This post has given me courage to sue Tesla for false advertising. I paid in full for FSD for my MY back in late 2020 or early 2021. For over a year it was not available. When the Beta version came out I was not qualified because of my safety score arbitrarily set up by Tesla. Mind you I...

Reading this post solidifies my opinion that Tesla is an extreme marketing company (i.e. alas their former CEO). Whatever figures they put out I calculate 80% of that value. The above post has proven this point. Their acceleration figures are based on a rolling start not from standstill...

Sorry for the delay. 285's front and rear. I have Mountain Pass Coilovers with the car lowered approx. 10mm. Also have 20mm spacers. No rubbing nor any issues so far.

Their service sucks. Everything is thru the app and they are not responsive. I have my car in service but no communication for 2 weeks.

It's been a week. No direct communication from Tesla. On the App it states it is waiting for parts. Hopefully I will get the car back by the end of the year.

l had the same exact problem when I replaced 2 tires from a reputable tire store. The car would vibrate over 60-70mph. Went back to re-balance- no effect. Went to another tire store to balance the tires again and still no change. Extremely frustrating. A few months later for some reason I...

The tow truck driver states he has been a huge spike in Teslas dying out. This is due to a short in the 12V batteries, usually happens after an update. If your car is out of warranty they are charging about 2K for labor. I think there are undue problems that they are not telling us about. As...

Tesla is definitely an evil company now. The only communication is via the App of which they reply only for their needs not yours. They rescheduled my service appt to Nov. 25. I did get a hold of someone in Tesla service. The guy kept on telling me to go thru the App and hung up on me...

Their messages disappear. I was trying to retrieve the message in which it said the problem was with the main battery and mobile service could not address it. I cannot find that message anywhere on the App. I guess I will have to screenshot all correspondences from them.

I just got text a few days ago in which the service advisor thinks the issue is the main battery. A tow truck was supposed to show up yesterday and did not. When replying back via the app, Tesla stated the case was closed. I hope they are not playing games since my warranty expires at the end...

Here is the bummer part: Just picked up a new Model X longe range on Sunday. My buddy who is starting a car buying service convinced me to use his service to sell the car when he goes live in 2 weeks. Otherwise I was going to trade in this car. I guess thats how life goes. Anyways I'm going...

Drove home yesterday with no warnings. Plugged the car with the home charger. This morning wife unhooks the charger, notices battery is fully charged, then car goes haywire. Warning signs pop up to pull over, battery indicator goes to 0 and cannot even plug in the charger cable. From what...

I had a front tire blow out and they had to replace both front tires. Never really checked the tires (its been about 2 months) but noticed they put on 285s instead of 255s on my Model Y Performance. I really haven't noticed any significant difference in driving dynamics. Any harm keeping...

My recommendation is not to purchase any of these. I paid for self driving 3 years ago and still do not have the latest self driving set up- total waste of money. Most of the other features do not work consistently. If curious subscribe first prior to purchasing and see for yourself.

I've had my car almost 3 years and they alluded to "Full Self Driving". I stopped using FSD a year ago. Some of Tesla's features are going backwards by not gradually improving- FSD, no software upgrade. I spent 10k for a promised feature- I want my money back.

Blew out 2 tires at once 6 months ago by a pothole. Ended up buying a set of wheel/tire combo fairly cheaply from a chap that swapped out his wheels immediately after he bought his car. As of yesterday ended up using all four of the tires. In 2 years of ownership, tires have been my largest...

Try eBay, there used to some vendors selling PPF kits for Teslas. YouTube is the best source learning PPF. Looks fairly straightforward

Wow people really get worked up here. To clarify I still love my Tesla. My points really were not directed toward the opinion experts here on this forum but to the company to see if some these issues could be addressed. Is it really a good thing that the backup camera now has lag, is it...

Used to be a pseudo Fan boy of Tesla- no more. I believe in steady but forward progress I.e. iphone, Porsche 911. Tesla unfortunately in my opinion has stagnated over the past year to the point it is more dangerous to drive a Tesla. A few points (no particular order) -Interface totally...

It was working fine up until recently. Sounds like a software issue that Tesla should be able to resolve, along with all the other numerous issues with the new interface.

I have noticed when I half press the blinker oftentimes it does not engage. Very frustrating when you think you have the blinker on and really don't.

Agree. Recent update made by moronic software programmers, not drivers. Used to love Tesla's simplistic layout. One step forward, 2 steps backwards!

Your set up with those wheels looks really nice.

Hey 1Q: Love your setup. Looks very subtle from the pictures. Did you previously have MYP coilovers? I have MYP and thinking about increasing the stiffness to give it better handling on curves. Still has a lot of body roll.

A combination of various vendors from eBay/Alibaba. Some components were duds but fortunately nothing was super expensive.

Bankruptcy?

I ordered the Rivian back in 2018. Very frustrating on the delays and baiting reservation holders this year that deliveries were going to start in the summer---> August---> September----> October, and now no word. I don't think they will survive in the long term on their own and will need to...

How do you reset your score.

Mountain Pass Coilovers (lowered about ½") and spacers (20mm) installed.

Both drivers side tires blown out. Rims were still good.

If I installed the Mountain Pass suspension with the rear chamber link do I have to worry about the recent Model Y suspension recall?

Why does the rear tire look tilted.

Try the 21" Performance wheels. Always getting nicks here and there, despite being paranoid about it. I have made peace with it and use a lot of spray paint touch ups.

I feel your pain. Recently knocked out the left front and rears by a pothole.

I still feel Tesla's Autopilot is way better than the competition's, however nowhere close to full self driving. My problem is that it is so erratic. For example at traffic lights: sometimes it goes thru a green traffic light normally, other times it warns you it is going to stop at the...

Just let it go. These are the most curb rash prone wheels I have ever owned. I have accepted the fact that I will get an occasional scratch here and there. So just have a bottle of touch up paint handy.

That works for the rear wheels, I would like a camera for the front wheels. These are the ones I have to be very careful when pulling into the car wash.

I have the same problem on my wife's Model X. Had the 2 front tires replaced by a very reputable tire shop. It would vibrate at highway speeds as people have described in the previous posts. Went back a few weeks later to another shop and had them rebalance the tires. This made no...

In Atlanta I rarely see a M3 Performance nor Model Y Performance. I recently got back from Dubai and only saw M3 Performance models (private party vehicles). I guess different priorities.

I think it is definitely a nice thing to have, especially when you get used to it. However mine works very erratically now, very annoying (I purchased FSD).

Oops, nasty pothole. Blew out the front and rear tires.

I have to replace 2 drivers side wheels/tires due to a pothole induced blow. Have a complete wheel/tire package coming. Can the fronts/rears be interchanged between drivers side or passenger side or are the wheels and/or tires directional.

I went in the opposite direction. When I installed coilovers from Mountain Pass it accidently lowered by 1.5" from stock. I snapped off my mudflaps in the first week. I have since raised the car.

Driving around Atlanta I rarely see Model 3 or Model Y Performance versions. I have the Model Y Performance with a recent upgrade on the suspension (Mountain Pass). Really love the car and set up. I have it on "Chill" mode 80% of my driving (mostly city, bumper-bumper). When you put it in...

I had my coilovers installed last week and they are amazing. The front of the car has dropped by at least ¼" since the initial install. I am assuming most of that is due to the suspension settling in. However I am getting paranoid that the installers did not tighten the lock screws on the...

Wow, that is really steep price wise. Looks great though.

I've had many cars PPF'd (front and whole car). My observations are that rock chips that hit the front look just as ugly as a paint chip and you still get "swirls". Yes you can remove the PPF and the paint should be good. However based on my experience I have never had to peel off the PPF...

Planning on installing mine next week. I have 20mm spacers in the rear and plan on lowering it about one inch or whatever Mountain Pass recommends. Do you guys think I should have enough clearance.

Originally tried Option 1: looked a little gaudy for me. Switched it to the license plate frame.
