible under the seat belt. I guess teflon tape would work even better (can be found at Amazon).

I followed steps and installed 8500ci today (no laser stuff as I don't really need it). The entire process was pretty simple and took less than 2 hours.

I tried V1 and it sort of works but sensitivity is greatly reduced. I just connected V1 to 12V power and drove around checking signals from automatic doors and stationary speed displays. I know how far V1 used to pick them in BMW so I could compare. V1 works, but sensitivity probably 30%-50% or...

2K Xpel film full hood, fenders, lights, door edges and rear bumper. Since Tesla refunding me $995 its fine.

Apparently paint armor option offered at $995 does not protect lights. And if you want to upgrade, local installers count Tesla option as only $300 (that's how much Tesla pays them to install paint armor option). I was apparently lucky that paint armor was not installed at the factory and...

Metropolitan Detail quoted full wrap at $7200. I think one can repaint the entire car for that money. Wrap doesn't change resell value either. I had partial cover on my last two cars and frankly it was not worth it really.

Tried lossless AAC today - car does NOT play them. It sees files, reads data and album art, but then says "Cannot play this song". Will try MP3s later. Also, car does not recognize 64GB stick formatted as exFAT. Only regular FAT works. Interestingly enough Mac can format stick as MS-DOS FAT, but...

Got my car couple days ago. I ordered Sound Studio and I am pretty picky about the sound. All my music is lossless and I own 3+ high end systems of various caliber. Anyway - Studio sounds pretty good for the factory system. Quite a bit better than BMW Logic 7 for example. I'd call sound as...

3/1 finalized 4/7 got delivery window 4/19-5/2 VIN showed up 4/12 DS emailed that car is in Seattle 4/15 Picking up 4/22

I believe in some states it is prohibited by law. I remember same situation years ago when I was buying a car and dealership only accepted a check

Finalized 3/1, 85KWh, delivery window 4/19-5/3

This happens every year in regular cars. First model year leather or nav or parking sensors or whatever are options, in the next year or two they become standard. Happens all the time.
