    Why is interior lighting so dim!?!?

    Too dim. It’s not like we turn them on all the time but when we do, we need enough light. Very difficult to read anything with these lihhts

    Auto Dimming Mirrors.... Kinda Dark

    The side-motors are way too dark at night. I have not tinted windows, thanks god otherwise I would not have been to see AYTHING at all. I have to say it’s really dangerous when I’m trying to change lanes at night on freeway. I almost don’t do it because I can’t see anything but some headlights...

    Amazing and detailed write up. I have to ask a dumb question: is it not possible to use a USB splitter so we can use one USB port for both music and dash-cam?

    Business owners in US can buy a new Model X for less than a Model 3

    And answering the question about the sale time limit for claw back: its the same 5 years!! So even though you get immediate tax deduction first year for X, you will have to keep it for 5 years or you will have to give the money back!!

    Business owners in US can buy a new Model X for less than a Model 3

    Let me be clear that I actually tried hard to convince myself to buy X. I read and thought and calculated and asked A LOT! But I could not fight the numbers.

The reason was that, even though you are correct about the new regulations allowing 100% tax deduction the first year...

    18" Center Hub Cover

    How much your estimated sales price? I would love to have something decent on my 18s but haven't found any around so yours might be a success. RPMTesla has some for 19s, but not 18s. I hope you don't mind I say that personally I like the look of theirs better than yours but they are only for 19s...

    Any way to upgrade the dome lights

    I agree those dome/map lights are extremely weak/dim. I would love to see a solution too. I don’t think the upgrade lights mentioned above are compatible with the dome lights( they are not mentioned in their charts)

    WaffleJL: It looks very nice! But I have to second SJC3: is that paint on the rotor?! If so, they should at least clean it up for you now.

    Do they paint on the car or take the calipers off and bleed the brakes? Are you happy with the result? Would you mind posting some pics.
