Ahh.....I thought it looked familiar! I just couldn't remember where I'd seen it. At least we now have a 2nd source.

Check out T Sportline's subwoofer and amp upgrade. They provide a dual voice coil sub driver with a beefy magnet and a 300 watt (150 w/ch since it's a dual voice coil driver) amplifier. Install looks fairly straightforward. One thing I'd do differently is to line the plastic sub box with some...

This is an important point. When evaluating solar film, look at the Total Solar Heat Rejection (TSER). With the better films, at 80% you'll usually see about 49-50% TSER. As you get darker, the TSER doesn't increase significantly. A 50% film won't have much higher than 60% TSER. But now you've...

I've had darkish tint in the past on a Jeep Cherokee. It made seeing at night too difficult. If I were to tint the windshield at all, I'd probably just stick with the 80%. Even at 80%, on our hot 110° days in the summers, I can feel the difference in the amount of heat hitting my forearm when...

80% Crystalline does not look very dark at all. I have it on my side windows. I'm kind of loathe to installing tint on my windshield because most will cause rainbows with polarized sunglasses. Plus as I get older, seeing at night has become more difficult. And I live in an area that has no...

YEP. That's what I found. My wife hasn't registered for her free Apple music yet on her iPhone. I don't think she registered for her Tesla premium audio account either (or whatever they call the subscription for Tesla). So if she gets into the car before I do, the easy entry toggles to her and...

Tesla, like any other business, will look for a way to cut costs by denying coverage by any means possible. If you've modified your suspension and they can plausibly claim that the modification affected the part you are seeking warranty coverage on, you're likely out of luck. It stinks, but...

The point is, what's your recourse if Tesla denies warranty coverage? Unfortunately Tesla doesn't have to "prove" anything. The burden is on you the consumer. You would most likely have to litigate the matter. Good luck with that.

Magnuson Moss is a toothless law. Let's say you mod your suspension and there's an issue. Tesla denies warranty coverage. You should "Magnussen Moss!!!". Tesla tells to go pound sand. Now your only option is to hire a $450-650/hr attorney to go and litigate the matter. It will take a year or...

I think Tesla might void any warranty on the suspension and things associated with the suspension. More worrying would be if they voided the warranty on the drive units due to a suspension change out.

I'm thinking about the AW01's in 18" for our 2022 MY LR7. Your website shows 18" X 8" with +25 offset or 18" x 8.5" with +35 offset. Which one is correct for a tire that's equivalent to the diameter and load rating of my existing OEM tires for the Geminis? And is there going to be another...

Tesla is one of the few automakers who set up the soundstage to be in front of you. Most companies set the sound stage to be behind your head it seems, which is just plain wrong.

Did you or anyone else install the rear subwoofer driver upgrade? How much of a difference did the new sub driver make? Another forum member did the HepaKing Alpine speaker pkg in the front and went with Orella Acoustics sub and amp package.

262 Wh/mi over the last 10k mi. I'm surprised it's not higher since it's well over 90° and even over 100° just about every day in the summer. Even now we're still seeing mid-80° temps. In the winter it gets down to the 30's. And at least 2/3 of the time we have our three 12 yr old boys in the car.

What is Tesla's wheel load rating requirement for the MY LR 7 seater?
