    For sale FS: Tesla OEM 2021 Model Y AWD Suspension Parts

    I upgraded the suspension in my 2021 Model Y AWD and am selling the Tesla OEM parts. The mileage on the car was about 7,000 when the swap was done. I'm in San Diego and open to local pickup, but I'd be willing to drive and meet a buyer halfway in the SoCal area. I have no idea about the value of...

    New tires with sidewall?

    I have 18" wheels and Michelin Defender 2 tires (downsized from 20" wheels on my 2018 Performance Model 3 for better ride quality and less pothole damage worry). The tires ride very nice and have a 60K mileage warranty. I'm on track to get that many miles on this set of tires. Highly recommended.

    What's "them" for $300? There's a set of shocks and springs listed here. I have the same thing just removed from my Model Y and am trying to figure out how to value them as well...

    My on going battle regarding my purchase of a used 2013 Model S P85+

    Do the seats have a different color piping on the edges? That's a sign that the car is a Performance model. Are the wheels staggered? That was what they did with the + model. I'm suspicious of the dealer saying "we put a standard motor in it"...Most dealers wouldn't know how to do that. And...

    My on going battle regarding my purchase of a used 2013 Model S P85+

    Anyone can get current stickers on an EV that has never had them before. Either from a previous CA owner, or if the car comes in from out of the state.

    Buy EV in another state with No Sales Tax?

    Not sure where you are located, but here in CA they charge sales tax when a car is bought new in the state and a "use" tax when a used car is bought (either in-state or brought in from out of state). The use tax is equivalent to the sales tax rate. So if I buy a new car here, I pay sales tax...

    Weird ChargePoint Electrical Inspection in NJ

    Where I live, the average commute (pre-Covid) was 30 miles per day. Since so many work from home a day or two here and there, the average commute could be a little bit less than 30 miles per day now. A 20 amp circuit at 208v or 240v that will charge at 16 amps continuously is perfectly fine for...

    Help with Grand Canyon Road trip

    In 2014, we made a trip to the Grand Canyon in our Model S and ended up charging at the campground there for a few hours so we could get back out to Interstate 40 and on to the next Supercharger. They were very nice about it...

    Shipping CEO Angela Chao, sister of former Cabinet member Elaine Chao, died after car became submerged in pond, WSJ reports

    Since the initial post / news story, more information has come out about the incident. Toxicology tests showed that Ms. Chao's blood alcohol level was 0.233 (about 3x the legal limit), and she backed over a limestone block wall before the vehicle entered the water. Very sad...

    Alternative, DIY refresh Model X rear camber correction

    I only bought the UP rear camber arms and had them installed and adjusted while in the low position. Here is a readout of the final alignment numbers. I blanked out the initial numbers because they aren't accurate and I didn't want to distract from the discussion.
