    Computer issues MCU? Center Display Unavailable

    Noticed last night that my heater was continuously running and internal temperature was 109. I tried to turn it off via the app and nothing changed. Went into car and saw I had the "Center display unavailable" message and turned the AC/heat controls off.. Nothing changed. I did both types of...

    Seeking forum help on choosing new tires

    This was perfect timing for this thread as I'm also in need of some new tires (33k on the OEM Goodyears). I live in the Phoenix area and have a standard S (non-P) with 19s. I was leaning towards the Continental Extremecontact DWS 06 and was just waiting for Continental to offer a rebate...

    Direct Sales Bill in Arizona Next Year

    Does anyone know who within the state legislature was specifically for and against this bill? With the upcoming election this is one topic that will help me decide where my vote is going.

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    Another "use tax" question. I registered my S in June and was hit with Scottsdale's 1.45% "use tax" in November. I'm in the process of doing my taxes with TurboTax and am planning on deducting the state and county sales tax (6.6% total) that I paid when I registered the vehicle. My question...

    Charging at work

    1. Does the company charge you? How much? My company charges $0.50 per hour of charging, regardless of how much electricity is flowing. There is no charge if plugged in but not charging. My understanding is that this time-based method of charging is based on AZ state regulations. I actually...

    Sunshade for windshield

    I bought one of the Heatshields from Amazon and am regretting the purchase. As others have mentioned, it rolls up rather than folds, but the direction it rolls up is awkward and it's so large that you can't flip it over to roll it up tight. Plus, once it heats up it sags pretty severely...

    Scottsdale Use Tax The Scottsdale Use Tax thing is a bummer and something I was afraid of (attached post was from 2/8, page 17). At least now we know for sure...

    Seat post wear?

    I bought the Original Single Use. The single use bottle is enough for a pair of shoes so it's way more than enough to cover both points with multiple coats. I think the key is to put a very light coat on and repeat several times. I did three heavy coats and, as you can see, it started to run...

    Seat post wear?

    After only a couple of weeks I was also starting to notice wear on the black part. I have a tight fit in my garage so I have to get in and out without fully opening my door, which means an entry/exit profile wouldn't help. I put a few layers of Skuff over it and that seems to have worked...

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    I didn't need an inspection. The lady at the Tempe office had just registered another one the day before I did mine so she was pretty on top of things. Not including the initial wait time, I was out of there within 15 minutes with my alt fuel plate. Make sure you double check the paperwork as...

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    I can confirm this. I got my car registered today at the Tempe MVD location on Larkspur and the first thing the lady behind the counter said to me was "too bad you didn't purchase this after June 1. You would have saved 1% on the sales tax." I suppose I could have held off for another couple...

    What's the best tint film?

    I have the Formula ONE Pinnacle on both my S and Tacoma. I'm very happy with it. I had the side and rear windows done. I had considered also doing the pano roof and windshield but figured I'd wait to see if I really needed it. I live in AZ and park the car in pretty much full sun while...

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    Sorry, should have included the cost in the first place. The prep work was $135 which included inside and outside detail. Since my paint was in good condition (they pointed out a few swirls and smudges) it wasn't too much work. Since the Opti-Coat is 'permanent' the paint really needs to be...

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    For anyone interested in getting a sealant applied, I called a bunch of different places and the only one I found that uses any of the above was Pit Stop Detailing in Scottsdale. They use Opti-Coat. Marcus, the owner, spent quite a bit of time talking to me both on the phone and in person...

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    Has anyone done a trip to Payson yet? I'm getting my 60 delivered within the next couple of weeks and have been looking at various trips using EVTripPlanner. It looks like to go from my house in Scottsdale to Payson and back (I factored in 400 lbs, 100 degree external temp, 72 internal temp)...

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    Hi All. I just received my delivery window of May 3-17. I'm interested in having a sealant applied first thing after receiving the car. Based on the great work done by artsci in this thread, I'm leaning towards using one of the following products: CQuartz Ceramic, Glare Polish, Opti-Coat 2.0...

    Delivery Dilemma - AZ Sales Tax

    I had posted this in the Arizona thread but got no response. "Regarding the city sales tax, I think it depends on the city. I know Scottsdale will hit you up for a 'use tax' of 1.45%. I have purchased a couple of vehicles from out of state dealers and both times I received a letter from...

    Regarding the city sales tax, I think it depends on the city. I know Scottsdale will hit you up for a 'use tax' of 1.45%. I have purchased a couple of vehicles from out of state dealers and both times I received a letter from the City of Scottsdale a month or two after registering with the...
