There are plenty of 4g OBDII trackers out there, but with the MS not having an OBDII it's useless. There is also the flaw of mobile connectivity being able to be turned off (unless pin to drive enabled). Anyone found viable options for this? I have an onboard security/traffic camera in addition...

Trying to duck the IRS? Don't. Auto purchases are one of the easiest ways to get caught.

Tried out Mad Max. Actually works pretty well. Makes a few stupid calls but generally quite good. Can’t wait to come out of Beta and have it auto-change. It did however have an event that it probably would have caught, but I intervened. A truck and I were turning into the same lane, I saw him...

Seeking to buy an OEM spoiler for model S (2018 model, if that makes any difference). Must he in either new or very good condition. PM or respond if interested.

Does Mad Max mode naturally veer left? I’m in Houston, right lanes clog up like crazy with people exiting. Someone hogging the left can expect to get a rear view mirror full of an F-350’s high beams if you’re not hitting the gas.

I get that it’s beta version and definitely feels the part, but with the MobileEye technology I don’t see where the excuse lies. MobileEye is leaps and bounds above almost everything, why is it not plug and play? I get that there are differences in calibration between test vehicles and Tesla’s...

For all those on AP2.5 that got navigate on Autopilot - what are your thoughts? Honestly kind of disappointed. - WAY too conservative on pestering you to get over right/left for an upcoming on/off ramp. Exit in 2 miles? Better get all the way over or it’ll have a panic attack. - Lane change...

They absolutely should. Just dump the thing off after QC I just wanted my car, took 3 hours as they fixed the seat warmer heating coil. QC is performed minutes before pick-up, I get it from a supply chain standpoint but boy does it suck for the consumer. They run way too lean to make the pick-up...

I’m in Houston, no chance you’d overload the grid in the energy capital but I see what you’re saying.

Definitely agree, off the line it can be a little too slow. Cars crossing in front of you it’s way conservative on, as well as a car turning off the road in front of you, have to give it some gas to act more human.

Probably too early to tell since it hasn’t been around long, but worth the shot. Any recommendations on leather cleaning products particularly for the premium white? Only on the armrests have I noticed any dirt accumulation at all but I’m hoping to keep that bright white as long as possible. I...

Got my 2018 MS a month ago. Honestly a worse experience than getting my Chevy SUV back in 2009. It’s an embarrassment how bad it is. Standing around for 3 hours makes you just think about how you should have bought a Porsche. BMW, Audi, Mercedes make the experience fun and memorable, Tesla was a...

I used plastiq briefly for my mortgage since I figured the cash flow deferral and points would be worth it, it’s not really. First Plastiq doesn’t take AMEX or Visa cards at all, those usually have the best rewards. Using a Discover I was getting 1% cash back, 30 day deferral, but overall the...

Look at the build quality of the M3. It’s atrocious. Gaps everywhere, poorly wrapped lining, interior feels like cheap Chinese junk net of the touchscreen. Model S isn’t to the caliber of a BMW or Mercedes by any means in build quality but it feels like a luxury car. Definitely model S.

Just curious, but what is the point of scheduled charging? Why not just let it go to your setpoint right away? Unless you have one of those free electricity plans at night I don’t get it.
