Done. On topic: Dropped by the site yesterday, looks like some of the conduit is in place now. So, that's something.

Yeah, but that's not really part of the discussion here because the 20" wheels are the same width as the 18" wheels, the included tires are the same width, and the lower aspect of the PS4S on the 20" wheels makes the overall diameter about the same as the MXM4 tires on the 18" wheels.

Yes. Nobody has beat my P3D- Dragy time yet and it was done on 18" aero wheels and all season MXM4 tires:

Yeah, Tesla has kicked the can on this one 3 or 4 times already... As I recall, all of the older Model S and X were included in last year's data plan amnesty announcement.

My P3D- stickered at $75k (before taxes, destination, etc.). The exact same configuration today (based on this thread) would be $57k. Granted, I got the full $7500 federal tax credit, the $2500 California rebate (which I'm no longer eligible for... blast that rebate limit ;) ), unlimited free...

The press works using interchangeable dies, which is why it can make more than one part...

I can't recall when it started, but it has been noticeable for probably a couple years now. Based on the responses above, it looks like Tesla will honor it as a warranty repair. The Model 3 is fantastic. :D

I should probably take my Model S in for that...

Make sure you report back with an update after getting this resolved, as there are quite a few of us who have yet to decide whether the ESA is worth buying.

You have got to be kidding me. After all this time, this is what they're going with? I mean, yes, there is the note about some sort of alternate solution being in the works... but, seriously?!? Next, is Tesla going to start considering the old screen delamination issue (bubbles, leaking goo...

Just be aware that, while dropping the pack in a Model S or X is a pretty simple task for a service center and carries virtually no downsides when done correctly, removing the battery from a Model 3 requires removal of much of the car's interior to expose bolts that run through the floor pan and...

And this is why I've given up on attempting to test the efficiency impact of the aero covers... there are some good sections of road out here to test on, but the wind variability makes good data across consecutive runs elusive. I've thought about running two cars simultaneously, which does...

If Tesla found themselves in a situation where cell production greatly exceeded the demand from new car production, then I could see Tesla considering pack upgrades. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to divert cells away from more profitable new car production.

That's what happens when the rate change effectively cuts most of your solar generation credit in half... it's part of why I'm researching expanding my 6 year old 5kW solar array with an additional 5kW (plus, it'll mean I'll have enough generation to feed the two Powerwalls that Tesla should...

Known issue and, for the most part, it's not that it doesn't work, it just takes a while to switch from black to the camera feed. The issue popped up a few versions back and will hopefully be resolved in a future update.
