Has anyone tried to do the lowering from Toolbox? Just run the ride height calibration and lie about the measured height. No need for lowering links..

@itch808 sure, the title says "measure rear toe". :) I have used the string method before and as you said, it is too much work. Professional alignment is not that expensive, there's no point wasting hours of you own time. This laser trick is very fast and at least tells you instantly if...

If track is really the same front and rear, then there must be something really wrong in my measurements... I now installed the camber shims. Toe went noticeably in. The measurement from laser to front center cap went down 15mm both sides, which should mean about 0.3 degrees per side. I took...

Hi, I'm about to install rear camber shims. I figured I'd do at least some initial toe adjustment myself. I have done it before on my earlier P85+ using strings, but now I had bought a chinese laser to make it easier. :) I figured I'd measure my current setup first, before installing the...

Yes I think so, Tesla doesn't show it directly. But average for whole 40km was 106Wh/km, that's very good. :)

Some video from our trip, this is not the same road but gives you an idea of the environment. :)

Here's some graphs from our last summer roadtrip from Finland to the Dolomites in Italy.. Energy graphs are from a single 40km trip. Started at 22% and finished at 12%, but the lowest percentage was 6% at the highest point of the mountain.. :) Consumption graph maxes out at +600Wh/km and...

Yep. But you might know someone who runs a business and can work as a "man in the middle" for a small profit. :)

An "uncorked" 75D has more power and faster acceleration than a 90D. And a bit older 90 pack can easily have less than 70kWh of nominal capacity (by Scan My Tesla).. so it's entirely possible that a good quality 75 pack will have both more capacity and more power. Still it feels like an odd...

If you create a company account at Tesla, the epc shows prices for parts and you can order directly from there!

It's s bug that's already fixed in 2024.8.9, there's a thread about it: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2024-8-4-strange-issue-possily-bug.323629/

"Active BMS" is a thing in Chinese low volt e-bike etc batteries. It works like @islandbayy described above. It first charges a capacitor from the highest voltage cell, then discharges that to the lowest voltage cell. This is repeated a few times per second. Active BMS can have quite big...

Interesting tearup by Sandy Munro. It appears that Cybertruck battery casing is only half full, could fit almost double size battery. Maybe the original range estimates were not that far off, but for some reason they decided to go for smaller battery? But obviously there is now a possibility...

I thought all RWD cars have the same motor? Just perhaps different inverter in the performance model. Really odd they would do such downgrade because it's more work than just replace with existing model.

There have been a lot of strikes in Finland this year.. This inspired someone to create this game: https://lakkopeli.fi/ It's 100% in Finnish but doesn't matter. :D Strike Game Can you manage to avoid the strike guards? Press space bar or the screen. Go to work! Then at the "game over"...

Ah. Some tyres develop a flat spot when parked, but then return to round shape when driven a bit. Probably nothing to worry about.

Plaid or LR? All Plaids shake for the first few kilometers after a cold start. Reason unknown. There are big topics about this but no solution. It feels exactly like a flat spot.

Don't worry too much. Car has protective electronics that prevent damage even if you manage to drain the battery to 0%. The worst that can happen, if battery drains to 0% it will no longer charge the 12V battery which will then start to drain. However in refresh even the "12V" battery is...

Clock should resync if you simply press and hold it for a few seconds in the touch screen. I have had this issue when crossing timezone borders, that sometimes it would not update. The press&hold-trick has always worked. I think it syncs from GPS, not the cellular. 6 minutes wrongs sounds...

Have to say I disagree on almost all of the points in the OP. I have owned a 2013 MS, 2016 MX and now 2023 MS Plaid, and I feel every step was a huge improvement.

https://cnick.io/ Just got my CNick ring. This is amazing! :) I can use it as a backup key for my car, if phone is out of juice. And also it has contactless payment! So finally you can go to the beach or waterpark and leave all your belongings to the car, and can buy ice cream and beverages...

My Tesla history: 2013 Model S P85+ 2016 Model X P90DL 2023 Model S Plaid .. Only reason for the MX there was because we needed 6 seats at the time. Now the oldest kid is 20 so i figured we can fit in a five-seater again. 5 seater Model X makes no sense to me, I can't understand the point.

I don't think those things are related. People can like or dislike FSD and stalkless controls separately. I have base AP and I'm fine with the refresh controls, I even have the yoke. My car has USS so I would have working summon and autopark, but I didn't consider them to be worth the extra.

Eh, how? Legacy scroll wheels are tied to the configurable side displays that don't exist in the refresh. Yet another feature that was better in legacy. :)

It was already established that the error can't be reset remotely. And since there is no Tesla service in your country you have quite little choices. There is not much Tesla could do, unless you expect them to ship a mechanic from a different country just to clear your error? What I'm...

I was under the impression that this only happens with the old style "real" fuse, not the battery powered one? You would think the battery powered fuse becomes just a "metal block" when the battery runs out and it no longer has power to burn itself? In either case, car should stay driveable so...

Some things for you to consider.. You don't necessarily have to do anything. The warning is just a warning, and now that you have actually replaced the fuse, nothing else will happen. You can ignore it. However, if you ever travel to mainland Europe, you can visit any Tesla Service Center and...

I'm in the same boat, with my 2023 Plaid. I kind of liked the fact that I have good old reliable USS, but at the same time a bit envious of these Vision videos. Then again, I don't even have EAP, so I won't have most of the features.

You are doing it wrong! 😄 The correct procedure is first to test drive Model 3, and pretend like that's the best car you have ever seen. Then test drive Model S and act surprised when wife says that it is so much better. Then after long family negotiations finally give up and do what she...

Blocking will work, but I'm pretty sure it asks to turn the wheel more often if you have blocked it. I just switched from an AP1 MX to a MS Plaid. I feel the current AP has much less nags than AP1. Unless you watch the screen for too long..

Received update on my Plaid yesterday. Too bad my phone doesn't support UWB.. (Samsung A53)

Slightly off-topic.. :) But for people complaining about the macsboost shim price, here's a similar product for McLaren: https://renaissancespeed.com/product/titanium-camber-shim-kit/

Well, 2013 was RWD, no issues there. Maybe it was a different guy who designed the front... Also I don't really think we are talking about the current problems in the twitter post. They mean full throttle oscillations. That has always been fine

I have read somewhere that it will fit, but can't remember where. :) I will try it myself soon when I'm changing for summer tires. The 10.5" wheel comes only 8mm outwards when compared to 9.5", but requires 18mm more room inside. So it might hit the strut? (The math: 1 inch wider = 12.7mm per...

I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume they remember you even if you have sold the car. I first paid the 250€ deposit for my new car (MS Plaid demo car), and the 15k appeared as "waiting" in the app. Then I sold my old car, which then disappeared from the app. Then next day I went to pick up the...

This works, unless the previous only has transferred FUSC to another car. Premium connectivity does not transfer so it stays in the old car, even if FUSC is transferred. Edit: Ah I just noticed you said it already, sorry. :D

Just a thought.. Initially in this thread it was suspected that the startup vibration would be some calibration of the rear motors, because it only happens in Plaid. Then this was debunked as most people feel the vibration is coming from the front, not rear. Perhaps it's running regen on front...

I just realized something that I haven't seen covered earlier in this thread or even in this forum. Pre-refresh staggered setup had bigger diameter at back: Front 245/35-21, diameter 27.8" Rear 265/35-21, diameter 28.3" So, by installing square setup, the car stance would change visually as...

Any experience of Zax wheels? These also are Tesla replicas. https://www.megahjul.com/products/en/rims/272167-TESLA-MODEL-S-PLAID-LONG-RANGE-JUNE-21-UP/staggered-package

Hi, I'm looking for aftermarket 20" wheels to replace my 21" Arachnids. There seems to be ton of options in the US but not so much in Europe.. I don't want the cheapest chinese, preferably something that actually has max load rating specified by the manufacturer.

Hmmh, it has a dedicated button on the right side. :)

Agree on most of your other points, but this I disagree. Or perhaps you haven't noticed? You can simply press the wiper button on the steering wheel, which activates the wiper once. But at the same time a menu appears on the dash, which you can use with the left scroll wheel. You don't even need...

The cold vibration somehow feels the same as if you have a manual transmission petrol car and you select much too big gear.. Try to drive 30km/h on fifth gear for example. Plaid has 0-320km/h on a single gear so it's perhaps a bit struggling on the lower end. Just my thoughts without any...

Nope, old demo car, I think it's actually manufactured late 2022 but registered in Feb 2023.. Already 13000km in the meter, so who knows how much abuse this car has taken. :)

I have had my MS Plaid for two days now. It does have the "cold start" vibration but haven't noticed anything else odd. Pulls really cleanly at any speed, full or partial throttle.. But the cold start is really odd. It's like the whole car is shaking, it can be felt in the passenger seat too...

They are winter tires! It's funny they listed the car with summer tires when the weather is like you see in the picture. So I had to buy brand new winter set to be able to pick up the car.

My new Plaid. 🥰 sorry for the bad pic. :) Red Multicoat with cream interior, early 2023 model (has USS).. Yoke wheel, which I count as a plus. It was a demo car with 13000km. 24000€ below MSRP. Cheaper than a new LR. It still counts as a "new car" though as I am the first registered owner...

I will be taking delivery of demo Plaid tomorrow. It's otherwise perfect (red multi-coat, cream interior) but it's with the 21" wheels which I don't like. I was thinking to replace them with some aftermarket 20" or 19", but now that I saw this thread I think I want stock 19" without covers.. I...

The dryer is on top of the compressor. It's not replaceable (easily). But the compressor is so cheap from Tesla it's simpler to replace the whole thing. With MCU2 it's possible to do all the air suspension things directly from the touch screen. it's probably not so good with MCU1.

They are correct. Current cars have the corrosion warranty, but it didn't exist in 2016. This was proven in some other thread where this was discussed earlier.. On the other hand, 2016 cars have unlimited mileage battery warranty, when newer cars have only 150000 miles or 240000km. No one is...
