    Blog Musk Says He’s the ‘Wild Card’ on This Week’s Saturday Night Live

    This is a genius move because everyone knows Elon is just terrible at public speaking ... I predict Mr Stiff is going to be so bad delivering his lines it's going to be HILARIOUS!

    My "No Spare Tire" Kit

    I don’t believe Mark did but I may be wrong. However I duplicated Mark’s set up perfectly after speaking with him last year. It works alright but with great cranking difficulty and stress on the VW/Audi/Porsche collapsing jack due to load. A little too weak & flimsy for my taste due in part to...

    Another rejected model Y

    As a fellow M3 & YP owner, I'd say you did THE RIGHT THING pal. Don't be deterred! I fully disagree with the all-forgiving Tesla Cult-boys defending poor manufacturing quality. The more product rejections Tesla receives over manufacturing errors the better! It will force them to improve their...

    German Court Bans Tesla from Advertising Autopilot

    Jokes aside, the term "Assisted Driving" with full "Autopilot" to soon follow would have been a much better & safer marketing approach.

    OEM TESLA roof racks Crack Glass

    My roof rack was meticulously installed by me using a Matco torque wrench. I had NO issues at all for nearly two years. Then suddenly it cracked out of nowhere. A quick inspection uncovered a few clues as to why this may have suddenly failed. Since the mounts are solid rubber, the corner mount...

    Which Do You Prefer and Why?

    Okay here is the Spoked wheel in place of the Model Y Performance Uberturbine wheel but this time in perfect proportion. The wheel gap in this pix is also back to its standard OEM Performance wheel gap, not further lowered as seen in my original post above.

    Which Do You Prefer and Why?

    One more reason: 4) Although the staggered Uberturbine wheels look more aggressive on a Performance Y, they cannot be properly ROTATED.

    Which Do You Prefer and Why?

    Absolutely, however there are many ways to solve this issue. The simplest is to purchase replica Sonics with the 3-Y bolt pattern and offset. The other is to swap out the hubs... I’m not that desperate though. The goal here is to reduce the unsprung weight as the Uberturbine’s are too massive...

    Which Do You Prefer and Why?

    Actually both sets (the YP and SP) share the same size tire and 35 series sidewall. It's the lighting giving that impression along with my sloppy disproportional PS work... My Bad!

    Which Do You Prefer and Why?

    The top and the bottom pix are the exact same picture, just different contrast and brightness settings. The YP's 21’’ Überturbine Wheels are optional on the Performance Y while the top & bottom pix are the 21" Sonic Carbon Twin Turbine Wheels off a Model S Performance. I apologize for failing to...

    Forget Everything I Have Said... I’m Now Totally In!

    Doesn't disprove it either! :D

    Forget Everything I Have Said... I’m Now Totally In!

    Please allow me to clarify... this is what the bet is riding on... from my first post: "Remember these words after the windows broke?... “Elon = Well there’s room for improvement!” My prediction will be once this baby is ready for prime time production, Elon will have another event where...

    Loud pop, Model 3 died?

    Thanks... Got it... my bad!
