    18” photon (highland) wheels on M3P??

    Does anyone know if the 18” Photon wheels will clear the Model 3 Performance (PUP/red Caliper) brakes? I have 18’s that I’ve been using for winter but I’d like to snag another set of 18’s for the other 3 seasons. I think the photons look pretty decent, and it’s nice not to have centering rings...

    I'm looking for instructions on how to access Fuse Box 1 on a pre facelift Model S (2013 P85 FWIW) It's buried in the frunk and I'm not sure what to remove or how to remove it to get access. Specifically I'm looking to remove the fuse for the yaw sensor (F12) so I can disable stability...

    Tesla Home Battery

    Rumours have the 10kWh unit at $13,000... It's a major bummer i was hoping it would be a lot cheaper so it could have some sort of ROI with peak shaving and be a battery backup for when the power goes out as well. I looked at my peak usage over the last 30 days and if I multiply by 12 and...

    Has anyone taken their P85D or S85D on a track yet?

    If you've had your P85D or S85D on the track, what is the power limiting like? The P85 will limit after a lap or so on a typical road course where there are reports of the S85 lasting around 4 laps without limiting power. Do the P85D and S85D last any longer on the track than their RWD...

    Charging in Detroit - making the trek to NAIAS

    So i'm thinking about taking my Model S to the NAIAS on the 23rd. Are there any 80A L2 EVSE's in town? From searching plugshare it doesn't look like it. It appears the fastest L2 charging available is 40A at the Atheneum Suite Hotel. Even at 40A I think I'd need a good 6 hours of charging to...

    Rear facing seats on display in Toronto?

    Can anyone tell me if Yorkdale or the Lawrence Ave. Service Center has a car on display with the rear facing seats? I was thinking about checking out the Supercharger today and wondered if I could see the jumpseats at the same time. Unfortunately the stores don't open until 10am... Thanks!

    Would you run 255/35R19

    I found a pair of brand new 255/35R19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports locally for cheap. Would be an inexpensive way to have PSS on the car. I'd prefer 255/40R19 as they are closer to the stock size... Thoughts?

    Is a HPWC/80A charging possible with this panel?

    It has a 200A main breaker (which is just outside the picture)... The breaker labeled washrooms is 125A. I am assuming it is likely due to baseboard heaters etc. Unfortunately I just noticed that you can't read the breaker to the right of it... Any thoughts?
