Glad you're enjoying your car! You can hunt down that one guy that was saying the premium ones are better and swap with him.

An ozone generator will eliminate smells and kill bugs. Follow precautions when using it of course. There are some decently priced units you can buy online. Much safer than chemicals in a small enclosed space.

There's a large thread on these in the ordering section of the forum. I mean I wouldn't buy a new Tesla and perform eyeball surgery on it right away.

Ouch. It's hard to see. They'll be looking for any impact points to determine if you're on the hook for a replacement. 40 C normally wouldn't cause any issues.

Would you like some steak sauce to go with all that MEAT. Lol it looks pretty good to me. Helps that the PS4S is a great looking tire. I'm sticking with 20s for the look but 19s would be a nice compromise.

Lol better enable sentry mode to keep one2many's randy Tesla away.

Understood. Given that the NHTSA has approved the use of matrix headlights, Tesla could update the functionality any day now. Or maybe they'll keep it nerfed for the sake of not shafting those with premium lights. This entire thread..

Not sure but try a reset. Most of the software bugs I've noticed will disappear for a while after a reset.

I'd rather have the one with more capability but they both work great. The data from this thread is helpful. I can't think of another instance where Tesla switched between old/new parts like this. ie. Removing lumbar, removing radar, and not alternating parts due to supply/cost. Maybe they'll...

Not a solution but your headlights reminded me of this. 😄

You'll be fine if you're off a little bit. 129 is the number that the engineers settled on but maybe you know better lol.

Pretty much. Save yourself some stress and switch to battery percentage instead of miles.

Yea pretty difficult to steal a tesla unless they just tow it and disable tracking. If you're really worried you can make sure theft is covered in the insurance you choose. In a parking garage full of easy targets, it's not likely they would choose the annoying car with computers and cameras...

Eye lashes, put a fuzzy pink steering wheel cover on, powder coat those wheels purple, stick on some pink underglow LEDs, and add a tramp stamp on the trunk. Coolest mom on the block. You're welcome.

Alright fellas, what's the answer? 14 pages later it seems like any performance gains from reducing rotating mass are very minimal but still there?

Welcome! Nowadays there's ADMs on any of the fun cars I'm interested in. You'll have a lot of fun with the M3P though.

Sounds like a great deal. Let her get what she wants and trade yours in for a new Tesla. :cool:

A moderator who moderates himself is next level. Thanks for the heads up OP. I've seen aftermarket struts on other vehicles bend the hood etc. I'd get a powered trunk in a heartbeat though it's too nice not to have. :cool:

At its basic level a car is a tool and it sounds like it did the job well in a stressful situation. If I were to compare both styles of headlights, they both work equally well in nighttime driving situations. If I had issues with night vision I'd probably get a truck/offroad vehicle outfitted...

Reject it like the monkeypox! Or not. I'll trade your car's ryzen brain for my car's matrix eyes.

Physics has left my brain many years ago. But the perceived difference in wheel weight could also be affected by tire wear so I imagine the most accurate way to test is to swap old tires onto new wheels. Since you'd eliminate possible differences in rolling resistance between sets of tires.

This is a helpful info on what Tesla will/won't do around mods. I'm sure you'll be back on the track in no time. If you're ever in TX and need a torque wrench though I got you 😂

Glad you love it! In this shot, the silver wheels almost look white which I like quite a bit. I'm curious what you'll think when it's not in chill mode. Keep us updated.

But we're talking about sports cars, not heavy land yachts. ;)

There are plenty of people willing to pay to make the same mistake you did. 😂

I'd suggest thinking of maybe the top 3 things that you'd reject a car over and checking the rest at home at your leisure. In general, your ownership experience will be less stressful without obsessing over every detail.. Ah screw it, don't forget to bring your gap measurement tool and paint...

Lol that'll be the robo fleet's first task. No need for repo services, it'll drive back to Fremont on its own.

No it sounds like they misled you. :confused: Unless Tesla somehow misses the fact that it’s a salvage title, you’re out of luck with warranty coverage. It just wouldn’t make any sense for any manufacturer to cover a car that’s been titled that way (no matter if it’s easily repairable). If...

No salvage vehicle is going to retain its warranty.

I identify as a black and white cookie but I didn't see an option for that?

I'm interested in seeing more photos of these installed (various lengths and with and without matching caps). Maybe put them on the same wheel for comparison. ^ kinda like how they have their titanium on their website. Not saying you should copy em but just a comparison would be helpful. Is...

Neat! Let's see it in action. The only thing I don't like are the window louvres haha.

Ah here we go, our weekly thread on which interior to choose. It's a fun question and I spend too much time on here so I don't mind. The conclusion to all of these threads: White seats are 44 billion times better. But black is okay too.

Instructions unclear, phone is destroyed now. Lol this is great idea if you can't easily jack it up.

You calling my Tesla fat? 😂 When visiting friends I've seen it range from 3-5.

With the updated intel that the old headlights were used for only a brief stint in production, personally I'd wait for a car with the new lights.

Hope OP knows not to take this literally lol. No problem, if you get stranded @XPsionic will come tow you in his cyber truck. 😂

Might as well enjoy the new car with the fam and you'll find out all about the pros and limitations of a tesla. Keep in mind if a cement truck flings a rock at you, in the truck it might just bounce off the grille vs the much lower riding Tesla and all its juicy glass surfaces.

IMHO scratch and swirl protection from a ceramic coating is so minimal that it's not even worth mentioning. What company/installer covers blemishes and chips? This is normal wear and tear that I can't imagine any shop covering. Lastly, most paint protection films offer the option of...

It looks like those are Tsportline branded ones instead of the official Tesla ones. Try em out and report back.

If you look directly at the headlight while it's on, eventually you should be able to see a silhouette of Keanu Reeves. Lol jp, the matrix ones have a round projector shape in the corner and appear darker at the bottom.

Would be nice but giving us easy access would probably just be another headache for Tesla. I'm reminded of that instance where the guy kept checking sentry mode while his car was in the shop and getting frustrated when the shop wasn't actively working on the car.

Sounds like your vision car needs glasses haha. An increase in max AP speed is a welcome update.

But in Tokyo drift the police don't go after you if you go fast enough. Movies never lie. It's noticeable but the LR is plenty quick. Just don't drive an M3P again.

You madman. What are you doing with all of these wheels? All told, it's still cheaper than FSD lol.

Haha, dude. That's what you were talking about? You can touch it up and polish it smooth if you really want to fix it properly before PPF goes over it.

You don't need fancy equipment. Just do this test a thousand times for robust data. Satisfying your own curiosity is payment enough, let's go!

I guess life goes on there huh. Send this man a CT. I was curious about this, here's a tmc thread that may be helpful.

75%?? Nah give me a model 3 plaid! As the driver you're controlling the action so your head should either be back or your muscles are prepared for the acceleration so your head isn't flopping around like a newborn.

Hm that’s strange. You can keep them off and either use caliper paint or sprayable vinyl wrap if you want to change the look temporarily. Mods are great since the car only comes in a handful of colors and limited configurations. At the same time, if I swap out the entire suspension I’m not...
