    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    You would need to downgrade your firmware to mid 2019 or earlier. Note: I have it on very good word that 85 charging speeds are limited by observed pack health (it's not just a kWh/session counter, serial number list, etc.), so if you go down this path, you are circumventing something that is...

    Supercharger - Lawrence, MA

    No visible progress in the last week. Hopefully they wrap up quickly in the new year!

    Did my ecohitch bend my frame?

    @ropero If you have an update I'd love to hear what you found out on this.

    Limited Time: 100 kWh Battery Upgrade (S/X), Ludicrous+ Capable, 2 Year Warranty

    You mention the pack as not being nerfed. Is the nerfing actually tied to the pack itself, or is it in the BMS state it? E.g. if you take a nerfed back from one car and put it in another (with a BMS that has no memory of its usage), will it still be nerfed?

    Checking in...anyone still waiting for their eMMC refund check from Tesla?

    Still waiting for my refund. Been almost two years now since I submitted the docs. Received confirmation but never got the approval notice that some are mentioning. I tried to negotiate a credit of equal value with the service center when getting my MCU2 upgrade, but they said there's nothing...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    No warranty. I have scheduled a service appointment but my local SCs don’t have guidance on MCU2 availability, and it’s hard to get info out of Tesla corporate.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Has anybody heard inklings of when AP1 cars will be eligible for the MCU2 upgrade? My MCU1 just died. I don't want to deal with the cost and hassle of replacing my MCU1 eMMC, only to upgrade to MCU2 in a few months.

    Yankee Custom in Tewksbury will also do it.

    Elon Confirms S & X Are Chopped Liver

    Elon's addressed that a few times. They aren't building the Roadster 2.0 to make money. They're building it so that the world's quickest production car is electric and blows every ICE contender out of the water.

    Model S - Hitch discussion

    I'm not sure how feasible that would be. There is a welded on tiedown point that would need to move. I could cut it off but then I'd need another way to do the tiedowns: In the meantime, I've ordered the riser. I expect I will have to dremel/route out part of my bumper cover to get it to fit.

    Model S - Hitch discussion

    Thanks. How would you shorten the bar? Just cut it and drill another hole for the hitch pin?

    Model S - Hitch discussion

    Yeah, but a trailer creates other problems -- a bigger range hit, the need for lighting, difficulty parking at Superchargers, and additional registration requirements. If I can't find a solution I'll do it, but I'd rather not. A friend made a similar recommendation: to have a metal worker...

    Model S - Hitch discussion

    I installed an Ecohitch last week to bring my Onyx RCR with me, but found the clearance is just too low on a bike carrier: Most hitch risers reduce the tongue weight rating by ~50%, but I found this one which, according to reviewers who spoke to the manufacturer, only has a 15% reduction...
