    Another front suspension control arm failure

    Clearly there is an issue. Today my control arm snapped while backing out of a parking spot. As you can see, the car is literally sitting on the tire. I only have 20,000 miles on my 2017 Model S. I had it towed to Tesla, but thankfully this happened at low speed.

    Brake caliper painting in Vancouver, BC

    Oops I just saw that you already got a quote from them. Considering the amount of labor involved I thought their price was very reasonable.

    Brake caliper painting in Vancouver, BC

    There is a place in North Vancouver called "Renewz". They did mine and they look amazing. I believe it was $400 for all the callipers. Just google the name for the contact info. They also painted my rims and did a great job.

    WTB Tesla Coffee Mugs

    I just broke my father- in- law's Tesla coffee mug I got when I bought my Model S and gifted to him. He is completely devastated because he loved that mug. I searched Amazon, eBay, and even contacted Tesla to try to buy a replacement. No luck:(. If anybody has one or a set of 2 of the Black...

    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    If I can find a company that sells lowering springs for the "non-air" suspension I will forsure. If anyone knows where the lowering coils can be purchased please give me a link. I have tried to find it and failed. They don't seem to make them for the 75D. Only available for the non- D version...

    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    20 inch Staggered wheels- 10.5 inch wide rears and 9.5 inch wide fronts (rears are 295)... Wish I could find coils to lower it 1 inch (Sadly i didn't get the Air suspension and I bought it just before it became standard (early 2017 build).:( But I think it still looks pretty good even without...

    Usable KW Doesn't match up??

    I will give that a try. Thanks. I might just try to stop trying to understand, and simply accept. :(

    Usable KW Doesn't match up??

    @JohnnyG I appreciate the links for TM-Spy app, but I think that goes beyond my technical experience. I feel like I need an electrical engineering degree to understand it. lol. I suck at math... thats why I went to Law School. lol.:confused:;)

    Usable KW Doesn't match up??

    Hmmm. I suppose that would make sense, But it seems a bit high to be using 12 Kw for "other" power consumption out of gear.

    Usable KW Doesn't match up??

    So i recently did a little test with my Model S 75D. I charged to 100%, and ran the battery down almost to zero miles left to see what the usable Kw were (just approximate). What I found (fig.) is that the number was not even close to what people have reported as the usable KW for a model 75...

    Tire Pressure missing in vehicle status display

    Somewhat on the same topic, when I pull up that same screen I get a tire pressure measure in "Bars" instead of "PSI" Does anyone know how I can change that, or do they all come like that?

    Blackvue or Thinkware dash cam, and installer in San Diego

    I installed the think ware F770 with rear camera and parking recording wire harness (extra 50$ here in Canada). The image quality is great and there are no issues reading plates even at night through 20% tint. Very happy with the Thinkware purchase over BlackVue(nothing wrong with blackvue, I...
