How about face recognition (like phones do) on one of the B pillar cameras 😉

Pedestrian interaction has been very good for me here in Texas. But….im not sure how long I can take this passing parked cars (residential areas) with only inches to spare between side mirrors. Or how close it keeps getting to the curb’s in and out of neighborhoods. That’s the only thing I...

WAY TOO CLOSE! Surely I can’t be the only one that notices how close V12 drives to curbs, cars trashcans….whatever.? Could it be only the S and X that does this? Due to the larger car footprint size? It is very smooth and much more human like. Makes good decisions for the most part and has...

Can’t it be as simple as adapting it to vertical screens that are used in the pre refresh cars? Or would that be a simple fast fix?

i seem to recall a setting you can tell the BMS what size tires you have on so it can more accurately give you a range estimate. I didn’t think earlier to ask if you had changed that .? I’ve never changed tire size so I haven’t played with it much.

I’m always still surprised how many people still think the displayed range number on the car is being derived based on someones driving habits, or freeway vs city, or temperature outside or weather or anything else like that. its JUST simple math using the cars wh per mile fixed number and how...

Some personal issues sidetracked my project, but now I’m back on the mission. I really like the look of the Meyle ones. that seems like a solid choice and has a good company behind them.

Yikes……after reading this entire thread this jumped out to me as a distinct possibility…..would seem a lab analysis of the coolant and type of oil would settle it. Hard to imagine a brake shop going t9 that much trouble to get to the cap and reservoir to “top it up” but it’s certainly not...

Thank you

Decided to finally get around to replacing my squeaky front upper control arms . Just need to decide to use the Tesla factory ones or can someone suggest a better quality or equivalent one after market ? RWD model S 2017. thank you.

Similar issue a couple years back. Mine ended up being a coolant issue and fluid wasn’t moving around. They finally replaced a 3 way valve I believe. In my case it would start to charge and soon after trip something (maybe heat related?) and then shutoff and blink red. you dont suppose...

@NV Ray i like the thought of someday maybe buying a new battery instead of buying a new car. I have taken great care of my car and it still looks and drives like new. If someday I need a battery to get many more great years from it, I would easily pay for it. still seems way cheaper than...

I have it currently on my S. I would love to keep it, and it’s been very handy over the years. Emotionally I think it’s awesome and don’t want to ever lose it, but the logical side of me does the math and for me at least it just hasn’t really saved me that much money over the years. 2 maybe...

You’re absolutely correct. I set them cold with no recent driving and then I typically have to adjust as it gets colder here in Texas. 41 is right on the edge of the warning
