    Upper Rear Link Build (Reduces rear camber to improve tire wear)

    Upper Rear Link Build (Reduces rear camber to improve tire wear)

    Hi, Lola or Harry, Got .210 longer links put in. They got the camber down to .9, but they said they could only get the tow to .5 tow out. Out of adjustment room on the esentrics. Do you think they alined at the wrong height or the car has warn bushings somewhere in the rear suspension not...

    Brakes - Brembo, others

    I find that I need to clean the brakes in the winter a few times. I do about 10 big stops from around 90km/hr. Then do a few emergency brake applications to clean those pads. You will feel the breaks coming on as you do it. If it's wet and dirty out I try to give the breaks a good heating before...

    Model S In-Flight Refueling.

    My car started this about 2-3 updates ago. Reset one of your trip meters! This really messes with the head. Check out the energy charts too. Not accurate anymore:( I hope they fix this.

    Negative Camber in the Rear and Expensive Tires

    Welding the upper links? Hi, I have read the entire thread. Thank you for all the great data and settings. I have chronic tire wear also. I'm at 116,000 Kms. My question is...

    I think it's fun to refer to my P85 as "the golf cart!" Because when I take said person for a ride it blows ther mind. On a personal note its, to me free from trouble, don't think about jumping in go anywhere car. Just push the excellerator and go kind of car. "Like a golf cart". Sort of a...

    Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 shot after 4,000 miles???

    I don't understand it either, but I have my favourite tires on last winter. Nokian R2's. I love Nok's and have always got 30-40-50 k on a set. Last winter the day I put them on i raced on them, don't ask. Maybe an 30-40 mins of max excel, max braking. They where still fine as far as tread wear...

    My no tech is vin 9904. My car will unlock if I'm close to it. But it doesn't auto present handles. They have changed packages a few times as the updates have come out. My car still auto unlocks. Tesla should explain it the best.

    Winter Tires - Michelin X-Ice Xi3 vs. Nokian Hakka R2

    I've had Nokian's since 1990 on various cars. 1st winter with the R2's good as usual in the snow, but 1/2 of summer traction on bare pavement? Had regen set to normal so all the ware was to the back tires. I did drive hard on them too. The fronts are still above 90% rears are down to the all...

    So how much are you really saving?

    True, true, true, besides I love putting the camera on and watching the black lines appear from the tires as I drop the hammer, like a boat wake of rubber disappearing into the horizon. (quite roads needed). I spend close to the cost of just my oil changes on juice. Back tires are the only thing...

    And you should see the. Savings in Canada@ 4.73/us gal. I've done just over 5,000 Km's in my first month. If I had my gasser I'd be into an oil change now too. $80.00 mobile 1 and filter.

    Will Tesla consider making Hydrogen cars? 500 miles refueling in 3 minutes?

    So a gallon of gas is equal to a kg of hydrogen. 25-30 miles for 50 kw's of electricity converted to hydrogen. $8. of electricity will get you 266 Km's. so about 10 times the cost.

    Generating 220V from 110V on the go or in a host garage overnight

    Yeehaw! Can't do that with gas. I built for $ 59.00 a 2 plug 120 volt to single stove plug, must set amps to 14 or less. 12 is proper for not popping breakers. Bumps me from 5-6 kms/hr to 13-14 kms/hr. Nice when away from home.
