    My experience upgrading to MCU2

    Just want to add that I also just upgraded to the Intel infotainment on my 2017 2.5 S, and wow what a difference. They also upgraded my firmware from a very old 2022.8.10 to 2023.20.8 and finally got to see new features like Apple Music integrated and other things OP mentioned. Then last week I...

    Flat tire out of warranty options

    Is it possible to call Tesla Roadside Assistance for a flat tire? Is there a plan to pay for Tesla Roadside Assistance after the warranty expires? Can't find it if so. I already have ATT Roadside Assistance, but wonder if it is of any use for a Tesla if they don't bring a spare tire, or if I...

    Sorry no--didn't read the thread carefully enough.

    The way I look at it is if you can't even see a material difference in the frequency plots, any subjective audible difference would be a figment of the imagination. Looking more carefully at the curves around 2kHz, it seems that one band may be about 3-4dBC lower with the Bridgestones. Was that...

    Experiment done. Same stretch of two lane road, same direction, no traffic ahead, behind, or oncoming, no A/C, no music, same weather (clear day), 60 MPH on EAP, same handheld position of phone, recorded using AudioTools RTA. I used the screen capture feature of IOS to record the images every...

    Best Dashcam for Model S

    Obviously, there are many ways to define best, judging from the opinions here. Owl is different because it comes with built-in cellular with on board storage and no need for an SD card. The mobile app is well maintained and you can always check the app for clips or your car's location on a map...

    I can use the RTA in the AudioTools app.

    From what I thought I read the other day, I think Bridgestone's satisfaction warranty applies anywhere. Regardless, it is highly unlikely I would go to the trouble to exchange the tires. Anyway, I just finally pulled the trigger on the Quiettrack. About $180 discount with 15% off offer at DT...

    Discount Tire has as much as a 15% off promo in a couple of days, in addition to another $50 off. I might take the plunge on these Bridgestones. https://www.discounttire.com/promotions/4th-of-july

    The real test is how quiet they are when you step on the gas.

    Appreciate the feedback! As the only commenting Tesla owner with this tire, it looks like you're the authority on the subject. This is the only semi-formal review I've been able to find online. I didn't realize this was considered their flagship tire: Tire Review: Firestone Destination A/T2...

    Any thoughts with respect to cornering/handling/braking compared to the Goodyears? I'm still giving these some consideration.

    It does look interesting, but with hardly any reviews, it's not easy to pull the trigger on these right away. Since the focus seems to be on noise, longevity, and comfort, I'm anxious to hear how these handle on a Tesla. Otherwise, I've been leaning towards replacing my Goodyears this month...
