    Tire sidewall damage, replace?

    I would, not worth the risk of a blow out. Not a lot of meat on the sidewall. I would get the wheel repaired and repainted as well. I did this last week.

    DU going bad?

    I have a whining noise that is getting louder under load. It's not horrible but at 80K is it showing age. Not sure you can hear this well so turn it up.

    285/30 R21 on staggered 9.0" Turbines?

    Correct 295/23-20 Slightly small diameter then OEM at 28.1"

    285/30 R21 on staggered 9.0" Turbines?

    Ok so I ran the calculator. 10" +40 vs 9" +40 Inner clearance = 13mm more. Outer Position = RETRACT by 13mm The centerline doesn't change so it's just the extra 1/2" on each side so width wise it will fit.

    285/30 R21 on staggered 9.0" Turbines?

    I have 20x10 on the rear with a 295 tire. The wheel offset is +40. You can do the math and see if it will work on the stock 21 offset.

    Even if Tesla was ok with it PG$E would have an issue with Net Metering.

    Has anyone been able to "fix" this bug with a BT connection - car drops the volume on my cell phone

    I'm using an App called Volume Lock. Works but it shows on the screen the up and down so you can't access that side of your phone.

    Coronavirus pandemic drives up gun payments

    Perfect example, I wanted a 380ACP. Kahr makes a CW380 MSRP $380. Not allowed in CA. I had to get the P380 MSRP $726. Same for the Ruger LCP II, and any new generation Glock. The manufactures are not providing the new models to CA.

    Coronavirus pandemic drives up gun payments

    I'll give you my toilet paper when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. In a true catastrofe those that are armed will be better prepared to defend themselves when the *sugar* hits the fan. Law enforcement will be overwhelmed or fail to come to work. The last few disasters have proven it. But...

    To the Black Model 3 that blew past me on West 80 in Davis

    I hope you didn't go to jail. I was doing 75MPH when you passed me like I was standing still. Then 20 seconds later a Charger CHP flew past at about 150MPH. You made it to Dixon when I drove past you too. That's going to be one expensive ticket.

    My Carvana Experience

    Is it a electrical kind of sound. Mine sounds like a Tie Fighter when I touch the pedal but stops when I lift. Not super loud but if the radio is off I can hear it.

    Help Buying an Out of State Tesla Model S

    If the loan is paid off CA DMV will send the pink slip to the owner. He will have to fill out and sign off to the new owner. You then take this to your DMV for transfer and pay your taxes if any. In the eye of government it's just a car. Having a Tesla account isn't necessary. Having the car...

    Please help me choose my shoes !

    Facinate, love the look. I'm staggered as well and fit a 295 tire without issue. You would have more tire choices going to a 20" so make sure you have a good selection with the 21" wheels.

    Punctured tire. $98.00

    The repair kits are great if the tire is removed from the car. It's a pain to get the punch to go though and you need your full weight behind it. Laying on the ground with the nail facing a small section of open fender is going to be difficult to do.

    98% for max charge?

    I do that every week almost daily. No change. I too have noticed at 90% over night if the pre heat comes on before you get in the car it's using the battery now not the wall charger. So the car starts off with 88% or 89%
