    How to have headlights always on when driving (not using "Auto" mode)

    I have found that having headlights on is actually LESS safe than the DRLs. For me, if I see something bright, even during the day, I will automatically (involuntarily) look away, rather than "see" it. The DRLs are plenty bright and I agree with Jerry33 and Zythryn, the small headlight surface...

    Major Rust on Rotors in a few hours ?

    I wish Tesla would figure out that they need to adjust the alloy or the heat treating of the rotors. I've never had a car that the rotors rust so bad that literally EVERY day that it rains or snows, even if I only park for a few hours, my brakes rust so bad they stick and clunk when I drive...

    More aftermarket wheel pics, with specs to get the fit dialed in.

    Thanks to inspiration from other's posts with detailed specs and help from Oscar Arias with Ace Alloy and the pics he posted of the 22" Ace Alloy wheels from a few weeks ago on the Tesla Owners Facebook page, I decided to do a similar setup, but in 20" size. I actually had searched a long time...
