:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:I guess I need to adjust my opinion of all of your previous posts... :eek: 🤪

Comparing a Lexus LS460 with a first generation Tesla M3LR makes no sense whatsoever. They are totally different classes of vehicle.

:D See my face? 2021 MYLR, dual motor, now at 52k miles. MPP comfort coilovers, installed in 2021 at about 10k miles. 42k miles on the coilovers: no problems, no noises. Amazing improvement in ride quality, handling, etc. YMMV.

No. It's entirely HVAC related, not related to heat pump or battery cooling.

My 2021 MYLR has several in each wheel well.

Weird shaped nuts to secure the fender lining.

There are dozens of threads in TMC discussing tire options. Here's one: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/help-me-decide-on-my-next-tires-michelin-cross-climate-sport-pilot-as-continental-extremecontact-dws.321832/post-8096611

TGuy2024: I strongly recommend you do an advanced search before you buy. Yes, it takes time, and you won't find a clearly definitive answer, but you'll learn from the several dozen members that have posted their experiences. Keep in mind that suspension needs are regionally dependent. Ribbon...

Uhh...a lawyer? for car rattles? Good luck with that. It's going to cost someone a lot of money...probably you!

When posting in a chain of posts about tires, please start the post by reminding us WHICH tires (model/size) you're talking about.

Your photos show a car that doesn't even remotely resemble how the roof/windshield fit on my roof. It looks like a retractable roof. Are these photos of a Tesla Model Y from the factory?

Just Another Y: Are you certain it isn't the traction control crunching/grinding when turning sharply into a steeply inclined driveway? Mine has done this since day one, now at 52k miles.

federico90: Is this the first car you've loaded up with your family and luggage? Did you ever look at load limits on any previous car you've owned? It's probable that you've "overloaded" other cars previous to this one. There's nothing unusual about Tesla load capacities.

It's a plastic bumper. Any reputable shop can fix it. Does NOT require Tesla involvement. Here in the states, I would recommend a Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) shop. My opinion? Less than $150 repair.

The info I posted is industry standard. Tire tread/carcass longevity is increased by gentle break in. Tire "release agent" is a known quantity.

I'm shocked none of you "experts" here mentioned the new tires on the new car?:eek::eek::eek::eek: The "releasing agent" (which is slick) on the tire tread needs to be worn off, AFAIK, needing around 100 miles to wear off. Tires need 600-`1000 miles to fully break in.

What year?

Blucenturion: I would still push the SC to replace it "under warranty" since there have been several examples of delamination, which were replaced as "defective."

Again, today, AUTO wipers would NOT function. Very weird.

Still on 2024.2.7. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I drove in a gentle mist for several miles, residential area, wipers on AUTO. Windshield completely covered in mist/droplets. Complete coverage. Wipers never engaged. Not once. Parked/left the car, ran errands...twice. Started up again. NO AUTO WIPER...

Hmm...I just checked, Advanced Search. There are a couple of dozen threads on "steering wheel peeling."

holmgang: I agree with you on all points. Familiarity is key to efficient use of travel time. Early on, it takes a little time to learn how to interpret the info provided by Tesla nav and ABRP.

Wamoosh: I'm still curious which direction you traveled from Dallas. I've done FW-Denver 3 times, FW to Sarasota, FL 3 times, twice to Frederick, MD. I've not gone due west, north or south...yet. (Just returned from 3 days at Big Bend, driving my wife's 2019 Avalon...THAT trip would be a...

pjohnson23: Please, please, PLEASE continue to do your research. Of COURSE the revision lettering means something, otherwise it wouldn't exist. It's impossible at this point to know WHAT it means until someone weighs in!

I agree with your comparison, but I'm NOT having the thoughts of upgrading. My 2021, with 51k miles, MPP Comfort Coilovers (adjustable) does everything I want it to do, WITHOUT any creaks/rattles. The paint is flawless, panel gaps are perfect all around.

WHICH ride is "WAY more smooth"?

...and plan to replace them every time you hit a curb...$$$

Within the first week, rock chip directly in front of the driver. Otherwise, zero issues in 51 k miles, 25k of them road trips at 75-80mph. 2014 Avalon, living in the exact same environment, replaced the windshield twice in 140k miles. 2009 VW Sportwagen, 1 windshield in 110k miles. 2011...

Wow. If the crack is on the inside, I don't see how Tesla can assert it was operator error.

How old is the car? How many miles? Where is the crack? Can you post a photo? AFAIK, this does NOT "...happen a lot..." . Occasionally, yes, but not a lot.

Try this? All-in-one...

Wamoosh: What's your proposed route? If it's interstate, SCs are perfectly spaced, IMHO. I keep % between 10-70%, which means charging is the fastest possible. Less convenient than ICE range of 350-500miles, the trip WILL take longer, but walking/stretching...etc...more frequently is healthier...

Dec. 2020 production. Original wipers here, 51k miles

The concept is safer for the vast majority of drivers. Even with ABS, if the rear loses traction and the car starts to rotate, the average driver will continue to stomp the brakes, and the car will continue rotating. Total loss of control. If the front loses traction, with heavy braking, ABS...

To repeat: EVERY TIME I make a right 90 degree turn, into a driveway, with a slight gutter dip and a rising driveway apron, I hear a brief grind/crunch. It has done this for 51.ooo miles. I believe it's the traction control engaging, when the right rear (inside) wheel loses traction. It...

The "standard" install drops about 1/2" all around. Make sure you understand that. I had to shave my front mudflaps to keep them from scraping on speedbumps. MPP achieves a more compliant suspension while at the same time dropping the vehicle. An experienced shop should know the installation...

Pacernow: Nope. In fact, even though the dial can go PAST 14, MPP says nothing is happening at that point. 14 is the softest.

For DFW -Panama City, keep it simple. Use the Tesla built-in navigation.

Not at all. I've driven 3 r/t DFW to Tampa, FL, and the Superchargers are perfectly spaced...as long as you follow ABRP or, even easier, letting Tesla navigate the entire route. IIRC, the actual location of the SCs is sometimes iffy, as the last few miles prior to the SC can be a little...

Curb rash? Operator error. Buy a set of these...

I've edited your post, to correct your typo... "Tesla is NOT the only one gaming the system..."

If Tesla Roadside assists you, they're not going to take your tire to Discount Tire. They will follow through with repairing or replacing your tire. They don't work for Discount Tire, right?

I totally agree. I was following my wife through our gate, and it pinged and started to close. Caught it just in time!

Car covers are a royal PITA. They're only useful when the car is meticulously clean, otherwise dirt gets imbedded in the cover and acts like sandpaper on the paint. This is ultimately worse than leaving the car exposed. HAIL: This is the ONLY time I use a car cover. I cover the horizontal...

...your statement is asking a question...

🤪 :eek:You're joking, right? Sealant for a blowout is worthless, which is why the lengthy hand-wringing discussions about various after-market spare tires!

It would be interesting to examine 100 random Teslas, coming off the production line, and actually COUNT how many have the well-documented "panel gap, paint, interior rattle" QC issues. I have a sharp eye for detail, and I have yet to see issues in the hundreds of Teslas I've seen on the road...

IMHO, (sometimes not so H!) anything below 3/32" is serious risk. Wet traction is dramatically reduced, especially in a thunderstorm. For me, it's not worth the risk, especially if there are multiple people in a household that don't understand the laws of physics!

I've now adjusted to f:14/10, r:14/12. I've changed tires to Pirelli Scorpion A/S3, 255/50 X 19" (vs. 255/45 X 19") I've dropped tires to 36PSI, all around. You can see from all of this that I'm going totally for comfort, so my wife will be comfortable the few times she rides with me. PLUS, my...

Tesla battery tests include a test that draws the battery down to 0%, lingering for "x" amount of time, and then charging to 100%, again, lingering long enough to balance the cells. This is how battery capacity is determined. This isn't advisable on a frequent basis, but an occasional draw down...
