I would be more concerned about tires that are 19 months old being sold as "new."

I kept trying FSD (free). In my region of DFW, with erratic road striping, variable lane widths, I can only characterize it as ...neurotic as hell. The constant steering adjustments drove me crazy, and never allowed me to chill. Also, reversing into a parking lot space? Multiple forward/reverse...

Looks normal to me. Can you post a clearer photo, with the exact problem circled?

Warranty is 4 years, 50k miles.

evbuyer18: Are you still on the alignment from the factory? Big mistake. ALL cars from ANY manufacturer should have their alignment checked by an independent tire/suspension shop. I've never trusted any alignment from the factory.

Uhh...yup! The industry PR raves about the weight-saving advantages of aluminum, but totally ignores the cost of repair, or rather, the inability to repair and the necessity to replace body parts after damage. Welcome to the world of capitalism!

Environmental differences, as well. Humidity, acid rain, pollutants, extreme temps, etc. play a role in wiper longevity. My 52k wipers live in TX, with its extreme high temps, BUT...the car is home garaged (unconditioned garage) during daylight hours, probably 80% of the time.

Huh? For $15000, I could replace my MPP coilovers THREE TIMES, including labor.

52k miles, 12/2020 purchase 3.5 years. OEM.

Nope. Nothing special about Tesla glass, comes from a shared manufacturer of glass.

Uhh...nope. 50 years of car ownership here and an avid reader/researcher. There is no substantial evidence that Tesla windshields are inferior. No auto maker makes their own windshields. They all come from the same glass manufacturers. EVERY auto forum has lengthy threads about their...

There are several newer seat protectors that have rigid bottoms, which is a great improvement over the hammock style. The one I purchased has side panels with straps that hang from the rather flimsy Tesla coat hooks. Based on experience, I strongly recommend tethering your dog at all times. Even...

jr_gn: Can you be more specific?

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806511476509.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa Has anyone purchased this? I don't need a large cooler, just one for road trips. I'm concerned about warm air evacuation, reliability. (My rear subtrunk is taken by my cleverly installed Vredestein SpaceMaster! 🤪 :eek:)...
