Don’t order this one, it’s a lie! They don’t have it. just dealing with this hassle now… they listed ultra red separate from multi coat red. But sent multi… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBQD4ZW2

I'd love to have "Snowy Parking Lot Donut" mode... But yea, it feels like a heavy, tall, beast that's more suited for drag racing if any performance racing was desired. Then again, as I mentioned donut mode... There are always multiple uses for being able to control how much power goes where.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but where do you put the jackstands? If you lift from factory approved jack points I don’t see where you’d use a jackstand?

Looks great. Tempted to order just for the rears… I wonder if the front scrape if a plaid goes into cheetah stance.

Just reading this thread and wanted to comment on this OLD comment, but the information needs to be spread... Faraday cages are not just metal enclosures. That actually doesn't stop any RF signals, it just adds more material they have to resonate. Which could actually EAT battery if it's getting...

@SunnySideUp - Did you try removing that big antenna board to see whats under it? Looks like that is new but right where the needed wires used to be. We can see in your pic a wire harness going under that...

nice; fronts look roughly the same length and actually a little wider. Wish they sold a rear flaps only to add to the OEM ones. :)

Any chance you can take a tape measure to the front ones so we can compare to teslas? Approx 6 1/8”w x 10”h

did you decide if that mirror mount was going to work?

Stories like this ensure I won’t pay for upgrades and won’t likely keep my Tesla’s past the warranty period. I’d completely agree a “provided” new part should be subject to its own 1 year warranty and/or the bumper to bumper warranty. Whichever is longer. And I suspect most people would view it...

Wow those look strikingly like the Tesla OEM ones in the front which I like more than any of the other amazon/chinese ones because they stick out more and actually protect. If these are the same it might be nice to pick up a set to finish off the rear ones Tesla ignores. Un-needed, but gives the...

Mine in Denver (June Build) did not. But I can also say the immediate rock chips I got would have been too far forward for the PPF to have stopped it. Ordered mud flaps and installed them and haven't had another since then (so far).

From the same thread I pulled those numbers from: 5 seat: 2777 kg (6122 lb) GVWR - 425 kg (937 lb) payload = 2352 kg (5185 lb) curb weight 6 seat: 2881 kg (6532 lb) GVWR - 500 kg (1102 lb) payload = 2381 kg (5249 lb) curb weight 7 seat: 2971 kg (6550 lb) GVWR - 575 kg (1268 lb) payload = 2396...

While I'm sure it's doable with money being a unlimited resource the big kicker can be seen in the GVWR changes between the models. For that to be changing it implies some structural elements are actually different between the trim levels and not just interchangeable parts. The 5 seat config...

Tesla's real upgrade is entirely a different compound pad. The "majority" of the product they sell however is a cosmetic upgrade to red and taking up more space as-if it was a bigger caliper. It's not.

He stated it's a Y I think? That's sold/produced in far greater quantities. (Assuming you are waiting for a X?)

It opens just a few inches *ALMOST ALL THE TIME*. But I have very very rarely seen it with a wide open space next to it open fully even with the refresh. No rhyme or reason right now on when it decides to do that though. The motors typically disengage after about 2 seconds. If you pull before...

I had the tss on my M3P before the X and they were a huge gain to me over the factory 20’s. Even being open. But I agree there is a balance at some speed…

10 degrees (f) should be considered 2% or approximately 1psi change per pressure/gas laws. Gay-Lussac's law, P1/T1 = P2/T2.

The biggest thing you could do is reduce weight of rotational mass. I imagine something like moving to a 19" TSportline TSS at ~24lbs a wheel could reduce power consumption more than any aero change.

My June build 23' MXP also seems completely smooth on acceleration. But I do have some vibration from 45 to 60mph or so that's not excessive, but certainly noticeable and annoying. From what I've read here it sounds like this is likely the tires being utter rubbish (the continentals). Finally...

Expect heavy to severe negative rear camber causing accelerated inner edge wear on your tires. Expect low is your target ride height. Expect various panel and door alignment issues. Expect soft paint and chips especially without mud flaps. Expect front door motors to only open a few inches and...

Much happier today after settling the suspension and doing the measurement on the most level pavement I have; I got -2 on both sides from the factory. Also got 3/16 inch total toe. That’s actually acceptable and will be excellent with the shims once I get myself a socket extension. Missed that...

If you are used to a new Y you won’t like the pre refresh X. It doesn’t have an amazing number of the same features. 2022 was the refresh that brought the X to the same feature set. Not that the others are bad, but it was the legacy tesla setup before things like rfid key cards, phone as a key...

It’s in my garage and pretty level up to that line across after the front wheels. Then it slopes down a lot. But that said I’m going to do what I can to find a perfectly level space without multiple slabs of concrete that could be out of whack.

I’ll work on this some more tomorrow, likely installing my shims as well. But the steps are zeroing the meter to the levelness of the ground under the tire. Then leveling the bottom bar to match that. And the vertical to a 90degrees from that. Thus it should be square and reading only the...

That's in low.

I need to spend some more time with my QuickTrick gen 4 alignment tool; but on my initial attempt (to read the stock camber as delivered): Calibrated sensor to tire/floor level. Set horizontal to equal to tire level. Set vertical to 90 degrees from horizontal. Did these on both sides. Drivers...

I’ve noticed occasional weirdness/intelligence from my driver side door (USS sensorless 2023 Plaid). *Sometimes* when I happen to be parked in a WIDE open area I hit the button - it actually opens ALL the way. But it’s never done it when it would hit something. And it rarely even tries erroring...

I’d imagine that gauge has the ability to be a good indicator but likely skewed by some toe, a small mount surface thats not directly centered on-axis, and potentially non-level floor? Still that seems excessive!

Steam games are the biggest thing you might want beyond media storage.

The catch is that the EPA rating is the maximum they can list; but they can voluntarily down rate to less. Ford for one I know did that to be more ”honest”? The truth is the EPA’s testing is not ideal for EV’s and needs to be changed to a 4 number system with expected wh/mile or mile/kWh for...

Generally speaking the EPA range for a tesla is very reasonable for the average person under one, albeit HUGE, catch. A) Temperature is such that AC nor Heating needs to run. B) If they do need to run; you don’t stop but rather continue driving non-stop at reasonable speeds with a large portion...

Could the axle shafts or motor spindles be out of balance? Couldn’t be fixed short of replacements, and they likely wouldn’t want to talk about that…Certainly acts like a mechanical moving part issue.

I used to be firmly in the ultra red group. But since it went free it’s now the least rare. So blue it is…

Yep thought about doing it that way, but this should allow the flatness not to matter since it mounts to the wheel and its reference point is the wheels surface and ground plane. To do it from the string lines needs it more flat than this should, in theory.

Agreed, the anti-tesla crowd would spread rampant stories about this and potentially force an official response or fix to the lack of logs on the theft. It certainly sounds like someone knows how to generate new keys via the network port by the display…

I ordered myself a Quick Trick 4th gen pro alignment tool setup and plan to tackle this install finally once I get that and measure my stock starting point. Will plan to update here what I see. The 5th gen seems insane for hundreds more when you could just drill and tap on some ruler ends and...

For those doing this just note the toe changes a little with the shim. The macsboost shims explain how much toe to correct to match it up before/after. Since this is slightly different someone needs to figure that adjustment out and share it.

No; he's suggesting it's a 2023 which means it should have the latest protections. At least thats what I read.

Consider that the orignal cars from the factory have never had a key paired with them. There is a process to do it. Likely someone knows that process.

More reason to add a AirTag or similar tracker and remove the speaker. Hide it well so you get a little time to track it before they get creative finding it.

They want $18 for shipping 2 vials of touchup paint... Which I’d be more apt to consider if someone can even confirm it matches…

The cheap generic mirror mount you linked will fit a model x? Any certain years only, as I'm pretty sure it wouldn't fit the palladium refresh models?

So this is a weird one and I suspect maybe I’m in a minority that cares. When I have my phone key in my pocket and walk down the hallway of my house that parallels my garage it unlocks and unfolds the mirrors of my X every time. Moments later I get the “honk” as it re-locks when I walk away. Is...

I suspect it’s on the back burner for the big FSD push. But there is no reason they can’t 3d model an area and have pretty accurate measurements to things when driving around. Much harder to 3d model an environment thats changed since it parked… Unless they always run the camera’s. Which they...

With the Model X you *will* need to use them more than with a 3 or Y. Just because the weight carries inertia and you have to fight that. And if you use the ”plaid” features you’ll find it can‘t stop anywhere near the level of it’s go… But I’d argue you likely don’t need it unless you plan to...

I see the same, brand new June build 2023 Model x plaid running 2023.32.4 and mirror reverse positions will not save. User manual clearly lists that this works.😭

One of us certainly is: https://x.com/sawyermerritt/status/1701602324878397611?s=61&t=n4HpGZW5wNrwLY8T8uVuzA Which of us is off?

But I think you get 100% of the benefit with the $750 brake pad upgrade (which is real) or you could go aftermarket pads for less and about the same upgrade. The caliper cover you could argue I suppose has more thermal mass and thus would allow you longer before it heats up, but it’s the...
