I’m at 39k miles on my OEM set of PS4s. Y’all drive like maniacs.

I’m not saying it’s a good idea but more of an observation. Take a look at peoples tires around So Cal sometime. All balding or totally bald. That’s why there are so many accidents at the lightest sprinkling of rain.

I got the notification last week. Scheduled mobile service, came in 2 days, replaced for free under warranty in my garage in 30 mins. Mobile service is becoming one of the best things about Tesla ownership. Maybe even tops SC network.

I’ve rotated every 10k miles on my M3P because the wear has been pretty even. Get yourself a tread depth tool for a couple bucks.

There is no annual service nor is it covered. If all goes well for your car all you’ll need in 4 years are tire related costs (rotation, replacement etc), cabin air filters, wiper fluid and blades, and maybe 12V battery.

Im at 39k miles with stock summer Michelin PS4s on my M3P aaaaalmost at the wear bears. Mostly highway miles.

Driving habits are the main determinants of tread life.

Probably could’ve gotten more life out of the tires depending on the weather you live in. In So Cal you can literally drive on bald tires (thanks severe drought!). Next time plan ahead. Shop for tire deals online. Sometimes even Costco has good deals. $50/tire to install is on the higher side.

I also bought a pair for a recent trip to Big Bear but ended up using traditional chains instead. Was saving them if I needed to throw them on in a pinch since they seem easier to put on. One thing to note though is that if the tires are stuck on snow and have no traction to begin with you can’t...

12V battery. Just replaced mine last week on my 2020

Oh I dunno something along the lines of using ultrasonic sensors instead of relying on the camera like the rest of the modern car world.

Well the reality is that it’s complicated. If you have a garage and the car doesn’t sit outside in freezing temps, it’s probably fine to drive around in sub 40 temps right after pulling out of the garage.

That space is for the right hand drive 6MT versions

Just waiting for the one that says “Sign up for a Twitter Blue account for the full Tesla experience”

<puts alternative fact flame suit on> I wouldn’t recommend driving in freezing temps even when dry with summer tires. Not only will you have reduced traction, you risk cracking the rubber compound in the tire. Just google “summer tires below 40” and decide for yourself. <waits for that reply...

If you’re not on a TOU plan then you probably don’t have a Super off peak period? Why don’t you just look at your actual bill?

Auto steer gone awry

Spotted the frequent Jalopnik commenter

The low windshield fluid warning came on the other day. Time to let it go.

Yea step one find out what plan you’re actually on. Step two switch to EVTOU5 if you’re not.

You like to live dangerously

I just got this alert today and have mobile service coming out on Thursday. So I take it the car wont leave me stranded and just use the main battery to keep the car alive? I have a 2020 with 38k miles and a little over 2 years.

maybe not properly balanced

Save the $200 for…anything else.

What are brakes

Nuna Rava is so easy to get tight it’s ridiculous. Pricey but absolutely worth it.

Depends on your area but alignment at my local SC was cheaper than everywhere else

like I tell my SO, use both hands

Where else do you have to pay $15k to be a beta tester

It means we all bought Kickstarter products to fund Elon's twitter purchase

I’m at 38k miles on set of PS4s with 4-5 mm left <shrug>

PS4s arguably best street tire for the street, not the track but for the street as in daily driving not racing, not tracking, not auto crossing, not in snow

Welcome to Tesla OTA updates. Where hardware features get removed (radar), handling gets worse (steering feel) and UI gets shuffled around every time Elon makes a twitter poll

Engine oil dripping back in to pan. Normal.

Timing belt is off

Maybe an additional audio notification will alert distracted drivers. Something like a fart sound perhaps. But in all seriousness, people still rear end huge semis, ambulances and fire engines with their signals on. Plus I don’t think any “jailbreak” solution is readily available to modify the...

Just slap on a cyclist taillight on the back of the car

Driving in snow and crashing with stock summer tires is mine

Elon is going to ban your Twitter account out of spite

I’m just amazed sometimes that BT tech for TPMS can instantly pair with the car and even know which tire is which automatically and yet pairing BT speakers to phones is so incredibly painful.

Depends what you’re looking for. MS is big comfy cushy vs M3P is basically a faster version of the car you already have. Do you want/need a bigger car for like growing kids?

Tint your rear windshield

Unsure if audiophile quality audio matters in a car with such bad road isolating properties.

Jealous I want that

caveat emptor -Elon Musk

Taking the Audi will be cutting it close with tire wear.

Yup first and last Tesla. Other companies will catch up. Supercharging will be non-proprietary. No reason to stay unless you’re a Elon boot licker.

Check underneath the car. Maybe you’re dragging something (someone?).
