Glad my wheel and tire fitment is good after seeing some of these :)

In the past I would drop the start/finish line pin out around where the finish was, hit start, do my run and hit stop. Most of the run would be recorded as lap 0 and it may flip to lap 1 before my run was over depending on where the pin was, but it didn't matter as I didn't care about the lap...

First event on the RE71RS's yesterday. Holy *sugar*, this car has never felt this good, way more predictable than the RT660's. Was back in the fight for FTD for the first time in over a year, ran a 27.256 but whacked a cone. It wouldn't have mattered anyway as Jay went out and laid down a flyer...

First 4 Cybertrucks delivered in Pittsburgh yesterday. Foundation dual motors

12.3 is an improvement in a lot of places... but this particular turn by the office is.... something....

Got to test on the way to work this morning. A vast improvement over v11 in smoothness however the speed stuff is absolutely infuriating and it still decides to use shoulders as turn lanes sometimes. In 2.5 years of testing this is the first release that gives me a glimmer of hope.

Installing now in Western PA

Tires are ready. Season starts 4/14, excited to give these a try after the misery of RT660’s

Problem I had with 18’s was finding something wide and not super short. Also in the RE71RS there’s not much price difference. Kuhmo V730 there’s a wider gap

Time to order tires for this season. Think I’m going RE71RS, just debating on size between the 275/35/19 and 285/35/19. The 275 is 10.9” according to tirerack and the 285 is 11.4”. The 265 RT660’s I had before were 10.9” and I ended up running a 5mm spacer in the front to gain a little extra...

You can make it work. You need a heated wheel retrofit board and a CANServer... I've had a heated wheel in my 2019 for a year now and it's been fantastic https://carnetics.myshopify.com/en-us/products/heated-steering-retrofit-control-board

265/35/19 RT660 on a 19x10 +35 on stock performance rotors. It was a little close for comfort so I run a 5mm spacer up front.

My RT660’s are well used as well. 2nd season on them and I’m officially done with them forever. I’ve never been able to find pressures I was happy with, most recently I’ve settled on 36F/34R Today was the last of the season. A frustrating event due to rain that seemed to happen just before my...

Sunday was event #7 on the year. These 660's are well beyond their service life so I lent a seat to a buddy again who has been autocrossing FWD cars for 20+ years. Was interesting seeing him adapt to the car but couldn't keep it off of the cones, mainly from sliding the rear into them lol. He...

Did I teleport back to 2020? Hi, welcome to 2023, you’re welcome to join the conversation when you catch up

I’ve been misinformed

Gonna find out this winter. I just picked up a set of 235/45/18 FK460's to throw on a set of 18's I have for winter. I also will not be leaving the house if we get any significant amount of snow lol

Haha... Yes, This guy! Sorry was too lazy to scroll back 🤣 I put my service request in as an issue with the Touchscreen as any other option told me my software was up to date. Scheduled Mobile service for next week. Have a buddy who is a service advisor at the local service center who is...

I think you're referring to the guy I just quoted a few back. He said he opened a service request. I just opened one and seeing where that goes.

Man how the hell did you get past the service request screen. It keeps running diagnostics for me and then saying I'm on the latest software

Points event 6 was yesterday. Rain started about 15 runs into the event so I got 4 very slick runs and 2 dry runs once the sun came out. My RT660's are well past their service life but I have 2 events left this year so just going to ride it out and go to RE71RS next spring. Ended 4/93 raw and...

Appreciate the recap, I can’t keep up with anything anymore. I’m #2 so I’m fked lol

Anyone have any luck being moved from the "Early FSD" group to the "Mainline FSD" group? I'm pretty sad about still being on 2023.7.30 when there are some features I have wanted that have been out since spring lol.

This. Our local SCCA region has become very focused on national events and building courses to practice elements they would see at national events etc. It seems like they have lost focus on running fun local events first

We aim for 6 timed runs per event. But we get 80-120 people per event and courses are in the 20-40 second range. All runs count. If we get done early we do paid fun runs ($1 per run) to help fund the club.

Uh yeah counting only the first 3 runs is certainly not the norm around here at any club or region I've run with.

I do have a CANServer installed, I guess I could have it log to SD Card but not having to do anything extra besides click start in Track Mode sure is nice lol. I think you also can't get GPS data via the CANBus which is one of my favorite parts of the trackmode logs.

Interesting. I like my data though! I wish we could disable front and just get the sides lol.

My mom sent me a video she recorded of Cam my codriver redesigning the course and making a wall of cones disappear.

Seeing who the tow was, I would have rather pushed. 🤣

Congrats to everyone that showed up and ran at nats! Meanwhile our fall season started yesterday... a buddy of mine got in from Nationals at 11:30pm Saturday night and posted looking for a codrive because he didn't feel like unloading his STR Miata from the trailer so I offered up the Tesla...

Also required to hear Tirerack ads every 30 seconds over the PA 🤪

https://www.scca.com/articles/2017481-two-scca-members-pass-away-from-incident-at-packwood-prosolo Sorry for everyone’s loss that knew them and were there. It was a very bad weekend for amateur motorsports.

"Hearing". Otherwise, there were no "reckless" accusations or assumptions in what I posted. I'm sure there will be some sort of a statement soon given the unfortunate loss of life.

Hearing 2 people died. A driver and someone on foot. Hopefully some info about what went wrong comes out so that we can all learn what could have been done differently. The SCCA loves to sweep incidents under the rug and give a false sense of safety to new drivers, all forms of motorsports are...

Sounds like a pretty shitty day in Packwood 😢

Wow.. with a local dealer? High volume dealers are saying 8-10mo

It's probably the factory alignment, I hear they're setup to understeer terribly from the factory to stop boomers from killing themselves with the weight in the rear. Get it switched over to the recommended track alignment Planning on getting a C8 on order next year. I would trade the Tesla...

RaceRender with Tesla Track Mode data. I had shared my template years back that I know a few people are using or used as a base, I can always post an updated one.

Looks like 4 of the top 5 at nationals in ES in 2017 were Miata’s. I wish you the best in your quest for sure but there are lots of us that have been working with this car for 4+ years at this point, it’s not like it’s unfounded pessimism ;)

By 0.070 and no one has come close to raw timing BS again at nationals in a Model 3. Certain courses can certainly benefit the Tesla, if I recall Marcus stopped running the Tesla because he found it quite dull. I honestly hated running my car in street class trim. granted I didn't have shocks...

I just don't think the performance gap between SS and AS is significant enough to celebrate a change. Checking some national event results from the last year there are plenty of times that AS cars raw timed all of SS. A fully prepped AS C6 Z06 is pretty OP. I think even a BS build if it was...

I wouldn't waste time with a street class build on a Tesla JMO. It's pretty dreadful without camber and better springs/bearings. 3 Performance won't be able to be competitive in AS much like it couldn't compete in SS

Almost like what they should have done in 2019 but I was told AS was a "corvette class" and was untouchable.

Much slalom.

A fellow Tesla autocrosser twisted my arm enough to get me to forego my SCCA boycott and attend the local regions event yesterday. (He needed a codrive so technically it was his money 😂) Anyways it’s a much bigger site than what I’m used to, had a great time and ended up 8/120 in raw and 9th in...

Yesterday was our last Spring event and my first since the new poly compliance arm bushings and alignment. I have to say getting some toe in in the rear has helped the car feel way more planted and less twitchy. I used to only run -3 stability because I felt like the car was constantly on edge...

Was quite normal on the old RE71R
