Which way?

Good point on the CarFax. You are correct, there is some paint work. The $3K quote I got from a non-Tesla shop was to remove the fender, straighten it out, sand it, and paint it. One thing that is odd is that I feel a little alignment issue that just came on the last week or so. Since it...

We have a very narrow (18') two-car garage that is about 100 years old and probably built for a Model T. My wife pulls in frontward and I back in so both driver doors can swing open to the center. Anyway, long story short, I clipped the garage pillar backing in and dented the front-right...

Did you get an estimate for this? If so, and you don’t mind sharing, I’m curious what it was. I have a similar issue. In my case the dent isn‘t as bad, but I have some paint damage. I took it in for an estimate at a Tesla authorized place and the estimate was $6K. i am in shock and wondering...

No problem. It also matched the stormtrooper colors of my Model 3 😄

I ended up going with the RTIC 45 and received it yesterday. It fits perfectly. You can even open it a bit to access the contents without pulling the cooler out of the trunk. I didn't want a super long cooler and from the reviews/tests I saw online, it will keep things cold for a very long...

I noticed that, too...which is why I was going off the dimensions on Walmart.com. Maybe Igloo has replaced the model? Here are the links that The Wirecutter article has: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-Maxcold-70-qt-Hard-Sided-Cooler-Blue/47501131 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01265YO1W **...

I can’t confirm as I am looking for the same thing, but one of the Wirecutter’s picks…the Igloo MaxCold 70 may do the trick. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-hard-cooler/ The Walmart site has the dimensions as: Assembled Product Dimensions (L x W x H) 29.50 x 16.50 x 15.88...

I don't want anything that pulls power from the car. I don't want another way to worry about battery drain. I am debating between the RTIC 45 and the COHO 55 Quart Rotomolded Cooler from Costco. Both are just under 16" tall so they should fit in the trunk.

Thanks for posting this. I really want to buy an RTIC 52 but I went out to measure and came to the same conclusion...the trunk is 1/2" too short.

I noticed the exact same thing yesterday. I had to double-check to see if the climate was even on because it was not blowing warm air.

If Elon put out a car with oval wheels, how many would he sell?

i think you made the right call. This reminds me of Apple removing function keys for the Touch Bar thingy and pushing everything to dongles…..why? It’s almost like the designers have wagers to see how far the sheep will follow them. I would try it, but I doubt I would thrown down cash for half...

I assume it’s volume. It a measure of economic impact. The S&X probably don’t move enough units.
