    Michelin CrossClimate 2 finally coming to Model Y size

    FYI Just installed 4 new Michelin CC2 at Costco. Previous tires at 41K , I figure I could go for another 5K but I can tell car skids on wet roads after rain so I don't want to take a chance. The treads of CC2 look aggressive, initial ride was great, will report more in the future. While...

    Black Model Y Waiting Room

    (Just not perfect but this was expected.) As long as U are happy that's all it counts Sad that Tesla owners are "expected" some defects. We owned a 1987 Camry, 2007 RAV4 and currently 2015 Lexus CT200h and we expect NOTHING but the BEST Just a funny story about quality control. Back in the...

    Michelin CrossClimate 2 finally coming to Model Y size

    Cinturato P7 vs. P7 AS PLUS 3? I don't know the difference. I never had PIRELLI so I don't know anything about this brand. Since the names are different I have to assume they are different tires hence price difference. BTW....I like Lexus 430, almost bought it but I went with MB E-320 and...

    When is structural battery pack & 4680 cells coming & Why are you not waiting until then?

    longer range would require larger battery using the same battery technology. Most of us need to pee after 200-250 miles anyway ... hahahaha

    Hydroplaned and crashed. Driving for 50 years. Never happened before.

    Couple practical applications about "lubrication theory" Watch the Pro Bowlers on TV: the first 3/4 of the lane the ball went relatively straight (because of little CoF at higher speed) even though we know they put a lot of spin on the ball, then all of the sudden the last 1/4 lane the ball...

    Vendor Antigravity Group 51R LiFePO4 Lithium battery for Tesla Model 3/Model Y

    From what I understand, Tesla Y and 3 models delivered after March 2022 would have AMD chip and new Lithium Ion chip, same as that of in X and S models (not LiFePO4)

    Hydroplaned and crashed. Driving for 50 years. Never happened before.

    Just my personal opinion EV has higher torque so drivers have a tendency to have fun with initial acceleration hence tires would wear out faster I have lighted foot on car so most tires would last 50K miles. I replace them before its time. Same thing with 12v battery, I replace them between...

    If we spend time and read up on "Lubrication theory" and how it impacts CoF then it's very easy to explain hydroplaning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubrication_theory https://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/336L/Fluidhtml/node139.html https://rotorlab.tamu.edu/me626/default.htm

    Homelink Garage Door Button Locations - Left vs Right

    Sounds like I am going to stay with current hand-held garage opener for the time being until "Gen2" of Tesla homelink system. Trust me I am high-tech guy but I don't buy high-tech products until I am comfortable with. When I retired in 2013 I was working with Intel, AMD, TSMC, Micron, and...

    Hydroplaned and crashed. Driving for 50 years. Never happened before.

    Read up on "Lubrication theory" then we would know that hydroplaning is related to higher speed and ability of tires thread to remove water. If not then there will be a thin layer of water between tires and wet road resulting in lower coefficient of friction then hydroplaning

    March 2022 MYP order

    that sucks big time... Blame on supply chain issues. IMO (this is the guessing on my part) Tesla could use available parts and get car with highest profits out of the door first , not FIFO

    2022 Y Long Range- Matrix headlights?

    Honestly, right now Elon M does not give a sh$t about what customers get UNTIL Tesla has major competitors coming in like Lexus and Genesis. Look at Lexus and Genesis have done to MB BMW Audi Porsche high end auto market. Can they do it again? History says they can

    Punctured tire repair, tire out of stock - advice

    If U trust TPMS from fleaBay then more power to U Why not buy directly from Tsportline to be sure? I would buy directly from Tesla for a $60K car which replace every 10 yrs? or I would buy from Costco if they have those for Tesla

    Any PG&E rebates in bay area, CA?

    in DE (1) rebates on Wall charger installation depend on who your ePower company is (2) no credit on EV car if "total" price is over $60K which is the case of MYLR

    Punctured tire repair, tire out of stock - advice

    for TPMS I probably would not trust buying from fleaBay, granted I buy a lot of thing from eBay but "fake" items can't hurt me like golf clubs, tennis grips, mubflaps etc... I would not buy from Amazon either, fake items from Amazon as well, OK but not for essential items I would be surprised...

    Punctured tire repair, tire out of stock - advice

    I know nothing so I ask Do we have to use TPMS (bluetooth) sensor from Tesla? Do we know if Costco tire center would have "similar" thing? I use TPMS from Costco for my Lexus 2015 CT200h and 2007 RAV4, unless the one from Tesla is designed to only talk to Tesla software, which could be the case
